I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 617 - 595: Outsiders, Get Out!_3

Qiao Qingyu appropriately exhibited shock.

On the phone, Wu Hong’s voice was somewhat complex as he said, "You probably can’t even imagine that the pile of stones... those inexplicably existing stones in the basement, they were actually brought there by our old ancestor himself."

"How could that be possible?" Qiao Qingyu appropriately expressed her disbelief.

"Ah, it’s a long story and not easily explained, but the old ancestor also mentioned that initially, right outside his door was a landscape of icy tundra, and he didn’t know where it was. Anyway, there were mountains and forests, and it was heavily snowing, so he just casually threw a stone out there."

Qiao Qingyu, "...What do you mean by that?"

"I’m also confused and at a loss now. Who knows where that stone ended up, or maybe it still hasn’t been discovered by anyone."

After a few more sentences, the call ended.

But after hanging up the phone, Wu Hong felt that what the old ancestor said was correct. Look, after he had told Qiao Qingyu about this matter, that very same night, the old ancestor returned.

And from leaving Xichuan to getting home, it took only a little over an hour.

Despite being very tired, he was still very excited. After all, this proved that there indeed was another world beyond our own.

It’s just that the other world was too small, not a place where people could live.

It was very likely akin to what the old ancestor narrated about the ring space of a cultivator.

He excitedly ran to find the Zhang Family’s old ancestor again, and at that time, the most important members of the family surrounded him, listening to the excited elder describe his extraordinary adventure.

Of course, the old ancestor himself was very pleased.

Although he did not go to the Immortal Realm, he realized their perseverance was justified, and what was amusing was that the stone turned out to be one he had mined himself.

One might say, fate in this world indeed has its cycles.

So, it came full circle and returned to the same point.

Qiao Qingyu and He Xiuyu went to work together, laughing about this incident on their way, but He Xiuyu analyzed that the stone might very well have ended up with the Yuan Family.

Otherwise, there was no good explanation for the stone Yuan Hengzhi wore.

...

After the winter, the Agricultural Group’s base was not as busy as it during the spring and autumn, but the breeding base and the greenhouses were still bustling.

The office at Pingliang Dam had been withdrawn, so Liu Ying came back.

Her work was impeccable, so she was reassigned to logistics according to her position as an office director.

Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

She was genuinely worried she wouldn’t be able to return.

This time, she became much more cautious and dared not bring up Zhou Pengcheng and He Xuerong again.

Meanwhile, she genuinely resented her situation deep down. It was truly a case of ’a fallen tiger being bullied by dogs’; if it had been the old her, who would dare to treat her like this?

Liu Ying harbored these resentful thoughts deep in her heart.

Especially when she saw those she once looked down upon having a better life than her, it made her feel quite unbalanced.

After this incident, He Xiuyu also realized that the Space Device was not safe.

What if one day they were inside the Space Device and others inexplicably barged in? What would they do then?

However, Qiao Qingyu was the master of the Space Device and had absolute control here. Currently, it seemed unlikely that such a scenario would occur.

Nevertheless, He Xiuyu accelerated his research efforts.

Only when they completely uncovered the secrets of the Space Device would it truly become Qiao Qingyu’s own.

Otherwise, it was still very dangerous.

...

As winter departed and spring arrived, years passed.

He Xuerong, who was about to take the college entrance examination this year, walked down the street with her brother, Chaoxuan, and Li Mingguang, who were also in school.

Li Mingguang, now nearly 1.8 meters tall, glanced sideways at He Xuerong.

In recent years, aside from night study sessions, he seldom did homework with Rongrong.

Because they lived far apart, there were fewer chances for them to walk home together.

Furthermore, He Xuerong always had someone pick her up after night study.

But that was no matter.

Li Mingguang wouldn’t fuss over such trivialities.

Yet, Rongrong remained uncertain about which university she wanted to apply to, merely saying she needed to think it over.

He planned to attend the same university as Rongrong.

For that goal, he had been working hard, even harder than others.

"Rongrong, still undecided?"

Li Mingguang asked He Xuerong.

He Xuerong looked up at Li Mingguang and responded with a question, "Where do you want to go?"

Li Mingguang answered naturally, "I’ll go anywhere you go."

He Xuerong frowned, "Don’t you have any thoughts of your own?"

Li Mingguang looked at He Xuerong, somewhat puzzled as to why she would say that...
