Hearing Lu Xingzhe’s words, Gu Zhiqi lifted her head to look outside the car.
There really was a traffic jam, and a long one at that; she couldn’t see the end of it.
"Strange, this road isn’t usually this congested. What’s going on today?" Gu Qi mumbled softly.
"Zhizhi, I suspect, the bad luck on Lu Xingzhe has truly rubbed off on you," Chubby Chiu suddenly said in Gu Zhiqi’s mind.
It wasn’t out of the realm of possibility.
Even if she couldn’t catch it, it could definitely spread to the driver.
After some thought, Gu Zhiqi suddenly looked at Lu Xingzhe and said, "Lu Xingzhe."
When Lu Xingzhe heard Gu Zhiqi calling him, he subconsciously looked back, "Hmm?"
"How about you get off the car for a bit?"
"I’m not getting off," Lu Xingzhe replied with a sour tone.
Hearing this, Gu Zhiqi fell silent, pondering whether to kick Lu Xingzhe out or to break the curse on him.
Considering they were on a main road, Gu Zhiqi decided against kicking Lu Xingzhe out. She gently moved her fingers, sketching a small formation in the air and infused it into Lu Xingzhe’s body.
Gu Xiyue, who was playing games beside her, felt the fluctuation of Yuan Force, looked up and saw.
She caught sight of the formation glowing with white light entering Lu Xingzhe’s body.
Gu Xiyue was slightly stunned then turned her head to look at Gu Zhiqi, "Did you draw that?"
Gu Zhiqi nonchalantly withdrew her hand from drawing the formation, turned her head towards Gu Xiyue, "What?"
Gu Zhiqi immediately shook her head in denial, "Not me."
Gu Zhiqi wouldn’t admit it, and Gu Xiyue couldn’t force her to, so she didn’t press further, only slightly lowering her gaze, preoccupied with her thoughts.
It seemed that Gu Zhiqi’s cultivation level was not shallow.
Yet, if she was so powerful, why was she subjected to the Soul-Seizing Technique?
Not long after the curse on Lu Xingzhe was lifted, the road that was previously gridlocked cleared up.
Thirty minutes later, the car entered the Gu Family Manor.
Lu Xingzhe hadn’t visited the Gu Family Manor in a long time, and once the car entered the manor, he put all his attention on the scenery outside the window, his eyes shaded with a touch of nostalgia, and he couldn’t help but ask, "Qiqi, when did this area turn into a Rose Garden?"
As soon as the words ’Miss Qiqi’ left his mouth, a flicker of regret passed through Lu Xingzhe’s eyes.
"Forgot," Gu Zhiqi responded perfunctorily.
Listening to Gu Zhiqi’s dismissive answer, Lu Xingzhe repressed the regret in his eyes and coldly uttered an "Oh," then added with a cold tone, "This Rose Garden is ugly as sin, nowhere near as good-looking as the previous Overflowing Star Creeper."
As soon as Lu Xingzhe spoke, both Gu Zhiqi and Gu Xiyue seated in the back lifted their eyes to look at him.
Gu Zhiqi said in a ghostly voice, "The Overflowing Star Creeper that used to grow here?"
"Yeah, that one! The trellis over the corridor was full of Overflowing Star Creeper, and the flower beds bloomed with various colors. The flowering lasted long, with different blooming periods, so flowers could be enjoyed all year round," Lu Xingzhe recounted, speaking of the old manor as if it were his own home, with a high level of familiarity.
"So that vine which bloomed like stars was the Overflowing Star Creeper," Gu Qi also remembered the past manor and casually joined in the conversation.
"Later, where did the Overflowing Star Creeper go?" Gu Zhiqi inquired while eyeing Gu Qi and Lu Xingzhe, her voice sounding a bit chilly.
Lu Xingzhe didn’t know about it, but Gu Qi replied, "Miss Qiqi, you lost your memory, so you don’t remember. All those Overflowing Star Creepers were dug out by you later."
The original owner was such a squanderer!
