Chapter 1743: Chapter 1742: As If Several Centuries Have Passed
Gu Qiaoqiao once again placed her fingers on his shoulder like before, transferring a bit of Spiritual Energy into him. The indescribable and mysterious aura inside seemed to enjoy this orthodox Spiritual Energy, so it accepted it without any resistance.
Then Chu Chengfeng’s body, like before, gradually returned to normal, his face no longer flushed, and his skin no longer burning.
At this moment, Chu Chengfeng’s tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed as well. Gu Qiaoqiao withdrew her hand. Now Chu Chengfeng had returned to normal again.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked toward the door, which was empty now, it seemed that Xiao Wen was still sitting on the sofa, appearing to have received quite a shock earlier.
She and Xiao Wen were both from the Mystic Sect, and at this moment, they had almost the same thought: Xiao Wen and Chu Chengfeng should not come into close contact for the time being, otherwise there would be problems.
But this was really too bizarre.
How could it happen so suddenly?
Logically, this shouldn’t be the case.
But how many things in this world are as they should be, or as expected? There are countless things that defy theory.
Gu Qiaoqiao had accepted the fact that the two couldn’t have close contact, but now she needed to wake up Chu Chengfeng and ask him what had happened.
However, before doing that, she needed to check on Xiao Wen.
Gu Qiaoqiao headed out of the room again, back and forth quite a few times, standing at the door and looking at Xiao Wen sitting on the sofa. Xiao Wen looked back at her, and Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, "Chu Chengfeng is back to normal again..."
"... Qiaoqiao, you wake him up and ask what’s going on, I won’t go in..."
At this moment, Xiao Wen’s face showed an unprecedented look of defeat and dejection, as if the reality had really struck her hard.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression was the same because she knew what such a thing meant.
But the most important thing now was to find out what had happened to Chu Chengfeng.
Gu Qiaoqiao patted Xiao Wen’s shoulder, "You just sit here, I’ll go ask what’s going on..."
Saying that, Gu Qiaoqiao returned to the room where Chu Chengfeng usually rested and worked.
Gu Qiaoqiao approached Chu Chengfeng, but she didn’t act rashly, knowing something must have triggered this change.
Recalling the story of Yun Luo that Uncle mentioned, an inexplicable unease rose in Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart.
She carefully observed Chu Chengfeng’s expression and complexion. Although his eyes were closed, she could confirm this was Chu Chengfeng, no change.
No replacement!
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t hesitate anymore, flicking a finger, a slightly perceptible white light turned into a small light ball, striking straight at the center of Chu Chengfeng’s brow.
Then she saw Chu Chengfeng’s brow twitch, and after that, he slowly opened his eyes.
At the moment he opened his eyes, Gu Qiaoqiao knew she wasn’t seeing things. She clearly saw two red glows flash in his eyes, and she couldn’t help but clench her fists tightly at her sides.
Chu Chengfeng’s gaze was initially perplexed, quietly staring at a spot on the ceiling, seemingly contemplating, recalling something, confirming something, as if in that brief moment, his thoughts, his heart, and himself had traversed several centuries.
Finally, after a moment, he turned to look at Gu Qiaoqiao standing by, his eyes flashed through many emotions, but he still said lightly, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Gu Qiaoqiao’s tightly clenched fist slowly relaxed. This address "sister-in-law" set her at ease, so she didn’t mind Chu Chengfeng’s indifferent tone.
This brat doesn’t know what he’s thinking, speaking to her in such a tone.
But fortunately, everything was normal, and by this time Chu Chengfeng had sat up, having only taken off his shoes to lie on the bed.
He glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao again, his eyes full of confusion, seemingly not understanding why Gu Qiaoqiao was here.
While putting on his shoes, he asked, "Sister-in-law, why did you suddenly come to the beef noodle shop, where are Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei? Speaking of which, I haven’t seen them for a long time, need to visit sometime, can’t let them forget me, I am their real uncle..."
While speaking, Chu Chengfeng had put on his shoes and stood on the floor of the room, glancing around, Gu Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth, unable to stop herself from asking, "Are you looking for Xiao Wen?"
Chu Chengfeng noticeably hesitated at Gu Qiaoqiao’s words, frowning, "Xiao Wen, who is Xiao Wen?"
Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart sank suddenly as if falling into a deep abyss, and she couldn’t help but clench her hand once again, wanting to punch him to wake him up.
But she saw that Chu Chengfeng still had a different look than usual, and if you looked closely at his eyes, there was a hint of defiance, a condescending posture over all beings, and even some coldness like snow, something never seen before in Chu Chengfeng’s eyes.
In Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes, Chu Chengfeng is Qin Yize’s good brother, sunny and cheerful, sometimes slick but tactful, someone with good business sense, although he seldom talks about family, she knows his family doesn’t affect him much, like every child from a wealthy family.
In this respect, he and Du Tian are completely different.
So none of these emotions have ever shown in Chu Chengfeng’s eyes and expressions before.
Moreover, his words just now also startled Gu Qiaoqiao.
Gu Qiaoqiao said casually, "Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei are at another courtyard, Ah Ze left this morning..."
Chu Chengfeng paused, then nodded, "Hmm, I know, Ah Ze called me last night, he’ll be gone for at least three weeks this time, sister-in-law if you need anything just tell me, don’t hesitate."
This Chu Chengfeng had returned to his usual demeanor, but Gu Qiaoqiao felt colder and more alarmed, and she asked again, "Don’t you remember Xiao Wen?"
For the second time, Chu Chengfeng heard this name, rubbing the back of his head and frowning, "Sister-in-law, what exactly do you want to say? Who is Xiao Wen, is it a man or a woman, what happened?"
And just at this moment, someone suddenly appeared at the door, it was Xiao Wen!
She had composed herself, looking as usual, but her expression was somewhat unusual, her hand tightly clutching Gu Qiaoqiao’s handkerchief, seemingly seeking some strength from it, but her expression was calm, obviously having heard Chu Chengfeng’s words just now.
