“It’s the person Father is thinking of, Bai Li.” Hearing Zhao Jinxiang’s question, Gu Nianqing turned to Zhao Jingxiang and answered seriously. Then, after thinking for a moment, she added, “Father, don’t worry, Father is still alive.”
After Gu Nianqing finished speaking, Zhao Jinxiang's tears suddenly flowed from his eyes. As the saying goes, a man does not easily shed tears, unless he is deeply saddened.
"Father, don't cry. You and your father will be reunited." Seeing Zhao Jinxiang's tears, Gu Nianqing quickly wiped them away with her small hands.
"I thought...I thought...I thought your father was gone. Thank goodness...thank goodness...thank you, Nianqing, thank you for telling me that your father is still alive!"
Zhao Jinxiang could no longer hold back his emotions. He hugged Gu Nianqing tightly and then burst into loud sobs, as if he wanted to cry out all the bitterness and sorrow he had felt over the years.
Ever since he received the news from the organization that Bai Li had sacrificed himself, he had been living like a walking corpse. Every time there was a mission, he would rush to the front, just so he could go there as soon as possible and find Bai Li.
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun watched silently from the side. From Gu Nianqing's words, they guessed their uncle's story. It seemed that their uncle was not that kind of person, but that he had no intention of finding a woman to marry. Perhaps that person was not suitable, and it was just something their uncle deliberately let go of. However, if Bai Li, whom Nianqing mentioned, was really still alive, it would be a great joy for their uncle.
“No wonder Nianqing is so close to her uncle!” Lin Qing suddenly whispered to Gu Nanxun. At this moment, she felt a mix of soreness and bloating, and her emotions were particularly complicated. She never expected that her child would have memories of her past life, and that she herself was such an irresponsible parent.
"It's okay, we'll make it up to the child in this life."
Gu Nanxun reached out and gently ruffled Lin Qing's hair to comfort her. His feelings were also quite complicated. Although he didn't know why they hadn't raised their child in their previous life, judging from Nianqing's behavior, he didn't blame himself or Qingqing. However, no matter what, it had already happened, and they should look forward. All they could do in this life was to provide their child with a good environment to grow up in, so that the child could grow up carefree.
After a long while, Zhao Jinxiang finally composed himself and then asked Gu Nianqing softly, "Nianqing, can you tell me where your father is?"
Gu Nianqing shook her head upon hearing this: "Father, everything has been arranged. There is no way to meet with you for the time being."
Zhao Jinxiang paused for a moment upon hearing this, then asked, "Is your father safe now?"
"Father, don't worry. He has the gift I gave him, so nothing will happen."
"A gift? What gift?" Zhao Jingxiang asked, puzzled.
Gu Nianqing nodded, then glanced at Gu Nanxun and said with a smile, "The same gift as Dad?"
"The same gift as mine? How come I don't know what it is?"
When Gu Nanxun heard Gu Nianqing mention that she had also given him a gift, he asked, puzzled. He couldn't recall Nianqing giving him any gift!
Gu Nianqing smiled and nodded, then said, "Dad and Mom use it every day, how could they not know?"
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun exchanged a glance. "What is it that we use every day?"
Lin Qing was even more puzzled.
"Didn't the Marrow Cleansing Pill you gave your uncle also come from that gift?"
Gu Nianqing smiled and offered a suggestion.
"system?"
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun exchanged a glance, then suddenly said in unison:
"Did you give that system to Brother Nanxun?"
"You gave me that system?"
Gu Nianqing nodded.
"What system? What are you talking about?" Zhao Jinxiang asked, looking puzzled.
"Uncle, this is a bit difficult to explain. Let me take you to see it!"
After saying that, Gu Nanxun took Zhao Jinxiang's hand with one hand and Lin Qing's hand with the other, and disappeared from the spot, arriving in the space.
Zhao Jinxiang felt a blur before his eyes, and the next moment they were standing in an unfamiliar place.
He looked up and saw a hazy white mist all around him, soft grass beneath his feet, and a fresh fragrance in the air.
Not far away were endless fields, where some plants I didn't know the names of were planted. Next to the fields were some buildings, which were labeled with orchard, pasture, processing workshop and feed mill.
Behind him was an antique-style courtyard, and the house in the courtyard was a two-story building.
Zhao Jinxiang stared for a long time before he came to his senses. He looked at Gu Nanxun, and the scene before him was completely beyond his comprehension. This surprised him even more than when he learned that Gu Nianqing had memories of her past life.
"Uncle, let's talk in the room!" Gu Nanxun said, having been waiting for his uncle to come to his senses.
Zhao Jinxiang nodded upon hearing this, then picked up Gu Nianqing and followed Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing towards the courtyard behind them.
When everyone entered the living room, Zhao Jinxiang was once again drawn to the appliances. He suppressed his curiosity and sat down on the sofa with Gu Nanxun, looking at Gu Nanxun with anticipation.
"Uncle, this is our private space, which was given to us by the system."
Lin Qing nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, this space can be used to store items, and it also allows us to cultivate and improve our strength."
Zhao Jinxiang looked around, his eyes filled with curiosity: "Then... what exactly is this system you're talking about?"
At this moment, Gu Nianqing patiently explained, "Does Father know about computers?"
Zhao Jingxiang nodded: "What does this have to do with computers?"
"Father, you can understand it this way: the system is like the operating system in a computer, only it's much more advanced. It has its own thoughts and emotions. It can assign tasks to the host and give rewards, and it can also connect to other dimensions so that the host can communicate and trade with other dimensions. Furthermore, system points can be used to shop in the system store. The space we are in now was purchased by Dad with points. Of course, the space Dad bought wasn't originally like this. It developed into this state because of Dad's fortuitous encounter, but in any case, it's pretty much the same!"
Zhao Jinxiang was stunned: "So, does this system have any other capabilities?"
