Chapter 2299: Chapter 654: Mr. Yi, Come Home (2)
The breeze blew through the window lattice into the room, and the crisp sound of the wind chimes echoed in the air. Anpei Lan sat in the shadows, watching the old man’s figure gradually disappear, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Uncle, we can’t go back..." came a long sigh.
...
An Yiqing’s recovery was rapid; it only took three to four days for her injuries to heal almost completely. Apart from being slightly weak, one couldn’t tell this girl had just fought with the Orochi.
Watching An Yiqing devour food at the dining table, the Gu Family’s old ancestor clicked his tongue in wonder, as if looking at a monster.
"Little freak, really a little freak! Such severe wounds healed in three days?!"
An Yiqing secretly chuckled in her heart, with the Ancient Space and the Spirit Spring, her recovery was naturally swift.
"Girl, do you have some treasure? Let the old man have a look?" The Gu Family’s old ancestor said like a good pal.
An Yiqing gave him a cool glance, "Old ancestor, since it’s a treasure, there’s no reason to let people carelessly view it, right?"
The old ancestor choked, glaring for a long time but couldn’t find a retort. He circled around the spot, helpless against An Yiqing, and could only curse Gu Yelin a few times to feel relieved.
An Yiqing smiled with curved brows, not bothering to defend Gu Yelin. After all, it was his family’s old ancestor, let him curse if he wants to.
Finally putting down the bowl and chopsticks, An Yiqing satisfiedly touched her belly and burped, then began to usher people out.
"Old ancestor, my body has almost healed, you should hurry back to help Ah Lin break through."
The Gu Family’s old ancestor pouted, slanted a look at her, "Use and toss aside, just like that boy."
An Yiqing twitched the corner of her mouth, well, she never had a good character in his eyes!
The old ancestor was just speaking casually, naturally not really angry. He glanced at the girl’s blushing face and slowly stood up.
"I know you have that boy on your mind, I won’t tease you, this old man will go back now."
An Yiqing froze for a moment, then, her expression turning serious, she rose and respectfully performed a junior’s salute, "This time, the old ancestor came hurriedly, I haven’t had the chance to serve tea. When I return to Xuandu City, I’ll personally go to the rear mountain and serve tea to the three old ancestors as a gesture of my gratitude."
"We’re all family, no need for thanks." The Gu Family’s old ancestor waved his hand casually, but there was a smile in his eyes, "The little girl is very good, the old man will go back and wait for your tea ceremony! I’m off!"
As the words fell, when An Yiqing rose again, the figure of the Gu Family’s old ancestor was already gone.
Oh my, that speed, too fast!
The Gu Family’s old ancestor left, and Bali led the Blood Clan Squad away too. Xia Hau hurried back to Xuandu City seeing An Yiqing was fine. Under An Yiqing’s careful treatment, the Thirteen Blood Generals’ injuries recovered quickly; in a few days, they were back to bouncing around. This made Arhan, who was frightened by their injuries at the time, repeatedly call them invincible little cockroaches.
On this day, An Yiqing and Arhan were in the study having a private discussion.
"Arhan Uncle, this is the Deed of Land Transfer, have a look."
Arhan looked at the document on the table, his hands trembling slightly. He picked up the document and opened it, "Yes, it’s real! Xiao Qing, I didn’t expect you really got it! I truly admire you!" Arhan exclaimed, what could this girl not accomplish? Sneaking into the Black Forest to seize the Deed of Land Transfer, withstanding the Church’s Archbishop in Red and twenty Onmyoji, even slaying the mythical Orochi.
Once again, Arhan felt that his original decision was correct.
"Forty percent of the ownership rights in the Black Horn Region are secured, the rest will depend on you, Arhan Uncle." An Yiqing appeared modest, cleverly smiling. The land ownership was secured, but whether it could be sustained was another matter. Moreover, the management and distribution of the land and the armed forces were critical. In these matters, Arhan, as the leader of the Doufei Army, was more knowledgeable than her.
"Rest assured, Xiao Qing, I won’t let your efforts go to waste. The Doufei Independent Army might lack other skills, but in warfare, they’re unparalleled. If anyone dares to cause trouble on our turf, I’ll show them the prowess of the First Independent Corps of Country Fei!"
An Yiqing smiled, Arhan smiled too, and the two chatted in the study for over two hours before stepping out together.
"Next will be a tough battle, Arhan Uncle, make sure to gather your strength and watch yourself ascend to that position."
