Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 1964: Chapter 1962: Gu Qiaoqiao’s Reminder

"I’m guessing Nie Luan also won’t take the initiative to provoke you right now." Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated for a moment, then still spoke softly.

Dongfang Yu hooked up the corner of his mouth. "He can’t hide from me fast enough right now, he definitely won’t come to provoke me."

As strange as it sounded, the reality was that right now, a full one-third of Dongfang Yu’s bloodline was flowing inside Nie Luan’s body.

It was a very bizarre, indescribable phenomenon, and the relationship between the two of them was equally hard to put into words.

So for Nie Luan, if it wasn’t that Dongfang Yu wanted to take back his bloodline, he probably wouldn’t go and mess with Dongfang Yu.

So what Gu Qiaoqiao needed to remind Dongfang Yu of was, "You’re about to start your own family, and you already have your own career. Whatever you do, think more for Shang Qing’s sake."

That was all she would say. After all, the relationship between the two of them was just so-so. Even though there was a debt of life-saving grace between them, everything had started because of Shang Qing.

Including what Gu Qiaoqiao said today, it was also because of Shang Qing.

Dongfang Yu of course understood this, but he was still very grateful. "Thank you for telling me all this today. Don’t worry, I know what I should do."

If he hadn’t deliberately gone to investigate, when it came to a secret department like that, it would’ve been impossible for him to know whether it was shut down or still operating.

Just then Shang Qing, all happy, came walking out from the mall again with another bag in her hand, and Dongfang Yu hurried over to meet her, taking the things from her hands. One of them tilted her head up slightly, the other lowered his head slightly, talking in soft voices. Just one look and you could tell how deeply in love they were.

There was a smile at the corner of Gu Qiaoqiao’s lips; she had nothing but blessings for them.

Three days later, Old Patriarch Gu called Gu Qiaoqiao to tell her to go over to Qiaoze Ranch—Gu Junbai had come back.

Once Gu Qiaoqiao got the news, she immediately drove straight toward Qiaoze Ranch at top speed. It was ten in the morning.

The drive went very smoothly, road conditions were good, and the heavy snow hadn’t blocked the road.

After all, this road led to another bustling city, and the nearby villages and towns were getting more and more prosperous. But the stretch that led to Qiaoze Ranch was sparsely populated, because Gu Qiaoqiao had set up a Barrier there. She didn’t want anyone wandering in. There was no one guarding the place, but there were lots of things in the house.

Fortunately, with the Barrier Gu Qiaoqiao had arranged now, apart from Gu Junbai, no one else could break it, including Ling Nan. Without the trace of Spiritual Energy Gu Junbai had given him, he wouldn’t be able to get in either.

Clearly the two of them had come back yesterday, because the heavy snow on the road had already been swept completely clean by the industrious Ling Nan. So Gu Qiaoqiao’s drive in was very smooth. She had originally thought she would leave the car in Wangbei Town and walk to Qiaoze Ranch. That way she’d get there around noon.

Even though Gu Qiaoqiao knew what her little uncle was capable of, she still couldn’t help worrying about the two of them. They’d been out of contact for a long time. So when she saw her little uncle standing there in the snow, and Ling Nan, who had caught a pile of wild rabbits, her heart finally completely settled down.

She had also used her Divine Sense at the first moment to check the two of them. Ling Nan was perfectly fine, and her little uncle’s aura was still a mass of chaos, the same as before, something she couldn’t see through.

But that aura was familiar and intimate to Gu Qiaoqiao. After all, their Spiritual Energy originated from the same source.

Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao come over, Ling Nan hurriedly opened the garage. It was winter, after all; in the North you couldn’t leave the car outside.

The temperature in the garage was just right. Gu Qiaoqiao parked the car inside. Her little uncle was still standing outside, looking at her with a broad smile. Gu Qiaoqiao felt the rims of her eyes heat up, took a deep breath, and said, "Little Uncle, thank you—both you and Ling Nan."

Gu Junbai waved his hand, unconcerned. "We’re all family. Qiaoqiao, don’t be so polite."

Ling Nan grinned beside them. "Qiaoqiao, my cooking has improved a lot again. I’ll make charcoal-grilled rabbit for you at lunch today."

Gu Qiaoqiao had actually never eaten that before, but it sounded delicious as soon as she heard it. "Then thank you, Xiao Nan."

According to the original plan, at this point Ling Nan should either have gone to the Special Preparation Team or to the school that the Old Patriarch had arranged for him.

But ever since Gu Junbai appeared, Ling Nan had been with him. Their relationship—calling it master and disciple—wasn’t as accurate as calling it father and son.

And Gu Qiaoqiao also knew that many of the things Gu Junbai was teaching Ling Nan were things that couldn’t be learned in school.

What’s more, Ling Nan’s path was destined to be different from others. Following her little uncle was the best choice Ling Nan would make in this life.

Ling Nan carried the cleaned wild rabbits into the kitchen, while Gu Junbai turned and gestured for Gu Qiaoqiao to follow him into the house.

Gu Junbai went straight to the study, with Gu Qiaoqiao following behind. She saw Gu Junbai take a box from the bookshelf in the bookcase. It was made of Red Sandalwood, so what was inside had to be what he’d found for Xiao Bao. Gu Qiaoqiao was very curious and couldn’t help asking, "Little Uncle, what exactly did you find?"

Gu Junbai smiled and opened the box, and at a glance Gu Qiaoqiao saw a black-gold bead about the size of a pigeon egg lying inside.

They were standing in front of the window; sunlight streamed through and cast a faint dark-golden halo over it, making it look distant and mysterious. Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t sense the aura on it at all—she only felt that it was very powerful, so powerful that it felt like a layer of water-like distortion appeared in the air around it.

And she didn’t dare look at it too closely. It was as if if she stared a moment longer, she would be sucked into the bead.

Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help stepping back two paces. She looked up at Gu Junbai in surprise. "Little Uncle, what is this bead? Its aura is really strong, I’ve never seen anything like it before."

"This is a Mirage Bead from the Deep Sea World."

"Mirage Bead?"

Gu Qiaoqiao carefully searched through her Heritage, then suddenly widened her eyes in astonishment. "This is that legendary Mirage Bead? The one that naturally sets up and breaks space and Formations?"

Gu Junbai looked at Gu Qiaoqiao with satisfaction. "Not bad. You should have already awakened your Soul Heritage, so there are some things you’ll naturally know now. Yes, this is a Mirage Bead. It has natural spatial and Formation functions, and it’s also the best thing to suppress Xiao Bao’s eyes."

"So we have him wear this bead?"

Gu Junbai shook his head. "Keeping it on his body isn’t ideal—it might get lost, or other accidents could happen. I’ll refine it, then you inject your Spiritual Energy into it, and in the end we’ll grind it into powder for Xiao Bao to take."

Before Gu Qiaoqiao could voice her worries, Gu Junbai continued, "Don’t worry. This is a true treasure of heaven and earth, a rare medicinal material. From ancient times to now many mighty cultivators have risked their lives searching for it. They just use it in different ways, that’s all. With your pure Spiritual Energy, and my refining, it won’t cause the slightest harm to Xiao Bao."
