She also believed that the Red Spirit Jade Marrow, now satiated, should have no interest in her anymore.
Thus, after Gu Qiaoqiao returned to her normal state, she placed her hand on the shockingly red Red Spirit Jade Marrow.
Gu Qiaoqiao was delighted to discover that it was indeed so.
The Red Spirit Jade Marrow now showed no interest in her fingers.
It seemed as though it had eaten its fill.
It appeared as if the Spiritual Energy within was about to overflow.
So Gu Qiaoqiao quickly seized the Red Spirit Jade Marrow, without any hesitation she placed it into a box, and with a snap, she closed the lid.
Quietness returned to the area once more.
Looking at the jade mine, now worthless, Gu Qiaoqiao’s lips curled into a smile.
From then on, the Gu Family’s Jade Mine would no longer exist in this world!
About three kilometers away, in a valley, a man in his early twenties was sitting by the lakeside, fishing.
At his feet lay a White Cat.
Wholly white, without a single stray hair.
Moreover, one of the cat’s half-lidded eyes was purple.
The lake formed a crescent shape.
Seen from a distance, it resembled a blue crescent moon.
The water of the lake was so clear that one could see the plants swaying at the bottom with the ripples.
It is often said that where the water is too clear, there are no fish.
Yet, in the gaps between the plants, round little fish the size of fingers were swimming about.
And there was a group of small fish gathered around the bait.
The man had fair skin, long and shapely eyebrows, slightly upturned phoenix eyes deep as the sea, a distinctive nose, and thin lips that turned up slightly, watching the school of fish with a mocking expression.
He was dressed in a loose black Tang suit, which set off his jade-like complexion, but if one looked closely, one could see that his eyes were filled with an indescribable frost, as if formed from ice and snow.
At that moment, something seemed to tremble lightly under his feet. His hand tightened around the fishing rod, and without moving his body, he turned his head to look toward the northwest of the valley.
After a long while, he finally put down the fishing rod and stood up unhurriedly, looking in that direction.
With his hands behind his back, the wind in the valley lifted the hem of his clothes, like a black butterfly ready to take flight, and his entire being seemed to emanate a touch of enchanting charm.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze.
Muttering to himself, “It seems, quite interesting indeed…”
The sun was setting, and the sky at that location was filled with magnificent clouds.
The clouds, as if randomly splashed with paints by an Immortal, had in a matter of moments dyed the sky into a beautiful picture.
Gu Qiaoqiao stood at the entrance of the mine, also looking up at that beautiful sunset, with a sense of accomplishment and joy flooding her heart as never before.
It seemed that this evening was exceptionally beautiful.
Three days later, Gu Cheng and Gu Jiansheng, with the contract and property ownership documents in hand, traveled from the Imperial Capital.
Zhang Yi had finished his business and returned as well.
They hadn’t left because they were waiting for the arrival of Gu Cheng and Gu Jiansheng.
Because the Jade Mine had been sold, it no longer belonged to the Gu Family.
As for how other people might publicize the transfer of ownership of the gemstone mine, Uncle Gu and his group had lost interest.
They didn’t care what the new owner’s name was; what mattered was that it was no longer a Gu Family asset.
Gu Jiansheng’s expression was gloomy as he followed behind Gu Cheng, but when he saw Gu Qiaoqiao, his eyes suddenly brightened.
Since the conversation in the Lijing Ho banquet hall, this was the first time Gu Jiansheng had seen Gu Qiaoqiao.
