“Yes!” Gu Nuo’er jumped down from his arms.

The silver bells on her small wrist rang crisply.

Gu Nuo’er looked like an owner of the place who had brought a guest home. She turned around and waved. “Brother, follow me in.”

Gu Ziliang put away the umbrella and leaned it against the wall in corridor before following Gu Nuo’er into the dilapidated hall.

He remained cautious at all times.

This was because most of the halls in the cold palace had been in disrepair for a long time. If the roof beams fell, it would be very dangerous.

He mustn’t hit Gu Nuo’er get hit.

However, the child seemed to be familiar with the way and walked straight to a seemingly ordinary floor tile before stopping.

She turned her head and called out softly, “Tenth Brother, help me move this rock away.”

Gu Ziliang quickly did as she said.

He picked up the thin floor tile and gently placed it aside.

However, at this moment, he saw a thick wooden box below!

The entire box was made of heavy mahogany that was resistant to decay and tides. Gold plates were also pasted to the four corners to prevent wear.

Gu Nuo’er looked at the painting of a child pouncing on a butterfly.

She couldn’t help but chuckle. “Tenth Brother, let me tell you secretly. Eleventh Brother felt dissatisfied after painting and even cried badly because of this!

“However, only he and I know about this. He asked me not to say anything. Otherwise, he won’t appear manly.”

Gu Ziliang chuckled. “I’ll also keep it a secret for my sister and Eleventh Brother.”

“Yes! Tenth Brother, look at this. Does this shattered night pearl look like the face of a crying beauty from the side?”

The child held the only half of the night pearl in her hands and turned it to show Gu Ziliang.

As expected.

The cracks from the fall unintentionally looked like a beauty’s eyebrows, nose, and lips.

As for the tears the child was talking about, they was a small bulge below the like the depression on the pearl that seemed to be where the eye was.

Gu Ziliang nodded sincerely. “Yes, and its very beautiful.”

“That’s right!” Gu Nuo’er gently stroked the night pearl. “Perhaps this pearl is a beauty. After it broke, it hurt a lot and cried.

“At that time, Second Brother wanted to throw it away, but I couldn’t bear to, so I kept it.”

The child even showed Gu Ziliang many other items from her collection.

Basically, they were precious things that just had flaws on them.
