Then Dongfang Yu had it brought over and gave it to her.
Although Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know why Dongfang Yu did so...
she was still very happy to have her long-accompanying weapon back in her own hands.
However, Gu Qiaoqiao thought that the next time Qin Yize came back, she would see if he could make another one for her, just in case.
At that thought, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered something.
If the Gu Family also excelled in the art of machinery, then could she have a craftsman make a hidden weapon?
She would need to discuss this matter with Great Grandfather later.
By this time, Gu Qiaoqiao had already followed White Cat across two streets.
Gu Qiaoqiao was also very fast; there was a time when she would run with Qin Yize every day, and now her physical fitness had improved even more.
Moreover, with the help of her fingers, Gu Qiaoqiao’s speed was incomparable to that of an ordinary girl.
Therefore, it was quite easy for her to keep up with White Cat.
White Cat hadn’t expected that Gu Qiaoqiao could actually keep up, so it also sped up, but upon crossing the third street, it suddenly stopped next to a phone booth.
White Cat hesitated a little.
It wondered if taking Gu Qiaoqiao to its master’s apartment on its own would make the master angry or blame it.
It should go back and ask the master’s opinion first.
Then it could lead Gu Qiaoqiao over there.
Although the master’s temperament seemed mellow now, once someone crossed his bottom line, that unpredictable nature could be unbearable.
White Cat thought for a moment.
Suddenly, a glint flashed in its purple eyes.
With a cat’s leap, it sprinted into an alley like an arrow shot from a bow.
Gu Qiaoqiao could tell at a glance that White Cat didn’t want to lead the way anymore and was trying to take off on its own.
Without a second thought, Gu Qiaoqiao followed suit.
She ran into the alley, following White Cat.
Then she raised her hand and fired a shot at the white shadow.
To her surprise, White Cat dodged again.
It seemed that the man’s pet also had some abilities.
While Gu Qiaoqiao was startled, her fingers were already cocking the slingshot’s trigger again.
Then, the second and third stones whizzed out as well.
One stone even hit the cat on its tail.
White Cat let out a pitiful meow, casting an incredulous glance at Gu Qiaoqiao before plummeting straight down from the top of the high wall.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart leaped with joy.
She quickly ran towards that wall.
Unfortunately, the wall was too high for Gu Qiaoqiao to climb over.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked left and right.
Why were the walls so high?
Without a moment’s hesitation, Gu Qiaoqiao ran toward the exit of the alley.
By this time, dusk had set in, and the streetlights at the alley’s mouth glowed a hazy yellow.
A group of young men walking arm in arm approached,
sporting slicked-back hair, bell-bottom jeans, and pointy leather shoes.
The zippers on their down jackets were left unzipped,
a style that was the most typical and iconic of the era.
Gu Qiaoqiao still rushed swiftly toward the mouth of the alley.
The young men glanced at each other and then looked behind them. No one was ahead, and no one was behind.
It seemed they were in luck with the ladies today.
Hence, the four of them blocked Gu Qiaoqiao’s way.
Gu Qiaoqiao had no choice but to stop her sudden sprint.
She looked at the young men with displeasure and commanded, "Get out of my way now."
"Whoa, this little girl’s got quite the temper. Heh, I like that."
"I just love little beauties with a fiery temper..."
