Chapter 665: Deeply Rooted Affection (110)
The two got out of the car.
Their eyes fixed on the nameplate of door number 188; quite clearly, it was an antique shop.
A strong **** irresistibly drew Gu Lili inside.
Inside sat an elderly man looking quite spirited, with long beard and wearing a knit hat, dressed in black cotton clothing, fixing an old clock he had received.
"Welcome, feel free to look around." The old man didn’t look up, routinely uttering a greeting.
Gu Lili surveyed the shop, which featured antiques hung and placed all around.
"Old man, such a variety of antiques here, if all genuine, must be quite valuable; aren’t you worried about people harboring ill intentions? Perhaps hiring some bodyguards would be wise," she spoke in an international language.
The clock-fixing elder suddenly looked up at her, sizing her up for a moment before asking, "You don’t appear to be a local, miss?"
"We’re from country S, just arrived in country U, drawn here."
"Drawn here?" The elder blinked, "Drawn by what?"
"By a dream, a wall with four written words on it."
She immediately wrote down the four characters seen in the dream for him to see.
The elder showed an extraordinary surprise, staring at her, momentarily speechless.
Seeing his stunned look, Gu Lili smiled slightly, "Were you startled by my absurd words, old sir?"
"Not at all, I believe it’s true." He closely examined the two of them,"If I’m not mistaken, are you two holding the Rejuvenation Netherworld Swords in your hands?"
"Indeed, these are the swords. You recognize them too, old sir?"
Gu Lili and Long Yubei already figured something, this old man was no ordinary person, otherwise how could he recognize these swords.
"Of course, I recognize them." The elder came out from inside and then closed the door behind him before turning to speak, "These swords were forged by me, made by my own hands. How could I not recognize them? Now, just who exactly are you two? Please disclose your true identities, let’s not speak in riddles."
"I am Long Chan of the Netherworld’s Seventh Prince, and this is the mother of my child, a human who can communicate with spirits."
"Son of the Netherworld King." The old man waved his hand, and the quaint antique shop instantly transformed into a luxuriously modern living space, and the wrinkled face of the old man morphed into a young man.
Seeing his true face, Long Yubei truly did not expect, "So it’s Jun Yu the Immortal Venerable."
"These swords belonged to my sister, how did they end up in your hands?"
"To be honest," Long Yubei continued, "I was reincarnated in the Long Family in country S..."
He detailed the origins of the swords, and Jun Yu’s countenance darkened as he listened, "No wonder these swords disappeared."
Gu Lili took the initiative, "If it can be proven that these swords are your sister’s, we are willing to return them."
"There’s no need," Jun Yu replied, "If what you say is true, and my sister gifted them, there’s no reason to take them back. When my sister wakes up someday, and if it turns out you lied, it won’t be too late to ask for them then."
At this point, he stared intently at Gu Lili, "Your ability to find this place suggests that we are fated in some mysterious way. Since the swords have acknowledged you as their master, did any unusual changes occur after becoming their owner?"
"He did not, but I did." Gu Lili then shared her aberration with him. After hearing her story, Jun Yu frowned, "You dreamt of a red-dressed woman dancing?"
