737: Chapter 737: eting New Friends 737: Chapter 737: eting New Friends Returning ho, Gu Fan opened the door, then made a gesture of invitation.
Speaking with an utmost respectful tone, he said, “Your arrival graces this humble abode, my queen.
I hope in the future days to co, you will grant the honor of attending to you.”
“Well-mannered, a point in your favor.” Qian Ye stepped inside, looked around, looking sowhat disappointed.
“The house appears a bit worn on the outside; I see it’s diocre inside.”
To this, Gu Fan explained: “This is our family’s old house, also a historic building, it has quite the value.”
“Ah, I see.
I take back what I said earlier then, no offense intended.
Also, I’ll need the biggest room.” Qian Ye was very blunt, which made Gu Fan bewildered.
“Hold on, you’re now Lin Xi.
You should go to Lin Xi’s place and live with Lin Xi’s parents.”
“Right, I forgot about that.
Let’s go to Lin Xi’s ho then.
Hopefully, it’s nicer than here.” No sooner had Qian Ye finished speaking than Gu Fan sighed.
“Do you know why I didn’t take you directly to Lin Xi’s ho?
I was afraid you’d chafe against the restrictions with that temper of yours.
Given your unpredictable words and conduct, it’s likely you’ll get into a quarrel with Lin Xi’s parents and arouse their suspicions.”
Hearing this, Qian Ye gave it so serious thought and felt it made sense.
Then she asked, “What do you think I should do?”
Gu Fan, shaking his head, said: “In my opinion, no matter how good your acting is, it wouldn’t work, as after all you’re not Lin Xi.
Moreover, I have no idea how Lin Xi usually interacts with her family, so the longer you stay, the more loopholes will be exposed.”
Qian Ye frowned: “What should we do?
Should I just not go ho?”
Gu Fan thought carefully, “Of course you must go ho.
Just keep quiet, eat and sleep.
Whatever Lin Xi’s parents say, just do it.
That way, we could conceal your identity to the maximum extent.”
Qian Ye raised her concerns: “However, over ti, won’t they eventually find out?”
“That’s why you work during the day, go ho late at night to reduce the ti you spend with Lin Xi’s parents.
Besides, you can also stay over at Lin Xi’s friend’s place.
That way, we live one day at a ti.” Gu Fan was serious.
It seed to be the best solution for the ti being.
But Qian Ye had doubts: “If I stay at Lin Xi’s friend’s place, wouldn’t Lin Xi’s friends find sothing wrong with ?”
“Don’t worry.
She is Lin Xi’s trusty friend.
She knows that you’re Qian Ye and will help you adjust to this world along with .” Just then, Gu Fan was interrupted by Qian Ye.
“No way, my identity must be kept secret.
The fewer people know, the better.”
“But…” Gu Fan wanted to say sothing, but just then, Su Hui and Gu Ling ca back.
As soon as they entered the house, they saw Gu Fan and Qian Ye.
Of course, Su Hui didn’t notice anything unusual.
She laughed and said, “Well, you two didn’t go out for a date but choose to et here?”
“Er…” Gu Fan was rather embarrassed, and Qian Ye’s face stiffened.
Qian Ye turned to Su Hui for just a second, and then focused her attention all on Gu Ling.
Gu Ling looked at Qian Ye with puzzled eyes.
“Here, Lin Xi, this is for you.” Su Hui was about to hand over a small gift to Qian Ye but was stopped by Gu Ling.
Su Hui looked at Gu Ling puzzled, “What’s wrong, Xiaoling?”
Gu Ling had a serious look on her face.
“Sothing is wrong.
She’s not Sister Lin Xi.”
Su Hui imdiately stiffened her entire body upon hearing these words and prepared for a fight.
“If you’re not Lin Xi, then who are you…
Could it be Ning Qi?”
“Who’s Ning Qi?” Qian Ye naturally didn’t know that after Ning Qi joined the Shennv Xuanhui, she learned magic and could change into the appearance of anyone.
Since Gu Ling said that this Lin Xi was fake, Su Hui’s first thought was that Ning Qi was impersonating her.
This caused Su Hui to be filled with hostility.
Seeing the tension escalating, Gu Fan rushed to explain, “It’s okay, Sister Su, don’t panic.
This person isn’t Lin Xi, but she isn’t Ning Qi either.
Her identity is a bit special.”
“Special?” Both Su Hui and Gu Ling looked puzzled.
They couldn’t figure out what Gu Fan was up to.
To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts, Gu Fan told them everything: how he travelled through the space-ti door, Lin Xi and Qian Ye switched identities, etc.
Hearing all these, both Su Hui and Gu Ling were left dumbfounded.
“You can’t be serious.
Lin Xi is queen in ancient tis and Qian Ye ca here to be an ordinary person.” Su Hui could hardly believe it.
If it weren’t for Gu Ling’s firm belief that the girl who looked exactly like Lin Xi was not Lin Xi, Su Hui would have needed ti to accept the truth.
The exposure of her identity displeased Qian Ye.
“What are you doing, Gu Fan?
Without my permission, how could you divulged my identity?”
“It’s fine.
These two can be trusted.
Besides, there are many things that us n can’t teach you about living here.
We would need so reliable girls to help you adapt.” Gu Fan’s reasoning was solid; Qian Ye couldn’t argue.
So she just said, “All right, I trust you, Gu Fan.
And you know as well as I do that any slip-up on my part will definitely affect Lin Xi.”
Now Gu Ling was curious.
“What impact would it have on Sister Lin Xi?”
Here’s how Qian Ye explained it: “Lin Xi is my reincarnation.
If sothing happens to and I can’t return to the ancient tis, I won’t be able to reincarnate.
If I don’t reincarnate, there won’t be Lin Xi, history would change.”
On hearing this, Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Gu Ling finally understood the stakes involved.
We absolutely cannot let anything happen to Qian Ye; we must ensure her successful exchange with Lin Xi.
Su Hui collected herself, then smiled faintly, “Rest assured, Lin Xi is our good friend, a friend for life.
For Lin Xi’s sake, we will definitely take good care of you.
We also hope that you can behave yourself and not disturb Lin Xi’s ordinary life.”
“Okay, I help you, you help .
It’s settled then.” Qian Ye said confidently.
Suddenly, Gu Ling said, “I wonder how Qian Feng would feel if she knew the real Qian Ye had co to this era.”
Upon hearing the na Qian Feng, Qian Ye beca imdiately panicked and cried, “Absolutely not.
She must never know.”
“Sure enough, both of you, whether Lin Xi or Qian Ye, are scared of Qian Feng.” Gu Fan sighed and he was clear in his heart that if Qian Feng found out about all this, there was no telling what extent things would escalate.
After weighing all the pros and cons, Gu Fan preferred the fewer people to know about this, the better, even keeping it from Lu Yi, Jie, and Du Jun.
However, Su Hui was sowhat worried, “Are you sure you want to keep this from Lu Yi?
Aren’t you afraid that Lu Yi will…”
As soon as it ca to Lu Yi, Gu Fan felt a headache.
