Listening to Gu Zhiqi’s question, Su Yunling pondered for a few seconds before replying with a phrase, "Not entirely."
Gu Zhiqi heard his vague answer and didn’t ask any further.
Because of the soundproofing effects of the Formation, one couldn’t hear any noise from inside while outside the yard. Once inside the yard, however, the sounds of conversation coming from the living room could be heard.
Su Yunling and Gu Zhiqi had just reached the entrance of the living room when someone noticed them.
"Gu Xiaoxi, you’re here!" Tang Yichen was the first to spot Gu Zhiqi and immediately waved his arm towards him.
Following Tang Yichen’s shout, several people gathered around the dining table turned their heads to look towards the entrance.
"Little Fairy!" Su Luo also raised his hand and waved to Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi nodded slightly in greeting and then entered the room with Su Yunling.
In the living room, aside from Tang Yichen, Fu Xiyan, and Su Luo, there was also a handsome young man.
The young man sat in a wheelchair, his complexion pale and his features bearing a few traces of illness, exuding an aura both cold and serious. At this moment, he was slightly lifting his gaze towards the door with a clear, cold look in his eyes.
"This is my childhood friend, Jin Cengran." Su Yunling first introduced him to Gu Zhiqi and then turned to Jin Cengran, "Brother Jin, the child I mentioned to you earlier." Thinking that he hadn’t mentioned Gu Zhiqi’s name to Jin Cengran before, he added, "Her name is Gu Zhiqi."
Listening to Su Yunling’s introduction, Gu Zhiqi nodded slightly towards Jin Cengran.
She remembered his appearance in the novel, a supporting male character, one of the leaders of the Ever Winning Army.
Previously, when Su Yunling discussed it with her, Gu Zhiqi had a rough guess.
Now it seemed that the person she was supposed to treat indeed was him.
Listening to Su Yunling’s introduction, Jin Cengran was momentarily stunned.
This young girl was the Divine Doctor meant to treat him?
Wasn’t she a little too young?
He had held some expectations, but now, he couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.
He was aware of his own condition; these past two years, his family and several childhood friends had sought countless famous doctors for him.
Even those highly skilled doctors from the Immortal Medical Alliance were called upon exhaustively.
But none of it worked.
If those Immortal Doctors couldn’t cure him, how could a young girl...
Though his heart was filled with disappointment, his face didn’t show it.
After all, it was his childhood friend who had brought her.
And besides, she was a young girl; he couldn’t let her see his disappointment and upset her unnecessarily.
While his mind was filled with thoughts, his face remained composed as he nodded slightly towards Gu Zhiqi.
Su Yunling pulled out the chair next to Tang Yichen that had been left vacant and beckoned to Gu Zhiqi, "Come and sit here."
"Thank you." Gu Zhiqi wasn’t formal and walked over to take the seat.
Oberserving this scene, Jin Cengran’s expression shifted subtly, and he couldn’t help but give Gu Zhiqi another glance.
After Gu Zhiqi sat down, Su Yunling took the seat that was vacant beside her, settling in and saying, "Let’s eat first, we can talk afterward."
"Right, let’s eat. Gu Xiaoxi, try this, you love sweet and sour pork ribs." Tang Yichen beamed proudly as he placed a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into Gu Zhiqi’s plate, continuing, "This was personally made by Third Brother."
Gu Zhiqi uttered a soft "Oh" and began chewing on the piece of rib that she had put into her mouth.
Jin Cengran sat directly opposite Gu Zhiqi and as she lowered her head to eat, he found that from this angle, the young girl looked somewhat familiar.
That fleeting sense of familiarity was gone in an instant, and when he tried to take a closer look, he couldn’t find that sense of familiarity anymore.
