Although Gu Huaijin’s words sounded somewhat absurd, Gu Xiyue still believed them to a great extent.
Being a member of the Mysterious Sect herself, she knew that the Soul Exchange Technique existed among the Forbidden Techniques of the Sect.
Therefore, she guessed that Gu Zhiqi must have been subjected to the Soul Exchange Technique, her body taken over by someone else.
Perhaps out of fear that Gu Xiyue might feel unsettled, Gu Huaijin even promised to send Gu Zhiqi away and assured that he would not bring her back to the Gu Family until the real her returned.
In the end, Gu Xiyue still let Gu Zhiqi off the hook.
One reason was a certain suspicion in her mind.
The other was her curiosity about what kind of person the real Gu Zhiqi was, to make the Gu Family tolerate a different soul for two years, just waiting for her return.
Yu Luowan, upon hearing Gu Zhiqi’s words, was momentarily confused, "Hm? Different? What’s different?"
Gu Xiyue did not answer Yu Luowan’s question, but instead steered the conversation towards the matter at hand, "You just mentioned on the phone that your cousin is better, what happened?"
Hearing this, Yu Luowan finally remembered the important matter, "Yes, Sister Feng He is already better. Brother Huaijin had a divine healer cure her," she said, looking at Gu Xiyue with apologetic eyes, "Yueyue, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you in time."
When Luo Fenghe woke up, she was so caught up in the happiness that she went to sleep because she was too tired, completely forgetting to tell Gu Xiyue.
It was only when Gu Xiyue called her and woke her up just now that she belatedly remembered her plea to Gu Xiyue last night and realized she hadn’t updated Gu Xiyue about the subsequent events.
As for Yu Luowan’s failure to inform her of the news promptly, Gu Xiyue did not take it to heart, "It’s no big deal."
"I knew you’re the best," Yu Luowan said, hugging Gu Xiyue’s arm and rubbing against it, then pulling her into the villa, "Although Sister Feng He has been healed, you haven’t met her yet. That’s just not right. Come on, let me take you to see her."
Gu Xiyue did not refuse, allowing Yu Luowan to pull her towards the villa.
As they reached the villa’s entrance, they saw two people walking out of the living room.
One was Luo Shuangshuang, holding her arm, a painful expression on her face and tears streaming down her cheeks; the other was Jiang Fen, cursing and swearing.
The four of them met at the entrance, and Yu Luowan immediately pulled Gu Xiyue to the side, wearing a look of disgust.
Jiang Fen, too, was not in the mood to say anything to Yu Luowan, and continued to curse as she walked outside with Luo Shuangshuang.
Gu Xiyue thought she heard Gu Zhiqi’s name come from Jiang Fen’s mouth.
It was only after entering the living room that Gu Xiyue, driven by curiosity, asked, "What just happened? She seemed to be scolding Gu Zhiqi."
If she remembered correctly, the girl holding her arm and crying was supposedly a friend of "Gu Zhiqi".
"What else could it be? Their plastic sisterhood fell apart," Yu Luowan said, with a touch of schadenfreude, "Her arm was broken by Gu Zhiqi."
It had to be said, Gu Zhiqi did something human this time.
Gu Xiyue raised an eyebrow.
"Hey? Yueyue, you came so early, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? I can ask Aunt Chen to..."
"No need, I’ve already eaten."
She was not accustomed to eating at other people’s homes.
So, right after getting off the plane, she bought something to eat to tide her over.
"Ah, okay, then let’s go see Sister Feng He first," Yu Luowan said, pulling Gu Xiyue upstairs.
The door to Luo Fenghe’s room was ajar. Yu Luowan quietly pushed it open and peeked around the doorframe, intending to check whether Luo Fenghe was asleep or awake.
However, at just one glance, Yu Luowan’s eyes widened dramatically, a wild fire of gossip flaring up in their depths.
