Chapter 460 There is a pair of wild geese

The old man of the Guan family looked at Qiao Xi as if he had seen a treasure.

His breathing became unsteady.

"I now understand what he meant by three years. It turns out that the old man was playing word games with me. He was afraid that I would leak the news, so he deliberately made it so vague."

The old man stared at Qiao Xi with shining eyes.

Qiao Xi took a half step back and asked hesitantly, "What did Master Cheng leave me?"

"He said that he wanted you to read the Plum Blossom Nine Needles more, so that you can fulfill the promise to my Guan family. You can cure my grandson within three years, and I will protect you in the imperial capital. Cheng Han will never lie to me! So there must be a mystery in the book "Plum Blossom Nine Needles"! If I don't confront you face to face, I will never know this secret!"

"Just because you don't know how to use Lingshu Nine Needles now doesn't mean you won't be able to do it in the future!"

Cheng Han has good intentions.

Qiao Xi's heart was shocked.

Try the Plum Blossom Nine Needles more often?

She's flipped enough!

How could there be any mystery in it?

Guan Laozi's ancestors were from the Guwalgiya clan of the Zhenghuang Banner of the Qing Dynasty. His family had countless collections and had seen the world a lot.

I knew that some people would hide rare treasures in the compartments, and perhaps the book "Nine Needles of Plum Blossom" was also hidden in this way.

"Qiao girl, the Plum Blossom Nine Needles and the Lingshu Nine Needles are both nine needles. Why isn't the Plum Blossom Nine Needles called the Plum Blossom Eight Needles? Look, the Lu family calls it the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles. There must be something wrong with this nine!"

Qiao Xi could no longer remain calm, and her eyes were filled with turmoil.

"Qiao girl, go back and take a closer look. I also have a familiar cultural relic restorer in my Guan family. If you have any questions, please contact me."

Old Master Guan felt his silent heart stirred up again, as he originally thought that the Guan family was beyond saving.

The law of the jungle will only lead to being devoured by the Lu and Xiang families. Now it seems there is still a glimmer of hope.

His Guan family is saved!

And the medical skills monopolized by the Lu family may also suffer a major blow!

He just felt the turmoil in his heart dissipate. He had never felt so relaxed and happy in more than ten years.

happy!

Qiao Xi's fingers trembled slightly. "Okay, I'll go back and figure it out now. If there's anything unusual, I'll let you know. If Master Cheng contacts me again, you must tell me immediately."

"Okay! Keep this business card."

Master Guan stuffed a personal business card into her hand and said, "Be careful. If it's true, keep it a secret. Regardless of whether it's true or not, I'll do it for the sake of your master. I will protect you for three years!"

Qiao Xi nodded solemnly.

She also knows the seriousness of the matter, but she feels that Master Cheng has many secrets. Are these secrets related to his disappearance?

"Let's go to the birthday banquet and show up. I'll have the butler take you out later."

"good."

The old and the young reached a consensus, and their faces regained their composure, but the shock in their hearts lingered for a long time.

Qiao Xi walked in front, went around the screen and opened the study door, then saw Young Master Sun and Old Chen standing by the door listening.

"Ouch."

Young Master Sun fell on his butt.

Lao Chen is quite skilled and can keep his composure.

The two looked at her awkwardly and said, "You finally came out! The Guan family's sound insulation is really good. I thought these old buildings were not that good. Hahaha..."

They laughed dryly, trying to break the atmosphere.

Qiao Xi helplessly helped Sun Shao up: "Maybe it's not because of the good sound insulation, but because the Guan family's study is very large. So you can't hear anything. Let's go to the banquet hall."

"Uh-huh."

Sun Weimeng and Lao Chen looked at the serious and stern old man next to Qiao Xi, and thought that this must be Master Guan. He really had the intimidating power of a superior.

How serious!

If they knew how old man Guan laughed and cursed in front of Qiao Xi, they would probably be shocked.

"Butler, the guests are all here. It's time for me to show up."

"Yes." The housekeeper said respectfully, "Mrs. Huo, you come in too."

"Thank you."

The group went down the escalator on the second floor, and Qiao Xi was asked to follow Master Guan. She understood that this was to support her, and wanted the guests below to know that she also had a backer in the imperial capital, so she did not refuse this kindness.

really!

When Master Guan showed up with Qiao Xi, the conversations in the banquet hall fell silent for a moment.

Qiao Xi could feel many strange eyes falling on her, some were curious, some were surprised, and some were envious.

Master Guan walked to the center of the banquet hall and said in a loud voice: "Thank you all for coming to my birthday banquet. People say that seventy is a rare age, but I, Guan Qingguo, will never admit my age."

"How can you be old, old man? Young people are not as healthy as you!"

"You will live a long life!"

"Mr. Guan, your blessings are as vast as the East Sea, and your life is as long as the evergreen pines of the Southern Mountains!"

Master Guan raised his hand to suppress the noisy voices, pulled Qiao Xi to his side and introduced her, "This is a young friend of mine, we are very compatible. She has a straightforward personality and has just arrived in the imperial capital. If she has offended you in any way, please do not embarrass a junior for my sake. It would be even better if everyone could do her a favor in the future."

This is clearly meant to support Qiao Xi!

This is someone protected by the Guan family, other people should not offend him casually!

There were whispers in the crowd.

Qiao Xi raised her lips, with a smile in her eyes. Sun Shao was dumbfounded following her. How could she find a big backer just by going into the study?

The Guan family is ranked third among the noble families in the imperial capital!

From the current perspective, they are more powerful than the Xiang family!

As expected of Huo Xingzhou’s wife, 5 in one word!

Qiao Xi's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked around and saw Lu Yan standing near the exit. The long-distance gaze was filled with a bit of teasing and resentment, and Qiao Xi was not to be outdone, so she smiled and looked back.

Lu Yan quickly moved his gaze away, looking for something inside the banquet hall.

After a while, the young man next to Lu Yan, who was not very good-looking, said a few words to him and left.

Lu Yan was also a little absent-minded. The bodyguards who came and went around him changed one after another, and seemed to be reporting something to him.

Qiao Xi was cautious.

She knew the plain-looking man, it was Xiang Ze!

Xiang Huai's brother!

She also has a grudge against him!

Qiao Xi had something hidden in her heart. She followed Master Guan and toasted everyone with a glass of wine. After she recognized the faces, she asked to leave.

Master Guan knew what she was worried about, and he felt the same way.

Then he said, "I'll ask the butler to take you out."

Qiao Xi declined: "We know the way, so we can just take a look at the scenery inside the palace."

"That's fine. Be careful on the road."

"Well! Goodbye, Master Guan."

Qiao Xi said goodbye and left the crowded and noisy banquet hall with Sun Shao and Lao Chen.

The evening breeze outside carries a hint of chilliness, and the artificial lake looks a little more mysterious at night.

They were about to leave to a less crowded side to avoid being seen by the guests and arousing any suspicion.

After all, it was strange that she wanted to leave before the birthday banquet officially started.

The three of them walked along the winding corridor and passed a moon-shaped archway, where they saw a small building planted with Xiangfei bamboo. It looked like the place where the ladies of wealthy families lived in the past.

Qiao Xi remembered that the housekeeper had just introduced this as the eldest lady's residence.

The moonlight was bright and this place was quieter than the banquet hall. But in this quiet atmosphere, a strange sound could be heard.

Sun Shao pricked up his ears and listened for a while, then a very ambiguous smile appeared on his face.

He lowered his voice and teased, "There is a pair of wild geese in there."
