When they parted, Gu Yiqiao didn't hold it against him. He then spoke privately with the other Fu brothers before bidding farewell to the group from Xianwu Island.
"What about me? You haven't said goodbye to me yet," Xingxing pouted, reminding him unhappily.
"If the Gu family ever encounters any difficulties in the future, I hope Your Highness will take good care of them." Gu Yiqiao's expression was serious. He was serious. He had a feeling that Xingxing was the princess. Although she had not yet returned to the palace, he wanted to get on her good side first.
"Let's talk about it after I become a princess. If you haven't done anything heinous, I'll take care of you a bit more, considering we've known each other and escaped together," Xingxing said seriously.
The others laughed, saying the little girl was just too cute.
Gu Yiqiao smiled in a good mood, then waved his hand, and Fu Jiasheng came out carrying a box. Gu Yiqiao took it and handed it to Xingxing, saying, "This is for you."
"What's in here?" the little girl asked in a soft, sweet voice.
"These two luminous pearls can be used for lighting at night. If you put them in the room at night, you won't need to light candles." Gu Yiqiao remembered that the little girl had said that tinderboxes were not easy to use and that it took a long time to light candles, which was very annoying. So Sui gave her two luminous pearls.
"But you've already given so many things, it's so embarrassing." Xingxing said she felt embarrassed, but she quickly took the box from him, showing no sign of embarrassment at all.
She really didn't like lighting candles, so these two luminous pearls made things much more convenient.
"Actually, I also have a luminous pearl here. If you want it, I can give it to you. You can return this one." Seeing how much she liked it, Zhu Lin regretted not taking out the luminous pearl sooner. He had dozens of them in his mustard seed space, each one larger than the one Gu Yiqiao gave him, and more suitable for lighting.
"I've already accepted them. It would be embarrassing to return them. I can see that Young Master Gu really wanted to give them, so I'll accept them. You can keep Brother Lin's beads for now." Xingxing was content with the two beads she already had and didn't want any more.
"After we leave, Gu Yiyuan will probably come looking for you. Are you confident you can handle him?" Zhou Sanfu walked over and whispered.
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Sanfu. I am no longer the weak and helpless Gu Yiqiao who only knew how to read the classics. The grudge between me and Gu Yiyuan will be settled sooner or later. The fact that he took the initiative to come to me saves me a lot of trouble."
“Now we can leave with peace of mind. Take care.” Zhou Sanfu clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Take care, everyone. The journey may be fraught with danger, so please be careful." Gu Yiqiao saw the group off to the city gate.
After leaving the city gate, they saw several familiar faces at the Shili Pavilion. It seemed that these people had been waiting for them for a long time. The group from Xianwu Island did not show much emotion, but Zhou Laoda's family was very moved.
"Are the three venerable immortals waiting here so early? We dare not accept such praise. Thank you for your hard work." Old Zhou thanked him sincerely.
Zhu Tianqing went up and hugged Boss Zhou in a very proper manner, but out of the corner of her eye she glanced at the group from Xianwu Island. Tsk, these heartless brats. They came to Shili Pavilion early in the morning to see them off, but these little guys didn't show the slightest bit of gratitude.
"Take care on your journey, and let us know you've arrived safely," Zhu Tianqing said with a slightly sour expression.
"Don't worry, old man Qing. What could possibly happen to us? It's always someone else who's in trouble," Zhu Qiuyu interjected, completely oblivious to the situation.
"Who cares about you? Who cares whether you live or die? We three old guys are here to see off Brother Zhou's family and that adorable little girl." Zhu Tianqing glared at him and said defiantly.
"I'm getting old, and I'm really annoying now. I should have known better than to come. All my good intentions were wasted." Zhu Tianxin clutched her chest with a pained expression.
The people of Fairy Mist Island: "?"
These three old guys are as strong as oxen; it would be a miracle if they had chest pains. They're quite the actors at their age.
“Young people these days are getting more and more rude. It’s true that each generation is worse than the last. It’s not a bad thing that no new people have been born on the island for so many years. If they were all like them, we would rather not have any.” Zhu Tianwan pointed at Zhu Qiuyu, looking like she had a particular grudge against him.
Zhu Qiuyu: "?"
Those old folks who don't want to go back to the island are definitely unlikable; they have terrible tempers.
"Seniors, there's no need to worry about us. My fellow disciples and I are all quite skilled; no one can touch us. You can go back with peace of mind. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can send a message by carrier pigeon, and we will definitely come to your aid upon receiving the message." Zhu Lin was quite the young master at this moment.
"Thank you, young master. Have a safe journey." The three old men were still very respectful to their young master.
Upon hearing this, the three elderly people's expressions softened.
Xingxing waved vigorously at them and said in a childish voice, "Go back now, be careful on the road. Did you come by yourselves? Didn't anyone bring you here? Where is your carriage?"
The three old men smiled mysteriously and waved to the little girl.
"Stop looking. They don't need carriages. They'd probably run faster than horses," Zhu Qiuyu muttered to herself.
"Don't think we can't hear what you're saying, Qiu Yu. Your disrespect is unacceptable. When you come to Quanshui Mansion again, we'll teach you a lesson and show you how powerful we old folks are." Zhu Tianqing snorted, her voice echoing through the distance.
"Alright, we'll see who's better then." Zhu Qiuyu secretly rolled her eyes.
When he was on Fairy Mist Island, he found the island boring and would often provoke the old people, who would then chase him all over the island, and finally beat him up by a group of old people.
Don't underestimate those old people. Although they are not young, their kung fu skills are just as good, or even better than those of young people. However, there are always some fearless younger people who like to provoke the old people. After being beaten up, they still dare to do it again after their injuries have healed.
