Gu Xiyue simply responded with a faint "oh," and then averted her gaze before adding another sentence, "I may be younger in age, but I hold a higher seniority than you."
Before Fu Xiyan could speak, Gu Xiyue continued, "The affairs of Little Master Aunt are not for you to manage."
After being silent for a few seconds, he responded, "Fine, I’ll stay out of it."
Having said that, he turned around and walked away in a huff, casting a faint glance at Jiang Qi before turning. s
Scared by this, Jiang Qi took two steps back.
This damn girl, that look in her eyes towards him held a murderous intent, didn’t it?
"Fu Xiyan." Just as Fu Xiyan had walked a few steps, he heard the familiar cold voice from behind.
Fu Xiyan, still feeling upset, did not turn around, but he did stop in his tracks.
"He wasn’t calling for me just now, he has a girlfriend."
Fu Xiyan heard this, was slightly stunned for a moment, and then the discomfort in his heart instantly dissipated, as the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward.
After Gu Xiyue finished speaking, she began to walk toward the gate of the yard.
Fu Xiyan had initially wanted to climb over the wall to get out, but suddenly he didn’t feel like climbing anymore. He turned around, took a few big steps to Gu Xiyue’s side, and followed her towards the gate, "This yard is yours, isn’t it, Minister Yue Xi?"
"Mhm," Gu Xiyue replied blandly.
"You don’t mind me climbing in over the wall and walking out the door, do you?"
Gu Xiyue: "...Do as you please."
Watching the two walk side by side towards the gate, Jiang Qi raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, "What’s going on? Is the boss finally... moved by worldly emotions?"
"Hiss~ Of all people to like, he had to fall for the second in command of the Ever Winning Army." Jiang Qi murmured under his breath, following behind the two at a moderate distance.
After giving the elixir to Jin Cengran, Gu Zhiqi returned to her room to start drawing talismans.
Once her Yuan Force had recovered, she didn’t focus solely on mending her mental method; sometimes, she would also draw talismans.
This time, she bought many pieces of talisman paper. After drawing the talismans needed for array setup, she still had to draw some additional talismans to stock up for future needs.
Sitting earnestly at her desk drawing talismans, after about half an hour, Chubby Chiu’s voice suddenly rang in her mind, "Zhizhi, I’ve finished self-studying this world’s textbooks meow~ You lost yo~"
Hearing Chubby Chiu’s words, Gu Zhiqi’s talisman drawing hand paused briefly.
After pausing for a few seconds, she then remembered that she had previously talked about competing with Chubby Chiu to see who could finish studying this world’s curriculum first, in order to coax Chubby Chiu into recommending her resources.
"You’re really awesome." Gu Zhiqi replied perfunctorily.
"Shouldn’t there be a reward for winning?" Chubby Chiu asked expectantly.
"Then what’s the point of this competition?" Chubby Chiu asked with a whine.
It had studied day and night, refraining from spending too much time chatting with internet friends, all for the sake of winning this contest.
Now, it had indeed won, but to find out there was no reward?!
What was the point of its hard work then?
Gu Zhiqi offhandedly responded, "You’ve learned new knowledge, you’re more knowledgeable now."
After drawing two more talismans and putting them away, Gu Zhiqi started to pack up her things.
Chubby Chiu felt sorrowful for a few seconds but, seeing Gu Zhiqi packing up, pushed its gloom aside and asked curiously, "Zhizhi, are you going out?"
"It’s time to go back to Sea City." The elixirs were finished; it was time to return to studying.
Upon hearing Gu Zhiqi’s words, Chubby Chiu immediately said, "That’s right, the first mock exam for the senior year at Sea City No.1 Middle School is in half a month, you should go back and study seriously for the sake of a leave of absence."
