"Big brother." Upon seeing Gu Huaijin come out, Gu Xiyue greeted him.
Gu Huaijin nodded, then looked around, "Have you seen Qiqi?"
That little girl said she wanted to step outside to get some air, but now she was nowhere to be seen.
After hearing him, Gu Xiyue shook her head; she had come out upon hearing Jiang Qi’s screams and had not seen Gu Zhiqi afterwards.
Gu Xiyue was unaware of Gu Zhiqi’s whereabouts, but Gu Min knew, "Master Zhi went to the pavilion over there, with Gu Ying accompanying her."
Gu Huaijin nodded, then addressed Gu Xiyue, "The matter here is resolved; we are getting ready to leave. Do you want to go back with us?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiyue was startled for a moment and then shook her head, "There are still matters here that need to be handled."
She had returned to the Medical Alliance to deal with the issue of disciples coercing others into transactions; since the matter was not yet settled, she naturally couldn’t leave.
Upon seeing this, Gu Huaijin nodded.
"Young Friend Gu, you’ve only just arrived and you’re already leaving? Stay for a few days," Elder Mo said, having not seen Gu Huaijin for a long time and wanting to catch up with his longstanding friend.
Fine, catching up was a pretense, he actually wanted to inquire about some matters.
Gu Huaijin hesitated upon hearing this; it wasn’t a big deal for him, but the young girl needed to return to school.
"The matters concerning Yue Girl will be handled in a few days, and your other sister is visiting the Medical Alliance for the first time, right? The scenery here is quite nice. Why not stay for a few days? When Yue Girl’s matters are settled, you can all leave together." Elder Mo suggested and tugged on Gu Xiyue’s sleeve, adding, "Don’t you agree, Yue girl?"
Gu Xiyue: "... Let’s stay for a few days; she should like the Medical Alliance."
She knew that Gu Zhiqi was a Fragrance Refiner and also skilled in medicine; aside from the pleasant scenery, the Medical Alliance had many precious herbs, which Gu Zhiqi would surely love.
Upon hearing this, Gu Huaijin thought something similar to Gu Xiyue, "Then, let me ask for her opinion." He then looked at Mo Canglan, "If my younger sister agrees to stay, we will need Elder Mo to arrange a few guest rooms."
Mo Canglan immediately responded, "Of course."
After chatting with Mo Canglan for a while longer, Gu Huaijin went to look for Gu Zhiqi.
When he found Gu Zhiqi, she was resting with her eyes closed on a chair under the pavilion.
As Gu Huaijin approached, Gu Ying shushed him gently, then came to his side and whispered, "Eldest Young Master, Master Zhi is asleep."
Upon hearing this, Gu Huaijin paused in his steps, feeling somewhat troubled.
She had been sleeping comfortably in a big bed, and it was he who had woken her up in the middle of the night. She had only dozed off for a bit on the airplane, and now she was likely exhausted, having fallen asleep right in the chair.
After gently nodding at Gu Ying, he approached Gu Zhiqi quietly and gently lifted her into his arms.
Just as he had picked her up, Mo Canglan and Gu Xiyue also arrived at the pavilion, and both paused at the sight of Gu Zhiqi in Gu Huaijin’s arms.
"Young Friend Gu, what’s this?"
"She must be tired, she fell asleep," Gu Huaijin replied and continued speaking to Mo Canglan, "Please arrange four guest rooms for us."
He, along with Gu Ying and Gu Min, also hadn’t slept all night and needed rest.
"The rooms at my place are empty; stay with me," Gu Xiyue quickly said before Mo Canglan could speak.
After hearing her, Mo Canglan blinked subtly and glanced sideways at Gu Xiyue.
The rooms in her courtyard?
Weren’t they not casually offered to just anyone?
After a few seconds of silence, Mo Canglan nonchalantly nodded, "Indeed, that is appropriate; your family should be accommodated in your courtyard."
