Upon being asked by Gu Xiyue, Gu Chengan suddenly felt uncertain. He furrowed his brows slightly, appearing troubled and deep in thought, "The medicinal pill that Gu Zhiqi made did indeed have a pattern resembling a phoenix."
As he spoke, he shifted his words, "Perhaps, it just happened to look similar. The pill you have in your hand might simply look like the one that Gu Zhiqi came up with."
Gu Chengan was not familiar with Phoenix Sleep Fragrance and thus did not know how difficult it was to refine it. He assumed that many people could make the stuff.
Gu Chengan might think so, but Gu Xiyue would not.
This Phoenix Sleep Fragrance was almost identical to the one that appeared in the world two years ago.
Gu Xiyue could almost confirm that it came from the same person.
Two years ago, two years...
Remembering what Gu Huaijin had once told her, that the Phoenix Sleep Fragrance was created by Gu Zhiqi, Gu Xiyue felt it was not impossible.
"When Gu Zhiqi made this," thinking that Gu Chengan didn’t know it was Phoenix Sleep Fragrance, Gu Xiyue corrected herself, "who else was present besides you?"
Chengcheng and Aunt Tang were both there," Gu Chengan honestly answered.
Hearing this, Gu Xiyue’s eyes paused briefly before she continued to ask, "After that, did Yue Lan come to look for Gu Zhiqi?"
Gu Xiyue knew that Tang Yun and Yue Lan were very close, and Tang Yun knew that Yue Lan had been researching the Phoenix Sleep Fragrance all this while.
Given their relationship, once Tang Yun recognized the Phoenix Sleep Fragrance, she would certainly inform Yue Lan right away.
Upon hearing this, Gu Chengan uttered a puzzled "Ah," nodded his head, and then his expression darkened slightly as he spoke unhappily, "I don’t know what kind of bewitchment Gu Zhiqi fed Aunt Tang and Aunt Lan, but they both seem to like her a lot."
Seeing Gu Chengan nod, Gu Xiyue fell into deep thought, not paying attention to what he had just said.
She couldn’t stop recalling some of the events that had happened during this period.
Zhezhi had made the delivery to Yan City, and on that day, she happened to encounter Gu Zhiqi in Yan City.
In this way, some of the timelines also matched up.
Thinking of the Diviner Zhezhi, Gu Xiyue connected his name with that of Gu Zhiqi.
The nickname could be linked as well.
Throughout these days, she had also heard quite a few rumors about Zhezhi from her various friends, especially 007, who often mentioned him.
So, Gu Zhiqi was not only the creator of the Phoenix Sleep Fragrance but also the Diviner Zhezhi?
Gu Xiyue felt somewhat conflicted inside.
"Sister, are you okay?" Seeing that something seemed off with Gu Xiyue, Gu Chengan softly inquired.
Gu Chengan’s voice brought Gu Xiyue back to her senses, and with a slightly complex expression, she shook her head at Gu Chengan, "I’m fine."
After responding to Gu Chengan’s inquiry, Gu Xiyue looked up and said to him, "Don’t tell anyone else that Gu Zhiqi can refine incense."
Gu Xiyue knew how many people were crazy for the Phoenix Sleep Fragrance.
If Gu Chengan were to leak this information, it could bring trouble to Gu Zhiqi or even lead to deadly complications, and the Gu Family might hold Gu Chengan accountable.
Considering Gu Chengan’s safety, Gu Xiyue felt it necessary to warn him about this.
"Huh? Refine fragrances? Gu Zhiqi can also refine fragrances?" Gu Chengan said, his expression changing abruptly as he suddenly lowered his head and looked at the fragrance pouch in Gu Xiyue’s hand in shock, "Sister, are you saying that this is incense?"
As a second-order Ancient martial artist who needed assistive incense during his training, Gu Chengan naturally knew what incense was.
However, since he began his martial training, Gu Xiyue and Yue Lan had provided him with enough assistive incense.
