Chapter 1906: Chapter 1904: Third Floor
Sima Xiaowen thought for a moment and shook her head, "The reason she hasn’t acted until now is that this piece of Divine Land can’t be entered without the Clan Leader activating it personally."
Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly understood, so that’s how it is. Indeed, like Elder Sima, who kept thinking about the Divine Land before Chu Chengfeng’s awakening, but never went in. This must be the reason, and it’s also why they were so happy when they found the Clan Leader, right?
So Liu Ruye must have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time too.
"Even if she didn’t hurt anyone, she almost destroyed this place," Sima Xiaowen said angrily.
"It’s okay. As long as the land is still here, the house will be rebuilt quickly."
"I don’t know how Chengfeng and the others are discussing this. I always feel uneasy about this place. Look at Ah Ze, he can easily get in here without anyone leading the way, so this place isn’t exactly impregnable."
"Sister Xiao Wen, I think it’s best to buy this mountain through legitimate procedures and turn it into private property, so entering and exiting won’t be so troublesome in the future."
"Chengfeng and I have thought about it too. You know, when I was young, people didn’t inhabit a radius of a thousand miles around here. But now, more people are living at the foot of the mountain, and many go up the mountain for tours and adventures. I think this will happen more and more. Even though there’s miasma here, people are getting stronger. Didn’t Ah Ze have pills that restrain the miasma?"
"Yes, buying it is the best option. No need to build roads, the elders might not like cars driving up here, but at least going up and down the mountain will be much easier for you."
"The elders aren’t so outdated. They’re keeping up with the times, especially those who’ve returned from abroad. Don’t worry, they’ll figure it out soon."
At this time, the meal was ready. There was a dining room in the wooden building. After Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei washed their hands, everyone happily began to eat dinner.
The kitchen already had food boxes prepared. Before the meal, the dishes were served, but only for Qin Yize separately.
Even though Chu Chengfeng and Elder Sima reserved some for them, there were still other Phoenix Clan members, so they simply set aside some for Qin Yize alone. After the meal, Gu Qiaoqiao checked the time; it was already past nine at night. She left Sima Xiaowen to tidy up the kitchen and took the two kids upstairs to the third floor.
This wooden building is large, three stories in total, with the first floor serving as the study and living room.
The second and third floors are bedrooms and rest areas.
Gu Junbai used to live on the second floor.
The third floor had always been unoccupied.
The third floor has three rooms, each with a rustic yet precious wooden bed. The furniture in the rooms is rustic and elegant, preserved well over time.
However, Gu Qiaoqiao had added some modern items.
Perhaps being prepared is indeed wise.
The three bedrooms have three large beds, and Gu Qiaoqiao custom-ordered three mattresses from a furniture market.
So now, by placing blankets on top, the two babies can rest comfortably.
The wooden floor was spotless. Xiao Bao raised his face and asked curiously, "Mom, why do we need to sleep during the day?"
Gu Qiaoqiao laid the blankets neatly, placed two pillows side by side, and then smiled at Xiao Bao standing beside her, "It’s a nap, Xiao Bao. Rest well, and when you wake up, you and your sister can play on the grass. There’s a shrubbery by the grass with delicious berries. Your Aunt Xiao Wen will take you there then."
"Mom, will you be leaving? What about Dad? Where did he go?" Xiao Bao continued to ask.
"Mom has something to do outside and will be back with Dad soon."
Gu Qiaoqiao felt a bit of a headache, but she couldn’t tell the children the truth yet because it’s hard to explain. Even if the little one is very talented, cramming too much into his mind unexpectedly might be overwhelming for him.
Some things need to be introduced gradually.
Then Gu Qiaoqiao put on her motherly demeanor, put on a stern face, "No more questions, quickly go to sleep with your sister."
Gu Qiaoqiao rarely put on a stern face, but when she suddenly did, Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei were a bit scared, so they obediently lay on the blanket.
The White Wolf lay beside them, appearing to like this place very much, with half-closed, glowing green eyes in a very content manner.
Gu Qiaoqiao no longer coaxed the two children to sleep patiently as usual. She had things to do, and with the child asking again and again, she didn’t know how to answer, so she subtly moved her fingers, quietly sending Spiritual Energy onto the foreheads of the two babies, and then lay down beside them, gently patting them. Soon the two children fell asleep.
This place is like a world inside a painting; there’s no need to set up a Barrier, so Gu Qiaoqiao glanced around the room, pulled the curtains, patted the White Wolf’s head, and whispered a few words before going downstairs.
Xiao Bai had no interest in the Phoenix Clan disagreements, so after Gu Qiaoqiao exchanged a few words with it, she carried the food box and left.
Outside, the night was deeper, the dark sky as black as spilled ink, while the Divine Land Hall was still brilliantly lit. However, the noise had diminished, indicating the internal trial was almost over.
Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao come out, Qin Yize moved his brows slightly, looked at the food box in Qiaoqiao’s hand, and smiled.
Gu Qiaoqiao put down the food box, then noticed there was some food and a pot of hot water next to Qin Yize. After asking, she found out that Chu Chengfeng had been by.
After Qin Yize finished his dinner and tidied up the things, Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the brightly lit hall and quietly asked, "What did Chu Chengfeng say to you just now?"
"He told me about his stepmother."
As expected, Liu Ruye didn’t die back then. Coincidentally, she obtained a book about space conversion, comprehended it, and developed the magic. However, she almost went mad during cultivation and got trapped in a space for many years. Now she’s just emerged, and when she was out, the Barrier of the Divine Land Hall was still intact, which she couldn’t break. What follows is pretty much as Gu Qiaoqiao speculated.
As for how to deal with this old woman, Gu Qiaoqiao wasn’t interested, but she was somewhat worried as she said, "Look at how much of a mess this place is now. What do the elders think?"
"They plan to buy this whole forest."
This way, it can become the Phoenix Clan’s true private territory.
Even if the ownership only takes decades, it’s enough for now for the Phoenix Clan to reside.
