Gu Luoli stared at Gu Nanyi with cold eyes and was silent for a moment.
"No matter who the other party is coming for, since it is within our sphere of influence, Mangshan Village will not sit idly by and ignore this matter. I have arranged for people to investigate and will inform you as soon as there is news.
"
Ever since he knew that the girl in front of him was the once famous wizard, his attitude toward Gu Nanyi had completely changed, and he was full of respect for her.
I had always heard the old man mention the great wizard before, saying that she was extremely smart, had great powers, and could reverse a defeat with just one person.
Originally, he felt that that period of history and those mythical figures were far away from him, but now it was completely different. He could witness the elegance of the great wizard with his own eyes. When he thought of this, Gu Luoli felt excited in his heart.
Gu Nan thanked them all.
Gu Luoli's wheat-colored face showed a hint of embarrassment, completely inconsistent with his usual cold, arrogant and domineering temperament.
Seeing Gu Luoli staring at him and hesitating to speak, Gu Nan spoke first.
"You have something to say?"
"Miss Gu, there is a saying from our ancestors that when you were a great wizard, you could fly with a sword and travel thousands of miles in a day. Is this true?"
Gu Nan blinked twice quickly.
He said in a deep voice: "People in ancient times feared gods more than people today. At that time, in order to unite hundreds of tribal alliances in southern Xinjiang to fight against the enemy, and to boost morale, I did fly with a sword in public."
At that time, it was just to intimidate the morale of the troops, and the result was rumored to be miraculous.
Gu Luoli's eyes were bright.
"So you can really fly with a sword? Miss Gu, can I become your master?"
Gu Nanyi:......
After thinking for a moment, she decided to tell the truth.
"After I woke up this time, I lost a lot of my spiritual power, and sword control requires deep spiritual support. I can't do it now."
Gu Luoli's face showed disappointment.
"It doesn't matter. I'm very happy to see you. Do you plan to stay in Pingcheng from now on?"
"Will stay there for now."
Gu Luoli didn't know what to think, and nodded after being silent for a while.
"I won't disturb your rest. I will go to Pingcheng to visit you when I have time."
"Okay, welcome."
Gu Luoli left the hotel not long after.
Later, Gu Nan received a call from Magu.
"Ms. Gu, I have bought my flight ticket back to Pingcheng tomorrow morning. I will pick you up at seven in the morning."
"Um."
Just after hanging up the phone from Magu, another call came in.
Seeing that the caller ID was from his grandfather, Gu Nan immediately pressed the answer button.
The call was connected, but before she could speak, Ye Lao's concerned voice came from over there.
"Nan Yi, where have you been these past two days? Why can't I get through when I keep calling you?"
Gu Nan pressed his temples that were beating wildly, walked to the beanbag sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down, looking downstairs at the road where cars were passing.
"I'm fine, I made you worry."
There was a trace of reproach in Ye Lao's tone.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance about such a big thing like your going to southern Xinjiang?"
"I'm afraid you'll be worried."
If she had told her grandpa at that time, he would have definitely arranged for someone to follow her.
The purpose of this trip to southern Xinjiang is to find the descendants of Wu Tai, and the process will naturally involve many past events.
As a shrewd person like my grandfather, he would definitely be suspicious if he found out that she was connected to a big family in southern Xinjiang.
This is what she doesn't want to see. In the eyes of her grandfather and uncle, she just wants to be Gu Nanyi.
Ye Lao snorted: "I won't worry if you leave like this? Do you know how worried I am if I can't contact you on the phone? Where do you live now? I have already arrived in southern Xinjiang."
Gu Nan was stunned: "You came to Southern Xinjiang?"
half an hour later
A car parked downstairs of the hotel.
The car door opened and Uncle Chen got out of the car first. He stood beside the car and raised his arms to protect the top of the door. Ye Lao followed closely and got out of the car.
Gu Nan went downstairs early and waited.
After seeing Ye Lao, she immediately ran over.
"Grandpa!"
When he saw Gu Nan, a smile suddenly appeared on Ye Lao's solemn face.
But then I thought about this girl running thousands of miles away to southern Xinjiang without saying a word, and the smile at the corner of her mouth suddenly disappeared again.
He stared at the running little girl with a serious expression.
"You also know that I am your grandfather."
Gu Nan smiled lightly and said, "How dare you not know."
"Humph, I think you are very brave. You ran so far away without saying a word and couldn't even contact anyone. You are really liberal."
"Grandpa, don't be angry."
Chen Bo said on the side: "Miss Nanyi, I have been worried about your situation these two days. I can't contact you and he hasn't slept well in the past two days."
Gu Nan felt guilty.
"Grandpa, you must be tired. Let's go to the hotel first."
Ye Lao didn't reprimand him any more. He had been frightened and nervous for the past two days. In fact, he felt relaxed immediately after seeing Nan Yi.
He didn't really want to be angry, he just wanted the child to know that his grandfather was always caring about her.
A group of people came to Gu Nanyi's room.
Ye Lao looked around.
"You live alone?"
Gu Nan's nerves tensed up, feeling that there was something in the old man's words.
"Um."
"I heard from your uncle that that guy Fu Xiaowu is also in southern Xinjiang."
Before coming to southern Xinjiang, Ye Haisheng ran to Ye's house, mainly because he couldn't contact Nan Yi and was worried about her safety.
After he talked with Ye Haisheng, he learned that Fu Yunchen had also come to southern Xinjiang, and he suddenly became angry.
The fact that he couldn't contact Nan Yi was enough to worry him, but he didn't expect that the time bomb was also in southern Xinjiang.
Nan Yi was at the age when she was just starting to fall in love and yearning for love. Coupled with the fact that Fu Yunchen was handsome, wealthy and extremely sinister, Nan was afraid that she would fall into his beauty trap.
Thinking of this, Ye Lao's anger surged up, his mouth was blistered all night, and he booked a flight overnight.
"Fu Yunchen lives next door." Gu Nanyi answered truthfully.
Ye Lao frowned tightly.
"That kid didn't do anything to you, right?"
Gu Nan looked at Ye Lao and said, "Grandpa, you seem to have some prejudice against him."
"I can't say I have any prejudice, I just think he is uneasy and well-intentioned."
Gu Nanyi: "..." Isn't this called prejudice?

Archaeological Institute
Fu Yunchen told Mr. Qi the whereabouts of the painting and the cryptex.
The old man sat at the table and was silent for a long time.
"The excavation of King Qi's tomb this time was indeed approved by Queen Qi's descendants. After all, these cultural relics still belong to the Gu family. Since they want to get two things back, there is nothing wrong with them, so let them go. It's just a pity that the picture of the lady is
The facial repair has not been completed. Fu Xiaowu, you need to take a good rest now and go back early tomorrow morning."
Fu Yunchen said: "You should pay more attention to your health in southern Xinjiang."
"Haha, don't worry about me. By the way, how have you and that girl Nanyi been going in the past two days?"
Fu Yunchen remained silent.
Mr. Qi sighed: "What's the use of having this face? Why is it so difficult to chase a little girl? Many girls in Beijing chased you back then, but how come it's not so easy for Nan Yi?"
Fu Yunchen smiled slightly: "She's not that superficial."
Mr. Qi gave Fu Yunchen a white look: "You can still laugh? With your snail's speed, the day lily will be cold by the time you catch up with Nan Yi."
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. And she's still young."
Mr. Qi sighed: "It seems that there is no point in my hurrying. Nan Yi is a treasure. You are lucky to meet her. You must grasp it well and show some manliness. Don't be timid."
, be a little thicker-skinned.”
Listening to Mr. Qi's "pointers", Fu Yunchen rubbed his temples.
"Teacher, I have a headache. Let's go back to the hotel first."

Fu Yunchen found an excuse to leave the Archaeological Institute
Ye Xie sat in the car waiting for him.
Seeing Fu Yunchen coming out, Ye Xie whistled.
"I just received news from the hotel that my uncle is here to see Nan Yi."
Fu Yunchen's eyelids twitched: "Go back to the hotel."
