Chapter 63: Chapter 62 Carving Can Also Be Slow Motion “` So, Lin Qinghuan must have been certain that a country bumpkin like me could never make it, huh. She asked slowly, “And the second option?” “The second option is less troubling, just leave Qin Yize and be free from all the hassles…” Finished speaking, Lin Qinghuan playfully stuck out her tongue, “Sister-in-law, I’m a straightforward person, having said so much, you better not tell Ah Ze.” “Don’t worry, I won’t tell him. But you’ve mentioned quite a lot, and it does seem to make sense. However, there’s a saying, ‘Where you marry is where you’ll live.’ I’m destined to follow Qin Yize, and it’s not likely that I’ll return these few years. So, it’s a pity that I won’t be able to verify what you’ve said for now…” ... Lin Qinghuan’s hand holding the potato peeler tightened, pulling up the corners of her mouth into a smile. However, that smile was very profound. “Isn’t it said in martial arts novels that where there are people, there is an itinerant world? Trust me, sister-in-law, I’m not trying to scare you.” Lin Qinghuan’s words were deeply meaningful. Gu Qiaoqiao picked up a fruit knife and weighed it in her hand, suddenly feeling as if her mind power and the knife had become one. There was something resembling a target on one wall of the kitchen, presumably for Xiao Yuan to play with while cooking. Without thinking, she threw the fruit knife at the target and discovered with surprise that the knife hit the bullseye perfectly, without the slightest miss. Go to ????????????????????.co Lin Qinghuan’s eyes suddenly widened. Gu Qiaoqiao looked at her with a smile that curved her eyes, “I’m not someone who gets scared easily. You better not mess with me, or I definitely won’t let you get away with it, no matter who you are!” After a long moment, Lin Qinghuan seemed to find her voice, which was somewhat dry, “Sister-in-law, have you trained before?” “Mm, Qin Yize personally taught me. How about that, pretty impressive, right…” Saying this, Gu Qiaoqiao walked forward, pulled out the fruit knife with a bit of force, wiped it off, and without giving Lin Qinghuan another thought, picked up a carrot. She wanted to see if she could carve the ingredient. Lin Qinghuan was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke up, “Sister-in-law, you’re truly impressive…” “Hehe…” Gu Qiaoqiao blinked, “I was just teasing you. This is a society governed by law, after all. We all have to abide by the rules and laws, and fighting and killing are not good.” After that, Gu Qiaoqiao made the first cut into the carrot. Immediately, boundless joy surged in her heart. It seemed she could carve, although she wasn’t sure if she could use a carving knife. At that moment, Gu Qiaoqiao was eager, wishing she could fly back home and try it right away. What followed could be described as harmony and joy. And Lin Qinghuan was someone even more astute and scheming than Bai Yun. How could she possibly court her own demise. Especially under Qin Yize’s icy gaze. Therefore, the meal was a peaceful one, with Gu Qiaoqiao’s culinary skills leaving Chu Chengfeng and Xiao Yuan sprawled in their chairs, not wanting to move. And Chu Chengfeng’s gaze became incredibly eager; he even suggested that Gu Qiaoqiao open a restaurant in the Imperial Capital, assuring her that the business would flourish and make a fortune. However, this idea was promptly shot down by a few scolding words from Old Grand Master Qin. After finishing the meal, just as Gu Qiaoqiao was about to clean up, Xiao Yuan stopped her. And in this regard, his actions were extremely quick and meticulously neat and tidy. Gu Qiaoqiao was happy to have the free time. When she got home, she couldn’t wait to take out the carving knife, sat in front of the desk, and with a nervous heart, made her cut. A surge of ecstasy suddenly filled her heart. It moved, she could carve! She then hurriedly started carving the Eighteen Arhats according to her previous plan. But as she carved, she realized something was amiss. That was the speed was slow. Very slow, extremely slow, although with Heart and Mind as One and full of Spiritual Energy, each cut seemed as slow as the slow-motion scenes in movies. At this rate, it would be ages before she finished the carving. So, Gu Qiaoqiao kept comforting herself, this was better than not being able to move at all. In the following days, Gu Qiaoqiao was pleasantly surprised to find the speed of her carving was gradually increasing. “` Although the progress was painfully slow. In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth day of the first lunar month. These past few days, Qin Yize had been quite mysterious, rarely seen during the day, and returning late at night. Meanwhile, Gu Qiaoqiao had mailed off the items that needed to be sent, and also prepared the gifts for her family. However, she had less than one hundred yuan left in her hand. Thankfully, after almost working tirelessly, the Eighteen Arhats were finally carved. Just like the first piece, they were exquisitely crafted and breathtakingly ingenious. The Eighteen Arhats were so lifelike they could make your heart tremble. Moreover, a spiritual energy that only Gu Qiaoqiao could see lingered on the surface. Wearing this thing could prolong one’s life. seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Gu Qiaoqiao pondered over how exactly to sell it. With her skills in tow, Gu Qiaoqiao knew she had plenty of time ahead of her, and she would carve an amulet for every family member to wear. But now that she was short on money, she reluctantly had to sell it. Gu Qiaoqiao calculated the time; it took her six days, almost eighteen hours each day. By this calculation, selling it for eight hundred yuan would definitely be a loss. However, she still needed to test the waters. By now it was already past eight in the evening, so Gu Qiaoqiao simply carved two simple amulets out of olive pits to give to Grandma Qin and Old Lady Qin as a way of repaying their kindness. The next day, Gu Qiaoqiao once again visited Yubao Square. Seeing her enter, Zhang Yi was momentarily stunned, then smiled and asked Gu Qiaoqiao what brought her there. “Boss Zhang, I’ve carved an Eighteen Arhats pendant, please give me a price…” she said as she was about to take out the small box containing the olive pendant. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi’s expression changed, and through gritted teeth he said, “Don’t take it out, I won’t look.” Huh? He won’t look? What does that mean? Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand holding the box froze, “Boss Zhang, what do you mean? I don’t quite understand.” A flurry of emotions — hesitation, struggle, reluctance — flashed across Zhang Yi’s face, ending in helplessness, “Miss Xiao Qiao, what I mean is I’m not buying it anymore.” “Not buying anymore?” “Yeah.” “Is it that no one here will buy it?” Gu Qiaoqiao’s face grew cold as she took a meaningful look around. At that moment, some people were bargaining with the staff of Yubao Square over a piece of blue and white porcelain. Zhang Yi felt a pang of guilt, and looking at Gu Qiaoqiao’s pocket, his heart felt as if it was being scratched by a cat. An Eighteen Arhats pendant, which means that he had carved Eighteen Arhats onto an olive pit. How did he do it? What would it look like? But he didn’t dare to look, for fear that if he saw it and fell in love with it, what should he do then? Zhang Yi steeled his heart, “I’m not buying it, Yubao Square will not take your items anymore.” “Why?” Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but feel a bit angry. “Child, don’t ask anymore, leave, go elsewhere, your things will sell,” he urged. “But you should at least give me a clear reason,” Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t leave but pressed her emotions and asked calmly.
