Chapter 2066: Chapter 2064: Intersecting Time and Space, Shifting Lives (12)
Gu Qingfeng shook his head, his voice hoarse and weak. "I can’t go rest. I’m afraid that once I lie down, I’ll never wake up again..."
Uncle Gu felt unbearably sad when he heard this. Choking up, he said, "Old Patriarch, please don’t say that. You’ll live to a hundred. You still have to find Young Master. Think about it, Young Master is already over sixty now, he must also have a house full of children and grandchildren. By then you’ll be Great Grandfather, that’s a big family all together, so you mustn’t have those kinds of thoughts..."
At that moment, Gu Qiaoqiao clenched her teeth tightly, a cold, razor‑sharp light bursting in her eyes.
A big family?
They’re dead. All dead. Only she is left here, dragging out a miserable existence!
Uncle Gu meant well, but it sounded like he was telling a colossal joke.
But Gu Qingfeng was clearly moved by these words. His cloudy eyes finally gained a faint gleam. He nodded with effort. "Yes, yes, I have to live well. I still haven’t found my son. He and his mother are together. All these years they must still hate me, maybe they’ve even forgotten me..."
Gu Qiaoqiao turned away, her eyes filled with pain and sorrow.
It had been a long time since she’d felt emotions like these. Ever since she was reborn, ever since she personally changed everything, her days had been happy and joyful. She wore a smile every day. It had been a very, very long time since she’d tasted pain and sorrow.
It was suffocating—heart‑rendingly suffocating!
The Old Patriarch was still dreaming his sweet dreams. His wife, Lady Yu, also Gu Qiaoqiao’s Great Grandma, had already ended her muddled, dazed life. She died never knowing who she really was.
Revenge—she would take revenge!
She would make the Gu Family’s enemies live a life worse than death!
Gu Qiaoqiao knew she had too many things to do. She no longer hesitated or delayed. With a casual flick of her hand, she drew two Sleeping Talismans, which turned into two streaks of flowing light that struck Gu Qingfeng and Uncle Gu respectively.
Gu Qingfeng was sitting in a wheelchair, so he simply closed his eyes and fell asleep leaning back in it, while Uncle Gu’s body started to topple backward. Gu Qiaoqiao reacted quickly, catching him and helping him sit down on the armchair beside them.
Then Gu Qiaoqiao began to move her index finger, sending streak after streak of luminous Spiritual Energy—visible to the naked eye—into the Old Patriarch’s body, repairing his damaged flesh bit by bit within the limits of what he could bear.
They were all one Gu Family, sharing the same bloodline, so this Spiritual Energy did not harm the Old Patriarch. But she couldn’t pour too much into him. One had to control this aspect, and Gu Qiaoqiao had long since become adept at it. She knew exactly what was best and most appropriate.
In this moment, the purest Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth was slowly repairing Gu Qingfeng’s body.
His aging organs were being nourished by the Spiritual Energy bit by bit. They couldn’t be restored to their prime, but at the very least, she could let him live another twenty years.
If that version of herself wanted to stay in this world, she would ultimately need family by her side.
Only, even she herself could no longer predict what her past self had thought.
Very soon, Gu Qiaoqiao finished with him, and then it was Uncle Gu’s turn. But Uncle Gu was not a Member of the Gu Family, so she had to be more careful with him.
Fortunately, Uncle Gu had a good foundation physically. These years, his health had only declined because he stayed with the Old Patriarch day and night, constantly anxious, which led to heart trouble and poor health. With a bit of Spiritual Energy to nourish him, he should slowly recover as well. Uncle Gu was the most loyal of the loyal, and so were his sons.
Time passed bit by bit.
After Gu Qiaoqiao finished all this, she slowly withdrew the Spiritual Energy from her fingers, feeling secretly relieved that her abilities had come along with her.
However, she also knew in her heart that even if her abilities hadn’t followed her, Qin Yize would still have helped her take revenge. It was just that, in the end, Gu Qingfeng had chosen mutual destruction.
In fact, in a certain sense, that wasn’t necessarily a bad option. It might have been the best way to handle things, the only way to grant himself release.
Originally everything should have ended like that. But she had come back. Since she was back, it proved that her life was meant to continue. She could no longer sit by and watch Gu Qingfeng choose mutual destruction again.
Although that method was very satisfying in terms of hatred, she had her own way.
Some things needed Qin Yize to step out and do, while it wasn’t suitable for her to appear.
Invisible, she would do what she could. As for the inside story of the Gu Family’s extermination, Qin Yize would have to personally tell Gu Qingfeng, because he already had a backup of it. But at this thought, a cold gleam flashed across Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes.
She had seen it clearly in the Reincarnation Mirror: without the manipulation of Mystic Sect people, Qin Yize’s car could never have had that kind of "accident."
If Qin Yize hadn’t been blessed with great fortune, he would have died after falling into the river. Even so, he had almost become a vegetable.
His body had suffered tremendous damage from that incident.
Obviously, the one who could help Lin Fanpeng could only be Dongfang Yu; it wouldn’t be anyone else, because for now only he had that kind of ability.
Mystic Sect people also absolutely existed in this world.
She’d only been ignorant before because she hadn’t belonged here. But now that she had come, Dongfang Yu—she would never let him go.
But she had to proceed quietly, without disrupting Qin Yize’s original plan.
Gu Qiaoqiao drew a Good Luck Talisman for each of the two men, then left without looking back.
She needed to go to the North Mountain Villa now.
That was where Ning Wanru lived. At this moment, Ning Wanru was by the lakeside, sitting under a parasol, drinking tea and enjoying the view.
Given her current abilities, Gu Qiaoqiao could have punished Ning Wanru from a distance. But that would not be as satisfying as facing her in person, so she chose to take a car to the North Mountain Villa.
By the time she reached the North Mountain Villa, it was already close to noon. Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t feel hungry at all.
Perhaps it was because she was too emotionally stifled, her heart and mind overflowing with hatred, so she naturally had no appetite whatsoever, she didn’t even want a sip of water.
But when she arrived at the gates of the North Mountain Villa District, her throat felt very uncomfortable. After all, this body was not the one she had later.
With a thought, Gu Qiaoqiao took out a glass of Spirit Spring Water from her space and drank it down, then put the cup back into her space. She did all of this very covertly; no one noticed a thing.
Just like before, Gu Qiaoqiao once more cast an Invisibility Charm on herself, then quickly walked toward the North Mountain Villa.
Because she was hidden, she passed easily through the security gate and entered the grounds.
Though it was autumn here, everything was lush and green, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, the lake sparkling with ripples. By the lakeside, a wealthy lady sat leisurely in a wicker chair, the parasol shielding her from the occasional sun. Her skin was fair, almost untouched by the marks of time.
This was the vicious woman who had destroyed everything of hers!
She had already taken revenge with her own hands, but she didn’t mind letting her die a second time!
