Chapter 438: Chapter 438: It Might Bring You a Calamity Chapter 438: Chapter 438: It Might Bring You a Calamity Gu Qiaoqiao’s clear, water-like eyes shimmered with an indescribable luster as she pointed at the pond with her finger, “It was at the bottom of this pool that I found it.”
Having said that, Gu Qiaoqiao clenched the Stone she had shown Tian Sanxian in the palm of her hand, then stood up and headed straight toward the exit of the plaza.
Tian Sanxian panicked.
She hadn’t expected the young girl to just walk away. She hurriedly called out to her, “Young girl, wait a minute…”
Gu Qiaoqiao had already walked more than five steps away.
Hearing Tian Sanxian’s shout, she turned her head, looked at Tian Sanxian, and asked in surprise, “Old lady, what do you need from me?”
Tian Sanxian walked toward Gu Qiaoqiao.
Upon reaching her, she furrowed her brows and spoke with feigned severity, “Young girl, the things in this pool belong to public property, you can’t just take them, can you?”
Gu Qiaoqiao pretended to be puzzled as she looked at Tian Sanxian, then pointed to the side…
Indeed, she saw several children and even an elderly person taking Stones from the water.
Tian Sanxian really wanted to assume the air of an elder.
But she knew she had no authority at this moment.
Because she wasn’t the administrator here, nor was she a staff member in charge.
Therefore, she couldn’t adopt a righteously indignant attitude to prevent Gu Qiaoqiao from taking the Stone away.
Because she had seen a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl joyfully taking two Stones and leaving the poolside.
Because there were really a lot of Stones in this pool.
And there was no clear regulation nearby that forbid taking Stones out of it.
Tian Sanxian’s thoughts shifted, and she pulled out a ten-yuan bill from her pocket, offering it with a smile, “Young girl, how about I buy that Stone in your hand for ten yuan?”
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the old lady in front of her.
If one looked closely, one could actually see that this old lady was distinctly different from those sitting by the pool watching their grandsons or granddaughters.
There was an eerie look between her brows.
And the kindness typical of the elderly was clearly feigned.
Why had this person arrived here so quickly?
And then, without looking at anyone else, not even bothering to check the bottom of the pool for other Stones, she was fixated on the black stone in her hand…
That meant, perhaps the person who set this trap was her, or someone related to her.
And the Black Pebble in her hand must be very important.
Otherwise, the old lady wouldn’t be in such a hurry to catch up.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s thoughts darted, and she resolutely shook her head, refusing, “No, I really black stone, no matter how much money you offer, I won’t sell it…”
She spoke definitively, leaving no room for discussion.
Then, holding the black stone, she walked towards the exit of the plaza.
Of course, Tian Sanxian couldn’t let Gu Qiaoqiao take the Stone away just like that.
At that moment, the elderly woman moved swiftly and quickly caught up with Gu Qiaoqiao, blocking her path and saying, “Young girl, you should sell me that Black Pebble. Otherwise, it might bring you a calamity.”
Her expression was very serious.
It was as if she was speaking the truth.
Gu Qiaoqiao scoffed internally.
Yet, she suddenly widened her eyes, gripped the black stone tightly, then opened her hand again, looking bewildered at the stone in her palm and murmured in doubt, “Old lady, is what you’re saying true?”
“What I’m saying is true!”
“I don’t believe it, you’re not an Immortal, how would you know that this black stone will bring me great misfortune?” Gu Qiaoqiao seemed very persistent.
