Chapter 263 Gongsun Qiuwei: Using Dragon Heart Tree as Bait
Early that morning, when Qi Gui and the others gathered in the living room to discuss where to go, Gongsun Qiubai was the first to arrive.
The two sides exchanged greetings for a while, with Xia Zixuan mainly communicating with him as the representative.
When Gongsun Qiubai proposed to lead everyone to visit the entire island, Shu Xiaoman happened to be there.
Instead of the ambiguous feeling of getting married, there was an invisible awkwardness when the two met, and this awkwardness instantly turned into tension after Gongsun Qiuwei arrived.
Gongsun Qiuwei first saluted to a few people, her eyes vaguely swept over Qi Gui, and the next second she turned to Shu Xiaoman with a gentle smile on her face.
"Hey, our bride-to-be, why do you have time to stay here instead of busying yourself with the wedding? I remember you have to try on clothes and makeup today, and check the procedures, right?"
Shu Xiaoman smiled reluctantly: "Thank you for your reminder, Miss. I came here to take a look because I was afraid of neglecting our distinguished guests. I will go back to try on the clothes right away."
"Go back quickly, or Madam will be anxious. You don't have to worry about the distinguished guest. I will be with him."
"But Dad said..."
Gongsun Qiuwei glared at Shu Xiaoman, and she was so frightened that she fell silent.
"I will report this to my father myself, or do you think that I am not qualified enough to entertain distinguished guests as the eldest daughter of the Gongsun family?"
"No, no, no, I don't think so!"
"Why don't you go back quickly? Besides, how can the bride and groom stay together before the wedding? Wouldn't it be a joke for the guests if they were to show up all day long?"
"I'm sorry! I'll be back right away!"
Shu Xiaoman smiled apologetically at Qi Gui and the others, then left in a hurry.
Qi Gui and Xia Zixuan looked at each other, and both saw confusion in each other's eyes. Shu Xiaoman was so calm when she saw Gongsun Qiuwei in the main hall yesterday, why was she so different today?
But they didn't ask too many questions. After all, this was someone else's family affair, and interfering without permission would only make things worse.
"Brother has something to do soon and will leave at any time. If you don't mind, I will take you out for a walk?"
Ding Yurou and Yao Siyan were not in a position to refuse, and Xia Zixuan and Qi Gui were not opposed to it, so they followed Gongsun Qiuwei and left.
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Qiubai, who was supposed to be the elder brother, fell silent after his sister appeared. Apart from answering every question asked on the whole journey, he unknowingly became a person with a very low sense of presence, as if he would not attract people's attention if he suddenly left while walking.
The way their family got along with each other made Qi Gui and the others feel more and more weird, but they just kept it in their hearts.
Gongsun Qiuwei took them on a tour of several activity venues and gave them a detailed introduction to the activities. From her words, one could feel that she indeed had a profound foundation in medical practice and was very knowledgeable about all kinds of spiritual plants and medicinal materials.
Soon, Ding Yurou and Yao Siyan put aside their initial prejudices and began to discuss professional knowledge with Gongsun Qiuwei.
Qi Gui and Xia Zixuan followed silently behind, but the topic turned to him at some point.
Gongsun Qiuwei looked at him tenderly: "I heard from Sister Yurou that Fellow Daoist Qi also knows medical skills?"
Qi Guisu replied politely, "I only know a little bit. I have learned some from Sister Yurou on weekdays."
Gongsun Qiuwei smiled sweetly and said, "It's rare that Sister Yurou and Sister Siyan have such a good relationship with me. Fellow Daoist Qi also knows about spiritual plants and herbs, so I won't hide it. I have a dragon heart tree that is nearly ten thousand years old. It was transplanted from a secret place. Are you interested in seeing it?"
Yao Siyan exclaimed: "Dragon Heart Tree? Nearly ten thousand years old? Of course I have to see it!"
Ding Yurou hesitated for a moment: "Is it convenient for us to see such a rare thing?"
Gongsun Qiuwei smiled and said, "It's not inconvenient. No matter how precious the Dragon Heart Tree is, it's just a spiritual plant that can cure diseases and save lives. Besides, I believe that you are all upright gentlemen and will never do anything despicable."
Hearing her say this, Ding Yurou couldn't help but be moved. After getting Qi Gui's approval, she decided to go and watch.
Among the few people, only Xia Zixuan looked confused.
"Dragon Heart Tree? What is that? Why have I never heard of it?"
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it."
Yao Siyan was obviously unable to hide her excitement about being about to see the rare treasure, and she explained it to him enthusiastically.
“The Dragon Heart Tree, as the name suggests, is a spiritual tree that grows from the heart of a dragon after its death. It is still unknown whether there are real dragons in the divine and mortal worlds, so the Dragon Heart Tree is extremely rare in the world.”
At this time, Qi Gui felt the vibration of the Dragon Soul Sword in the Divine Palace. He remained calm on the surface, but in fact he continued to release spiritual power to calm it down, and finally made the Dragon Soul calm down again.
And Yao Siyan's explanation continued.
"The dragon heart tree is full of treasures. Its wood can resist any magical attack. The sap of the tree can be used to make bones white. Its leaves can make people's minds clear and can even cure diseases of being possessed by demons."
Xia Zixuan was surprised: "Is it really so magical? Then wouldn't the cultivation world no longer be afraid of going astray and becoming possessed by demons?"
Yao Siyan shook her head and denied his statement.
"The whole body of the Dragon Heart Tree, whether it is wood, sap or leaves, is non-renewable, which means that once it is plucked, no new ones will grow. So even if someone owns a Dragon Heart Tree, they generally won't let others know and will just hide it secretly for future use."
“It seems that the Dragon Heart Tree is indeed a rare treasure. No wonder there is no such spiritual plant in the entire divine and mortal world.”
Gongsun Qiuwei smiled softly: "I have heard of another version, I wonder if Sister Siyan knows it."
Yao Siyan immediately came close to her with interest: "What do you mean?"
"My father also heard this by chance. If the Dragon Heart Tree remains intact during its ten thousand years of growth, then at some point after ten thousand years, the top of the tree will bloom and bear fruit. That fruit is the owner of the heart - the dead dragon. In this way, it will be reborn from the dead."
Not only Xia Zixuan, but also Ding Yurou and Yao Siyan, who heard this legend for the first time, showed surprised expressions.
A hint of thought flashed across Qi Gui's eyes, then he turned his head slightly to glance at Gongsun Qiubai who was following behind him, and accurately caught the fear in his eyes.
He withdrew his gaze and became alert, intuitively feeling that the dragon heart tree must have something special going on.
The six people came to the courtyard where Gongsun Qiuwei lived, and the two disciples stationed at the door saluted respectfully.
When Qi Gui walked to the door, he was stunned for a moment almost imperceptibly, then turned around quickly and glanced behind him with sharp eyes.
Gongsun Qiubai, who was walking behind him, was confused by his sudden move: "What, what happened?"
After scanning the area to no avail, Qi Gui gave him an apologetic smile: "Sorry, maybe I was wrong."
Yao Siyan came back to her senses and burst out laughing: "Don't panic, this is his old habit. He felt like someone was following him all the way, and he always thought that person was his little master who was in seclusion in the sect. We are used to this kind of surprise."
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Qiubai looked at Qi Gui in disbelief, then smiled gently, stopped hesitating, and stepped into the door.
Gongsun Qiuwei, who was walking at the end, stopped in front of the door at some point, winked at the disciple beside her, and then stepped in.
The two disciples looked at each other, swords in hand, and walked cautiously towards each other.
