Cliff Village is about more than seven hundred miles from Ling Nan’s hometown. Before going, some preparation work needs to be done. Although in this lifetime, that fool, the fool’s mother, and the other villagers wouldn’t be able to do anything to her anymore, it doesn’t mean they won’t do it to others in the future. Sometimes, fighting violence with violence might be a shortcut. Of course, Qin Yize cannot know about this for now. He would never agree to her going. And she couldn’t tell others the truth either. She could only use the excuse of going to Ling Nan’s hometown, Peach Blossom Valley, to see peach blossoms. I believe no one would argue against this reason. Then, when the time comes, act according to the situation. After all, the exact location of Cliff Village can only be known once they arrive locally. Because it’s not on the map. However, it’s impossible to leave for now because in two days, Chang Qing is coming to the Imperial Capital. He is coming to attend a college invention and innovation seminar. Of course, he won a big prize. So, Gu Qiaoqiao is waiting for Chang Qing. The Chang Qing she hasn’t seen in a long time. Dongfang Yu really didn’t expect Gu Qiaoqiao and the Gu Family to reject his proposal. Three gold mines, already extremely valuable. Compared to jade and gemstones, gold is clearly more valuable. Whether in times of chaos or peace, it’s not only easy to preserve but also to circulate. Gemstones aren’t the same. Delicate and fragile, not easy to preserve. How can it be as convenient as gold? Even when burned by fire, gold remains unharmed. Therefore, psychologically, Dongfang Yu prefers gold. And gemstones, to him, only serve the purpose of absorbing the Spiritual Energy within them, nothing else. So, in order to impress Gu Qiaoqiao, he changed his usual style and offered his most beloved three gold mines in exchange. Of course, being able to exchange things instead of taking by force is because now and the past are truly incomparable. He has to admit this reality. The things he wants to do, if not legitimate, are basically impossible to accomplish. Especially since there’s Elder Nie’s supervision, and Gu Qiaoqiao has also become much stronger. He naturally won’t confront head-on anymore. For more chapters visit novel⚑fire.net Moreover, it’s not yet the final moment, so after much consideration, Dongfang Yu held back. And three days later, Gu Qiaoqiao received Chang Qing at the station. Chang Qing is still the same as before. Still smiling in the eyes, and his height seems to have grown a bit, but this height is just fine. He must be around six feet tall. Standing in the crowd, he was immediately noticeable. Wearing a semi-old wool coat, as it’s about ten degrees colder at his hometown compared to here, Chang Qing came in a wool coat. While Gu Qiaoqiao had long changed into light spring clothes. A few classmates and teachers came together with Chang Qing. Gu Qiaoqiao also smiled and invited them, Gu Garden is big enough, even bringing ten or eight more people wouldn’t be an issue. So, Gu Qiaoqiao was sincere. The leading teacher was a very serious person, perhaps all who do academic research are like that. He not only refused Gu Qiaoqiao’s suggestion, but also prohibited Chang Qing from going out casually during the conference. So, although Gu Qiaoqiao received Chang Qing, they only had a few words exchanged, and afterward, the leading teacher politely said a few words to Gu Qiaoqiao and then took the students on a big bus of the host school and left. Gu Qiaoqiao knew she could only wait for the conference to be over before she could take Chang Qing out to play. To the places Chang Qing wanted to go in past lifetimes but she didn’t. Not being able to bring him to Gu Garden, Gu Qiaoqiao was a bit disappointed, but it’s not too late to pick him up again after the conference ends.
