Chapter 318: Long Hair, Short Knowledge
"A round piece of... jade?"
Gu Ranle asked hesitantly. She felt a little uneasy, worried that she had heard it wrong.
But in fact, she heard it clearly, and every word was clearly heard in her ears.
Pei Gong raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. With a curious look in his eyes, he asked, "Why? Where have you seen this? Or do you have such a piece of jade in your hands?"
"I didn't." Gu Ranle quickly waved her hands to deny it, then licked her lips, as if organizing her words, "But I have seen it. Great-grandfather, Ci Nian, you know it, right?"
Pei Gong nodded, his expression calm, "I know, your mother."
"Yes, that's her." Gu Ranle responded and continued, "Whenever I sleep and dream, there's a chance I'll travel to a different world. It feels like entering a parallel world. Great-grandfather, do you believe it?"
After she finished speaking, she stared at Pei Gong closely, afraid to miss any expression on his face.
Pei Gong stared at her for a few seconds, his deep eyes seemed to see through everything, and then he slowly nodded.
"Do you believe it? Don't you think I'm talking nonsense?"
Gu Ranle was a little surprised, but also a little happy. She originally thought that it would be hard for anyone to believe such a bizarre thing if she told it to them.
At this time, Zhou Xiaoliu on the side interrupted and said, "Ci Ci, your grandfather has told your great-grandfather. Your great-grandfather is very knowledgeable and experienced. This is not a strange thing for him."
Gu Ranle glared at Zhou Xiaoliu and said unhappily, "Go away. I don't want to talk to you!"
"Hey! You little girl, you're getting bolder, aren't you? How dare you talk to me, your aunt, in such a tone? If I don't punish you for three days, you'll want to climb up the roof and tear off the tiles!" Zhou Xiaoliu said as he reached out and grabbed Gu Ranle's ear.
Gu Ranle grimaced in pain and quickly complained to Pei Gong, "Great-grandfather, look at Zhou Xiaoliu! She's bullying me again!"
Pei Gong glanced over, and Zhou Xiaoliu immediately let go of his hand with a smile, muttering, "Snitch!"
Gu Ranle rubbed her painful ear and continued, "Ci Nian said that the jade was left to her by her father. She traveled to our world before, and it might be related to that jade."
Pei Gong hesitated for a moment, as if thinking about something, and then slowly said, "Then next time you come over, lend me the jade so I can take a look at it."
"Can it be brought here? I thought things from that world couldn't be brought here." Gu Ranle muttered, with a look of confusion on his face.
Pei Gong explained, "Other things may not work, but since you said that the jade is related to Ci Nian's coming here, it must be special and can be brought here."
After hearing what Pei Gong said, Gu Ranle nodded and said, "Okay, next time I go there, I will definitely ask Ci Nian to borrow it. But, great-grandfather, the time and place I travel to are random, and I can't control it myself."
"Go to random places? How many other places can you go?" After hearing this, Pei Gong showed a look of surprise on his face. It was obvious that he was very interested in Gu Ranle's experience of time travel.
Gu Ranle stretched out two fingers, gestured, and said, "Aside from our world, there are two other worlds. One is the world where Ci Nian lives. It seems to be a parallel time and space, with features similar to our world but also different. The other is the world in the book. It is said to be in a book created in our world, and the world inside is completely constructed based on the plot of that book. It is very wonderful."
As he spoke, Gu Ranle's eyes sparkled with excitement, as if he had returned to those wonderful time-travel journeys.
She continued, "In that book world, I felt like a character in the book, experiencing the story in the book. That feeling was really magical. Sometimes, I even forgot that I was from another world and was completely immersed in that world."
Pei Gong listened to Gu Ranle's story, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes. He slowly said, "It seems that there are indeed many strange things in this world. The next time you travel through time, you must be careful and cautious. If you encounter any danger, you must do your best to protect yourself."
Gu Ranle looked very proud, deliberately showing off his not very obvious biceps, and said playfully, "Don't worry, great-grandfather. Although I haven't inherited all your true teachings, I have learned 70% or 80% of your skills. It's more than enough to protect myself!"
Pei Gong looked at her lively appearance, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but he still warned her seriously: "Don't be careless in everything. It's better to be safe than sorry."
Gu Ranle nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice, "I'll remember my great-grandfather's teachings! Great-grandfather, Li Xiu can go home to propose marriage today. If you don't have anything important to do, let's go back together. We can have a barbecue tonight and have a great time!"
Pei Gong raised his hand and gently rubbed her head, his eyes full of love, "No, I have some things to deal with today, let's do it another day."
After hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Gu Ranle's face, but she quickly remembered something else and her eyes lit up. "Oh, great-grandfather, there's something very interesting. Li Xiu Neng looks exactly like my fiancé Li Shenzhi in the book world, as if they were carved from the same mold!"
"Oh, so, you got engaged to him because he looks like your fiancé in the book?" Zhou Xiaoliu couldn't help but interrupt again, his face full of gossip, his eyes wide open, as if he had discovered some shocking secret.
Gu Ranle glared at her unhappily, "You're the only one who talks too much, you're everywhere!"
She turned to look at Pei Gong with a mysterious expression, "Great-grandfather, there's a super little secret. Li Shenzhi has traveled to our world, and the current Li Xiuneng has changed his core."
"What??" Zhou Xiaoliu was completely confused, her brow furrowed so tightly that it could kill a mosquito. "So is the world crazy, or are you crazy?" She raised her hand and touched Gu Ranle's forehead. "You don't have a fever, so why are you spouting such bizarre, incomprehensible nonsense?"
"You have long hair and little knowledge. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" Gu Ranle opened her hand and turned to Pei Gong and said, "Great-grandfather, you must meet Li Xiuneng someday if you have the chance. Then you will know that I am not talking nonsense."
Pei Gong was well-informed and didn't find this bizarre incident as incredible as Zhou Xiaoliu did. He smiled and nodded, "Okay. Be safe on your way back, and call me when you get home."
After separating from Pei Gong and Zhou Xiaoliu, Gu Ranle also set out on his way back.
When I got home, it was already very late.
Gu Ranle's heart skipped a beat when he saw a person standing at the gate of the manor from a distance.
