Chapter 1040 Entrustment

After hanging up the phone, Chujiu and I hurried back to the manor, packed up briefly, and prepared to return to Zhangjiajie together.

However, when Chujiu saw that I was going to drive to the airport with her, she smiled and shook her head and said, "Qianyu, I can go back by myself. I am going to take my father to Xuanmen to find Qin Jianing and let Jianing help my father recuperate. This should be a very long process. You still have so many things to deal with, so you don’t have to accompany me."

"You can put aside the rest. Uncle’s health is more important." I got into the car directly.

Chujiu’s eyes reddened when he saw this, but he still shook his head at me.

After Chujiu received the news, she was very excited, and I could clearly feel that she seemed to have let out a long sigh of relief. It was as if her tense heart had completely relaxed at that moment.

To be honest, at that moment, I felt very distressed.

After Feng Changhe fell, Chujiu had been carrying the burden of the Feng family. Although I could share a lot of the burden for Chujiu, Chujiu was too strong-willed. She would never ask me for anything or ask me to do anything unless it was absolutely necessary.

It can be said that she had endured too much during this period.

"Qian Yu, go and get busy. The situation over there with father is still unclear. To be honest, I don't hold out much hope." Chu Jiu held my hand and smiled, then said, "I may not be able to accompany you back to the Northeast. You go back by yourself and be careful about everything, okay?"

"Yeah." I nodded.

"I have prepared some gifts for Mr. Cook and placed them in our room. Remember to get them when you go back."

I was so moved after hearing Chujiu's words that I couldn't help but hold Chujiu's hand tightly and said, "No matter what happens, you must call me first and I will rush back as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. But you, after returning to the village, don't set foot in that ancient tomb unless it is necessary."

I nodded. Chujiu smiled and said, "Get off the car. I have arranged someone to buy a plane ticket for me. I will call you after arriving in Zhangjiajie."

"Okay." I nodded and got off the car.

Chujiu waved to me and drove away from the manor. However, just before driving out of the manor gate, the car suddenly stopped. Then, Chujiu actually got out of the car and ran towards me quickly.

I was a little stunned, but Chujiu threw herself into my arms like a little girl and hugged me tightly.

"Qianyu, take care." Chujiu said softly in my ear.

"You too, take care!" I hugged Chujiu and patted her body gently.

Chujiu and I hugged for several minutes. I smiled and said, "It's not like we're going to the battlefield, or we'll never see each other again. Go quickly and don't miss your flight."

"Yeah." Chujiu nodded, then smiled at me and said, "Let's go."

After that, Chujiu turned around very nonchalantly, waved his hand with his back to me, got in the car, and drove away.

"Qianyu, why is Chujiu leaving? Didn't you say you were going back to the Northeast together?" Hu Zi appeared from nowhere and was looking at me with a smirk on his face.

I looked back and immediately found that not only Hu Zi, but also Mao Buhui and Xu Nian were looking at me with a smirk on their faces.

I shook my head helplessly, and then asked: "Aren't you practicing? When did you come here?"

"Just now, when you and Chujiu were hugging each other, hehe!" Huzi grinned, then punched me and said: "Okay, Qianyu, why didn't I see that you have these two tricks before? How could such a beautiful woman like Chujiu be so obsessed by you?"

"Get lost!" I cursed with a smile, and then ignored them and went back to the room.

After returning to the room and seeing the empty room, I don't know why, I actually had a feeling of... very lonely, even empty.

I thought I had gotten used to being alone, but I never expected that as soon as Chujiu left, I would be instantly struck by the feeling of loneliness, desolation, and emptiness.

"People who used to travel the world said that home is a gentle grave. Once you have a home, you are no longer suitable for traveling the world. I didn't understand it before, but now I understand."

I smiled bitterly, then sat on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

I sat there for several hours, and I didn't feel relieved until Chujiu called me and said that he had arrived in Zhangjiajie safely.

"Dad's condition has improved significantly. Although he still can't perform the Gu technique, his perception of Gu insects has been restored. I have contacted Jianing and I am ready to take Dad to Xuanmen Yizimai overnight."

"Okay, be careful along the way. Also, Xuanmen... may not be peaceful. It's best to keep your itinerary confidential. Also, you should tell Qin Jianing not to disclose it to the outside world." I told him. "

Don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old child. I have already arranged it. Qianyu, we are going to set off."

Chujiu hung up the phone after he finished speaking, but I frowned.

I don't know why, I always have a feeling of... uneasy in my heart.

At this time, my phone rang again. I thought it was Chujiu calling me, but when I picked up the phone and saw the caller ID, I was shocked. The person

who called me was actually Wang Qian.

"Are you here to get the Purple Dragon Pearl from me?" I touched my chin and picked up the phone.

"Brother Qianyu, I'm here in Zhangjiajie." Wang Qian said in a dusty voice. I thought about it and asked, "The Purple Dragon Pearl is with me and can be taken back anytime, but are you in a hurry?" "

No hurry, no hurry. The elder in my family can take it back within two months." Wang Qian smiled innocently and continued, "Brother Qianyu, when are you free? My old man has been praising you recently and asked me to take you back as a guest."

"No need to be a guest, but I do have something I want to ask you for help."

"No problem, as long as it doesn't violate the code of conduct, I, Wang Qian, will never refuse."

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't."

Next, I told Wang Qian about Chu Jiu's schedule and asked him to protect her secretly and not show up unless it was absolutely necessary.

"That's it? It's OK, leave it to me. If your sister-in-law loses even a hair, I, Wang Qian, will come to see her with my head." After saying that, Wang Qian hung up the phone.

After getting Wang Qian's reply, I was relieved. After all, Wang Qian is a master of physical training. With his secret help, if we don't encounter those top masters, we should be fine.
