Chapter 301 Looks Stupid But Not Stupid

Gu Qingyue stood ten steps away from him and asked, "Where did you kidnap this child from?"

Jiang Sui grabbed the little sticky bug clinging to his lap by the back of his collar and lifted it up into his arms. "How unfair! She came out on her own and got stuck on me. I can't get rid of her even if I chase her away."

"When asked, she played dumb and refused to tell me where she came from. I had no place to send her away even if I wanted to."

Gu Qingyue looked at the child in his arms. He looked about four or five years old. He stared at him with a pair of clear big eyes. His blue hair was slightly messy and draped over his shoulders. His cheeks were a little dirty.

He walked forward to Jiang Sui and pinched her face, "Where are you from? I'll take you home."

She just stared at Gu Qingyue without saying a word, her eyes were deep blue.

Gu Qingyue tapped her forehead with his fingers and said, "She's not pretending to be stupid, she's really stupid, her eyes are a little slow."

"Ah?" Jiang Sui held her in his arms and pinched her face to look at her. "Just now, she was holding onto my legs and wouldn't let me see her face. I really didn't notice."

"Little girl, look at me."

She cried out, "Uncle!"

"I'm not your uncle." Jiang Sui didn't notice any breath approaching, and there were not many people on the street late at night.

"uncle!"

"Then tell me where your uncle is and I'll take you to find him."

"Uncle! Wahhhhhhhhhhh..." she said and started making a fuss.

The devilish sound penetrated his ears. Jiang Sui closed his hearing and threw her into Gu Qingyue's arms, "You comfort her."

Gu Qingyue: ...

You'd better think of me when good things happen.

Gu Qingyue reached out and pinched her cheeks without using much strength, "If you cry again, I'll throw you away."

The crying stopped suddenly.

Jiang Sui regained his hearing and called out, "Why are you still so picky? I coaxed you for so long and you never even looked up. But when he came, you looked up and cried in my arms. You only listened to what he said."

"Wow……"

Jiang Sui: ...

Do you have a grudge against me? Am I some unpleasant person?

Gu Qingyue pinched her face again, "Cry again?"

"Waaaaaah!" She paused, hiccuping and pouting.

"What's your name? Where is your home?" Gu Qingyue pinched her armpits and lifted her up so that her face was facing him.

"uncle."

"Who is your uncle?"

"uncle."

"Is that all you can say uncle?"

"uncle."

Gu Qingyue: ...This is the first time I’m speechless.

"Your robes are made of fine material. You must be rich or noble. Let me take you to the palace."

Seeing that she wanted to cry again, Gu Qingyue said, "If you cry again, I will throw you out of the city and let the sea monsters eat you."

She pouted and looked aggrieved.

Gu Qingyue held her by the knees and hugged her, "You can pretend to be wronged, looking stupid but not stupid."

"uncle……"

"I know you like your uncle very much. You don't even call him mother, but uncle all the time."

Jiang Sui followed them and said, "It seems that I was right to call you instead of my brother. If I can't coax her, my brother certainly can't coax her either."

It’s good enough that his brother would say “Don’t cry” in a stern voice.

Carrying the little sea creature to the gate of the West Sea Palace, Gu Qingyue pinched the chubby face of the child in his arms and looked at the soldiers guarding the city, "I found a child, do you know him?"

The soldier took a look at the child in his arms and was startled. "It's the little princess. How did the little princess run away from the palace?"

"It's easy now that you know me. I'll return it to you." Gu Qingyue handed the child to him.

"Wa ...

The soldier froze, "Little Princess, please don't cry!"

Gu Qingyue had no choice but to bring her back, "You still recognize people."

Jiang Sui looked at them and asked, "Why don't you go find someone who can take charge?"

The soldiers nearby hurriedly passed on the spiritual message.

Jiang Sui pinched her face and asked, "So your uncle is the Prince of Xihai?"

Her mouth pursed.

"cry?"

When she heard Gu Qingyue's voice, she stopped.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're not stupid at all. You're quite good at reading people's expressions." Jiang Sui clicked his tongue twice.

Gu Qingyue poked her cheek and said, "Why are you relying on me? I didn't know you before."

"uncle."

Gu Qingyue was silent for a moment.

A little fool who can only call uncle.

After receiving the spiritual message, Cong Yu hurried over, "Ting Yuan!"

"Uncle!" The child in Gu Qingyue's arms turned around when he heard the voice.

Cong Yu took the child out of Gu Qingyue's arms and patted her on the back, "Why did you run away?"

"Uncle!" Ting Yuan happily arched Cong Yu's neck, his tone very happy.

"To be honest, it may be offensive, but she is a little abnormal," said Gu Qingyue.

"I know." Cong Yu held his niece, who was smiling foolishly in his arms. The panic on his face subsided, and he looked at the two cultivators from the Lingxu Sect. "When Tingyuan was two years old, my sister and brother-in-law died. When we rushed over, Tingyuan was dying."

"I saved him, but half of his soul is gone. He's in this state now. He only stays close to me and often gets upset."

"We've been searching for three years, but we still haven't found the other half of her soul."

"Did she run away by herself? Didn't you notice?" Gu Qingyue asked.

"Well, she's run away on her own many times. Fortunately, there's a city defense formation, so it's not too troublesome for us to find her."

"She's a little special. She can become invisible. Sometimes even my father can't detect her presence, so it takes some effort to find her when she runs away."

Cong Yu said with some surprise, "She didn't cry in your arms just now, but she would cry loudly even when my father, the king, and my mother held her."

Jiang Sui continued, "I was walking down the street when she suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed my legs. I asked her about it but she didn't say anything. I wanted to look at her face but she wouldn't let me. I was afraid of hurting her, so I just kept walking while she clung to my legs."

"Later, I asked Junior Brother Gu to come over, and she actually listened to him and stopped crying."

Ting Yuan hugged Cong Yu's neck and stared at Gu Qingyue.

Gu Qingyue: "We have sent the person back, so we will leave now."

"uncle!"

Cong Yu knew every tone of her voice, "Gu Daoyou, she wants to go play with you."

"Aren't you looking for your uncle? You are already in your uncle's arms."

"uncle!"

Gu Qingyue: “…”

Helplessly, Gu Qingyue pulled her over and said, "I'll take you out to play for two days. When you're done, go home obediently. It will be useless to call me uncle then."

"uncle!"

"Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Gu to take care of her for two days. She's quite energetic at night."

On the way back, Gu Qingyue shook the little one in his arms and asked, "Why do you rely on me?"

"uncle!"

Jiang Sui: "Are you weird uncle?"

"Don't shout, I'm tired of listening." Gu Qingyue patted her head.

After returning to the inn, Lou Fanfan and Hang Xingfan were about to go upstairs when they sensed their presence and turned around.

Lou Fanfan: "Where did you two pick up this child?"

"Uncle!" Ting Yuan saw her and reached out to her.

Lou Fanfan was stunned for a moment, "You want me to hold you?"

Gu Qingyue stuffed it directly into her arms.

He would love to be able to let go.

Lou Fanfan looked at the four or five-year-old girl in her arms and pinched her face. "She's quite cute."
