Chapter 2102: Intertwined Time and Space, Lives Transformed (48)

Gu Junbai reached out and pushed open the door to the room, then closed it carefully.

The courtyard was spotlessly clean, and as it was already the end of March, for the Imperial Capital, spring was just around the corner.

However, during this season, the wind was biting, yet precisely because the wind had risen, the previously somewhat overcast sky now had its dark clouds gradually dispersing.

Sunlight pierced through the endless cloud layers, shining upon the eaves of the courtyard walls, as if countless rays of light were dancing and jumping, seeming as though one could reach out and capture these beams.

Gu Junbai remained motionless, his brows relaxed, hands behind his back, slightly lifting his head to gaze at the distant sky, the calamity for Qiaoqiao had finally passed.

It’s just that he didn’t know to what extent Qiaoqiao had cultivated; if the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation was practiced at a higher level, this world might not accommodate her, and he wasn’t sure if there would be any rejection toward Qiaoqiao.

But these were no longer his concerns, Qiaoqiao knew what to do, she would naturally be aware.

Gu Junbai’s lips curled slightly; though he had foreseen the outcome long ago, he still couldn’t help but worry somewhat, because they were his family, one mistake and the soul of the other would be extinguished, and not just in this life, but there would be no next life either.

Thus, deep down, it was impossible for him not to be concerned at all.

But now everything had passed, and from here on, it was back to their respective paths, each returning to their own normal life.

In time, some things would be gradually forgotten and eventually passed, and no one would mention them again.

Gu Junbai suddenly listened attentively, unexpectedly finding that Qin Yize had arrived with the two children so quickly.

It seemed he wanted to be the first to appear before Qiaoqiao upon her awakening.

Gu Junbai was also aware that Xiao Bao had been by Qin Yize’s side these days.

Xiao Bao this child…

Gu Junbai’s eyebrows furrowed slightly; for him, Xiao Bao was the greatest variable, yet was another unpredictable present, past, and future amid change.

That is to say, even with Xiao Bao’s Eyes of the Stars sealed, they still inadvertently leaked his mysteries, and even this little bit was enough for Xiao Bao to do some astonishing, unbelievable things.

Including the laboratory.

Fortunately, Qin Yize wasn’t resistant to these, and many were conducted right under Qin Yize’s nose.

Moreover, including himself, both deeply believed in one principle: it’s better to guide than to block.

Instead of finding various ways to seal his abilities, it was better to let him grasp them little by little, so that upon reaching adulthood, he’d naturally know how to utilize them.

And these Eyes of the Stars are indeed defying the heavens, moreover, it was only after Qin Yize entered the Tao through martial arts that he and Qiaoqiao had these two children.

For some reason, all the Gu Family’s bloodline, those mysterious inheritances, along with Qin Yize’s spiritual channels post martial arts, were all concentrated in Xiao Bao alone.

Xiao Bei had them too, but they weren’t obvious.

Of course, compared to ordinary children, Xiao Bei was also considered top class.

But Xiao Bao certainly defied the heavens.

No members of the Gu Family ever favored boys over girls; whether Gu Qiaoqiao was a boy or girl, as long as she had the Gu Family bloodline, she could be the Gu Family’s successor.

But for Gu Junbai, the supernatural abilities in Xiao Bao were better than those in Xiao Bei.

Since this world is ruled by rules and fairness, possessing these abilities means bearing a lot of responsibility.

And bearing these things means undertaking actions; actions bring consequences; even without these consequences, the backlash from these abilities would result in many more setbacks and challenges than others might face.

Even later, life wouldn’t be peaceful; from a selfish perspective, the spiritual power Xiao Bei possesses and the innate spiritual energy in her body is sufficient for her to touch the mystic sect world, yet not be burdened by it.

Most importantly, there’s no cause and effect, so Xiao Bei is the most relaxed and happiest one.

But Xiao Bao falls short slightly, unconsciously he has to bear many responsibilities.

The Eyes of the Stars are sealed, he cannot see the other world, yet he still dreams of it, and this time, because of the soul transformation between two individuals, Xiao Bao was the second to notice.

Later, he also played a role in Qin Yize’s experiments, unknowingly bearing his due responsibility.

Therefore, Gu Junbai no longer exerted himself to travel across Jiangnan and beyond to find materials to seal the Eyes of the Stars, for now, what they had was enough.

At this moment, Gu Junbai stood with his hands behind him; he wore only a white turtleneck sweater, without a scarf or gloves, not to mention a coat, yet he stood here content.

He seemed not to be standing in a season of lingering spring chill, but in the warm spring breeze.

And Qin Yize drove with Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei, running countless red lights for the first time; though outwardly calm, the grip on the steering wheel revealed his inner unease at this moment.

Xiao Bai and Big White lay quietly on the rear seat, in between them was Xiao Bei; the little girl had grown visibly thinner, her chin sharp, making her eyes appear even larger.

At this moment, Xiao Bei’s expression carried a trace of anxiety, something that had never appeared on this child before.

The two of them were already wiser than their peers, and, along with family and other special reasons, they not only grew taller but also matured much earlier; although no one had told her why, Xiao Bei knew her mother seemed sick, didn’t remember her anymore, each time mother saw her, she would smile with bent brows, but the last time she saw mother, she merely took a glance before turning away, as if she had completely forgotten her.

But now, father said he’d take her to see mother, and Xiao Bei, usually carefree, was now nervously clutching her collar, pondering if her mother had recovered and remembered her.

It had been a very, very long time since she’d seen her mother.

The little girl suddenly felt her hair was a bit messy, hurriedly stretched out her little hand to tidy her hair and smoothed her dress.

This dress was one her mother bought her, a pink woolen dress lined with lace.

She wore white little boots with laces tied with two white pom-poms.

Whenever she moved, the small pom-poms would roll back and forth, extremely cute.

The shoes fit perfectly, but when her mother bought this dress, she patted her little belly saying that if she didn’t have a belly, this dress would look even prettier on her.
