Chapter 2101: Chapter 2099: Intertwined Time and Space, Transformed Lives (47)

Then, Gu Qiaoqiao saw another scene; it was Gu Garden. It was still winter, but the snow on the eaves was slightly melting. Apparently, based on the time, it was already March.

Then Gu Qiaoqiao saw herself in the living room of her room.

On the other side near the wall, there was a desk with over a dozen jade carvings, each lifelike and exquisitely crafted. Those were her works, and only she could achieve such excellence. She is she; her skills are equally superb in any world.

Standing next to her was her younger uncle. The two of them were standing in the room, their gazes surprisingly directed towards her.

Although they were looking in her direction, at this moment Gu Qiaoqiao knew that none of the four people, including her younger uncle, could see this world.

But she could sense it, perhaps because she had already practiced the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation to the fifth level.

At this moment, Qin Yize also couldn’t help but stand up, looking somewhat nervously at Gu Qiaoqiao, because the current Gu Qiaoqiao was very strange. Though she hadn’t changed, no matter how one looked at her, she was still that Qiaoqiao, yet something was definitely off.

Therefore, Qin Yize’s sharp gaze was tightly locked onto Gu Qiaoqiao, ignoring everything else. Then, the Old Patriarch belatedly realized that something seemed off in the room. Despite having gone through heart-stopping events just now, like the Gu Family Ancestor—who knew how many years he had lived, but certainly older than even his Great Grandfather—now it was Qiaoqiao’s anomaly. The old man got up slowly, leaning on his cane.

Only Gu Junbai remained steadily seated on the sofa, looking at Gu Qiaoqiao, and suddenly spoke softly, “Qiaoqiao, don’t worry, everything will be okay.”

Gu Qiaoqiao turned to look at Gu Junbai. Then she glanced at her Great Grandfather, gave him a smile, and finally focused her gaze on Qin Yize.

It must be said that sometimes human intuition is terrifying, especially for someone like Qin Yize. At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao had reason to believe that Qin Yize must know something.

So his gaze was very complicated, but deep within his eyes, there was an unexplainable anticipation.

Perhaps, everything was ultimately different; otherwise, why would she and that other she have to exchange places?

Gu Qiaoqiao wanted to say something, but before she could utter a word, she felt the scene before her freeze into a picture. Then, flashes of white light passed before her eyes, like threads sweeping across her vision. In the blink of an eye, Gu Qiaoqiao closed her eyes and her body fell backward without warning.

Qin Yize, who had been watching her and was the nearest, caught Gu Qiaoqiao immediately.

Before he could check on her, he heard Gu Junbai gently say, “Ah Ze, carry Qiaoqiao to the bedroom. She’s fine, she’ll wake up soon.”

Qin Yize took a deep look at his younger uncle.

This suddenly appearing ancestor of the Gu Family was also the one who made him realize that this world was not what it seemed, just like Gu Junbai had said earlier.

Suddenly, a smile emerged on his lips, a smile he hadn’t shown in years. He gently held Gu Qiaoqiao and quickly carried her to her bedroom, carefully placing her on the bed.

He didn’t leave, but sat on a chair not far away, his heart in turmoil. Yet nothing could rival the longing for Qiaoqiao to open her eyes to a new world.

At the same time, Qin Yize finally activated the device. Countless lights danced across the nine metal spheres, and then suddenly, they were covered in a bright glow, like nine suns. In a flash, the light intensified, and Qin Yize picked up his son and covered his eyes.

He knew he succeeded; this time, he personally brought his Qiaoqiao back.

Meanwhile, in the Gu Garden courtyard, Gu Qiaoqiao had learned the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation. Undeniably, both Qiaoqiaos had extraordinary comprehension and top-tier talent. Her younger uncle felt like he couldn’t match up, yet felt very proud because she was his successor, the bloodline of the Gu Family. The current Qiaoqiao had not only learned the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation, but other talismans as well, mastering their use. Although the Spiritual Energy in her fingers wasn’t as strong as that other Qiaoqiao’s, it wasn’t much less.

The only shortcoming was she had only mastered the first level, but given time, Qiaoqiao would surely be as excellent as that Qiaoqiao.

The sky over the Imperial Capital wasn’t clear, filled with clouds. It was already early spring, yet the cold early spring wind was blowing fiercely through the courtyard.

Compared to a month ago, Gu Qiaoqiao seemed transformed, with confidence showing between her brows, and eyes bright like stars.

She was no longer the sad, hopeless, and dead-like figure she once was. Instead, she seemed reborn, full of life and radiance.

Seeing this Qiaoqiao, Gu Junbai turned around and was pleased. He pondered for just a moment and then said, “Qiaoqiao, live well…”

He didn’t say anything more.

Because there was no need, this Qiaoqiao understood what he meant. Indeed, Gu Qiaoqiao’s brow furrowed slightly but then relaxed, showing a genuine smile to her younger uncle. Her voice was choked with emotion, and her eyes were moist, “Thank you, Uncle, I will live well.”

Then, a series of white lights flashed before Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes. She even seemed to see nine suns flashing in the sky. Though surprised, it all vanished in the blink of an eye. Then she was plunged into darkness, her body softly slumping onto the sofa behind her.

Gu Junbai hadn’t expected it all to happen so quickly. He had known what Qin Yize was doing but hadn’t thought he would actually succeed.

All he did was offer a little bit of insight and inscribe the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation on him.

Gu Junbai thought, Qin Yize would soon be coming to Gu Garden.

He was probably already on his way.

Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao slumped on the sofa, realizing her position was uncomfortable, he flicked a finger, and she lay down completely on the sofa with her head resting on a soft cushion.

She was lying on her side, her brows relaxed, even with a hint of a smile on her lips. Surely, when she awoke, everything would return to how it was.
