Because as far as he knows, Dongfang Yu disappeared after Nie Luan appeared, so the two of them are very likely together.
Even though he doesn’t know what Nie Luan is doing. But that person has great ambition and many ideas. Although there wasn’t much interaction between the two, he was involved in so secrets that only insiders knew.
It is said that he is soone with a particularly strong curiosity about unknown things.
There was a mont of silence in the jeep.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t speak, just lazily leaned back in her seat looking ahead, while Qin Yize was silent for a mont before saying, "Nie Luan is again doing things that violate the rules of the Mystic Sect."
"Yes, I learned about it recently too. Sect Leader Nie tasked Xiao Wen with finding , but the situation at the ti was special. It was impossible for to bring Dongfang Yu out; bringing him out would be more dangerous."
"But Dongfang Yu can’t stay there forever."
Gu Qiaoqiao frowned, "I understand the logic too, but now Archive Room No.1 is clearly in trouble, though they are unaware of the basent issues."
"Qiaoqiao, don’t act on your own. I heard from Brother Gu that Elder Zhang and Sect Leader Nie are in Gu Garden. I’ll go back to handle so confidential docunts first, and you go back to Gu Garden. I’ll pick you up tomorrow afternoon."
Gu Qiaoqiao originally wanted to refuse Qin Yize; she didn’t want him involved in this matter.
Clearly, Qin Yize was worried about her going alone.
So Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, "Then I’ll wait for you to pick up."
Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao agree so easily, Qin Yize couldn’t help but feel relieved; he was actually worried she’d disagree.
This little girl, despite her delicate appearance, can actually be quite stubborn at tis.
He smiled slightly at Gu Qiaoqiao and continued to focus intently on driving.
After driving for two hours, Gu Qiaoqiao started to feel drowsy.
After a while, Gu Qiaoqiao lazily opened her eyes, as at this mont Qin Yize unexpectedly stopped the car. She asked in surprise, "Why did you stop the car?"
"Qiaoqiao, why don’t you go sleep in the back? You definitely didn’t sleep well last night."
Gu Qiaoqiao widened her eyes and insisted, "I’m not sleepy, I’ll keep you company; driving alone is boring."
Qin Yize laughed; his wife still cared for him, but he gently said, "I can see you’re very sleepy."
Gu Qiaoqiao giggled and shook her head, "No problem, I’ll get out and move around a bit."
Saying that, Gu Qiaoqiao pushed the car door open, got out, and stood by the roadside stretching. By now, they had been driving for almost two hours and were already out of Jinling City’s range.
At this point, there were many cars on the road. The place where they stopped was a temporary parking area, essentially a square earthen mound by the roadside, intended for cars with temporary issues to park or for road workers to rest.
After the storm, the sky was blue as if washed by water.
With the sun out, the damp sll was gone, but the air remained fresh.
Gu Qiaoqiao moved around on the ground for a while, and the drowsiness completely disappeared. Qin Yize stood by, smiling as he watched his little wife exercise her arms and legs amidst the distant verdant mountains.
Then he noticed Xiao Bai snuggling affectionately at Gu Qiaoqiao’s feet.
Actually, cats have such habits; it can be said that these pets are like this. They love to stick by their owners, snuggling against them, as if proving that’s the strongest connection.
However, Qin Yize found this sneaky cat rather annoying.
He walked over, bent down, and in one swift motion, grabbed Xiao Bai by the back of the neck, lifting it up.
Xiao Bai was stunned, forgetting to resist.
Its purple eyes fixedly looked at the man who grabbed it.
How could this be?
How could it be!
Actually caught by this man called Qin Yize. If it were its master, fine; if Gu Qiaoqiao, that’s normal. But how did this man catch it?
It must be this man’s quick movents, so fast it left the cat unprepared. That’s the reason.
Because it was by Gu Qiaoqiao’s side, it had let its guard down completely.
So annoying!
Xiao Bai glared at Qin Yize with its eyes, but Qin Yize paid no mind, carrying Xiao Bai toward the car.
Gu Qiaoqiao shouted from behind, "Ah Ze, don’t hold Xiao Bai like that; it’ll hurt."
Qin Yize was unmoved, opened the car door, and tossed Xiao Bai onto the back seat. He then laughed, "No worries, its skin is thick; it won’t hurt."
The rear car window was actually open, ant for ventilation.
But Xiao Bai didn’t dare jump out of the car.
It had to admit, although Qin Yize was just an ordinary person, beneath his handso exterior lay a fierce heart.
Not to ntion an ordinary cat, even a Divine Beast faced with soone like him would naturally feel a sense of awe.
In the animal world, it’s survival of the fittest; even the clever Xiao Bai couldn’t escape this rule.
It placed its paws on the window ledge, looking pitifully at Gu Qiaoqiao.
Gu Qiaoqiao glared at Qin Yize, scolding, "It’s just a cat; why do you have to be so an to it?"
Qin Yize spoke slowly, "Qiaoqiao, don’t forget this is Dongfang Yu’s cat. It’ll return to Dongfang Yu sooner or later."
Gu Qiaoqiao thought of the Jade Pendant rged in the ruby lotus, softly saying, "Ah Ze, Dongfang Yu may not be its first owner."
"What do you an?" Qin Yize calmly asked.
Regardless of who Xiao Bai’s owner was, he didn’t want Xiao Bai sticking to Gu Qiaoqiao like this.
"I just have a feeling," Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression was pensive, pausing before continuing, "Maybe Xiao Bai is connected to our Gu Family."
"Oh, is it because of that Jade Pendant?"
"Pretty much."
Gu Qiaoqiao spoke softly.
"Even so, once Dongfang Yu cos out, Xiao Bai will return to him, since they’re bound by contract."
"I know," Gu Qiaoqiao said sowhat sullenly.
Although she’s known Xiao Bai for a long ti, they’ve not spent much ti together. But Xiao Bai, who likes to stick close, is actually quite likable.
Thinking that once Dongfang Yu cos out, Xiao Bai will completely leave her, made her feel a bit uncomfortable.
Qin Yize reached out to embrace Gu Qiaoqiao, changing the topic by pointing at a large tree in the distance, "Qiaoqiao, do you know the legend about that tree?"
