Ouyang Wensheng’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and the veins on his forehead throbbed faintly.
It seed as though he was about to erupt in the next mont.
Gu Qiaoqiao still looked at him indifferently.
Suddenly, Ouyang Wensheng chuckled, seemingly resigned, and said, "Indeed, heroes co from the youth, skillful and brave. Straightforward people don’t speak in riddles, earlier I calculated carefully, your husband seems to have more complex issues than just being injured."
"Oh?" Gu Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow, responding unimpressed, "How did you know he was injured?"
It seed the confidentiality was well maintained; actually, Qin Yize wasn’t injured, but the official statent was such, even soone like Ouyang Wensheng was kept in the dark.
"I have my ways."
Ouyang Wensheng certainly wouldn’t disclose how he knew to Gu Qiaoqiao. He continued, "The injuries he sustained shouldn’t be that severe, what’s serious is, the unique aura of Qin Yize is gone, or perhaps his soul has an issue."
Gu Qiaoqiao was stunned, she hadn’t expected Ouyang Wensheng to actually figure it out.
This man really is lingering like a persistent ghost.
Everything has cause and effect, if he hadn’t coveted the Gu Family’s belongings, how would his daughter be hurt?
He doesn’t rush back to save his daughter now, but lingers here, which is truly annoying.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression was calm, hiding all her emotions deep within her heart, so much so that even Ouyang Wensheng couldn’t see them. She faintly responded, "Even if that’s the case, what’s it to you?"
Without waiting for Ouyang Wensheng to speak, Gu Qiaoqiao’s gaze turned sharp, and she articulated clearly, "Moreover, I must seriously warn you, don’t ss around or I won’t hesitate to go down with the ship."
Ouyang Wensheng frowned, always threatening to go down with the ship, why is this little girl so extre?
When he was younger, he cherished life greatly, never had such thoughts. Battling enemies was a matter of fighting if capable, and fleeing if not.
Life is hard-earned, reaching his level of cultivation is heaven’s favor, what reason is there not to cherish it?
So Ouyang Wensheng no longer played gas with Gu Qiaoqiao, but directly said, "You know, I possess the ancestral artifact, the Ruyi Ball. Now that your husband is in this state, I imagine you’ve tried many solutions with no results. Why not try the Ruyi Ball?"
"Ruyi Ball?" Gu Qiaoqiao was montarily puzzled, murmuring to herself.
She hadn’t considered that, the Ruyi Ball’s capabilities seed comparable to the Mysterious Dragon Box.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s mind stirred, she calmly asked, "What condition is required?"
Ouyang Wensheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Gu Qiaoqiao was willing to discuss terms, there would be no issue, so he promptly proposed, "I’ll lend you the Ruyi Ball, you cure my daughter’s illness."
They say ailnts of the heart need redies of the heart.
Ouyang Wensheng lingered here without returning to the island, knowing the solution needs the remover. If the daughter’s illness required twenty or thirty years of recuperation, even if healed, her body would be ruined.
Moreover, her domineering personality wouldn’t fully heed his wishes.
Likely to follow appearances while contradicting inwardly, worsening over ti.
Thus the best approach was letting Gu Qiaoqiao completely cure her daughter’s illness. As for the Ruyi Ball, Gu Qiaoqiao had already witnessed its power, he didn’t mind letting Gu Qiaoqiao make use of it.
Gu Qiaoqiao pondered briefly, firmly responded, "Send the Ruyi Ball and your daughter over, I’m unable to leave now."
"Then where should I find you at that ti?"
"If unexpected events don’t occur, I’ll remain in the Imperial Capital."
"What if you have other ans?"
Ouyang Wensheng knew Gu Qiaoqiao would exhaust every option to save Qin Yize.
He worried if he struggled to bring his daughter and the Ruyi Ball to the Central Plains, Gu Qiaoqiao might have left, rendering his efforts futile.
"I’ll leave contact information, you can find Zhang Yi at Yubao Square."
"Alright, deal."
Ouyang Wensheng agreed to Gu Qiaoqiao’s terms, feeling at ease, knowing Gu Qiaoqiao is trustworthy. At this mont he felt rather good, as the little girl’s husband had t misfortune, it was retribution in a way.
Thus, feeling quite cheerful, Ouyang Wensheng unexpectedly remarked, "I won’t interfere with Sky Sea City’s matters anymore, but I can tell you, the incident with the Gu Family in Jinling City is Old Thief He’s doing, I haven’t paid attention to who he enlisted."
Gu Qiaoqiao was stunned, Old Thief He, it was really him!
Then it was He Shan who acted.
He Shan couldn’t have accomplished this alone.
There must have been accomplices.
But Gu Qiaoqiao also knew Old Thief He wielded significant power, when his influence could be wholly eradicated from the land of Huaxia, her Gu Family would finally be at peace.
But how to devise a plan to restrain Old Thief He?
Old Thief He always desired the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map.
Maybe using the map could lure the old man, then end it all.
But these were matters for the future.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t wish to speak further, promptly said, "Alright, that’s it then."
After speaking, she headed towards the hospital entrance.
Ouyang Wensheng glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao’s back, then hurriedly turned to walk in the opposite direction.
Once again, the place returned to its previous stillness.
Returning to the ward, Gu Qiaoqiao checked inside and outside once more, then lay on the companion bed opposite Qin Yize. Though this was a suite with a lounge, Gu Qiaoqiao felt uneasy, especially at night, when spirits are most rampant, she couldn’t afford to be careless.
Gu Qiaoqiao pressed her fingers against her temple, took a deep breath, then exhaled softly, eventually closing her eyes slowly; tomorrow there’s a hard battle to fight, hopefully, she can assist Qin Yize in completing this task.
Finally, Gu Qiaoqiao fell asleep...
At the sa ti.
Endless void, endless darkness.
No sky, no earth, and no flowing ti.
It seems everything froze at a certain mont.
Qin Yize didn’t know how long he had been trapped here. He couldn’t sense his body, aware this might be his consciousness, drifting in so dark space.
All his thoughts were clear, he recalled everything that had happened to him.
Initially, his heart was desolate and sorrowful.
He wasn’t afraid to die.
Yet he feared never seeing Qiaoqiao again.
Also worried that Qiaoqiao would cry over his passing.
Concerned about leaving Qiaoqiao alone to face unknown years.
He knew Qiaoqiao’s feelings for him, which was his deepest despair and pain.
If the love wasn’t so profound, maybe as ti passed, she’d gradually forget him, but now, Qiaoqiao wouldn’t forget him.
