However, for someone like him, face is more important than anything else.
Therefore, he wouldn’t discuss this matter with Gu Qiaoqiao.
He always wanted her to find out on her own and then express her gratitude to him.
But obviously, Qiaoqiao hadn’t noticed this.
And he couldn’t bring himself to take the initiative to tell her either.
Additionally, after causing a commotion at her family’s place that day,
Dongfang Yu had quite a negative opinion of her.
But for the time being, he really couldn’t lay a finger on her.
The little girl indeed had conditions that gave her confidence.
Just because he hadn’t seen Qiaoqiao for a while, didn’t mean he ignored the Gu Family’s affairs.
He was indeed very interested in that gemstone.
Lin Fanpeng had told him that many of the gemstones were very ancient.
If certain principles were to be considered, some might have developed their own innate consciousness.
In that case, it would be of great benefit to him.
Thus, in the dead of night,
Dongfang Yu used an Invisibility Talisman to swagger into the ancient Gu residence.
He had always been a man of clear objectives.
Whatever he wanted to do, he went straight to the place.
Today, he was after the gemstones in the Treasure Room.
So he made his way directly to it.
Upon reaching the entrance of the Treasure Room, Dongfang Yu immediately felt the presence of the gemstones.
But he knew that this place seemed quite unusual.
It seemed as if there was a natural Eight Trigrams Array here.
Or perhaps some kind of Qimen Dunjia arrangement protecting it.
Standing in front of the study’s bookshelf,
Dongfang Yu lit a Spirit Talisman.
The talisman turned into a halo of fire that hovered low,
and in a matter of moments, transformed into a small red bird flapping its wings.
The little bird flew back and forth in front of the bookshelf,
then it landed at a specific spot.
Soon after, it began to peck forward with its beak.
Moments later, the bookshelf slowly slid open.
Dongfang Yu looked around.
It seemed that there was no disturbance after the bookshelf was opened.
Still cautious, he thoroughly checked the surroundings before dashing into the Treasure Room.
Lastly, the little bird flew in after him.
The body of the bird glowed with a red light,
illuminating the room like a bulb.
Then Dongfang Yu was stunned by the scene before him.
Even though he had some anticipation of what it was like here, he couldn’t help being shocked.
The gemstones were really beautiful.
Spiritual Energy was abundant.
And, most importantly, he didn’t possess half of these gemstones.
It seemed that even the heavens were on his side.
Dongfang Yu methodically made his way through Duobao Pavilion, examining each gemstone one by one.
Afterward, he stopped in front of a purple gemstone.
The color of the gemstone was as beautiful as Xiao Bai’s eyes.
If he took it back, Xiao Bai would definitely like it.
Just as his hand touched the purple gemstone,
Dongfang Yu’s hand suddenly froze.
Hurriedly steadying himself, he concentrated and listened closely...
Something was off here...
Everything seemed calm just a moment ago,
but why was the ground starting to tremble now?
Without a second thought, Dongfang Yu’s figure flashed as he raced towards the bookshelf.
Afterward, the red bird also flew out.
At his command, the little bird quickly shut the door to the Duobao Pavilion.
He listened intently.
There was no more noise inside.
What exactly was happening?
Why wouldn’t the gemstones let him touch them?
Or perhaps, at that moment, something specific activated something else.
After some careful thought, Dongfang Yu figured out what was going on.
