Gu Zhiqi stared at the lake water for a long ti, then asked Chubby Chiu, "Little chirp, is the energy you detected earlier under the lake water?"
Chubby Chiu imdiately responded, "Yes, yes, it’s under the lake water."
Just as she finished talking with Chubby Chiu, Tang Yichen’s voice sounded in her ear, "Hey? Gu Xiaoxi, where did this sword co from? Why haven’t I seen you use it before?"
"Did Third Brother give it to you?"
Tang Yichen’s attention had already shifted from the lake surface to the sword in Gu Zhiqi’s hand.
Gu Zhiqi casually replied, "I collected it earlier, forgot where it ca from."
The reason she hadn’t used it before is because the sword was stored in her Portable Space, which had only been activated recently.
As for the sword’s origin, she had forgotten.
She only rembered obtaining it long ago, but when and where it ca from, she couldn’t recall.
Because its forging technique was identical to Fu Xiyan’s Dragon Chant Sword, she suspected it might have co from Su Yunling, around the ti she was between ten and fifteen years old.
However, Su Yunling had ntioned before that he’d only crafted three swords.
And all three had definite destinations.
Therefore, she could only suspect but couldn’t confirm whether the sword in her hand was indeed crafted by Su Yunling.
Listening to Gu Zhiqi’s answer, Tang Yichen imdiately comnted, "I thought it was a keepsake from Third Brother."
After all, Gu Zhiqi hadn’t been seen using it before, and the sword did resemble sothing Third Brother might have crafted.
"Speaking of which, Gu Xiaoxi, what keepsake did Third Brother give you?"
Tang Yichen knew Gu Zhiqi had given Su Yunling a bouquet of Jade Carved Roses as a keepsake but was curious about what Su Yunling gave Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi: "A Plum Blossom Hairpin."
She had studied it; it was an intricately carved hairpin.
Two very powerful formations were engraved within it, one of which could withstand a blow from Ninth-order Ancient Martial Arts.
The other formation would transport her away if she were in danger.
Tang Yichen blinked, "Is it a white Plum Blossom Hairpin?"
Gu Zhiqi turned her head to glance at Tang Yichen, "Have you seen it?"
Tang Yichen paused for a mont, then nodded to Gu Zhiqi, "That hairpin is an heirloom left by Third Brother’s mother."
After speaking, Tang Yichen chuckled, "According to Aunt, it’s sothing Third Brother’s mother left for his future daughter-in-law."
Gu Zhiqi: ?
In comparison, the keepsake she gave seed a bit hasty.
She secretly thought about preparing a new keepsake for Su Yunling.
Unfortunately, she had lost one Leviathan’s Eye; otherwise, she could have given the blue one to Su the Beauty.
Regarding the keepsake, Gu Zhiqi didn’t ponder for too long. Instead, her gaze returned to the lake surface.
After staring at the lake for a while, Gu Zhiqi said to Tang Yichen, "I’ll go check under the water. You guys wait by the lake, and don’t get too close to the water."
"Ah? You’re going alone, I should accompany you..."
"Those two need your protection." Gu Zhiqi said this while pointing at Ling Zhiyu and Xu Changqing not far away, then continued looking at Tang Yichen, "Wait here, and call Big Black if there’s danger."
Tang Yichen had no choice but to agree, "Alright then."
"Just rember to be careful."
Gu Zhiqi nodded once, then jumped straight into the water.
Soon, Gu Zhiqi’s figure disappeared beneath the lake surface.
