Chapter 2095: Chapter 2093: Intertwined Space-Time, Transformed Lives (41)

In terms of carving skills, these two Qiaoqiao are exactly the same. You could even say that the Qiaoqiao in this reborn world has improved her carving techniques, and the Gu Qiaoqiao in the other world has not fallen behind either. They are evenly matched.

Half an hour later, Gu Qiaoqiao was finally stunned—better to say pleasantly surprised. She suddenly stood up from the table so fast she even knocked over the chair. She was gripping the carving knife in her hand, and in front of her was a lifelike jade ornament.

Of course, this jade was also provided by Little Uncle.

They were all the most basic Raw Stones, but still genuine jade—the difference lay only in quality and shape.

Yet now, in Gu Qiaoqiao’s hands, they were being put to a different use.

She was carving a peony blossom, because this piece of jade had natural overlapping layers that already hinted at the outline of a peony. Its color was white tinged with red, making the whole jade look charming and adorable.

And once the stone was carved into a blooming peony, it became even more beautiful, so beautiful that people simply couldn’t look away. That included the carver herself, Gu Qiaoqiao. At the side, Little Uncle’s eyes were full of gratification and satisfaction.

He’d said it before: no matter which Qiaoqiao it is, she is the pride of the Gu Family and will never let the Gu Family down—awakening her bloodline in the shortest time, mastering the technique of carving with Spiritual Energy in the shortest time.

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least half a month for Qiaoqiao to carve this peony flower; that was already considered very fast. But now she had taken only half an hour—strictly speaking, twenty-eight minutes. That was truly miraculous.

This wild joy washed away much of Gu Qiaoqiao’s earlier bleak despair. She seemed to have stopped dwelling on that matter, just like a child who has just tasted candy, completely captivated by the sweets before them. The child loves the candy so much, they line up each piece in front of their eyes and see nothing else. At this very moment, Gu Qiaoqiao was exactly like that.

Gu Qiaoqiao lightly probed for a moment, then calmly withdrew her Divine Sense. Good—Qiaoqiao’s gray aura of death had already faded a great deal.

Most of the time, Gu Junbai follows the arrangement of fate. But sometimes, if fate itself begins to change, he has to change along with it.

That other world still has to continue. Awakening Qiaoqiao’s bloodline there and giving her the ability to see into this other world—maybe Qiaoqiao will develop a trace of attachment to that world. Even the slightest attachment will affect several people.

You could call it a chain reaction.

If the two Qiaoqiaos each return to their own tracks, and if the Qiaoqiao before him still chooses to give up her life, then the one affected next will be Qin Yize.

Qin Yize would surely be plunged into unbearable pain by such a choice from Qiaoqiao.

He had been carefully managing everything, only to end up with this result—how could he possibly accept it?

So he would likely follow the original track and die in depression.

The second to be affected would be Gu Qingfeng, the Old Patriarch Gu. He didn’t know how far that other Qiaoqiao had gotten. After all, with two separate timelines in the way, he truly didn’t have the ability to link them. But he believed that with Qiaoqiao’s abilities and her temperament, she would certainly resolve the matter before her in the shortest possible time.

She would definitely leave a sliver of life for this Qiaoqiao.

Which is to say, she would think of every way to save Gu Qingfeng’s life, let him live well, and live on to take good care of the Qiaoqiao in that world. Besides, according to the timeline, Gu Qingfeng is alive. So if Qiaoqiao goes back and still chooses death, Gu Qingfeng won’t go on living either. The ones affected next will be the Qin Family.

The Qiaoqiao in that world will surely repay every grudge and avenge every wrong; she will not let any evildoer go. But she will also think of those few remaining relatives.

Especially the people of Stone Town’s Lian Family Village.

So even though Lian Family Grandma has long passed away, Qiaoqiao’s eldest and younger uncles from the Lian Family, as well as her cousin, are still alive. According to the timeline, Qiaoqiao’s cousin Lian Chen is exactly eighteen this year.

In that world, their lives must be very hard. Qiaoqiao will definitely try to change their fate, change their lives, and she will surely keep her little cousin by her side. So if this Qiaoqiao goes back and still chooses death, then yet another long chain of people will be affected.

If she still chooses death, then everything that other Qiaoqiao has done will lose its meaning.

Though they are the same person, at this point, due to the loss of control, she has become two souls. He feels the same toward both of them—they are both Gu Family blood. He wants them both to live well.

The efforts of that Qiaoqiao must not be wasted by this Qiaoqiao!

Once everything returns to the proper track, the Qiaoqiao before him will, after going back, continue to live strong and well. After all, in some situations, living is far more difficult than dying.

Gu Junbai hopes that before everything returns to its proper track, this Qiaoqiao will figure all of this out. That’s why the awakening of her bloodline is extremely important to her. Once the bloodline is opened, it also opens another door to a world for Qiaoqiao.

Gu Junbai’s heart settled a little. Sure enough, everything was more or less as he had expected. The Qiaoqiao before him had already been captivated by the Spiritual Energy at her fingertips. She sat back down in the chair, took up the carving knife, and picked one of the stones he’d just taken out of his storage pouch to continue carving.

You could say she was wholly absorbed, mind free of distractions.

A trace of admiration flashed in Gu Junbai’s eyes. The Gu Family’s bloodline truly is extraordinary. Even in a time as extreme as this, once they decide to do something, they can throw themselves into it very quickly and do their utmost to make it the best it can be.

So at this moment, Gu Junbai felt proud and full of self-respect, and his eyes were filled with relief.

Time slipped by unnoticed. Gu Junbai sat on the sofa drinking tea. Another half hour later, Qiaoqiao completed another piece. This time, she had carved a cluster of grapes.

This piece of stone was purple. The moment she held it, Qiaoqiao knew it was brimming with Spiritual Energy inside. She hadn’t expected Little Uncle to have so many things; she had no idea where he got them. Maybe, just like in the mythic novels, he had some kind of magical treasure.

By now, the eyes of Gu Qiaoqiao, once full of dead stillness, had gradually regained a bit of light.

Gu Junbai spoke, "Qiaoqiao, now that your bloodline has been awakened, your fingers naturally carry Spiritual Energy. This Spiritual Energy is the purest between Heaven and Earth, you could say inexhaustible, because we ourselves exist under this Heaven and Earth. Although this world doesn’t have much Spiritual Energy, the number of Mystic Sect people is extremely small, so there’s more than enough for us to use. In the coming days, Little Uncle is going to teach you Sky-drawing Talisman..."

Gu Qiaoqiao put down the carving knife in her hand and looked at Little Uncle in surprise, asking somewhat puzzled, "Little Uncle, Sky-drawing Talisman?"
