Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1158: The Clever Old Peach Tree

At this moment, Qiaoqiao suddenly heard a faint sound.

The tall tree crown began to tremble slightly, as if the ancient peach tree was aware of Qiaoqiao’s arrival. Then, Qiaoqiao felt something fall on her head...

This gave Qiaoqiao quite a scare.

Could it be a bug?

Startled, Qiaoqiao let out a "yelp" and jumped three steps away.

Qin Yize, who was following behind, didn’t know what had happened to Qiaoqiao but quickly stepped towards her, taking three steps in what seemed like two.

Then he bent down, picked up a piece of branch from the ground, looked at Qiaoqiao, and smiled faintly, "Qiaoqiao, this is a peach tree branch."

At this moment, the old clan leader was also among the crowd, and he naturally witnessed the scene just now.

He saw the old peach tree seem to be welcoming Qiaoqiao’s arrival, and then a branch fell on her head, which scared the girl.

The old clan leader had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Qiaoqiao calmed down and felt a bit embarrassed, giving the surrounding villagers an awkward smile, though she found it very amazing in her heart.

She took the peach tree branch and looked at it curiously.

The branch wasn’t thick, about as thick as her two thumbs and about half a meter long.

Moreover, the cut seemed to have naturally fallen off, but the leaves on it were indeed a vibrant green.

A thought arose in Qiaoqiao’s mind. Could it be that the old peach tree sensed her thoughts and intentionally gifted it to her?

Could it be that the old peach tree truly had spiritual sense?

At this time, the old clan leader walked up with a cane, glanced at the peach tree branch in Qiaoqiao’s hand, and without reaching out to take it, said with a smile, "Qiaoqiao, this should be a gift from the old peach tree to you. You should keep it well."

Ah, it really is a gift for herself!

Qiaoqiao’s eyes widened in surprise. What a stroke of luck to find what she searched for effortlessly.

An issue that had been troubling her was easily resolved like this. Qiaoqiao took the branch, raised her hands in front of the old peach tree, and made a formal bow, saying cheerfully, "Thank you for the gift, old peach tree." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Then she felt like the old peach tree’s leaves were rustled by a breeze, making a rustling sound.

As if responding to Qiaoqiao’s words.

The old clan leader nodded knowingly, seeming to affirm his suspicions and decisions.

That night, when Qiaoqiao returned, she placed the peach tree branch in the wooden box Zhang Yi gave her. To her amazement, it fit perfectly, as if custom-made. Qiaoqiao shook her head helplessly.

Xiao Wen beside her also found it quite miraculous.

Although she had seen a lot, it was in the past. After all, with the expansion of human activities, things with spiritual energy were becoming rarer.

And this Peach Blossom Valley was indeed unusual, as if the old peach tree had seen the box’s length in advance.

Undeniably, the old peach tree probably had gained spiritual sense.

Xiao Wen was eagerly anticipating the peaches of the next month.

However, in any case, this journey to the southwest had concluded successfully.

The tasks that needed to be done were completed, and those that shouldn’t have been done were also accomplished perfectly by Qiaoqiao.

She felt proud and delighted by this.

At this moment, Qiaoqiao felt an unprecedented sense of relief all over her body.

The knot in her heart was completely gone.

She wouldn’t be troubled anymore, nor dwell on past matters; her grievances were avenged, her concerns resolved, and quite a few gains were made this time as well.

So the group happily boarded the train heading for Jinling City.

Luh Fei, however, drove ahead to Jinling City.

Because the journey was long and some sections of the road were not in good condition, taking the train was more comfortable.

Besides, the jeep couldn’t accommodate that many people.

On an afternoon in June, they arrived in Jinling City.

Gu Muran, full of youthful confidence, led the group briskly towards his home.

He hadn’t expected such a rewarding outcome from this trip. Thankfully, he had gone; otherwise, he might have never met Qiaoqiao, and perhaps his great-grandfather would never have come to Jinling City in this lifetime, so Gu Muran was in excellent spirits.

Gu Muran’s home was in a residential area on the west side of Jinling City.

This area was on the very edge of Jinling City.

It was the kind of place that was half-city, half-suburb.

Many people lived here, naturally.

Most were ordinary workers, though there were now some small business people here, making it a lively place.

It was an area where old neighbors and acquaintances lived, so everyone knew each other well.

As they walked along, Qiaoqiao noticed that not many greeted Gu Muran, mostly young people.

It seemed that the Gu Family’s rapport with people here in Jinling City wasn’t very good.

They took a taxi to the alley entrance because the car couldn’t get through.

However, Gu Muran said it was just a few turns away from there.

As they turned into the third alley, an elderly lady came walking towards them, pausing for a moment upon seeing the group, for such people as Qiaoqiao and her companions were rarely seen here.

While in the provincial capital, Qiaoqiao had bought two sets of clothes for Gu Muran, as his clothes had been torn by the old clan leader and others, and besides, he had worn them for several years.

Currently, Gu Muran was wearing a checkered shirt and jeans. Qiaoqiao didn’t buy him bell-bottoms, but straight-legged ones.

Besides, bell-bottoms weren’t very fashionable this year.

With a new pair of leather shoes on his feet, the young man looked quite handsome, as graceful as ever.

Thus, Gu Muran, together with characters like Qin Yize and Qiaoqiao, didn’t seem out of place at all, which made the elderly lady glance at the group repeatedly. Just as Gu Muran was about to greet her, she was suddenly surprised, pointing at Gu Muran, asking, "Xiao Ran, are you from the Old Gu Family?"

Gu Muran nodded somewhat shyly, saying, "Grandma Zhou, it’s me, I am Gu Muran."

Grandma Zhou slapped her thigh, her face showing urgency, pointing in a direction behind her, saying, "Xiao Ran, I heard your great-grandpa from the Imperial Capital is here, and the Fang family also heard. They’ve been blocking your house’s entrance for two days..."

Gu Muran’s face darkened, and his heart skipped a beat. The Fang family had come?

The Fang family were ruthless in their actions, especially Old Master Fang, who often had a mentality of going down with the Gu Family.

So Gu Muran was quite wary of him.

He thought when his great-grandpa came, the Fang family wouldn’t dare to cause trouble, but he had forgotten about Old Master Fang’s madness far away in the southwest.

The old man had probably heard about the Gu Family’s affairs, so he returned home from the southwest.

And then came to create trouble for the Gu Family.

The Gu Family and the Fang Family were already mortal enemies, a feud that couldn’t be resolved.
