Another person, clad in emerald green... plastic clothing?
To be specific, it was a plastic raincoat, the color of banyan leaves, with the zipper pulled tight, fastening the hood of the raincoat securely to the head. Due to the motion of swinging their arms, the hood had fallen, revealing a head of short, choppy hair.
At that moment, Gu Mengyang finally realized that the person wearing the plastic raincoat was a man, but as for the other... they were wrapped up too tightly to make out their face.
It was only early September, not cold at all, yet dressed , he felt somewhat warm on their behalf.
Gu Mengyang was silent, and so was Gu Zhiqi.
Observing their attire, Gu Zhiqi began to wonder if such an outfit was the uniform within their Master’s Sect.
It didn’t take long before Lv Yao and his female senior walked up to Gu Zhiqi and Gu Mengyang. As they approached, Lv Yao greeted Gu Zhiqi, "Master Zhezhi, we meet again."
Hearing Lv Yao’s address for Gu Zhiqi, Gu Mengyang glanced sideways at Gu Zhiqi.
The little girl’s new alias?
Gu Zhiqi didn’t notice Gu Mengyang’s glance and simply nodded lightly to Lv Yao.
"Master, this is my senior sister, Jin Cenglv. Senior sister, this is Master Zhezhi," Lv Yao quickly introduced Gu Zhiqi and Jin Cenglv to each other.
Gu Zhiqi nodded towards Jin Cenglv and said, "Hello."
The girl’s voice was cold and languid, as if drenched in a cool autumn rain, giving off a vague and refreshing feeling.
Jin Cenglv’s ears twitched and she lifted her head to glance at Gu Zhiqi, then nodded back at her before quickly lowering her gaze, remaining silent.
Seeing this, Lv Yao scratched his head and immediately said to Gu Zhiqi, "Er, my senior sister is quite shy and doesn’t like to talk much, don’t mind her."
"No problem," Gu Zhiqi replied, stepping aside and gesturing to Lv Yao and Jin Cenglv to enter, "Please come in."
"Master, what kind of formation are you setting up?" Lv Yao was far too curious and seized the opportunity to ask Gu Zhiqi.
He had been curious about this since yesterday and was so excited that he barely slept last night.
Indeed, he got up before dawn today.
If he hadn’t been waiting for his senior sister, he would definitely have rushed over as soon as it got light.
"A Three-Star Talisman Array."
"Huh? What is that?" Lv Yao had never heard of such a formation.
Lv Yao was baffled, and Jin Cenglv, who had been paying close attention to the conversation next to him, was also full of questions; she hadn’t heard of this formation either.
"It’s a formation that draws destiny," Gu Zhiqi explained.
As soon as Gu Zhiqi said this, Lv Yao and Jin Cenglv both misunderstood and their expressions immediately changed.
Jin Cenglv frowned deeply and came to a halt, pulling Lv Yao along with her.
Being tugged, Lv Yao was also forced to stop. His expression was not much better, but since Gu Zhiqi had saved his life, he didn’t outwardly show his anger despite feeling it inside. He spoke with a slight apology, "Master, you saved my life, and by rights, I shouldn’t refuse any help you ask of me, but I won’t get involved in drawing someone’s destiny from them."
Lv Yao, dropping his usual simple-minded demeanor, spoke very seriously and earnestly.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi realized that there had been a misunderstanding and explained, "The destiny I’m going to draw is the part that doesn’t belong to her."
"Ha?" Gu Zhiqi’s words left Lv Yao a bit dumbfounded.
