Jiang Dad and Mrs. Jiang’s spacious apartnt in the area was secured by Gu Yuanqi.
All the high-level cultivators of the Gu Family had returned to the Ancestor Planet to go into closed-door cultivation.
They left the younger generation to manage the Earth’s Teleportation Array and to intervene in the managent of the major cities.
However, for most cities, the Gu Family tried their best not to interfere, allowing the prominent families of those cities to manage things themselves, with the Gu Family rely taking 20% of the tax revenues.
This approach by the Gu Family wasn’t as domineering as the Murong Family, which sowhat delegated powers to those major families managing the cities.
But the managent rights of Shencheng remained in the hands of the Gu Family.
Being the headquarters city of the Teleportation Array, the Gu Family couldn’t possibly let others handle it.
So when Gu Feng asked his descendants to find an empty apartnt, Gu Yuanqi personally ca to arrange it.
Among those who stayed with the Gu Family, he was also considered a prominent, core descendant of the younger generation.
Hearing from the ancestors that the woman by the Ancestor’s side was the reincarnation of the Ancestor Grandmother, Gu Yuanqi was extrely curious.
He had always wanted to et her, but feared showing up uninvited without the Ancestor’s summons, worrying that he might disturb the Ancestor and earn the ancestors’ strict discipline.
However, so ti ago, he heard Uncle Sheng Wei talk about eting the Ancestor Grandmother during the "National War", and she even gave a greeting gift — she gave Uncle Sheng Wei a Breakthrough Pill.
Gu Shengwei, from the seventh generation, boasted about this daily in the family; he strutted around like a grandchild cherished by elders, bringing it up at every al. Others heard that only he, among the younger generation, t the Ancestor Grandmother and received her gift, and they felt a bit jealous, though they didn’t show it.
If not for the strict rules within the family, these people would have long gone to offer their respects to the Ancestor Grandmother every day.
But this ti, Gu Yuanqi saw his chance.
By luck, among the younger generation staying on Earth in the Gu Mansion, Gu Feng knew only Gu Yuanqi, so he contacted him to handle this matter.
After organizing everything, Gu Yuanqi, now holding the Jiang Family’s property deed, personally visited their door.
When Jiang Ruolin went to open the door, Gu Yuanqi imdiately smiled and sized up Jiang Ruolin.
Although Jiang Ruolin was young, she was labeled in the family as the "Ancestor Grandmother".
So he imdiately bowed with both hands, "Junior Gu Yuanqi pays respects to the Ancestor Grandmother. Greetings to the Ancestor Grandmother."
Originally thinking Gu Yuanqi was part of the residential property managent, Jiang Ruolin was flustered by such a grand bow. After listening to his introduction, she panicked.
But luckily, she felt sowhat assured because Gu Feng had previously given her nurous magic artifacts and magical treasures, telling her to use them as reciprocal gifts if she ever wanted to reply to the Gu family juniors’ gifts.
Feeling the magical treasures inside her Storage Ring, Jiang Ruolin felt considerably more composed, thinking that returning these gifts wouldn’t sha Gu Feng or herself.
"Who is it?"
Jiang Dad and Mrs. Jiang ca over to see.
Gu Yuanqi quickly took out the property deed, "It’s this. I’m here to deliver the property deed to the Ancestor Grandmother, please keep it safe."
"Ancestor Grandmother?" Jiang Dad and Mrs. Jiang exchanged glances and then looked at Jiang Ruolin.
Fearing they didn’t know who he was, Gu Yuanqi reintroduced himself, "I am a junior of the Gu family, entrusted by Ancestor Gu Feng to personally deliver the completed property deed."
Jiang Ruolin replied, "Thank you for your efforts."
"Ancestor Grandmother, you needn’t be so polite with ." Gu Yuanqi, flattered, quickly gestured with his hand, "Serving elders is what we juniors should do. If you have any orders in the future, don’t hesitate to call , and we’ll be at your service anyti."
"Please keep this deed safe for now, I won’t disturb you any longer." Gu Yuanqi respectfully handed the property deed to Jiang Ruolin and then bowed at ninety degrees, preparing to leave.
"Wait a mont," Jiang Ruolin first asked the person opposite her, "Which generation of mber are you?"
Gu Yuanqi replied, "The eighth generation. Among my peers in the clan, I rank seventh and am currently responsible for managing Earth."
Jiang Ruolin suddenly realized that as long as he was a direct mber of the Gu family, it would suffice. She quickly took out a magical treasure from her storage ring.
She handed it over to Gu Yuanqi, saying, "Here, take this as a eting gift."
Upon seeing the first-grade spiritual treasure, Gu Yuanqi’s eyes imdiately lit up. He respectfully took the magical treasure with both hands and said, "Thank you, Ancestor Grandmother."
Even Jiang Dad and Mrs. Jiang were staring in astonishnt.
In their lifeti, they had never seen a spiritual treasure.
It should go without saying, but with the Gu family mbers around, they felt like scolding their daughter for being too spendthrift, right?
Was this kind of item even sothing one could give away?
As soon as Gu Yuanqi left, Jiang Dad glared and blew his beard, "Was what you just gave away a spiritual treasure?"
Jiang Ruolin nodded.
"You’re being foolish," Mrs. Jiang also beca anxious, "Where did you get such a thing? How could you just give it away so casually? This thing is very expensive, worth at least several tens of millions of spirit stones! You can give cheaper gifts to the younger generation; there’s no need to be so extravagant and wasteful."
Jiang Ruolin said, "I also think giving this kind of expensive and luxurious item is too much, but Gu Feng gave these magical treasures, telling to give them away when I et our family’s younger generation in the future."
"What, what?" Mrs. Jiang was taken aback, "Feng told you to give them away?"
Jiang Dad asked, "You an he gave you quite a few spiritual treasure magical artifacts?"
"Yeah," Jiang Ruolin displayed over fifty magical treasures from her storage ring, all usable by cultivators at the peak of the Ten Layers of Heaven.
They ranged from second-grade to fifth or sixth-grade; each increase in grade ant a step up in function and value.
These were collected by Gu Feng from fulfilling three tasks last ti, plus protecting Jiang Ruolin during her ti in the cave mansion where he saw an enemy defeated every second.
Anyway, if they weren’t taken by him, other cultivators would have picked them up. So he simply gathered them all and gave them to Jiang Ruolin, telling her that if she t descendants of the Gu family and lacked suitable gifts for elders, she should use these.
When Jiang Dad and Mrs. Jiang saw over fifty spiritual treasures, they were dumbfounded.
"This..." Jiang Dad was sowhat dazed, "Gu Feng told you to give these to the younger generations of the Gu family?"
"These are equipnt that only cultivators around Ten Layers of Heaven can afford to use, where did he get so many?"
Jiang Ruolin said, "I don’t know, but he insisted on giving them to , instructing to use them for returning gifts. As his woman, I had no choice but to comply."
Then, she offered to her parents, "Pick one for yourselves."
Both quickly shook their heads, "Forget it, these items are too valuable and easily attract attention in public. We don’t have the strength to protect them and fear they might lead to danger."
Mrs. Jiang chid in, "Keep them for yourself. After all, you are now a concubine of the Gu family and need to maintain appearances."
"I’ve got mine," Jiang Ruolin revealed a sweet smile, showing the God-Shocking Whip Gu Feng had given her, "I’ll use this."
Her parents were left speechless, "An ancient treasure-level magical artifact!"
Then in panic, they hurriedly said, "Put it away quickly! Are you trying to get killed? Showing sothing like this openly could bring fatal danger anyti outside of Earth!"
Jiang Ruolin put all the magical treasures away.
Imdiately, Mrs. Jiang poked her forehead lightly and scolded, "I really don’t know what kind of luck you had to et a man like Feng who dotes on you so much. Look at you now, your accessories are even more lavish than those from major families."
Jiang Ruolin giggled while linking arms with her mother, "I also have to thank mom for not forcing to go back and marry soone else; otherwise, my fate with him would have been severed."
