"That you were like my grandpa’s." Gu Jin said in a soft tone.
Silence.
For a long time, no one said a word to each other and the three elders only stared at Gu Jin in surprise.
Gu Jin felt a bit uncomfortable and asked, fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"What? You don’t want me to treat you all as grandpa then..."
"I want!"
"I want!"
"I want!"
The three elders said at the same time.
Gu Jin suppressed the smile and stood up,
"Since I am done with my work, I will get going. Please the papers."
Old Wu said,
"About that girl, I think you shouldn’t open a stall, but a store with the quality of your pills, I bet that many people might harass you."
Gu Jin understood Old Wu’s concern and said,
"Don’t worry, I will disguise myself."
Seeing her confidence Old Wu, Old Fan, and Old Xiang felt their lips twitching and Old Wu shook his head.
"Here." Old Wu said and passed Gu Jin a skin mask.
"What is this?" Gu Jin asked and she slowly lifted her hand to take the mask.
Old Wu’s smile deepened when he saw Gu Jin’s action.
Earlier Gu Jin wouldn’t even let them stand near her, let alone take any item from their hand before knowing fully well what it was.
But now...
"This is a skin mask. It will help disguise your appearance so that you can move around without attracting too much attention," Old Wu explained, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
Skin masks were one of the most uncommon and rare items.
Skin masks were very hard to make, at the same time they were used by the military most of the time to disguise themselves during covert operations.
They could change one’s appearance entirely, making them unrecognizable even to those who knew them well.
Normally Old Wu wouldn’t be able to part away with such a treasure but for his granddaughter like girl, Old Wu was ready to sacrifice.
Gu Jin looked at the skin mask and for the first time, she felt her surroundings revolving around her.
How could she not?
The skin mask in front of her was the one she had used in her previous life. In fact, it was made by one of the skilled craftsmen of the organization.
She had also learned basic disguising skills from him.
But the question was...how did the skin mask from her previous life are present here.?Does someone from her previous life have transmigrated into this world too?
The mere thought made Gu Jin feel excited and cold too.
If it was her enemy then she would have to kill them. If it was her close one then she has to help them.
Gu Jin put away the skin mask and asked,
"Where did you get this skin mask from?"
"This skin mask has been in my possession for quite some time. It’s a rare and valuable item, one that I acquired through various means."
Gu Jin’s curiosity piqued even further.
"Various means? What do you mean?"
Old Wu chuckled softly.
"Let’s just say I have my connections and sources."
Gu Jin didn’t comment anything further when she realized that Old Wu didn’t want to mention about source.
"Ah, right! Here is the key to the store, I have written the address on the page." Old Fan passed the key and the address to Gu Jin who accepted the key and thanked Old Fan.
"Then I will take my leave. By the way, my name is Gu Jin." Gu Jin said and left.
"Gu Jin what a great name!" Old Xiang said with a smile.
....
In the space.
Gu Jin checked the details for the auction.
Today she was going to lose half of her fortune!
Two mystic seeds and resources for Si Kai.
Gu Jin disguised herself with her normal trick and entered the auction house without any ticket since Gu Jin had a reference card given by the staff of Dong Auction House.
Gu Jin checked her money and sat comfortably in her seat, waiting for the auction to begin.
As she looked around, she noticed familiar faces and some new ones, all eagerly awaiting the start of the event.
