Just as he arrived at the study’s doorway, the door was already being opened.
"Third Brother, you’re back?" Tang Yichen, holding a fruit plate in one hand and leaning on the door with the other, asked Su Yunling. After asking, he stepped aside to let Su Yunling in.
Su Yunling had no intention of entering. He looked at Tang Yichen and asked, "Has the child left?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yichen instantly remembered Gu Zhiqi had left and nodded towards Su Yunling.
Upon hearing the answer, Su Yunling’s eyes deepened, and the air around him grew a few degrees colder.
Indeed, such a heartless child, leaving without even saying goodbye to him.
Tang Yichen, feeling the chill emanating from Su Yunling, shrank his shoulders slightly, "Well, I tried to keep her, but I couldn’t."
"Hmm," Su Yunling responded indifferently.
Realizing that he was still unhappy, Tang Yichen added, "She said she would send you a message to say goodbye. Didn’t you receive it?"
At these words, Su Yunling’s brows and lashes trembled slightly as he walked into the study.
Seeing Jin Cengran seated on the sofa in meditation, Su Yunling paused, then turned back to look at Tang Yichen, with questioning in his eyes.
"After taking the elixir, he’s been meditating ever since. It’s been ten hours now."
Su Yunling nodded and walked to the conference table, taking out his powered-off phone from the Storage Ring and charging it, "Did you mention this situation to the child?"
He hadn’t used the phone while on the mission, and only after completing it did he realize the battery had died. Without time to charge it, he rushed back immediately.
He had hoped to return earlier, to see her before she went to bed, but to his surprise, she had already left.
Hearing Su Yunling’s question, Gu Zhiqi immediately nodded, "I’ve asked about it. Gu Xiaoxi said that Brother Jin’s injuries had been neglected for quite some time, so the time needed to heal the internal injuries and Rebuild Foundation would be longer, around 10 to 12 hours for the first session."
Su Yunling nodded again but didn’t speak further.
At this moment, the phone also powered on, and Su Yunling promptly opened WeChat.
He discovered that Gu Zhiqi had sent him a message at seven in the evening.
[Xiao Qi: Brother, I’ve returned to Haicheng and am already home]
Left at eleven, only messaged him at seven...
She probably remembered to send the message three or four hours after getting home, didn’t she?
Ten o’clock in the evening.
Gu Zhiqi received a message from Jin Cengran.
[Jin Cengran: The mental method is called Myriad Spirits Decision.]
Gu Zhiqi, looking at his message, fell silent once again.
Could it be that someone had just happened to create a mental method that by coincidence had the same content and name as the one she had created?
Is that even possible?
[Little Divine Doctor: Do you know who created this mental method in your family?]
[Jin Cengran: I’m not sure who exactly created it, but I know it was passed down by an elder named Jin Yuan.]
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi arched her eyebrows slightly. Was it also five hundred years ago?
She remembered that Yun Qian, the elder of the Yun Family mentioned by Su Yunling, passed down the Leviathan Referral five hundred years ago as well.
Is this a coincidence, or is there some connection?
[Little Divine Doctor: Is this elder of yours still alive?]
[Jin Cengran: I don’t think so.]
To Jin Cengran’s thinking, someone from five hundred years ago couldn’t possibly be alive today.
Gu Zhiqi, seeing this very familiar response, fell silent once more.
[Jin Cengran: After taking the elixir, I feel my internal injuries have improved a lot. Thank you, Little Divine Doctor.]
While Gu Zhiqi was silent on one end, Jin Cengran sent another message expressing his gratitude.
