The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 565 - 529: Mr. Gu, Calm Down!

"You even remember things like this." Qiao Yuxian said.

"Yes." Gu Yanjing replied.

Qiao Yuxian’s personality today is greatly influenced by Xi Wanqing’s teachings.

Willing to believe that everything is beautiful.

Sincerely treating those around her.

Yet not quite opening up to anyone.

Keeping a certain vigilance towards everyone.

Including Qin Xia.

Including Liu Zhou.

Including those from the Nine Emperor Hall

Including him.

She has the power to hold others’ lives in her hands.

But is also easily soft-hearted.

Actually, Gu Yanjing has also felt that sometimes it’s not that she’s soft-hearted.

It’s that she feels things should be done that way, so she lets them go.

Gu Yanjing even sometimes feels that every step Qiao Yuxian takes forward is as if she is walking the path of Xi Wanqing.

Or that she is following Xi Wanqing’s expectations.

"Sigh. Gu Yanjing, I realize I have no secrets in front of you." Qiao Yuxian leaned her head on his shoulder and said.

Gu Yanjing looked at her and, after a while, said, "You still have some."

"Hmm?" Qiao Yuxian made a slight sound.

"That night you went to kill Wuqi, I didn’t see it." Gu Yanjing said.

"But you soon saw through it." Qiao Yuxian said.

"And there are things you don’t want to say." Gu Yanjing said.

"I’ll tell you everything." Qiao Yuxian said, "Mr. Gu is so smart. Such a big help shouldn’t be wasted. My mind is too messy, I don’t know how to tell you."

Gu Yanjing touched her face.

"Especially now I don’t know who it is. There’s no clear target. I don’t know where to start." Qiao Yuxian said, "The participants of the events back then are no longer around. I don’t know why this matter is being brought up again."

"Is it related to the D Continent’s potion?" Gu Yanjing asked.

"Yes." Qiao Yuxian said, "Because back then my grandma’s power was too strong, they couldn’t beat her, so they used this method. At that time, a lot of people were hired from both D Continent and F Continent. The casualties were very heavy then."

"Those who used the potion experienced significant increases in strength and speed. My grandma’s people couldn’t match them and suffered casualties." Qiao Yuxian said, "Those who used the potion would also suffer casualties due to side effects after several injections."

"The matter was covered up." Gu Yanjing said.

"You investigated?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Yes." Gu Yanjing said.

Qiao Yuxian smiled a little: "Mr. Gu, you’re too honest. Aren’t you afraid I’ll be mad at you for investigating me?"

"You won’t." Gu Yanjing said.

"Why?" Qiao Yuxian asked curiously.

"When we got married, I investigated you. You weren’t mad." Gu Yanjing said.

"You’re testing my limits." Qiao Yuxian said with a smile.

Gu Yanjing kissed her on the temple.

"Alright. I’m indeed not mad. Because I often investigate people. So I don’t get mad when others investigate me." Qiao Yuxian said.

Gu Yanjing said, "It’s because those you don’t want to be found out, no one can find. Those who can be found out, it doesn’t matter."

Qiao Yuxian smiled again: "Husband, you understand me too well. What should I do? I really like you."

Gu Yanjing watched her speak while her hands were restless, unbuttoning his shirt at the abdomen.

Then her hand reached in, touching his abs.

Gu Yanjing held her hand: "Behave."

Qiao Yuxian smiled again and said, "Back then the issue was too big and had a bad influence. So when it was handled, it was handled very thoroughly. Anything that could be erased was erased. Anyone that could be silenced was silenced."

"My grandma..." Qiao Yuxian gestured with her hand, "She was too strong. Yao Mountain Island was all established by her. So the events back then had a huge impact."

Yao Mountain Island now has certain influence in each continent.

When someone mentions they’re from Yao Mountain Island, no matter who, they will give some respect.

Not to mention fifty or sixty years ago, at its peak.

"And..." Qiao Yuxian thought for a while, "This matter to my grandma, involved a falling out between siblings. She doesn’t want to hear it being brought up again. Like how the siblings were so good before, and then how they fell out, to the point of what kind of rift. So almost no one knows. Grandpa Gu is probably not clear either."

"Yes." Gu Yanjing said.

"If it wasn’t for someone showing up again." Qiao Yuxian said, "Maybe this matter would never have been brought up again."

"No suspects?" Gu Yanjing asked.

Qiao Yuxian shook her head: "It’s precisely because it was dealt with so thoroughly back then. There’s not even a suspect."

Gu Yanjing said nothing.

Qiao Yuxian said: "The person hiding behind should not be fully prepared yet. They don’t dare to act rashly. So they have been very cautious in their actions. On one hand developing their power, on the other hand occasionally sending people to test in front of me."

"Probably a long time ago, Gu Linhai made a deal with them. They helped Gu Linhai seize the Gu Family. Gu Linhai used the Gu Family to help them." Qiao Yuxian said, "But they didn’t expect me to suddenly marry you. So this matter is a bit difficult for them. After all, now we’re tied together, dealing with two families is much harder than dealing with one."

Gu Yanjing agreed with her thoughts, after a while asked, "Why do they want the Peace Pendant?"

Qiao Yuxian raised her left wrist, "Because it is equivalent to a key to wealth and power."

"What’s special about it?" Gu Yanjing asked again.

He had observed it.

A very ordinary Cinnabar Peace Pendant.

There’s nothing special about it.

"There’s nothing special about it." Qiao Yuxian said, "The one I’m wearing is a fake."

The look in Gu Yanjing’s eyes stunned slightly: "......"

"If I wear the real one, what if it gets snatched away? That would be trouble." Qiao Yuxian said.

"The real one has something special?" Gu Yanjing asked.

Qiao Yuxian removed the Peace Pendant, showing it to Gu Yanjing, "The real one, the side facing the wrist has a pattern. Apart from the patterned side, it’s almost identical to this one. Even the black spot here is the same."

Gu Yanjing looked at her.

His heart couldn’t help but feel a bit cheerful.

He actually didn’t care much about what this thing really looked like.

He wanted to know whether Qiao Yuxian would tell him.

If she really trusted him.

"Even though it’s fake, when I first put it on, I used to tell myself every day. It’s real, it’s the most important." Qiao Yuxian said, "This self-suggestion worked well. I really started thinking it’s real, even others couldn’t touch it."

"Yes." Gu Yanjing had experienced that even a slight touch was not allowed.

Qiao Yuxian continued: "Only then will they think I’m wearing the real one."

Gu Yanjing said: "Another reason is that you resemble Grandma Xi a lot. One look and it’s clear you’re her biological granddaughter, which adds fifty percent credibility."

Qiao Yuxian smiled and reattached the Peace Pendant.

Gu Yanjing said: "Telling me all this, aren’t you afraid I’ll betray you?"

Qiao Yuxian sat up straight looking at him.

Gu Yanjing also looked at her.

After a moment, Qiao Yuxian said: "Not afraid. Because you don’t know where the real one is either."

Gu Yanjing looked at her fox-like cunning eyes.

"Mr. Gu, want to know?" Qiao Yuxian wrapped her arms around his neck, looking at him, "With severe coercion, maybe I’ll tell. But... would Mr. Gu bear to do that?"

Gu Yanjing looked into her eyes.

Clear and bright, yet captivating.

He directly picked her up, walking towards the car, his voice still coldly saying: "In another way, I would."

"Ah?" Qiao Yuxian was bewildered, and after realizing what he said, hurriedly said, "No, Mr. Gu, calm down! Calm down! I wasn’t talking about this. I was seriously talking to you about the matter. How did it end up like this? Gu Yanjing! Calm down!"

Judging from Mr. Gu’s pace as he walked rapidly towards the car, it seems Mr. Gu couldn’t calm down...
