Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1413 - 1412: Entering the Gu Family’s Secret Chamber

Chapter 1413: Chapter 1412: Entering the Gu Family’s Secret Chamber

When Gu Qiaoqiao heard the sound, she quickly turned around.

Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t determine if, during the day when Ouyang Rong was conscious, she could see her invisibility, so she couldn’t take the risk.

At this moment, the voice of Ouyang Rong came through, "Have you found the cook I asked you to find?"

"Miss, it’s all arranged. They’ll start work tomorrow."

"I really shouldn’t have moved out early. I should have waited until you cleaned up before moving in. It’s too dirty and messy here."

"Miss, we’ve found the best hotel nearby for you. You can stay there for now. In three days, everything will be ready here."

"Hmm, that’s a pretty good arrangement. Otherwise, I really can’t stand staying here. What a dirty place."

This was the very disdainful voice of Ouyang Rong.

"Miss, cars aren’t easy to buy these days, so we’ll have to rent a car for now. It’ll be here soon. We’ll first take you to the hotel, and then Ba Jiao and I will take care of things here."

After that, the other side of the wall fell silent.

Gu Qiaoqiao pressed closely against the other side of the wall, listening intently, and soon heard Ouyang Rong’s soft voice asking, "San Qi, don’t you have any way into the Gu Family’s secret chamber?"

Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. How could they target the Gu Family’s secret chamber so quickly?

San Qi’s deep but slightly hoarse voice slowly sounded, "Miss, the night before last, Ba Jiao and I went to the Gu Family’s secret chamber. It looks ordinary, but there are layers of formations. The most lethal thing is if an outsider tries to break in, the chamber’s mechanism will immediately activate, and the people and the tampered item inside will sink into the underground river, with no escape."

"Why is this secret chamber built so maliciously?" Ouyang Rong said angrily.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s lips curled with cold disdain. She had never seen such people before, stealing other people’s things while righteously complaining that their security was too good. How shameless can one be? It really expanded her horizons.

Over the years, Gu Qiaoqiao had encountered many shameless people, but at least they maintained a thin veneer of decency on the surface. Yet, this person had no boundaries, to a nauseating extent.

But at the same time, she understood why it was so easy to visit Lijing Ho that day, and why the neighboring room was so quiet. While she and Dongfang Yu went to Ouyang Rong’s room, Ba Jiao and San Qi were also heading to the Gu Family’s secret chamber.

Even though it was successful, a cold sweat still broke out on Gu Qiaoqiao’s back. It seemed that this group was determined to obtain the Gu Family’s "Hundred Miles of Mountains Map" at all costs.

Is there really a secret here?

Or is there someone who doesn’t want the Gu Family to do well and deliberately spread rumors, just like in those martial arts novels she had read, where rumors arise about a household possessing martial arts secrets, inviting the entire Itinerant World’s pursuit and leading to the annihilation of the family?

Could that be the reason?

Gu Qiaoqiao pondered secretly.

And just at this moment, the scene before her eyes disappeared, because the person she was looking for was found.

Gu Qiaoqiao still didn’t move. She knew without stepping out that there were two people standing against the opposite wall, doing something.

Soon, the sound of a car could be heard, and it quickly vanished down the road.

Ouyang Rong and the middle-aged man named San Qi had left.

Gu Qiaoqiao turned around and found no one at the doorway.

Gu Qiaoqiao stood in front of the courtyard’s main gate; the area was very quiet. After the Gu Garden was divided, the residents weren’t ordinary people, and it remained so today. Now, such courtyard houses were increasingly valuable in the Imperial Capital.

Ouyang Rong must have spent a lot on this house.

People like them, who love manipulation and forceful acquisition, must have plenty of money in hand.

Fortunately, she immediately discovered Ouyang Rong’s residence, so she could know herself and her enemy. Although she couldn’t claim to win every battle, Gu Qiaoqiao was confident she wouldn’t suffer losses.

Since she was here, leaving empty-handed felt unsatisfying.

Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a long time at the entrance. With the knowledge she possessed, she couldn’t set up formations, only a few spirit talismans, and she had used those that were available. However, if she learned a formation, it would be great.

By then, she could set up a formation that absorbed Heaven and Earth’s Foul Qi at the door, causing those entering and leaving to experience bad luck and misfortune.

Unfortunately, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t do it, and it seemed there was no such talisman in her memory.

The Gu Family Ancestor who taught her talismans must have been a kind-hearted person in his day.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the door disappointedly but suddenly had a clever idea. They had to touch this door when they came and went.

Especially since the door’s threshold needed to be stepped over every day.

Gu Qiaoqiao squatted down, examining this threshold.

She then placed her fingers on a Copper Nail embedded under the main door, beginning to guide the surrounding negative energy there, intending to store it in this Copper Nail. Unfortunately, because this was Gu Garden, originally a feng shui treasure chosen by the Gu Family Ancestors, and since it was also a residential area, the inhabitants were wealthy and lived well, free from murder incidents, there were very few negative emotions.

Nevertheless, even the little she could gather was enough to store in the Copper Nail.

Gu Qiaoqiao guided all that energy over, then removed her hand and stood up. After doing all this, she felt as though she’d vented half of her frustration.

Gu Qiaoqiao glanced around and walked briskly in the direction of Gu Garden.

If people do not offend me, I will not offend them. If people offend me, I must offend them. This is an eternal truth.

...

At the same moment.

Luo Er sat on his bedside, one leg wrapped in a bandage, with a deck of cards in front of him. He arranged them in a peculiar way, picked them out one by one, shuffled them, and finally turned all the cards face down. After a moment of contemplation, Luo Er drew one card and flipped it over, revealing the Ace of Spades.

The shape of the Ace, sharp, like a sword piercing his heart, as if burning his hand, Luo Er slammed the card viciously onto the pile.

For some reason, things had become increasingly difficult lately.

Originally, he thought finding Nie Luan would be a simple task, bringing him back quietly, then providing him Spiritual Energy to return to normal, using him to their advantage or, at the least, finding cooperation mutually beneficial.

Unfortunately, they were caught in a trap like sitting ducks.
