Gu Qiaoqiao did not return ho, but instead knocked on the door of the Ouyang family. When San Qi saw that it was Gu Qiaoqiao, he was unexpectedly delighted. However, after seeing Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression, he swallowed back his greeting and hurriedly led her into the house without saying a word.
Naturally, Ouyang Wensheng also hadn’t slept all night, while the perpetually weary Ouyang Rong was sleeping drowsily.
Gu Qiaoqiao returned the Ruyi Ball to Ouyang Wensheng, took a deep look at the ball, then shifted her gaze away. She then walked to the bedside of Ouyang Rong, not shying away from Ouyang Wensheng. At this mont, Gu Qiaoqiao gave off a very strange vibe.
What kind of feeling was it? Ouyang Wensheng pondered as he looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, feeling sowhat apprehensive.
This girl seed even more somber than when she was in Sky Sea City.
It seed as though she didn’t care about anything anymore.
No need to ask, the Ruyi Ball surely didn’t work.
So, should he be thankful that Gu Qiaoqiao kept her promise?
Though these thoughts swirled in his mind, it was rare to see an expert in action. Ouyang Wensheng watched Gu Qiaoqiao’s movents intently, trying to discern sothing.
Unfortunately, Gu Qiaoqiao rely waved her hand casually a few tis, then stopped, raising her head to look at Ouyang Wensheng. She glanced around the room with a voice that was calm and without any emotion, yet chilling, "You should take her away from here today. I don’t want to see you living next door, it makes uneasy. If I still see you here tomorrow, I can’t guarantee that I won’t do sothing..."
After speaking, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t spare Ouyang Wensheng a second glance and turned to walk out of the house.
Ouyang Wensheng’s expression changed, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes, just as he was about to speak, Ouyang Rong on the bed unexpectedly woke up.
"Dad!" A soft call escaped from Ouyang Rong’s mouth, surprisingly different from her usual feeble manner.
Ouyang Wensheng stopped in his tracks, looked at his daughter in surprise and then in shock.
It seed within the blink of an eye, the death qi surrounding his daughter had vanished without a trace.
Ouyang Rong had returned to normal.
At this mont, she had sat up and was looking at him with so confusion.
Her perpetually pale face was already beginning to regain its color...
In the afternoon, Ouyang Wensheng indeed left with his daughter.
San Qi was left to handle the aftermath, and a sign was put up at the door indicating the house was urgently for sale.
Gu Qiaoqiao listened to Second Brother Ren’s report and thought to herself that Ouyang Wensheng wouldn’t dare show up for a while.
Because Lin Qinghuan had been captured, along with one of Old Thief He’s competent henchn, and another one nad Luo Er was also caught.
This ti, Lin Qinghuan couldn’t escape even with wings.
Moreover, her ntal state wouldn’t give her the opportunity.
Unable to concentrate, she had confessed everything.
The follow-up matters were beyond Gu Qiaoqiao’s jurisdiction, but she no longer cared because she couldn’t wait any longer.
She went to the secret room in Yubao Square and took the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map to Qin Yize’s hospital room.
Unlike usual, Ling Nan was also in the room.
He had just returned from Jinling City.
At the mont, he stood by the door, while Xiao Wen stood in front of Gu Qiaoqiao holding the painting.
At this mont, Gu Qiaoqiao kneeled beside Qin Yize, tightly holding his hand with her left hand, while her right hand clenched and unclenched, her expression shifting from complex to ultimately resolved.
Xiao Wen’s expression was also different from usual. This ti Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know where she would take Qin Yize, but it was the only way.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked up at Xiao Wen and said in a low voice, "Sister Xiao Wen, if I haven’t returned by dawn tomorrow, tell the family that I took Ah Ze to see the doctor."
"Okay, I promise you." Xiao Wen nodded heavily, then closed her eyes in silent contemplation for a mont, and then said, "Qiaoqiao, you will co back..."
Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at Ling Nan, who understood Qiaoqiao’s aning. "Don’t worry, Sister Qiaoqiao, I will stay here until you return."
Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated no longer, her hand lightly sketched a few tis in the air, fully concentrating the spiritual energy on her finger. Then she extended her right index finger towards a mountain peak on the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map that Xiao Wen was holding.
When her finger gently pressed onto that mountain peak, Gu Qiaoqiao was stunned to find it fit perfectly, and in the next mont, the mountain peak seed to ripple like waves of water.
Then, the ripples quickly spread through the air. Xiao Wen felt as if a trendous surge of spiritual energy was rampaging in the room, invisible but like waves rising from the sea.
The water-like ripples soon enveloped Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize. Under the unwavering gaze of Xiao Wen and Ling Nan, Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly vanished into thin air.
The bed still retained the warmth, everything seed like a dream.
And the painting in Xiao Wen’s hands also disappeared along with Gu Qiaoqiao.
Staring blankly at the now empty hospital bed, Xiao Wen tightly clenched and unclenched her empty hand. This scene was unprecedented, and despite her shock, her worry only deepened.
She had just comforted Gu Qiaoqiao, but her greater fear was that Gu Qiaoqiao might never return.
Ling Nan shared the sa concern.
At this mont, Gu Qiaoqiao felt as if the world had changed in the blink of an eye.
Her hand was still interlocked with Qin Yize’s fingers.
Before her eyes lay a completely different world.
Qin Yize lay on the grass, while she continued kneeling beside him.
Gu Qiaoqiao knew she had entered the world within the painting. She hurriedly and frantically looked around.
Then she froze.
The scene was so familiar.
Right in front of her was a green adow, with a large boulder in the center. The boulder seed to have soil on top, where a green plant grew, crowned with a flower.
This ti she was far away, but now she was very close, and could see a bowl-sized flower blooming on top, its color red like flas.
In the distance, lush green undulating mountains stretched far into the horizon.
At the foot of the mountain, green trees were thick, and flowers blood vibrantly.
On the edge of the grassland was a crescent-shaped lake.
As if the moon from the sky had fallen upon this grassland.
Not far away was a three-story wooden building, its shape ancient and elegant, its heaviness exuding an immortal air like an imaginary land of joy and plenty.
And in the distant forests ca the occasional calls of birds and roars of animals.
Gu Qiaoqiao knew where she had arrived; this was the place she had ventured into the consciousness when she first activated the Mysterious Dragon Box and t the Gu Family Ancestor, who taught her the Sky-drawing Talisman.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart surged with a wild joy.
She never imagined the world within the painting would be the place she had once visited in her consciousness.
