Chapter 402: Dilemma
In fact, the purpose of his words was just to find out why the master chose to destroy the ice silkworm among the four treasures, and whether there was any mystery in this.
But Gu Zhenhai took it seriously, and looked at Qingcheng with a very surprised gaze: "You actually want to destroy the merman's tears for the teacher?" ”
"Because this ice silkworm was painstakingly obtained by the junior sister, and the mermaid tears are in Changle Palace, if the master wants to destroy it, it is really easy to ......" Sensing that Gu Zhenhai's expression was very unsightly, Qingcheng hurriedly changed his words, "No, no, the apprentice didn't mean that, the apprentice wanted to say that there are many ways to prevent the treasure from appearing in the world, and it is not necessary to destroy the treasure." ”
"These four treasures are all left by ancient real people, it is really rare, if they are destroyed, they will no longer exist, and I hope that Master, you can think twice."
Under Qingcheng's repeated explanations, Gu Zhenhai's expression gradually improved.
"Qingcheng, you can rest assured, the teacher understands what you mean, and the teacher will make a decision after careful consideration."
"That's great!" Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. As long as Master doesn't want to destroy the treasure immediately, there are still many chances to save it.
"I'm tired all the way, let's go down and rest first!" Gu Zhenhai waved his hand and motioned to Qingcheng immediately.
"Yes, quit!" Qingcheng withdrew and pulled the door shut. But my heart was like a stone, and it was extremely heavy.
The master left the Ice Silkworm with the intention of destroying the Ice Silkworm, or taking the Ice Silkworm away, so that the junior sister could not get the treasure. How can I let my sister know about this matter? But the junior sister asked him to come and ask, he had to give her an answer!
Besides, the master has already had such thoughts, and the situation has become more and more serious, if he continues to hide it, he is afraid that he will harm the junior sister. But if you tell the truth to your sister, you will betray your master.
He never thought that he would be in such a situation, with a master on one side and a junior sister on the other, what a dilemma!
He had to think carefully about how to choose, how to get the best of both worlds.
For this reason, Qingcheng quickly returned to his residence to listen to the rain pavilion, and after instructing the maid to say that he had rested and not let anyone disturb him, he locked himself in the house.
But no matter how afraid of the scene you face, there is still a moment to face, especially Gu Wanwan, who is waiting for his reply all the time.
At noon on the second day, Gu Wanwan knocked on the door of Qingcheng.
"Didn't you say I'm resting and not letting anyone disturb me?" Qingcheng originally thought it was a maidservant, so his tone was very unfriendly, but after opening the door, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Gu Wanwan standing outside the door with food.
Then he said embarrassedly: "Why are you junior sister?" I thought it was Tsuime! I'm sorry, please come in. ”
"Senior brother, don't say I'm sorry, I'm disturbing your rest, and the person who should say I'm sorry should be me." Gu Wanwan said with a smile on her face as she entered the house.
She walked over to the table, put down the food in her hand, and said, "But I'm not here to disturb you!" I've brought you food, and I've heard that you've been asleep since yesterday, so you must be hungry, right? Hurry up and eat it while it's hot! ”
"Thank you, junior sister!" Looking at the meals on the table that were set aside by Gu Wanwan one by one, the fragrant smell lingered on the tip of his nose, and all the hunger came up. He didn't say anything polite to Gu Wanwan, picked up the chopsticks and ate a lot.
Gu Wanwan sat on the side and looked at Qingcheng's hungry appearance, but tasted the food she sent very elegantly and smiled with satisfaction.
It wasn't until Qingcheng finished all the meals and looked up that he noticed that Gu Wanwan's smiling eyes were staring at him without blinking.
Qingcheng hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, but Gu Wanwan still maintained that posture, which made him very puzzled: "Senior sister, why are you looking at me like this?" Is there something dirty on my face? ”
"No, I just wanted to ask...... Brother, have you eaten enough? Do you want to eat anything more? I'm going to talk to the kitchen. Seeing that Qingcheng wiped out all the food she sent, she really doubted in her heart that he was really full?
"No, no, I'm already full, thank you, junior sister!" Qingcheng sincerely thanked again. If it weren't for the fact that his sister remembered him and brought him lunch, he might not have been able to eat this lunch until the evening.
"Senior brother, you are so polite to me, do you still take me as a junior sister?" Gu Wanwan raised her eyes at him, because she thought that they were all her own senior brothers, so she didn't beat around the bush with him much, "Actually, senior brother, I still want to ask you about your father......
As soon as her words came to this, Qingcheng, who was drinking water, squirted out all the water in his mouth and sprinkled it all over the ground.
"What's wrong? Is the tea too hot? As he spoke, Gu Wanwan's hand had already attached the teapot, but what he touched was a cold feeling, "No, it's so cold, why are you choking?" ”
"I ...... Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Qingcheng coughed again as soon as he spoke.
Gu Wanwan hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the back, frowning and reminding him: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll talk about it later!" ”
In fact, as far as Qingcheng is concerned, he would rather cough like this all the time than face Gu Wanwan's question. But he also felt tired of pretending to be around.
simply opened his mouth: "Senior sister, in fact, the master ......" He really wanted to tell Gu Wanwan the truth, but when the words came to his mouth, he really didn't want to betray the master.
"What's wrong with Dad?" Gu Wanwan looked at Qingcheng expectantly. She also reminded him before Qingcheng went to find Gu Zhenhai yesterday, so he definitely wouldn't forget to ask those questions.
"Master, he has seen the ice silkworm once before, and now he is very happy to see the ice silkworm again, so he wants you to leave the ice silkworm and let him watch it for two more days. There's no other reason, don't guess! In the end, he chose to help Master consummate. In addition to the fact that he didn't want to betray his master, he also didn't want to see his master and sister split.
"Really? But you don't have to watch it for so long! Isn't Daddy really doing any special research observations? She knew in her heart that it was so!
"Of course not, the ice silkworm is an extremely cold thing, no matter who touches it, it will be frozen instantly. Master is just looking at it, but you don't know what Master is like yet, and in Master's eyes, all treasures must never get tired of seeing. Qingcheng continued to explain patiently and softly, he really hoped that everyone would always be a picture of peaceful coexistence.
"So, Dad, he's not going to return the ice silkworm to me?" Gu Wanwan's words were full of disappointment. When she originally pointed to Qingcheng to find Gu Zhenhai, she helped her get the ice silkworm back by the way.
I don't know why, she always feels that the ice silkworm will feel safer by her side.
"When Master and his old man finish watching it, I will definitely return the treasure to you! In fact, the junior sister didn't have to worry so much, the treasure was very safe by the master's side. Qingcheng smiled and said to her, in fact, when he said this, he sighed in his heart.
He's not good at lying, but now he has to hide it from his sister.
"Yes! It doesn't matter if Dad doesn't give me the Ice Silkworm, as long as he takes me to hunt for treasures. Gu Wanwan figured it out at once. Even if she already has three treasures on her body, she is still short of the merman tears in Gu Zhenhai's hands! As long as he can take himself to find the treasure, what does it matter who the treasure is?
"Yes, junior sister, you can rest assured!" The smile on Qingcheng's face was barely maintained, he never knew that it was so difficult to laugh out loud.
Is it really good for him to lie to his junior sister like this? What if Master insisted on going his own way and really wanted to destroy the Ice Silkworm? Senior sister will definitely hate him to death if she knows it afterwards, and Brother Bai, finding the treasure and reviving the Xiliang Women's Kingdom has always been the wish of the two of them!
No, he couldn't watch his beloved sister and best friend see him like an enemy, he had to stop it.
If you want to stop this matter, you must convince the master as soon as possible, thinking of this, Qingcheng couldn't sit still, and after sending Gu Wanwan away, he went straight to Gu Zhenhai's study.
After leaving Tingyuxuan, Gu Wanwan took the plate and walked in the direction of the kitchen, wanting to bring some pastries back to eat.
But halfway through, she suddenly remembered something. Before going to Qingcheng, she went to visit Wuyan, and Wuyan asked herself to transfer the message to Qingcheng, and asked Qingcheng to go and see her after waking up, how could she forget about this matter?
Gu Wanwan patted her forehead and was very annoyed, and hurriedly turned around and ran in the direction of Tingyuxuan, but when she arrived at Tingyuxuan's door, she saw Qingcheng walking out in a hurry.
At that time, she was standing behind a big tree, and she could see Qingcheng, but Qingcheng couldn't see her.
She wanted to stop Qingcheng, but she was stunned by the look on Qingcheng's face.
Senior brother is in such a hurry, where are you going? And he seems to be preoccupied, could it be that something is wrong?
What kind of thing makes the senior brother who has always been smiling on his face look like this? Out of such curiosity, Gu Wanwan followed behind Qingcheng and followed him to a secluded place.
Isn't this Gu Zhenhai's study? When Gu Wanwan came to her senses, Qingcheng had already pushed the door in!
She just talked to Qingcheng about Gu Zhenhai, Qingcheng turned around and came here, is there any connection between the two?
Gu Wanwan leaned over cautiously, Gu Zhenhai and Qingcheng were both masters with sensitive ears, and she didn't dare to make a sound. Fortunately, she is also a deaf person, and she can hear the sound of the house without having to put her ear to the window.
"What? You don't agree to do that for the sake of the teacher? Gu Zhenhai wrinkled his brows and looked at the rarely rebellious Qingcheng, "Why?" Why did you wake up and come to your teacher and say such things? ”
He really didn't expect Qingcheng to suddenly come to him and say that he firmly disagreed with his idea of wanting to destroy the treasure.
"Master, the apprentice has thought about it carefully. This ice silkworm was obtained by my sister with a lot of hard work, you must not say that it will be destroyed! Senior Sister and Brother Bai's lifelong wishes depend on this Ice Silkworm, if you destroy the Ice Silkworm, it is equivalent to killing them......"
Qingcheng's words had just said this, when he heard the sound of breaking things falling to the ground outside the door.
