Chapter 1948 - 1946: The First Spiritual Body She Saw Was Lin Qinghuan
Chapter 1948: Chapter 1946: The First Spiritual Body She Saw Was Lin Qinghuan
Seeing that Gu Qiaoqiao had finally come down, Second Aunt Qin pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but was firmly tugged by Second Uncle Qin beside her, who then glared at her, indicating she shouldn’t speak carelessly.
In truth, Second Aunt Qin was not happy, holding it in until now, just because Old Master Qin was sitting beside them. Now seeing Gu Qiaoqiao finally coming down, she snorted coldly in her heart, thinking she would sleep until the next morning.
However, this wasn’t her own home; it was the Qin Family’s Courtyard. She didn’t have the nerve to challenge the authority of Old Grand Master Qin.
And Liu Qiqi, who was unaware of the situation, was also unhappy. Human nature is cold and thin; you can tell when things happen. After all, Gu Qiaoqiao was not her biological child, so she actually went back to her room to sleep, making her feel quite uncomfortable.
Of course, whether Gu Qiaoqiao was actually asleep was just her speculation, because since returning to the courtyard with Qin Yize and the others, no one had mentioned Gu Qiaoqiao.
They only talked about Dongdong, but as the lady of the house, Qiaoqiao hadn’t appeared, which certainly made Liu Qiqi unhappy. Especially during this special period, her emotions had nowhere to vent and piled onto Gu Qiaoqiao.
Thus, when Gu Qiaoqiao stood in the hall, she could feel the malice emanating from Second Aunt Qin and Liu Qiqi. Fortunately, their malice was not significant; it was barely noticeable unless carefully sensed, especially with Old Grand Master Qin presiding over the room.
Second Aunt Qin and Liu Qiqi did not notice that at the moment Qiaoqiao appeared, Old Grand Master Qin’s eyes brightened.
Old Master Qin thought to himself that Qiaoqiao must have gone to do something.
Qiaoqiao is a kind-hearted child. She could have kept her abilities secret, as long as she didn’t reveal them. But for the health and well-being of her family, she unconsciously exposed a lot in front of her relatives.
Fortunately, they were all close family members, who all thought about protecting Gu Qiaoqiao. So, including Second Uncle Qin, they really didn’t know what Gu Qiaoqiao’s abilities were. They only vaguely sensed something but weren’t sure.
Besides, they hadn’t felt any mystical power from it, so naturally, they didn’t believe it. But this is mutually reinforcing; if you don’t believe, then naturally you won’t feel mystical power.
So Old Grand Master Qin didn’t mention Qin Yize not coming downstairs for such a long time. With him there, if he didn’t bring it up, Second Uncle Qin and Second Aunt Qin naturally wouldn’t mention it to Qiaoqiao.
Especially considering the time spent talking and eating, they hadn’t sat on the sofa for long before Qin Yize and the others returned.
But even with the malice, it didn’t last long. At this moment, Liu Qiqi’s eyes were swollen from crying, and Second Aunt Qin didn’t have the time to dwell on Gu Qiaoqiao hiding upstairs for so long.
She was guilty and uneasy, in pain and self-reproach, and the same sentiment was felt by Second Uncle Qin. Meanwhile, Qin Yishan was disoriented, but at this moment, his eyes lit up because he saw his older brother coming downstairs.
At this moment, Qin Yize had become his mainstay, but sometimes one must admit, that as those involved, they certainly wouldn’t remain calm and rational.
Right now, Qin Yishan was just like that.
The time was close to eleven o’clock, and the longer the delay, the more dangerous it was for Dongdong.
Qin Yize spoke decisively and directly, without any explanation, "You all stay here and rest, Qiaoqiao and I are heading out."
"Big brother, should I go with you?" Qin Yishan seemed to sense something and hurriedly asked.
"No need, Yishan, you stay here to take care of Great Grandfather and Second Uncle and Second Aunt."
Qin Yize refused.
Gu Qiaoqiao might have some way, but Qin Yishan certainly wasn’t suitable to be there.
Old Grand Master Qin spoke at the right time, "Since Ah Ze and Qiaoqiao have things to do outside, don’t interfere with them."
Second Uncle Qin and Second Aunt Qin glanced at each other and said nothing. Liu Qiqi kept her head down, her mind in a whirl, her eyes fixated on the phone in her hand, hoping for a miracle, hoping someone would call and say the child had been found. So at this moment, she also had no time to pay attention to what her big brother and sister-in-law were going out to do.
Outside the house, Gu Qiaoqiao stood in front of the building, drawing a Sky-drawing Talisman in midair. There was no need to arrange a Barrier Talisman. Her current Barrier Talisman had an effective duration of about a year when directed at an object. Sometimes she would set up a Barrier Talisman for peace of mind, but now she needed to set up three Evil Expelling Talismans around the house.
To be able to abduct a child, it must have been the work of something sinister. The kind-hearted in the Mystic Sect would never do such things. Even Dongfang Yu, who initially viewed human life with indifference, never did such things, so Gu Qiaoqiao set up a few Demon Subduing Charms as well.
Then Qin Yize took her hand to leave, and they drove slowly away from the Qin Family’s Courtyard.
Gu Qiaoqiao never imagined that after mastering the second level of the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation, she could communicate with all things, including spiritual bodies. But she never expected that the first spiritual body she would see would be Lin Qinghuan.
At the moment she saw Lin Qinghuan, Gu Qiaoqiao was indeed shocked, because when their car was about five hundred meters away from the Qin Family’s Courtyard, she saw Lin Qinghuan standing on the opposite street, looking distantly toward the courtyard.
The second level of the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation is naturally quite different from the first.
With this spell inscribed, as soon as that golden light is imprinted on her forehead, she is constantly in the state of the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation being activated.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know how long it could last, but from the time she drew the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation until she saw Lin Qinghuan, about two minutes had passed.
She knew Lin Qinghuan had long been dead, but what she didn’t expect was that after death, Lin Qinghuan had condensed into a spiritual body and lingered outside her door, hovering quite far away, obviously wary of the Barrier she had set at the Qin Family’s Courtyard.
But it was plenty horrifying enough.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Gu Qiaoqiao instinctively placed a hand on Qin Yize, but then realizing he was driving, she quickly withdrew it.
She looked back and saw Lin Qinghuan following them from more than five hundred meters away.
Just as when she was alive, when she looked at Qin Yize, her eyes were still filled with affection, even if Qin Yize had said the most heartless words to her in this world, which she seemed to have selectively forgotten. But when she looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, the resentment in her eyes could be clearly felt even from hundreds of meters away.
Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but feel anxious, it was her first time experiencing such a thing, but looking at Ah Ze sitting beside her, observing his composed, resolute, and handsome profile, her heart calmed down.
A phrase inexplicably surfaced in her heart, indeed, some won’t let go even in death.
