As soon as he said this, everyone except Jiang Qinian was shocked.
Wu Ruonan was doing better. Chen Yueliang and Gu Linghao's mouths were so open that they even made an "o" shape.
"This...this...sister-in-law, are you sure?!"
After a while, Wu Ruonan stammered and asked.
But after a pause, he seemed to notice something was wrong, so he quickly added:
"Sister-in-law, it's not that I doubt what you said, I just... I just feel..."
"Do you think it's a little weird?"
Ying Chumei didn't care.
I saw her pick up the water glass and drink it in one gulp, and then explained to everyone:
“To be honest, I also find it a bit incredible.
After all, this Gu Xiaoman is indeed a living person, with a heartbeat, body temperature, and his words and deeds are the same as those of ordinary people.
But the death aura that fills her body, let alone an ordinary person, may not be able to withstand it even by demigods or strong people in the earthly fairyland, but she seems to be fine, her face is just a little pale."
Hearing this, Wu Ruonan and the other three nodded quickly.
This is what surprised them.
With such a strong death energy, an ordinary person might not be able to withstand it for even a few minutes before something unexpected happens, but Gu Xiaoman...
"Her soul holds secrets."
Jiang Qinian said this.
"When I was behind her just now, I quietly observed her. She was just an ordinary person, but something seemed to have been implanted in her soul.
Very dazzling and very clean.
So much so that the death energy could not corrode her soul at all.
There is only one possibility for this situation to occur, and that is that she was supposed to be dead.
Even if an ordinary person dies suddenly, he will never accumulate such a high concentration of death energy. Generally, those who are in her situation are either advanced practitioners or have accumulated it over many years!
As for Gu Xiaoman, it is obviously the latter!"
After finishing his words, Gu Linghao frowned and said:
"In that case, Gu Xiaoman should have died on his twelfth birthday, but for some unknown reason he has lived until now.
Maybe it has something to do with her grandmother..."
"No matter what happened, my twelfth birthday was definitely an important turning point.
As for the reason... let’s talk to her later.”
Finally, Jiang Qinian waved his hand, bringing the discussion to an end.
The form is still unclear, so we have to wait until we talk to Gu Xiaoman before making any plans.
After a while, Gu Xiaoman walked in with a plate of noodles.
"Guest, these are the noodles that have just come out of the pot. When they are fragrant, you guys can try them quickly."
As she said that, she placed the noodles in front of everyone with a smile.
It was a great joy for her to look at this plate of steaming fragrant noodles.
What impressed me most when I was a child was waking up every morning and seeing my grandma standing on the platform cooking broad beans, while I was jumping around beside me, telling her stories about school.
At that time, she would always swear to her grandmother that she would study hard, make a lot of money, and buy a big, spacious and bright house, so that her grandmother would not have to work hard making noodles every day.
And grandma would always smile and touch her head, and then praise her softly:
"Ah? Then our little Manman is so awesome!"
But after a while, grandma would tell her earnestly:
"Little Manman, grandma doesn't want you to be rich, she just wants you to grow up in peace."
So much so that Gu Xiaoman often doesn't understand, why doesn't grandma ask her to be rich?
Memories of the past appeared in my mind, and the steaming heat hit my face, so that my eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
Seeing this, Ying Chumei also asked with concern:
"Miss Gu, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, the heat from the noodles is a bit irritating."
While talking, Gu Xiaoman gently rubbed his eyes.

Chapter 348: Dead person?
"Guest, please eat quickly, the taste will be worse after it cools down.
I really can't find anything to entertain you here, so don't be offended."
Seeing this, Jiang Qinian did not refuse the other party's kindness, but picked up one and tasted it first.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes lit up, and he greeted several people:
"Try it quickly!
I used to buy noodles there, but I changed several stores and still couldn’t find the same flavor as the ones I ate when I was a kid. I didn’t expect to taste them here!”
Hearing this, Gu Linghao and the others thanked them first, and then started eating quietly.
Seeing that everyone liked it so much, Gu Xiaoman also seemed extremely happy, as if he had received great recognition.
That smile was so contagious that it lit up the room.
"Guest, you can eat as much as you like. You can have some when you go back later."
Hearing this, Jiang Qinian was about to refuse when Ying Chumei pinched him quietly from underneath.
Then, Ying Chumei was filled with a gentle smile.
"Miss Gu, we have some things to do soon, so I'm afraid we will delay your business today.
How about you look at this, this is my boyfriend, we are going back after finishing our work this time, and the parents of both parties plan to meet to finalize the engagement.
My family is from Jin'an, not far from here, and the elders in the family also like to eat it, so why don't Miss Gu sell these noodles to me?
Then there will be delicious snacks placed at the wedding banquet, making it more lively."
"Ah...that's it, no need. If you two get engaged, I...I don't have much to offer. You are all immortals and you have helped me a lot in the past.
So this thing can be regarded as a congratulatory gift from me to wish you both well."
After hearing this, although there was no change in the faces of Jiang Qinian and others, they were thinking a lot in their hearts.
I learned through chatting that Gu Xiaoman just celebrated his eighteenth birthday this year.
Twelve years old, that is, six years ago.
What exactly happened?
While everyone was thinking, Ying Chumei had already stepped forward and took Gu Xiaoman's hand.
"Miss Gu, there is a saying in our hometown that taking advantage of others before getting engaged will harm your moral character. In this way, although there will be no accidents after you get married, trivial matters will not stop.
If Miss Gu regards us as her friends, just sell her to us, and in this way, she will surely be favored by the immortal!"
In the end, Ying Chumei felt relieved for a while, and then Gu Xiaoman nodded and agreed.
After Jiang Qinian ate some noodles, he drank water and cleared his throat, and then said to Gu Xiaoman with a gentle expression:
"Miss Gu, do you know what we do specifically?"
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoman knew that she was about to get to the point, so she pinched the corners of her clothes nervously, and then replied:
"You guys should be... the practitioners mentioned in the book, right? Immortal figures who specialize in killing demons and benefiting the world!!"
“I don’t take it seriously to benefit the world, I just do what I can.”
Having said this, Jiang Qinian paused.
"To be honest, the exercises we practice are quite special, so we often forget some things.
When I came here now, I realized that there seemed to be...a demon appearing here. After all, it was related to our encounter six years ago.
So in order to avoid being punished by God, I will ask you the next question, and you will answer, if there is any change, please don't say anything for the time being."
"Okay! Don't worry, I'll be fine!!"
"Thank you, but don't be nervous. It's just a routine question."
Just now, Gu Linghao wanted to ask what happened six years ago, but was stopped by Jiang Qinian.
There are many reasons, but they cannot avoid a given historical issue.
They returned to six years ago, which means that part of this unknown event has become history and cannot be changed.
The reason why the early warning device is not sounding the alarm until now means that there is a problem at the current time node, which may be as old as six years (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 348: Dead person?
The combination of things before has changed.
So logically speaking, they should need to go back six years ago to investigate key information, and then return to the present world to solve the problem.
In this way, the danger is neither great nor small.
But everything must be clarified, otherwise once they affect history, not to mention whether it will cause a butterfly effect, God alone will not allow them to disrupt the trajectory of history.
By then, the five of us will have no chance of survival!
Now, the reason why Gu Xiaoman and I were asked to answer questions together was just to confirm one thing.
That is, when I returned to six years ago, whether I knew what happened at that time, and if so, to what extent.
In short, it is to determine whether this point is part of established history.
One question and one answer, even if the bottom line is accidentally touched, the conversation can be terminated as soon as possible.
At the same time, Jiang Qinian also tried to show off to Ying Chumei.
Seeing this, Ying Chumei clasped her left hand behind her back and prepared her mysterious technique.
After all, Gu Xiaoman is an ordinary person. If she fails to close her mouth in time, Ying Chumei will temporarily seal her throat with magic to avoid accidents.
Doesn't cause any damage, but is very effective.
After getting ready, Jiang Qinian asked:
"Miss Gu, did you meet us on your twelfth birthday?"
"yes."
"About what time?"
"At night, as for the time... I can't remember clearly. It was probably around eight o'clock. My grandma was celebrating my birthday. During this time, I heard some noises outside, so I went out to take a look."
Gu Xiaoman talked a lot this time, but there were no problems.
Therefore, after Jiang Qinian observed for a while, he continued to ask:
"Who did you see then? Or was it all of us?"
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoman thought about it carefully.
Then, she pointed her finger at Wu Ruonan.
"It's this girl. I only saw her at first."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Jiang Qinian was slightly startled.
"Then when did we show up?"
"You guys showed up not long after, but this girl seemed a little panicked before that."
"Please describe it in detail."
"I saw this girl at that time, but before I could say anything, she ran away in a hurry.
You showed up after a while, and she followed behind you."
Speaking of this, Jiang Qinian frowned deeply.
Then, he seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Miss Gu, this girl's name is Wu Ruonan.
When you first saw her running away, were there any traces of her footprints on the ground??"
