Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Quite Like the Landlady in the Movies Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Quite Like the Landlady in the Movies These were not the things that needed to be done at the moment.
The immediate task was whether she should walk away with the stone or leave it here?
Gu Qiaoqiao was not actually a girl braver than the sky.
Most of the time, she was quite timid.
Because she had to think about her family behind her.
However, more and more things proved that retreat and cowardice would only plunge their entire family into an irrevocable disaster.
Just like in her previous life.
They kept to themselves, and even though her father and mother lived in a remote village, they couldn’t escape their fate.
So, in this life, Gu Qiaoqiao let loose in many things.
At this thought, her eyes sharpened. Why should she leave?
The person who set this Formation would surely sense it once it was destroyed.
Since she had nothing else to do today, she would wait here and see.
Perhaps she would find out who was the one that had placed the Curse of Extinction under the Old Locust Tree.
She might even follow the trail and stumble upon an unexpected surprise.
Feeling confident in her abilities, Gu Qiaoqiao touched her shoulder bag.
Thus, she sat down again by the edge of the pond.
Holding the black stone in her hand, she lazily moved it back and forth in the water.
Then, with a pair of clear eyes, she casually scanned her surroundings.
About ten minutes later, she saw a black taxi stop at the entrance of the square.
Then two people got out of the car.
One was an elderly lady in her sixties, dressed in black clothes.
The other was a young girl.
The young girl helped the old lady pause at the entrance, then, without hesitation, headed straight for the pond.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart suddenly tightened, and she clenched the black stone in her hand.
At that moment, she did not look up but kept her head down, casually fiddling with the stone in the water as if she were washing it.
Soon, the old lady and the young girl arrived at the edge of the pond.
The old lady came right next to Gu Qiaoqiao.
She stared straight into the water.
From the corner of her eye, Gu Qiaoqiao saw her face turn very grim.
Then, Tian Sanxian noticed the black stone in Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand.
Tian Sanxian did not recognize Gu Qiaoqiao.
She stared intently at the Black Spirit Stone in Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand.
After a moment, leaning on a cane, she also took a seat next to Gu Qiaoqiao.
Taking a deep breath, she masked her grim expression with a gentle one and said warmly, “Young lady, the black stone in your hand looks quite nice.”
Only then did Gu Qiaoqiao look up, facing the old lady.
Her hair neatly combed up.
She wore a black, traditional jacket.
Her pants were lantern style.
At first glance, she resembled a landlady from a movie.
Gu Qiaoqiao blinked her bright, sparkling eyes and smiled.
Then she extended the black stone in her hand towards the old lady and said crisply, “Pretty, isn’t it?”
Tian Sanxian nodded, “Pretty.” Then, feigning nonchalance, she asked, “Young lady, where did you find it?”
Meanwhile, Tian Ling, who stood by silently,
knew her grandmother wouldn’t come here without a reason.
She looked at the black stone, aware of its importance.
But why was this stone in the hands of a beautiful young girl?
