Rebirth of an Idle Noble Women (200-end)

358-360

Chapter 358: They're Here!

After Gu Xiqiao had led the team of people to drop the bomb, she returned to Nine Heavens. Feng Jiu was still in the same spot that she had left him.

When he first saw Gu Xiqiao appear on the screen, he had been in a daze. She had been sitting right opposite him just a second ago, how did she appear on screen the next moment?

Especially after hearing her words, and the first time he was seeing the Peace Squad.

Feng Jiu had still yet to collect himself. He opened his mouth when he saw Gu Xiqiao, who had come back god-knows-when, but no words were forthcoming. He could only feel his hands, and even his feet were shaking.

"Mr. Feng Jiu, regarding the matter that I just said, I'll get the great elder to contact you later. Hmm, I heard that you have a good relationship with the second elder, I'll get him to contact you instead then." Gu Xiqiao patted Jiji on its head.

Jiji immediately shoved the computer in its hand back into its storage, standing up to look at Gu Xiqiao. "Are we going back now, Beauty Gu?"

"Wait a bit more, I have to go to the web department first." Gu Xiqiao said, touching her chin thoughtfully.

This sentence made Yu Ning, who had been sitting down quietly, jump up to his feet. "Boss Gu, let's head there without delay then."

"Wait, Miss Gu!" Seeing that Gu Xiqiao was about to leave, Feng Jiu finally snapped out of his dazed state. He stood up, turning to face her. "The plan that you mentioned about bringing the entire nations to arms, how are we supposed to do it?"

Also, how did she know that he was more familiar with the second elder?

Hearing those words, Gu Xiqiao raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to continue.

"These monsters have appeared in various places recently, N City, S City, even the capital. You're saying those monsters..." Feng Jiu was more concerned about the population's safety right now.

"Ten days. Within ten days, you only need to be concerned about using various methods to improve your physical fitness or strength. For these ten days, you don't have to worry about anything else." Gu Xiqiao shoved her hands in her pocket, flashing him a small smile.

Her tone was calm and unhurried. She always had the ability to soothe people when needed.

That was exactly what Feng Jiu wanted from her. Although her reassurance sounded a little absurd, there was a sense of inexplicable trust towards her, and he thanked her for it.

Seeing that he didn't have any further questions, Gu Xiqiao turned around and left.

After she left, Feng Jiu finally managed to fully gather himself. Taking a deep breath, he noticed that Mu Zong was still in the room, flipping through some documents and seated at the other side of the room. He couldn't help but be astonished. "Mr. Mu, aren't you surprised in the slightest?"

"Surprised?" Mu Zong raised his head, then he thought Feng Jiu was probably referring to the incident that had just happened, and he smiled. "I am indeed very surprised, but I've already recovered from it."

"That quickly?" Feng Jiu's eyes widened drastically. He often dealt with the ancient martial arts world, and even that didn't help him in recovering so quickly, and this ordinary person had managed to recover so quickly?

"This matter," Mu Zong started calmly. "It's very insignificant compared to what happened in the States. It was her decision after that surprised me a little."

Feng Jiu: "..." Just what kind of people were following her at her side?

Mu Zong kept away the documents he had been looking at, and heard Feng Jiu's phone ringing at this time. He couldn't help the smile that spread on his face. "Mr. Feng Jiu, your phone is ringing. If you have any need, you may call on the secretary at any time."
