San Qi’s face turned pale, and gritting his teeth, he said, "Miss Gu, whatever you want, just tell . I’ll agree to any condition you propose."
Gu Qiaoqiao pondered for a mont; she still couldn’t claim ownership of this Ruyi Ball. The situation was unclear, and there were many things she didn’t know yet. However, she could take advantage of this opportunity to ask about the things she wanted to know, so she said, "I want to ask you a few questions. Can you answer truthfully?"
"I’ll tell you everything except things related to the master."
Gu Qiaoqiao looked deeply into San Qi’s eyes and said softly, "I’m young, so don’t kneel to , just get up and talk."
San Qi thought for a while and stood up from the ground.
Gu Qiaoqiao directly asked, "What is the secret behind the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map?"
San Qi hesitated for a mont, then gritted his teeth and replied, "One of the mountains in the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map is the gate to another dinsion."
"The gate to another dinsion?" Gu Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Do you know which mountain it is?"
San Qi shook his head, "I don’t know."
"Where did you get this information from then?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked softly.
San Qi glanced steadily at the Ruyi Ball resting motionless in Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand and said helplessly, "It was a friend of the master, soone called Old Thief He."
"Old Thief He?" Gu Qiaoqiao raised her voice involuntarily, "Is the Old Thief He you’re talking about the grandfather of He Shan?"
"He Shan, Miss He?" San Qi thought for a mont and nodded, "Yes, that’s him."
Gu Qiaoqiao fell silent for a mont. No wonder He Shan was willing to pay a high price to acquire the original Hundred Miles of Mountains Map. So there was this secret. But, is it true?
A painting is just a piece of paper; how could it possibly be the passage to another dinsion?
However, now she knew why these people were trying so hard to obtain the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map. Gu Qiaoqiao pondered for a mont and continued to ask, "Were you here for the painting?"
San Qi’s eyes shifted and he nodded, "Yes, we ca for the painting."
At this mont, the Ruyi Ball unexpectedly moved in Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand. Suddenly, it emitted a beam of light, unnoticed by both, which shot towards San Qi standing opposite Gu Qiaoqiao, hitting him squarely on his forehead. San Qi staggered backwards, unable to keep his balance, and fell onto the ground again. He looked at the Ruyi Ball in shock; what was happening?
Why did the Ruyi Ball suddenly act against him?
Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly felt a connection with the Ruyi Ball, and said with a faint smile, "You’re lying, that’s why the Ruyi Ball is punishing you."
San Qi’s face changed color repeatedly, truly a spectacle. Despite being a mber of the Mystic Sect, having traveled the world with the master, seeing and knowing a lot, today’s events were unprecedented. At this mont, he gathered his thoughts, lowered his head and said, "The two of us accompanied the young lady to the Central Plains because soone sent a ssage to the master saying there is soone in the Central Plains who can open the ti portal."
"Open the ti portal?" Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart skipped a beat, yet she asked calmly, "Who sent the ssage to you?"
"I don’t know, it’s a private communication with the master."
"And then?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked firmly.
"The master instructed us to find this person and bring him back to the island."
"Anything else?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked, still calm, but her heart was raging.
Opening the ti portal, could it be talking about her? And in this world, if not her, then who?
Evidently, the three of them hadn’t found the person who could open the ti portal.
Gu Qiaoqiao inexplicably felt a sense of relief.
anwhile, the Ruyi Ball stayed quiet in her hand, focusing intently on connecting with the spiritual energy in her hand, and didn’t perform any other actions, indicating that San Qi was speaking the truth.
Gu Qiaoqiao glanced down at the Ruyi Ball and smiled gently; this little Ruyi Ball is really adorable, so spirited.
No matter what, it’s confird that this Ruyi Ball is definitely related to the Gu Family; otherwise, it wouldn’t interact with her in this way.
In the world, as long as sothing has spirituality, its heart is the purest.
Like the Ruyi Ball in front of her, and the little Xiao Bai who is very close to her, both are alike.
The hall of Yubao Square fell silent once again, as San Qi steadied himself, took a deep breath, secretly lit a Spirit Talisman to calm his mind and body, and after a while, he looked at Gu Qiaoqiao imploringly and said, "Miss Gu, enemies are easier to resolve than to create. Now that things have developed to this point, I have nothing more to say. I hope you will keep your word, return the Ruyi Ball to , and remove the Death Qi from my young lady."
"I can return the Ruyi Ball to you, but if I remove the Death Qi from your young lady, can you assure that she won’t retaliate against us?"
Gu Qiaoqiao asked calmly.
San Qi gritted his teeth, dared not lie, and said quietly, "The young lady has always had a bold temper, I can’t guarantee that."
"So let’s be straightforward, I won’t completely remove the Death Qi from your young lady. Only when I can ensure the complete safety of our Gu Family and the Qin Family, can I do so."
San Qi hesitated for a mont but nodded, "Alright, let’s go save the young lady now."
Although Gu Qiaoqiao was confident that the Death Qi wouldn’t imdiately claim Ouyang Rong’s life, she realized that the Death Qi was too intense in the courtyard where Ouyang Rong lived. She hadn’t anticipated that such negative energy would rush there like the flowing Yellow River. Therefore, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t guarantee Ouyang Rong would be fine; if Ouyang Rong really died, it would make things difficult.
So, Gu Qiaoqiao nodded.
San Qi was overjoyed to see Gu Qiaoqiao nod and quickly walked towards her, reaching out to take the Ruyi Ball, but at that mont, the Ruyi Ball suddenly shone brightly, seemingly intending to attack San Qi.
Gu Qiaoqiao extended her hand, gently stroked the Ruyi Ball a few tis, and softly said, "You little thing, I don’t know if you can understand , but you are in tune with my intentions. I don’t know your origin, but for now, you can’t stay with . If we have the chance in the future, we’ll surely et again."
As she spoke, Gu Qiaoqiao extended her hand and handed the Ruyi Ball to San Qi, by which ti the Ruyi Ball was nestled in her hand, seemingly pondering over her words.
