Gu Qingling held the branch and stared at Pan Fengying in fear.
Guagua was hurt by the fall, and she ran to Gu Qingling aggrievedly and hugged her leg.
"Gu Qingling——"
Pan Fengying is a spoiled child, where has she ever suffered such a loss?
Her angry and pretty face was ferocious, and the jade belt tied around her waist slowly swam, like a poisonous snake, and landed in her palm.
"Aunt!"
Gu Cangyin stood in front of Gu Qingling.
Gu Yunye also hurried over and said in a cold voice: "What are you doing with the magic weapon? You were the one who made us Qingling anxious in the first place!"
"You! You!" She looked at Gu Sheng with hatred: "Brother, these are your good sons!"
Gu Sheng's expression suddenly changed, and she stared at the branch in her hand.
He asked in a low voice: "Where did you get this thing?"
Gu Qingling: "I picked this up in Qingmengze."
"Picked it up?"
Gu Sheng no longer cared about the iron-eating beast at this moment. He quickly stepped forward and snatched the branch from Gu Qingling's hand, his palms trembling slightly.
"You all get out." He suddenly said, his face extremely serious.
Pan Fengying was stunned for a moment, still a little dissatisfied: "Brother——"
"Get out!"
Gu Sheng shouted.
Seeing that he was really angry, Gu Cangyin narrowed his eyes slightly, touched Gu Qingling's head, stood up and left.
Soon, only Gu Qingling and Gu Sheng were left in the room.
"Qing Ling, tell me the truth." Gu Sheng squatted down and looked at her with dark eyes: "Where did this branch come from? Don't lie!"
Gu Qingling was frightened by his serious tone.
She was a little scared, but she still held the branch in her hand tightly.
"I picked it up."
Gu Sheng frowned suddenly, stroking the young leaves at the top of the branch, as if he was lost in thought.
After a while, he said: "I know. I won't pursue today's matter anymore, but you have to promise me one thing."
No investigation? In other words, Guagua doesn’t have to leave her?
Lu Qingling suddenly became happy and nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, I promise daddy!"
Gu Sheng's face turned dark: "I haven't said anything yet!"
He calmed down and said, "I will set up a blinding formation for the branch in your hand later. No matter who asks you in the future, you must say that it is just an ordinary branch. Do you understand?"
Yeah, so easy?
She raised her fair face and nodded heavily.
Gu Sheng could see clearly that the buns on both sides of the little guy's head also trembled.
"Dad, don't worry, these are just ordinary branches!"
He lowered his eyes, and his eyes, which had always been cold and distant, could not help but be tinged with warmth.
"Yeah."
Pan Fengying never expected that things would develop like this.
Not only did Gu Sheng no longer pursue today's matter, he even let Gu Qingling raise the iron-eating beast!
"Brother, you really like Gu Qingling more than Mingzhu, right?"
Gu Sheng was startled and scolded: "What are you talking about in front of Mingzhu!"
Gu Mingzhu was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she rushed forward to hug him.
"Daddy, don't you like Mingzhu?" Her eyes suddenly turned red, looking pitiful.
Gu Sheng touched her head warmly: "Don't listen to your aunt's nonsense. You were the one who accompanied me here during the saddest days of my father's life. How could he not like you?"
When Pan Fengying and Gu Mingzhu heard this, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
After he left with Gu Mingzhu, Pan Fengying frowned and looked back.
Gu Qingling was standing happily under the eaves, watching the iron-eating beast rolling in the snow, everyone laughing.
Her hand holding the magic weapon tightened.
That night, there was a cold wind and heavy rain and snow.
Gu Sheng and Pan Fengying left first, leaving only Gu Mingzhu.
When she was about to go to bed, Gu Qingling noticed that Gu Mingzhu was looking out the window uneasily.
She said: "Miss Mingzhu, why don't you go to bed?"
Gu Mingzhu's face turned pale and she asked in a low voice: "Hey... did you hear anything?"
"Ah?" She tilted her head, "What's the sound?"
"It's just the sound of someone crying. It's whining for a while, but it's not there for a while."
Lu Qingling listened carefully for a while, then shook her head.
"I didn't hear it, maybe it was the wind."
"Really..." Gu Mingzhu pouted and muttered: "If I had known better, I would have gone back with my aunt."
She doesn’t want to sleep alone!
At this time, Gu Cangyin stood upstairs and called the two of them to go back to bed.
Gu Mingzhu reluctantly followed upstairs, wrapped herself in the quilt, and thought about what happened during the day. The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved.
She secretly wiped her tears and muttered something like "Gu Qingling is so annoying."
"Click, click, click——"
At this time, there was a slight noise outside the window. She glanced hurriedly, trembling with fright, and quickly got into bed again.
The strong wind outside became stronger and stronger, and finally blew the closed windows open!
The howling cold wind rushed in with snowflakes, blowing away the quilt on Gu Mingzhu's body.
In a daze, she saw a surging black air slowly coming in through the window.
"Ahhhhh!"
Gu Mingzhu screamed as she collapsed and shrank to the bottom of the bed.
She subconsciously touched her waist, and then she remembered that her body-protecting jade pendant was gone, and her aunt hadn't given her a new one yet!
What to do, what to do! It’s all Gu Qingling’s fault, it’s all that smelly iron-eating beast!
The black energy slowly approached the bed...
Suddenly, the door was kicked open!
A petite figure wrapped in a cloak rushed in, holding a seemingly ordinary branch in his hand.
Gu Qingling shouted: "Get away, bad guy!"
The dazzling sword light suddenly came out, directly knocking the black energy out of the window!
Gu Qingling withdrew her move, was stunned again, and quickly ran over with her short legs.
She slammed the window and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Hey, Master, am I great?"
Yun Chi's indifferent voice sounded in his mind: "It's just a ball of turbid air, don't be proud."
After a pause, Yun Chi added: "But you do learn quickly."
A proud smile appeared on Gu Qingling's face.
Just when she was about to fall asleep, Master suddenly connected with her through a small branch.
He said that there was foul air coming into the room opposite, and asked her to use her newly learned sword moves to deal with it and practice her skills.
So Gu Qingling rushed in bravely!
But she looked around, but she didn't see Gu Mingzhu.
"Oh no, no! Why is Miss Mingzhu missing?"
The little guy was running around anxiously: "Have you been beaten out by me too?"
"I, I'm here...burp!"
Gu Mingzhu crawled out from under the bed in disgrace. She was so frightened that she couldn't speak clearly and hiccupped repeatedly.
Lu Qingling quickly helped her up, found the quilt that had been blown away, and put her on the bed.
"Miss Mingzhu, don't be afraid. I've already beaten that turbidity, and it won't come back again."
"Really?"
"Really, really!"
Gu Mingzhu's nose felt sour, and she rushed towards Gu Qingling with a "wow", hugged her and cried loudly.
Gu Qingling struggled to ask for help: "Master, Master, my ears hurt so much..."
After hearing the loud crying, Yunji decisively cut off the connection with his mind.
Gu Qingling:QAQ?
At only four years old, Gu Qingling felt the ruthlessness of adults for the first time.
