C2668 Suspicion(1)
Seeing Zhou Zhiqing casually following behind them, Little Four couldn't help but go forward.
"Aren't you worried?"
He asked in a soft voice.
"Hmm?"
Zhou Zhiqing was slightly startled, but immediately understood the meaning behind Little Four's words and smiled.
"Nothing to worry about. Not to mention that Young Master Fang and the others have already put Spirit Power on those boxes to protect them, it really takes some effort for an ordinary person to get rid of those treasures! As you just said, that Zhang Ao doesn't seem to have any Spirit Power, so the possibility of him being able to move those treasures is too low! All of a sudden..."
As Zhou Zhiqing spoke up to here, her expression couldn't help but become slightly gloomy.
"That money isn't mine. The reason why I brought it out was so that I could use it when I want to take revenge on the Yun Family in the future! I hadn't intended to bring it with me, but Yuan Yue and Mr. Fang had advised me, and I'd decided that it would be a real waste to leave it at the bottom of the sea, so I brought it out, whatever I might do in the future, to help orphans or lonely old people, or to donate the money to build a temple to pray for the people, which was better than having the money buried under the sea, so I had brought it with me! But... I've always thought I didn't own the money, so..."
When Zhou Zhiqing said this, she didn't continue. Since she didn't think the money was hers, she didn't feel anxious. If she lost it, she was sure that Mr. Fang would help her find it. If he didn't lose it, then it would be just nice.
"You..."
Hearing Zhou Zhiqing's words, Little Four suddenly choked. He looked at Zhou Zhiqing in front of him blankly, feeling that this girl in front of him was really kind and transparent. She was both a girl and a girl, and she had the same openness that made her see things because she had lived alone on the seafloor for so long, and these two very different personalities had appeared in her at the same time, and this made Little Four's heart want to tilt for her, and this was something Little Four couldn't control.
Seeing Little Four looking at her with such a passionate gaze, Zhou Zhiqing couldn't help but lower her head! In fact, she had more or less felt that Little Four's attitude towards her was a little different. Little Si'er was a good person, but she had just come up from the bottom of the sea. She didn't want to make any decisions about her life so quickly.
"I've been at the bottom of the sea for a long time. My thoughts may be a little stubborn, and my personality is too dull. I might have to adapt to this world again."
His words were euphemistic and skillful. It meant that she should not be in a hurry and let her get used to it again. Only then would she be able to make some selective decisions about her own life! The current her... did not have this ability yet!
Little Four finally realized that he had been too obvious. Zhou Zhiqing felt the pressure and was reminding him!
"Oh, yeah. When Miss Zhou returns to this world again, there must be a lot of places that you need to get used to. If there is anything you need my help with, you can tell me anytime and anywhere!"
Little Four adjusted his state of mind and looked at Zhou Zhiqing.
"That... The two of them who have been chatting with each other are here. Shall we get back to the main topic?"
Xiao Fei had been walking in front of Little Si'er and Zhou Zhiqing the entire time, and had intentionally or unintentionally heard everything that the two of them had said!
"Ah? Ah, alright!"
After being called by Xiao Fei, Little Si'er immediately blushed like someone who had drunk too much. He stole an embarrassed glance at Zhou Zhiqing, then grabbed Xiao Fei by the neck and almost forcefully led him forward!
"Why are you so talkative? Are you afraid of being mistaken for a mute?"
Little Four rarely revealed such a young appearance. When he met a girl who had made him fall in love, he exposed his rare side!
Zhou Zhiqing knew what they were talking about, so she felt a little embarrassed. She deliberately slowed down her pace to increase the distance between them!
She was close to a thousand years old, and though she was good and social, and could live normally for fifteen years, she was nearly a thousand years old after all, with a thousand years' worth of real age, and now she was tempted by the heart of a young man who was in his early twenties. This did make her a little embarrassed!
"What's wrong?"
Yuan Yue seemed to be able to tell that Zhou Zhiqing's mood seemed to be a little disappointed, so she giggled and approached her, asking her in a low voice.
"Nothing!"
Zhou Zhiqing shook her head.
"Oh..."
Yuan Yue raised her head and looked at the backs of Xiao Si'er and Xiao Fei in front of her. In her heart, she also understood why Zhou Zhiqing was in such a bad mood.1
"You've just returned to this human society. Don't worry about anything. Take your time. Those who have the heart will wait for you. Those who don't... The test has just come to an end. Let's get this over with as soon as possible!"
Yuan Yue said with a smile to Zhou Zhiqing.
"No, don't make wild guesses. I..."
"I know, I know, don't be anxious!"
Yuan Yue interrupted Zhou Zhiqing's explanation and put her arm around her shoulders.
"In our eyes, you are just a fifteen or sixteen year old girl. As for that thousand years, it doesn't even exist in our eyes! You can imagine it this way. You are actually sealed in the ocean floor. You have nothing but your own thoughts! So, these thousand years can never be counted as the time you have lived. It can't be counted on your age. Do you understand? "
Yuan Yue secretly consoled Zhou Zhiqing. She understood Zhou Zhiqing's thoughts, and knew that she was conflicted in her heart. But looking at them from Faang Cheng to Fei, which one of them did not have their own lives at stake?
"I know, but... I still need time to get used to it!"
Zhou Zhiqing nodded, indicating that she understood, but she needed some time to adjust!
"Hehe, that's right! Hey, look at those in front of you. Faang Cheng, Lee Zhaowen, Yu Yien, and Xiao Qi, look at them. How old do you think they are?"
As she spoke, Yuan Yue suddenly pointed at Faang Cheng and the others' backs and asked Zhou Zhiqing.
"Hmm? Them? They are only in their twenties..."
Speaking up to this point, Zhou Zhiqing suddenly realized that Yuan Yue's question was definitely not as simple as she thought. Thus, she looked at Yuan Yue with her eyes full of confusion!
"Hehe, Faang Cheng, you should be five thousand years old soon. As for Zhaowen, he should be around four thousand years old! I don't know the details of the favor, but from what I heard from their conversation... He should be close to a thousand years old again! And Xiao Qi, that is a Divine Beast that is close to two thousand years old. Look at these people, these people... Which one of them can you tell is so old?"
Yuan Yue used Faang Cheng and the others as examples to comfort Zhou Zhiqing.
