The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 605 - 569

Gu Linhai’s family reunion banquet was scheduled for November 8th.

Two days early, Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian traveled from D Continent to Jin City.

They kept their whereabouts concealed.

They went directly to a hotel owned by the Chu Family in Jin City.

Last time they stayed in Jin City, they were watched.

They came secretly this time, so they avoided the apartment there.

They arrived at the hotel in the morning, and by noon the next day Lin Huai Shu, Chu Zhengran, Qin Xia, along with Lu Mengyi and Lu Muyao gradually arrived at the hotel.

After lunch, the group went to Gu Yanjing’s room for a brief meeting.

They exchanged the information they each had.

All the arrangements were confirmed once again.

The group sat on the sofa, Shang Chen and Wan Ying had no place to sit, so they tossed two pillows on the floor and sat on them.

Qiao Yuxian squeezed next to Gu Yanjing, fighting off sleep as she listened to everyone talking.

Wan Ying said, "I’ve already made arrangements on my side. I’ll take action when the family reunion banquet officially starts. The second madam will cooperate secretly."

Qiao Yuxian nodded, slowly closing her eyes that she had been struggling to keep open.

Lin Huai Shu said, "I’ve also coordinated on my end. I won’t go into the reunion banquet, Old Chu will contact me. The media arrangements are also in place."

Qiao Yuxian nodded with her eyes closed.

Lu Mengyi and Qin Xia noticed her nodding unconsciously.

"I won’t go in either," Qin Xia said. "I’ll stay with Lin Huai Shu."

There are many media at the reunion banquet, and if she shows up, it might create an online buzz.

She came to see if there’s any place she might be needed.

If she’s not needed, she won’t show up.

Gu Yanjing touched Qiao Yuxian’s face.

Qiao Yuxian nodded again, showing no intention of opening her eyes.

"I’ll be outside supporting Wan Ying," Lu Mengyi said. "Mu Yao will attend the reunion banquet."

"Hmm," Lu Muyao responded.

Qiao Yuxian moved Gu Yanjing’s hand away and forced her eyes open to look at Lu Muyao.

Lu Muyao was also looking at her.

Their eyes met, and Lu Muyao quickly averted his gaze in panic.

Qiao Yuxian squinted, then closed her eyes again. The cheeky kid hasn’t spoken to her during all their days in D Continent.

"That should be about it," Chu Zhengran said. "Once the reunion banquet starts, all continents will take action."

Qiao Yuxian nodded, and suddenly dropped her head heavily.

Gu Yanjing quickly supported her chin. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Qiao Yuxian suddenly woke up, her eyes wide open, saying, "Hmm, okay."

Everyone looked at her.

Qin Xia said, "I’ve been wanting to say, if you’re so sleepy, why sit here?"

"I’m listening," Qiao Yuxian replied.

"I don’t believe it," Qin Xia said.

Lu Mengyi chuckled.

Qiao Yuxian said, "I’m really listening!"

Her tone was very firm, but because she was drowsy, it lacked conviction.

"Then tell me, what did Chu Zhengran just say?" Qin Xia immediately quizzed her.

"He said it’s almost done," Qiao Yuxian replied.

Qin Xia: "......" She was actually listening.

Qiao Yuxian raised her eyebrows slightly, looking a bit weary.

"Did you stay up watching rats dig holes last night? You’re so tired," Qin Xia continued.

Qiao Yuxian opened her mouth to retort, but no words came out before she closed it again.

If she had watched rats dig holes, she wouldn’t be this tired.

She’s not tired; she’s drained.

Gu Yanjing might have been holding back a bit too much.

He behaved in D Continent.

As soon as they checked into the hotel yesterday, he went crazy.

Too crazy.

Too terrifying.

She felt that it couldn’t continue like this; they needed to spread out the frequency more evenly.

Concentrating it all in one day isn’t good.

Even after sleeping for half a day in the morning, she couldn’t recover.

She didn’t say anything. Everyone understood immediately.

Some people just weren’t behaving humanly at night.

Then everyone instinctively looked at Gu Yanjing.

The others remained calm. Calm with a hint of mild reproach in their eyes.

Only Lu Muyao’s pupils narrowed, with a chaotic mix of emotions in his eyes. Frightened and complex.

Gu Yanjing felt the stares and looked up. Everyone except Lu Muyao quickly averted their gaze, even holding their breath.

Gu Yanjing looked at Lu Muyao.

Lu Muyao blankly held his gaze for two seconds, then lowered his eyes, lightly pressing his lips together.

Gu Yanjing glanced at him again, then turned his head to look at Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian said, "You all talk, don’t mind me."

Gu Yanjing looked at her without speaking.

He had suggested she rest in the room.

She insisted on coming to listen, afraid of missing any crucial procedure, worried about making mistakes later.

"Stop feeling self-important; who cares about you?" Qin Xia said.

"You’ll definitely care about me," Qiao Yuxian replied.

Qin Xia mimicked Qiao Yuxian’s tired expression, earning a piercing glare from Qiao Yuxian.

Lu Mengyi laughed as she watched the two of them.

"Childish," Lin Huai Shu commented on their behavior, then added, "I heard the reunion banquet invited all the prominent figures in Jin City."

"Do you think the person who helped him that night in Jin City will be there?" Chu Zhengran asked.

"But with so many people, what can we discern?" Lin Huai Shu said.

"We’ll know once we see tomorrow," Gu Yanjing said.

Lin Huai Shu nodded, "Tomorrow is going to be a tough battle."

"Everyone should be careful tomorrow, if a fight breaks out, try not to harm the innocent," Gu Yanjing said.

"Hmm," everyone responded in unison.

Qiao Yuxian also nodded with her eyes closed.

After chatting for a while longer, they returned to their respective rooms.

Qiao Yuxian went straight to her room to sleep.

She fell asleep as soon as she lay on the bed.

Gu Yanjing bent down to kiss her once, then went to the living room to handle some work.

Qiao Yuxian slept soundly till nine in the evening, finally well-rested.

After waking up, she went to the dining table to eat.

Gu Yanjing had been waiting to eat with her.

But halfway through the meal, Old Sir Gu called.

The old man didn’t have any significant matters; he just couldn’t sleep and wanted to chat with him.

Gu Yanjing gestured to Qiao Yuxian that it was fine and, not wanting to disturb her meal, got up to take the call in the living room.

Qiao Yuxian looked at his back, then while eating, she picked up her phone to check it.

The internet was buzzing now.

The top searches were all about the Jin City family reunion banquet.

It’s happening tomorrow night.

People from other places have already started arriving.

Currently, the hottest topic of discussion online is whether Gu Yanjing will appear.

Firstly, because Gu Yanjing represents the Kyoto Gu Family’s stance. Was he coming to acknowledge his cousin, disrupt the event, or ignore it altogether?

Secondly, because Gu Yanjing hasn’t appeared since his disappearance incident.

It’s as if he really vanished.

The Gu Group continues to operate normally. From top to bottom, nothing has gone wrong.

But Gu Yanjing hasn’t shown up at the company.

And besides one online response, there has been no further update.

Whether he appears this time could clear up the mystery for everyone.

Aside from this, the most-discussed topic is:

Who is the person Gu Linhai wants to acknowledge?

Where did this child come from?

What will happen at this family reunion banquet that’s aroused curiosity for months?

Why are so many people invited, making it such a grand affair?

Almost all prominent figures from various places have been invited.

A lot of media outlets were also invited.

Is this to ensure that news about their family will flood the internet after the reunion?

Qiao Yuxian was flipping through the news.

The trending topics were all about the family reunion banquet in Jin City.

The event was scheduled for the next evening.

People outside the area had already started arriving.

The biggest speculation online was if Gu Yanjing would appear at the event.

His appearance would signal the Kyoto Gu Family’s stance — whether they were there to acknowledge their cousin or disrupt the event.

Since his disappearance, he genuinely seemed to have vanished.

The Gu Group continued functioning normally. From top to bottom, everything seemed calm.

There had been no activity on social media either, outside of that one brief comment.

His attendance would clear up a lot of mysteries.

Besides that, people were curious about who Gu Linhai wanted to acknowledge at this much-anticipated reunion.

Why invite so many people and so much media?

They wanted the internet flooded with news about their family after the reunion.

As Qiao Yuxian was scrolling, there was a knock on the door...
