For Dongfang Yu, for example, he could absorb the Spiritual Energy inside, or at the very least, sell it for money. Although the gemstones here are not priceless treasures, they are quite valuable. However, he left without taking anything. So, it proves that Dongfang Yu couldn’t take the gemstones from here. Gu Qiaoqiao researched for several days and finally deduced that the Treasure Room has mechanisms and Spiritual Energy, which would automatically activate protective mode when encountering outsiders not aligned with the Gu Family’s aura. It could also be seen as an alternative self-protection method aside from the murals on the walls. This room would sink into the deep underground river, taking the intruder with it. That’s why Dongfang Yu dared not touch anything and just left. Although it’s speculation, Gu Qiaoqiao knows it’s probably quite accurate. That’s why she dared to confront Dongfang Yu . Dongfang Yu indeed didn’t make a move, staring at Gu Qiaoqiao for a moment; the girl seemed to have become steadier in the time they hadn’t met. Indeed, everyone is progressing. Only he, after so many years, seems to have been cast in a mold, unchanged. Dongfang Yu sighed inwardly. Of course, he couldn’t go inside here. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel(ꜰ)ire.net If he could absorb the Spiritual Energy from the gemstones, he wouldn’t have waited until today. At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came rushing from a distance. There were two people. One light, one heavy. It was Xiao Wen and Ling Nan arriving. Dongfang Yu ignited a Spirit Talisman, then tossed a slip of paper to Gu Qiaoqiao calmly, "Gu Qiaoqiao, this is my apartment’s phone number. Call me when you’ve decided..." After finishing, the Spirit Talisman turned into light and seeped into his body, followed by a gust of wind, and he disappeared. This time, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t see Dongfang Yu’s silhouette. And Xiao Wen and Ling Nan rushed over. Seeing that Gu Qiaoqiao was unharmed, their hearts settled down. Though Gu Qiaoqiao was mentally prepared, she was still shocked. It was Dongfang Yu’s form. The three of them indeed couldn’t see him. Then why did they see him just now? Although Gu Qiaoqiao’s senses were exceptionally sharp, she still fell short compared to Dongfang Yu. Could she see Dongfang Yu because he deliberately wanted her to? Before Gu Qiaoqiao could think it through, Xiao Wen had already hurriedly asked, "Qiaoqiao, was it Dongfang Yu?" "Did you confront him?" Xiao Wen asked, looking at the fire extinguisher in the study and the dry powder on the ground. Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, whispered, "Barely managed to hold off for a while..." Xiao Wen laughed, "Qiaoqiao, you’re already amazing; you’ve only been learning for a month." This is already an extraordinary existence. Xiao Wen admired her greatly. Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the two, thought for a moment, but still didn’t tell them Dongfang Yu’s condition just now. It’s not a matter of trust, but because there’s no need for too many people to know about this. At this moment, the Treasure Room behind the bookshelf had closed during Gu Qiaoqiao and Dongfang Yu’s fight earlier, since no one entered. "Let’s tidy up here first; we’ll talk tomorrow if there’s anything," Gu Qiaoqiao said, then went in to tidy up. Xiao Wen looked around the study and exchanged a glance with Ling Nan, then followed into the study. They knew this was an unusual place. But, they weren’t interested in knowing why it was unusual. The Gu Family is a centuries-old household; naturally, there are many secrets. The Old Patriarch and Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t possibly tell them every secretive matter.
