Chapter 264 Key
However, what Li Xiaobai didn’t expect was that she only saw joy on Gong Mo’s face.
This is the Gong family's territory, and everything here belongs to the Gong family. Gu Zhifei has obviously encountered a great opportunity this time, so Gong Mo should be unhappy.
This was unusual, but Li Xiaobai didn't want to dig into it. Something must have happened inside, but since it didn't harm her junior sister, there was nothing for her to ask.
The three of them returned to the Gong family with their own thoughts.
Except for Li Xiaobai who stopped halfway and looked relatively neat, Gong Mo was missing a shoe and was seriously injured, the hem of Gu Zhifei's robe fell into the lava, burning a big hole, and a big blister on his right hand.
Everyone went back to their rooms, made some adjustments, some changed clothes, some applied medicine, and about half an hour later, they met in the reception room of the Gong family.
Madam Gong was already waiting for them there.
"I heard some noise in the back hill. Are you injured? What happened? Are you okay?"
Gong Mo reported: "Fortunately, everything went well, the child has obtained the water and fire stick."
After saying that, she took out the water and fire stick and placed it in front of Madam Gong.
The heat and red light rushed to Madam Gong's front, making her smile brightly: "Good! Good! My son is really outstanding. Good!"
She was so happy that she was spinning around, but suddenly she remembered that Gong Mo was injured, and said with concern: "I heard from the subordinates that you just applied medicine, if you need anything, just tell mother.
This time you have done a great deed, if the ancestors knew about it, they would be happy for you."
Gong Mo nodded and said yes.
She added: "This trip went so smoothly thanks to Gu Zhifei's help. Otherwise, I'm afraid not only would I not be able to get the artifact, but my child's life would also be lost here."
Madam Gong's expression changed slightly, and she turned to look at Gu Zhifei with a grateful smile: "Thanks for taking care of Momo. I heard that you don't have a suitable weapon yet. Why don't you pick one from my Gong family's arsenal? Make do with it for a while, and replace it when you find a suitable one in the future."
Then, she turned to look at Li Xiaobai and said, "You and your sister are together, so you two can have company."
She spoke excitedly for a while, then turned around to make arrangements. A celebration banquet would be held tomorrow, and she asked Gu Zhifei and Li Xiaobai to stay a few more nights.
The two of them couldn't refuse, so they agreed.
But just as they were about to leave, they heard Madam Gong turn around and ask Gong Mo: "We got the things, but where's the key?"
That red gem is the heirloom of the Gong family. Even if the treasure is taken out, Madam Gong does not want to lose the key to open the door.
Gu Zhifei's breathing stagnated, and they all forgot about this most crucial issue.
Gong Mo's expression remained unchanged. She said, "Perhaps this water and fire stick is the treasure that holds the cave in place. As soon as we took it out, the cave collapsed and the key was destroyed."
Madam Gong frowned slightly, but soon relaxed: "It's ruined, so what? The most important thing is this water and fire stick, it's good enough for you to get it."
Gong Mo nodded, and then took Gu Zhifei and others back to her room.
Halfway through the journey, Gu Zhifei said to her: "Thank you so much for this time."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Gong Mo smiled: "I should be the one thanking you. Let's not be polite. I'll get two jars of good wine tonight and we can celebrate together."
Gu Zhifei nodded in agreement. What she was more concerned about now was what changes had taken place in her head seal.
