Chapter 1601: Yuling Inside the Purple Jade
Once everything settled down, Gu Qiaoqiao studied the Purple Jade Pendant left by Du Tian’s mother. At the time it was received, there was some chaos on site, so Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t look closely. It wasn’t until Du Tian asked her to help identify whether the jewelry were the original items that Gu Qiaoqiao noticed that this Purple Jade Pendant indeed contained Yuling.
In other words, this pendant was spirited.
It had nothing to do with the engraver.
It could only be said that due to reasons during the cutting process, this piece was discarded from the main jade stone and treated as scrap material. But who would have thought that this discarded piece actually contained the most Spiritual Energy.
Even though the energy seemed a bit weaker after being polished by the years, it was still unmatched by other jade stones.
One must admit, Du Tian’s grandma’s luck back then was truly extraordinary.
Unfortunately, it fell into the hands of Lih Tianci midway.
However, fortunately, it returned after many twists and turns.
If Du Tian’s mother had worn the pendant daily back then, instead of keeping it in a sandalwood jewelry box for play, she might have been in good health. Although she might not have lived to a hundred, she wouldn’t have passed away early.
Perhaps this is fate.
Gu Qiaoqiao quietly removed the malevolent energy that Lih Tianci had attached to the pendant and asked Du Tian to have his baby wear it, ensuring a lifetime of safety.
This pendant with Yuling was nearly identical to Gu Qiaoqiao’s Amulet.
So, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t give another Amulet but instead crafted a heavy gold lock for the child.
This made Shang Qing and others laugh for half a day.
During this time, Chang Qing quietly worked and studied while preparing her graduation thesis. Gu Qiaoqiao put the wooden bead bracelet away, and for the time being, pushed this matter to the back of her mind.
As for Ying Xue’s case, it didn’t stir much in the school, thanks to the confidentiality work being well done. Everyone only knew that the non-performing and colluding Director Wang had been completely dismissed, and replacing him was an upright retired soldier with a record of military merit. From then on, the campus atmosphere quickly turned around...
Plain days actually go by swiftly, and before you know it, it’s July. Qianqian and Xiao Yu have only three days left until the college entrance exam.
And on this particular morning, Gu Qiaoqiao received a phone call from the Gu Family Ancestor.
It must be said, the Gu Family Ancestor truly keeps up with the times. After reclaiming his treasures, he traveled with Xiao Bai and Ling Nan through neighboring countries.
It’s said that wherever he goes, people would respectfully receive him. No one knows how the Gu Family Ancestor achieves this.
And as they journeyed, they ended up in a country, which happened to be where Qin Sisi currently resides—Eagle Country.
An incident occurred there, and he hoped Gu Qiaoqiao could come over personally.
He was waiting for her in Eagle Country.
The specific details were to be discussed in person, as it was inconvenient over the phone. However, the Gu Family Ancestor mentioned the Blue and White Three-legged Cauldron.
Gu Qiaoqiao put down the phone and looked at Qin Yize, who was about to go to work but happened to hear the call. After a moment, she softly said, "Ah Ze, with the ancestor there, nothing will happen."
Qin Yize remained silent but thought that since the Gu Family Ancestor always acted prudently, the decision to have Gu Qiaoqiao go out this time was well-calculated. Perhaps it was fate’s arrangement. Even though he had a hundred reasons to oppose Qiaoqiao’s departure, when the situation arrived, he couldn’t hinder her.
Qiaoqiao wasn’t his possession. He worried for her safety, but he couldn’t obstruct her journey.
Just as the Gu Family Ancestor said, sometimes one must follow destiny’s arrangements.
Moreover, with the Gu Family Ancestor present, there truly was no cause for concern.
He finally nodded slowly, "Okay, you can go."
Gu Qiaoqiao was about to continue persuading Qin Yize but was surprised when he agreed. Delighted, she lunged forward and hugged him tightly, lifting her little face with a radiant smile, cheerfully saying, "Ah Ze, I knew you’re the best. Don’t worry, with the ancestor, nothing will happen."
Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao so happy, Qin Yize felt an indescribable feeling. He remained still, looking down at his beloved little wife, and softly said, "Qiaoqiao, you’re that happy?"
Gu Qiaoqiao, not noticing his mood, nodded enthusiastically, "Mm-hmm, going out to play is of course exciting."
Qin Yize finally reached out and held her, replying dully, "But you’re leaving me at home alone."
The dull tone carried a hint of grievance.
Only then did Gu Qiaoqiao notice that Qin Yize seemed a bit off.
It’s true, they had limited time together as a couple, and now she was going abroad, this trip might last over half a month or even a month. So Qin Yize felt somewhat restless. If it weren’t inconvenient for him to go abroad, he would undoubtedly accompany her.
After all, he had grown accustomed to having a sweet little wife in his arms at night, so with Qiaoqiao gone, the only thing welcoming him home after work was bound to be emptiness.
This made it hard for Qin Yize to be in a joyful mood.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s clear eyes shifted slightly, and she tilted her head, planting a kiss on Qin Yize’s lips. Still unable to hide her joy, she said, "I’ll be back soon, don’t worry. Now go to work, I’ll call Great Grandfather to prepare for the trip to Eagle Country. Once everything is set, and Qianqian and Xiao Yu finish their exams..."
Gu Qiaoqiao excitedly planned.
Qin Yize touched his wife’s face, little by little letting go of the reluctance, "Alright, I’ll go to work. You call Great Grandfather, he’ll surely be very happy."
"Okay, I’ll call him now."
Saying so, Gu Qiaoqiao quickly loosened her grip around Qin Yize’s waist, turned around, and called Old Grand Master Qin.
Qin Yize naturally knew that although Old Grand Master Qin didn’t say it out loud, he did hope Qiaoqiao would accompany him to Eagle Country to visit his daughter.
So this was undoubtedly great news for the Old Grand Master.
Moreover, even if he didn’t know the true identity of the Gu Family Ancestor, Old Grand Master Qin knew that the young man he had met only once held the highest status in the Gu Family.
This was the wisdom of an elder, to see through without pointing out.
So on that end, Old Grand Master Qin was also cheerfully arranging things.
It was as if his voice had even become a few years younger.
Qin Yize walked out the front door, looking at Gu Qiaoqiao calling Gu Garden, and his heart still held some melancholy. Married for several years, his outings with Qiaoqiao were rare.
He owed Qiaoqiao too much.
He only hoped, in future days, he could repay her one by one.
In the blink of an eye, Qianqian and Xiao Yu finished their exams.
The two girls coming out of the exam halls looked at ease but were equally exhausted.
Though their studies were excellent, performance on the day was also crucial.
