Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, "Yes, it’s completely empty inside."
Dongfang Yu’s eyes darted with a hint of suspicion.
It really was strange.
Had the ancestors of the Gu family left this thing just to toy with them?
Gu Qiaoqiao straightened up and asked earnestly, "Mr. Dongfang, now that the Mysterious Dragon Box has been opened, what else do you want from the Gu Family?"
Dongfang Yu fixed his gaze on Gu Qiaoqiao, knowing in his heart that if this girl did not get an answer, she would definitely not let it go today.
There was no point in hiding it from her.
He had thought that the Mysterious Dragon Box really contained some secret of Reincarnation.
Unfortunately, it was empty, containing nothing at all.
It seemed to be just a deceptive legend after all.
Had the Gu family created this story just to elevate their own status, thereby deceiving their descendants?
Dongfang Yu was quite straightforward, plainly stating, "I know your Gu Family has a Treasure Room filled with gemstones from hundreds of years ago. I want those stones..."
Gu Qiaoqiao clenched her teeth in silence.
Damn, what a greedy appetite!
But this was almost what she had initially suspected.
For someone like Dongfang Yu, what probably appealed most were things like gemstones.
Because the previous Gu Qiaoqiao knew that gemstones were expensive.
Moreover, there was a saying that jade nourishes a person, and a person nourishes jade.
This implied that wearing such things was beneficial for people.
And when she truly had the capability to delve deeper, Gu Qiaoqiao further understood that these gemstones were imbued with Spiritual Energy.
And this Spiritual Energy was greatly beneficial to people like them.
Dongfang Yu’s abilities surpassed hers.
Hence, he probably liked the gemstones even more.
She learned from Elder Zhang’s books.
Regarding the concept of Spiritual Energy, there was none who naturally possessed Spiritual Energy like she did.
Most needed to extract Spiritual Energy from all living beings.
Dongfang Yu in front of her was probably the same.
Now, such rich sources of Spiritual Energy were likely becoming rarer.
Therefore, these people were turning their attention to gemstones.
Gu Qiaoqiao also admitted to herself that in the entire Imperial Capital or even throughout Da Jiang,
the Gu Family might not be the first in possessing such a multitude of gemstones, but they surely deserved the second place.
Perhaps some other families also possessed these.
But they were very low-key.
So no one knew about it.
However, because of the fame of Yubao Square, the Gu family was well-known.
Everyone knew that Yubao Square had been open for many years.
The Gu family not only had gemstone mines but also owned a Jade Carving Workshop.
Just like a dumpling shop, what they had in abundance were dumplings.
The logic between these two was the same.
Dongfang Yu coveting the Treasure Room of Gu Family seemed reasonable within this context.
However, it was the result of several generations of the Gu family’s hard work.
Even if she, Gu Qiaoqiao, was now the successor of the Gu family, she did not have the right to simply hand over these family heirlooms to someone else.
And even if she had the right, how could she just give them away without any regrets?
This was like paying money for peace of mind.
But such peace might not be guaranteed.
Facing such a greedy person as Dongfang Yu, who knew how big his appetite really was...
Gu Qiaoqiao took a deep breath and calmly said, "The gemstones of the Gu family do not belong to me alone, I do not have the right to decide on them."
"What, you need to discuss with your Great Grandfather?" Dongfang Yu asked indifferently.
Gu Qiaoqiao did not reply.
Instead, she looked at Dongfang Yu and after a moment, asked seriously, "Are you only after the Gu Family’s gemstones and the Mysterious Dragon Box?"
It seemed it’s not just these.
