However, seeing Shang Qing’s flushed cheeks, Gu Qiaoqiao could only suppress the unwillingness in her heart. She looked at Dongfang Yu and said rather disruptively, "Then you should hurry up and recover. I’m still waiting for you to find Nie Luan."
If Nie Luan isn’t found, there will always be hidden dangers. Moreover, Sect Leader Nie has beco sowhat unreadable. He’s learned so things about the Gu Family that he shouldn’t know. If he’s malicious towards the Gu Family, it could be very dangerous.
Although it’s not about eliminating every single person with ill intentions towards the Gu Family, it’s still necessary to show them the thods of the Gu Family, so they think twice about whether they have the weight to ss with the Gu Family.
Dongfang Yu’s brow furrowed slightly. After pondering for a mont, he spoke softly, "I know Nie Luan is in the Imperial Capital, but the aura around him is too chaotic."
"His aura is too chaotic? What does that an?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked in surprise. "Does it an the place he’s staying is chaotic?"
"The place he’s staying wouldn’t be chaotic. That wouldn’t be conducive to his recovery and rehabilitation. When I say he’s in the Imperial Capital, I don’t an he’s in the city. He should be staying in the nearby mountains..."
"Then why do you say his aura is very chaotic?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked again.
Dongfang Yu glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao and shook his head. "I’m not quite sure either." He then speculated, "Maybe a lot of people are looking for him."
Gu Qiaoqiao had no objections to this point. At the very least, she knew that both the Gu Family and Sect Leader Nie had been searching for Nie Luan.
But besides them, could there be others looking for him?
Who could those others be?
Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression turned serious. If indeed others were searching for Nie Luan, the matter couldn’t be taken lightly because it might an people she didn’t know from the Mystic Sect were involved. However, it couldn’t be ruled out that it might be people from Archive Room No.1 searching for him.
Although Nie Luan was in charge of Archive Room No.1, it wasn’t completely independent, and naturally, he had superiors. His superiors also had to be accountable to their higher-ups, so they were searching for him too.
Now, it was a race to see who would find Nie Luan first.
Thinking of this, Gu Qiaoqiao said solemnly, "If you need anything, I’ll help you..."
Currently, Gu Qiaoqiao needed Dongfang Yu to recover quickly, so they could find Nie Luan as soon as possible.
Dongfang Yu, however, shook his head. He understood Gu Qiaoqiao’s intentions, but he needed to rely completely on himself, otherwise, there would be lingering risks, as his current physical condition was already weakened.
Not allowing any mishaps
Thus, Dongfang Yu calmly said, "Thank you for your kind offer. I know my body, and this current state is the best for ."
Gu Qiaoqiao did not press further; so matters couldn’t be rushed.
At this mont, Shang Qing, who had been standing silently by their side, spoke, "Qiaoqiao, wait for a mont. I’m going to pack up so things."
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, and Shang Qing walked towards her bedroom.
Dongfang Yu only withdrew his gaze when Shang Qing’s figure disappeared at the bedroom door. He then looked at Gu Qiaoqiao and said warmly, "You’ve been to my Treasure Room. On the north wall, there’s a red sandalwood box. The box has ’Great Northwest’ written on it, containing so items inadvertently acquired from the Northwestern region. You can select a few suitable ones for Shang Qing to take back."
Gu Qiaoqiao was taken aback. She knew of Dongfang Yu’s Treasure Room, which held many valuable items. She was quite surprised, "Why don’t you let Shang Qing choose for herself?"
Dongfang Yu smiled slightly, "Xiao Qing’s character wouldn’t allow her to take these things."
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded to herself. Dongfang Yu truly understood Shang Qing. If Shang Qing were to choose, she wouldn’t take anything.
Not to ntion Shang Qing’s family was already well-off; even if not, with Shang Qing’s character, she wouldn’t do such a thing.
Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a mont, agreed, and then headed directly to the place without deliberately inquiring where Dongfang Yu’s Treasure Room was. She knew for sure Xiao Bai had already inford Dongfang Yu about her previous visit there.
At this mont, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly rembered the jade pendant. She realized she had never asked Dongfang Yu about the origin of the jade pendant, nor did she ask about Xiao Bai’s background.
Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at Shang Qing’s bedroom. That girl had brought quite a lot of things and would probably take so ti to pack. So she stopped in her tracks, turned to Dongfang Yu, raised an eyebrow, and asked softly, "I have two questions for you. If you know, tell the truth. If you don’t, please don’t lie to deceive ."
A hint of amusent flickered in Dongfang Yu’s eyes. It seems one shouldn’t do bad things; doing it once, you’ll be regarded as often doing it. Nonetheless, he nodded, "Rest assured, I won’t lie to deceive you. Ask away."
"What was it like when you saw Xiao Bai?"
Dongfang Yu was surprised, not having expected Gu Qiaoqiao to ask about Xiao Bai.
He looked steadily at Gu Qiaoqiao; she must be asking about the jade pendant Xiao Bai gave her so ti ago.
Though he didn’t know what purpose the jade pendant served for Gu Qiaoqiao, he reckoned it wasn’t an ordinary piece. It had no use to him but might be aningful to Gu Qiaoqiao.
eting Xiao Bai was indeed a matter of long, long ago, during his youth, when his mories were fragnted.
However, the sight of eting Xiao Bai remained unforgettable.
Dongfang Yu pondered for a mont, then spoke, "When I first saw Xiao Bai, it was not very old, around sixteen or seventeen. I t it in a small fishing village by the East Sea. At the ti, Xiao Bai was no different from an ordinary kitten. Later, when I brought it ho, my father discovered Xiao Bai’s uniqueness. We then ford a contract. After making the contract, I ca to know Xiao Bai was a Divine Beast, but for so unknown reason, it was sealed, taking the appearance of a kitten..."
Dongfang Yu narrated smoothly.
Gu Qiaoqiao appeared to listen calmly, but inside, she was astonished. She hadn’t expected Xiao Bai’s background to be like this. She couldn’t help but ask in surprise, "A Divine Beast? How could it be a Divine Beast? Aren’t they only in myths and legends?"
"I also thought they only existed in myths and legends, but in fact, Xiao Bai is indeed one of the last remaining Divine Beasts."
Gu Qiaoqiao stared at Dongfang Yu, as if trying to discern whether he was telling the truth or lying, but after a few monts, she knew it was true. Curiosity piqued, she asked, "What kind of Divine Beast is sealed into the shape of a cat?"
"Before being sealed, it was a young white tiger cub," Dongfang Yu said flatly.
