"Alright, you don’t need to co to about these matters anymore, Zhang Yi can handle everything." Gu Qingfeng decided decisively.
He Shan smiled and nodded, leisurely walked out of the reception room, made a round at the counter of Yubao Square, said a few words to Zhang Yi, and then walked out of Yubao Square.
After he left, Gu Qingfeng’s face turned somber.
What does this Old Thief He an?
Having his granddaughter bring a piece of paper, is he testing ?
The Old Patriarch knows about the items on it, many of which only Yubao Square has, but, not to ntion now, even fifty years ago, those would never have been leaked.
They are all the treasures of Yubao Square, and this old guy brazenly listed their nas on it.
Is this provocation or showing off to ?
This is not several decades ago!
Gu Qingfeng called Zhang Yi over, whispered a few instructions, and then got into the car and drove towards Gu Garden.
At the sa ti, Gu Qiaoqiao pushed open the gates to Gu Garden, hearing laughter and voices coming from the hall from afar.
Turns out, Shang Qing and Chu Chengfeng are both here.
Of course, it’s their first ti visiting here, Great Grandma and her mother wouldn’t let them leave.
At this mont, Gu Qiaoqiao’s urge beca even more pressing.
She thought for a mont, then resolutely quickened her pace, bypassed the Great Pagoda Tree, and headed towards the courtyard of the Treasure Room.
That was the most direct thought in Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart.
Xiao Bai was very clever because it heard the liveliness in the hall, but it wanted to be with Gu Qiaoqiao, where Gu Qiaoqiao was heading was also its desire.
Despite the thought’s inexplicable ergence, despite having been to this Gu Garden countless tis before,
this ti felt different than usual.
Xiao Bai’s steps were hurried as well.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t notice, as her internal urge grew even stronger.
It’s as if at this mont, in this world, there was only this one thing that had to be done.
The hall remained noisy and bustling.
While the place Gu Qiaoqiao was heading to was hidden and cool.
As Gu Qiaoqiao stood at the entrance of the Treasure Room, she noticed the little white cat at her feet.
So Gu Qiaoqiao looked down, finding Xiao Bai eagerly watching her.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t intend to bring it inside, since it’s Gu Family’s secret place, but sohow she opened the bookshelf switch.
The bookshelf gradually parted to both sides.
Xiao Bai darted into the Treasure Room like a puff of smoke.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t even have ti to stop it.
Helpless, Gu Qiaoqiao quickly followed in.
Gu Qiaoqiao turned on the light in the Treasure Room.
This place was different from Dongfang Yu’s secret room, lacking Luminous Pearl for illumination.
Once inside, Xiao Bai did not act imdiately, but paused a mont on the spot.
Its purple eyes were as dazzling as gemstones.
Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a mont, took out the Jade Pendant from her bag, then noticed it seed to be slightly warm.
Gu Qiaoqiao knew internally that the Jade Pendant clamored to go to where the Mysterious Dragon Box was placed.
Yet Gu Qiaoqiao tightly held onto the Jade Pendant, unmoving, watching Xiao Bai.
Because she wanted to see what Xiao Bai intended to do.
A mont later, Xiao Bai moved, darting towards where the Mysterious Dragon Box was placed in Duobao Pavilion.
Then, with another dart, it climbed up.
Sitting beside the Mysterious Dragon Box.
Gu Qiaoqiao was startled.
Rushed over, standing in front of Duobao Pavilion, looking at Xiao Bai, finally asked, "Xiao Bai, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Bai placed its paw on the box, eyes revealing a hint of uncertainty and confusion, evidently unclear about its own intent.
Gu Qiaoqiao remained silent, after a few breaths, Xiao Bai pointed to the Jade Pendant, then the Mysterious Dragon Box.
"Xiao Bai, are you suggesting putting the Jade Pendant in the box?"
Xiao Bai finally nodded.
It squatted obediently beside the box, watching Gu Qiaoqiao.
Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated montarily but followed her inner thought, because she indeed had this idea earlier.
She didn’t hesitate any longer and opened the Mysterious Dragon Box.
Upon opening the Mysterious Dragon Box, the Jade Pendant in her hand grew warr.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt as if she was holding a red-hot iron.
And at this mont, the Red Lotus Flower inside the Mysterious Dragon Box seed to emit a special aura, while the Jade Pendant itched to act.
Gu Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth, it was the White Jade Stone inside the Mysterious Dragon Box’s call, she could not hesitate any longer.
Thus, Gu Qiaoqiao placed the Jade Pendant atop the Red Lotus Flower inside the Mysterious Dragon Box.
Then, to the astonished gaze of both human and cat, the Jade Pendant seed like ice lting into a pool of water, or a fish swimming into the depths of the pond, in a blink, it vanished atop the lotus flower.
Gu Qiaoqiao hurriedly pressed her hand on the Red Lotus Flower, quietly sensing the White Jade Stone’s aura inside.
The White Jade Stone underwent an imperceptible change.
It seed the weak energy within the White Jade Stone fird a bit more.
aning, it was well-nourished.
Especially with the added power of the Jade Pendant.
Xiao Bai stared blankly at the Red Lotus Flower inside the Mysterious Dragon Box.
Unblinking.
Almost like a sculpture.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t imdiately remove her hand either, still slightly squinting, carefully perceiving everything inside.
The Treasure Room once again fell silent.
As if sothing was slowly flowing in the air.
Xiao Bai was uncertain of itself.
But upon sensing the White Jade Stone, its feeling aligned with Gu Qiaoqiao’s.
So, at this mont, Xiao Bai felt inexplicably sad.
When Gu Qiaoqiao opened her eyes, she saw tears flowing from Xiao Bai’s eyes.
Can cats cry?
Gu Qiaoqiao was surprised looking at Xiao Bai.
She might be uninford, but she really hadn’t seen a cat cry before.
Dripping onto the Mysterious Dragon Box, and onto the sandalwood boards of Duobao Pavilion.
Yet, its body remained unmoving, still watching the Red Lotus Flower inside the Mysterious Dragon Box.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart felt like it had been struck hard, a wave of sadness welled up, she blinked, pulled her hand back, hesitated for a mont, then snapped the Mysterious Dragon Box shut.
The sound seed to rouse Xiao Bai.
Gazed at Gu Qiaoqiao blankly.
Gu Qiaoqiao reached out, holding Xiao Bai, whispered, "It needs nurturing, let’s not disturb it, okay?"
Xiao Bai nodded.
Yet, doubts rose again in Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart.
Xiao Bai was Dongfang Yu’s cat, they were bound by contract, had been together for a long ti, and from her observations, Dongfang Yu and the Gu Family Ancestor seemingly had no relation.
Then what’s the story with the Jade Pendant Xiao Bai wore?
