Qian Jiujiu took the token from Wanyin's hand. When he was absorbed in thinking about something, he heard his stomach growling. When he came to his senses, he realized that he was hungry.
He glanced at Wanyin and said, "Mom, I'm hungry. I'll make something to eat myself."
While Qian Jiujiu was speaking, Xiaoman had already started to act, and soon a delicious breakfast was ready.
Just as they were about to start eating, Gu Xiangning walked in from outside: "I said I smelled the food Xiaoman made, you unfilial disciple."
"It's delicious, but you are not respectful to your teacher. You deserve to be beaten."
Gu Xiangning's arrival caused the atmosphere inside to pause for a moment. Xiaoman was also looking at Gu Xiangning with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, which made Gu Xiangning feel a little uncomfortable.
"Disciple, why are you looking at me like that?"
Xiaoman looked at the dog on the ground, then at Gu Xiangning, with something strange in her eyes. Xiaoman felt complicated, and Gu Xiangning noticed Xiaoman's strange look.
Xiaoman shook his head: "It's okay, it's just that the dog was poisoned to death."
When Gu Xiangning heard the word "poison", his eyes narrowed immediately: "What's going on? Who wants to harm my disciple?"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Xiangning looked at Qian Jiujiu beside Xiaoman and his eyes widened immediately: "Are you guys doubting me?"
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes: "Gu Xiangning, sometimes I think you are very smart, but sometimes you are as stupid as a pig?"
Gu Xiangning was speechless: "Can you please speak properly? You are so unlucky that you were almost poisoned to death on your first day here. How come there are people who want to kill you?"
Qian Jiujiu felt that she would be pissed off if she talked to this person: "You, humph! Gu Xiangning, I tell you, you brought me back to the island, you are responsible for my safety."
"Originally I was thinking that this matter should be forgotten, but now? You have to give me an explanation."
Gu Xiangning's eyes widened: "It wasn't me who poisoned you, why should I give you an explanation?"
Xiaoman also coughed twice at this time: "Master, you have to ensure our safety. I also need an explanation for this matter. Otherwise, it's better not to be a master who can't even protect his apprentice."
Gu Xiangning suddenly felt like he had been hit hard in the heart, and looked at Xiaoman: "You just bully me, don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
As he spoke, Gu Xiangning narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he had been gentle for a long time, making some people think that anyone could come to the island owner's mansion to make trouble.
After Gu Xiangning finished speaking, he looked at Xiaoman and said, "I have already promised to leave this matter to me. Whether you give me food or not, it depends on me."
Qian Jiujiu coughed twice and said, "Let's eat together."
Gu Xiangning then came over contentedly. After eating, Gu Xiangning prepared to investigate the matter. Before leaving, he did not forget to look at Xiaoman: "Don't think you can be lazy just because you are on the island."
"You must study carefully what I teach you. I will check it in two days."
Xiaoman made a face and said, "I know. Come on, Master."
Watching Gu Xiangning leave, Wanyin's eyes fell on Qian Jiujiu again: "Jiuer, do you trust that Gu Xiangning so much?"
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Mom, don't worry, I have been with Gu Xiangning for quite some time, I am still sure of what kind of person Gu Xiangning is."
After hearing this, Wanyin hummed and cleaned up the kitchen. Then she looked at Qian Jiujiu and Xiaoman and said, "I'll take you around the island."
Now Wanyin has also realized that Xiaoman must be very important to her daughter, and the relationship between the two is very good. Wanyin also wants to take advantage of this opportunity.
Get in touch with Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, since you are Jiuer's sister, you can call me godmother from now on."
When Qian Jiujiu heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered one thing, that is, Xiaoman was Gu Xiangning's apprentice, but also her mother's goddaughter.
Gu Xiangning is the adopted son of her so-called biological father, and is of the same generation as herself. Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu looked at Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, your generations are messed up."
Xiaoman thought about it and it seemed to be true, but Xiaoman thought that Master Gu Xiangning was just having fun and did not really kowtow to him to become his apprentice.
It should be the improper title of master and disciple, and in this era, seniority does not seem to be a trivial matter. Thinking of this, Xiaoman felt a little annoyed.
But if she was asked to be a generation younger than Qian Jiujiu, she would reject it from the bottom of her heart. Wanyin obviously thought of this matter and looked at Xiaoman: "What's there to be upset about?"
"Since you have become my goddaughter, you are naturally Gu Xiangning's sister, so you can call Gu Xiangning brother from now on."
The master just became a brother, and none of them even thought of asking the person involved in this matter, Gu Xiangning, about his wishes, but just confirmed it directly.
"Xiao Man has met her godmother."
When Wanyin heard Xiaoman's words, she immediately became excited: "Okay, okay, okay, I will take you to see the scenery on the island now."
As soon as the group of people here reached the gate, they saw Gu Xiong, who looked at the three women and asked, "Where are you three going?"
Wan Yin was very happy the moment she saw Gu Xiong coming out: "I want to take the two children out for a walk. Xiao Man, come quickly and meet your godfather."
Xiaoman was also very understanding at this time, and walked up to Gu Xiong and said, "Xiaoman meets godfather."
Gu Xiang originally had no children, he only had one daughter, Gu Xiangning, who was adopted. Now his daughter is back, and she has brought a goddaughter with her. He is so happy.
Looking at Xiaoman, he nodded with satisfaction: "That's Xiaoman, right? Great, she's really pretty. Come on, I'll go out with you guys. If you want to go somewhere, I'll accompany you today."
Faced with Gu Xiong's enthusiasm, Qian Jiujiu was still a little uncomfortable, but seeing Wan Yin's happy expression, Qian Jiujiu said nothing and followed behind.
The group left the mansion. Qian Jiujiu and Xiaoman looked at the city on the island and found that the buildings here were very different from those in Kyoto.
The most obvious feature is that the houses here are generally low, and there are not even three-story houses. But think about it, this is an island on the sea.
The wind is still very strong. Although there is a formation to block it, it cannot stop this real strong wind. Although the houses are low, it does not affect the prosperity of the island.
Moreover, the things were of various kinds, which dazzled Qian Jiujiu and Xiaoman. Since they traveled through time, Qian Jiujiu and Xiaoman had the opportunity to go shopping like this.
But he had never been so free before, and he couldn't help but feel good. Even Qian Jiujiu's attitude towards her father Gu Xiong also became much better.
As a group of people were walking on the street, Xiaoman's eyes fell on a restaurant. The restaurant was the tallest building here, a two-story restaurant, and he pulled Wanyin.
"Godmother, let's go here and eat something."
To be honest, Xiaoman didn't feel full at all because they only made a little food in the morning and had to eat with Gu Xiangning. Qian Jiujiu was also a little hungry, and when she heard what Xiaoman said, she agreed immediately.
"Yes, I'll go try it too, to see if there's any special food on this island."
When Gu Xiong heard that Qian Jiujiu wanted to go, he agreed: "That's great, let Jiuer go and try the special food on our island, all of which are seafood."
Seafood! Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched. In fact, she didn't like to eat seafood, but she still liked kelp and other things in the sea.
"Okay, then let's go in and take a look."
The group walked in. When the shopkeeper saw that the island owner had come in person, he immediately pushed the waiter aside and looked at Gu Xiong: "Oh, the island owner is here."
"Come in, come in, the lady is here too."
Gu Xiong hummed: "Yes, there are some in the private room upstairs."
The shopkeeper was very polite: "Yes, yes, come with me."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper's gaze lingered on Qian Jiujiu and Xiaoman. Qian Jiujiu looked at the shopkeeper's gaze, unable to tell whether it was good intention or bad intention.
But she always felt a little uncomfortable, so Xiaoman lowered her head and followed Qian Jiujiu: "Sister, why does that uncle keep looking at us like that?"
Sometimes children do have an advantage. What Qian Jiujiu was too embarrassed to ask, Xiaoman could say directly. As soon as Xiaoman finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed and scratched his head: "I didn't mean any harm, I was just curious, who is this girl? She is so beautiful, so I took a few more glances."
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Gu Xiong burst into laughter and looked at the shopkeeper: "You have good taste. This is my daughter, her name is Jiujiu."
A trace of surprise flashed across the shopkeeper's face: "Island Master, don't you only have one adopted son? Where did your daughter come from?"
Gu Xiong's face was still full of joy: "I was stranded outside, and I just found myself back yesterday. Okay, stop talking so much, and hurry up and prepare your signature dishes."
"Then let the young lady have a taste."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately excused himself: "Then I will go and prepare it now, island master, please go."
Qian Jiujiu raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Xiong: "Island Master Gu..."
As soon as the words came out, before he finished speaking, Gu Xiong's eyebrows were already tangled together: "Jiujiu, I am your father, your biological father."
Qian Jiujiu's mouth curled up in mockery, and he looked at Wan Yin: "Are you going to disclose my identity? Mother has been wandering outside for so many years, hasn't anyone made things difficult for her since she came back?"
When Gu Xiong heard this, he looked at Qian Jiujiu strangely and said, "What are you worried about, Jiujiu? Ask your mother if she has been troubled since you came back."
When Qian Jiujiu heard this, his gaze turned to Wan Yin, who was stunned.
