It was just surprising that at the end of the alleyway stood Old Wang’s home, but since when had the desperately poor Old Wang Family welcomed such a handsome and spirited young man?
However, dinner time was quickly approaching, and no one had time to pay attention to this.
And half an hour later, Old Wang was walking towards the gate of his home.
Not long after, the alleyway was filled with Old Wang’s wailing and heart-rending roars.
Minutes later, a police car, siren blaring, drove into the entrance of the alleyway.
At this time, Qin Yize was still on the road.
But was soon to arrive at Gu Garden.
On arriving at Gu Garden and learning that Qiaoqiao was still in her sculpture studio, he felt a pang of heartache.
Qin Yize hurried towards the sculpture studio.
He couldn’t understand why she was working so hard.
Although opening the Mysterious Dragon Box might reveal earth-shattering secrets, no secrets were more important than Qiaoqiao’s health.
He remembered the first time, when Qiaoqiao carved the Gold Jade Stone day and night while he was not home, and Qin Yize quickened his pace.
Opening the door to the carving studio, indeed, a petite figure was half-leaning over the table, focused on carving.
Qin Yize slowed his steps.
Nevertheless, she still noticed him.
Qiaoqiao suddenly turned her head.
Her sparkling eyes were full of smiles.
She put down her carving knife and, holding up the Red Spirit Jade Marrow, said with a laugh, "I’ve carved sixty-two lotus petals already."
Qin Yize strolled forward, stretched out his hand, and took the Red Spirit Jade Marrow she offered him, examining it closely.
Even with his extensive knowledge, he couldn’t find the right words to describe it.
The craftsmanship was so exquisite, it seemed beyond the capability of mortals.
As if an Immortal from heaven had done the carving.
Each lotus petal seemed so lifelike that it appeared to exude the unique fragrance of the red lotus.
This red lotus, however, was something he had never seen before.
Although not yet in its final form, for some reason, each time he looked at it, he felt a sense of the Red Lotus Karma Fire.
Even though he had no idea what the Red Lotus Karma Fire was.
After a glance, Qin Yize placed the Red Spirit Jade Marrow on the table.
He reached out, pulled Qiaoqiao towards him, and looked her over carefully, frowning, "You seem to have lost weight."
Qiaoqiao looked at herself in surprise, then raised her head to meet Qin Yize’s gaze, "Not at all, I feel like I’ve even gained a little."
Qin Yize shook his head in disagreement, "You don’t realize it yourself, but I haven’t seen you for a while, so I know you’ve lost weight."
Then, looking at the Red Spirit Jade Marrow on the table, he said in a low voice, "Qiaoqiao, are you so anxious to open it?"
Qiaoqiao nodded, "Yeah. I’m actually quite anxious,"
"Why?" Qin Yize asked in surprise.
He remembered Qiaoqiao used to be in a hurry.
But recently, she had an attitude of letting things take their course.
Seeing the anxiety between her brows today was a first.
The perceptive Qin Yize noticed it immediately.
That’s why he asked with concern.
Qiaoqiao knew that the events of that night might seem unthinkable to Qin Yize.
But Qin Yize would definitely accept it without hesitation.
She had no doubt about that.
It’s just that the Gu Family seemed to have gained an even more dangerous enemy, perhaps one they couldn’t resist.
Qiaoqiao’s heart was actually uneasy.
However, she and Qin Yize should now be considered comrades fighting side by side.
