78 -78: You’re Going to Die; Xia Countrymen Do Not Deceive Each Other
Yun Sen reluctantly carried the Green Crystal Grass and moved to stand in front of Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi looked up at Yun Sen and spoke in a detached, languid voice, “You’re going to die.”
No sooner had Gu Zhiqi spoken than Su Yunling abruptly turned her head to look at her, her peach-blossom eyes half-closed, a deep meaning flickering within.
Gu Zhiqi’s lips bore an unrestrained, careless smile, and she gestured to Yun Sen with a light hook of her index finger, “Lean in with your ear, and I’ll tell you the secret to breaking the spell.”
Yun Sen didn’t move, but Su Yunling did.
With deliberate slowness, he lifted a hand and pressed Yun Sen’s head toward Gu Zhiqi, watching Gu Zhiqi with a smile of noble elegance, and said languidly, “Go ahead.”
Not only did Su Yunling’s action perplex Yun Sen, but it also caused Gu Zhiqi to pause for two seconds, raise her eyebrows, and then whisper a few words into Yun Sen’s ear in a low voice.
After hearing what was said, Yun Sen’s face underwent a sudden change.
As Gu Zhiqi finished speaking, Su Yunling let go, instantly reverting to his lazy and elegant demeanor.
It was as if the person who had just forced Yun Sen to cooperate with Gu Zhiqi wasn’t him.
The bystanders watched in wonder.
The moment his head was released, Yun Sen abruptly turned to look in the direction of Fu Hong and Xiao Yixue, and his face turned extremely ugly upon seeing something.
“Is what you said true?” After a while, Yun Sen finally came back to his senses and asked Gu Zhiqi, his brows knit with solemnity and a hint of coldness in his eyes.
“Of course it’s true, people from Xia Country don’t deceive each other.” Gu Zhiqi finished speaking, and suddenly reached out to pluck two leaves from the Green Crystal Grass in Yun Sen’s embrace.
My treasure’s been plucked again?!
Indeed, someone was coveting my treasure!
He looked at Gu Zhiqi, who had stealthily plucked from his treasure, with an accusing expression.
Gu Zhiqi lazily lifted her eyelids, glanced at Yun Sen, and said indifferently, “Compensation.”
With a pitiful glance at Gu Zhiqi, he didn’t say anything further but rather quickly retreated while clutching his treasure.
Upon reaching Fu Hong and Xiao Yixue, he immediately urged them to move, “Hurry!
It was as if there was a flood or ferocious beast chasing him.
“What did you tell him?”
As soon as Yun Sen left, Su Yunling, somewhat curious, asked.
Once the question was raised, all the onlookers turned toward Gu Zhiqi, their curiosity no less intense than Su Yunling’s.
Everyone present knew how much Yun Sen treasured that pot of grass.
No one could touch it except Su Yunling; anyone else who tried would be fighting for their life.
Yet now, two leaves had been taken by this little girl, and Yun Sen had hardly reacted.
“Want to know?” Gu Zhiqi played with the two leaves she had just plucked, her lips curling into an amused smile, as she looked up at Su Yunling with a lazy, languid grin.
She was the spitting image of a little fox, one that had no idea what sort of mischief it was plotting.
Seeing this, Su Yunling understood the child’s meaning.
His eyes sparkled with laughter, and with a lazy smile, he said, “Master Zhi?”
Su Yunling called out “Master Zhi” with utter nonchalance.
Meanwhile, those holding the Green Crystal Grass looked at each other, eyes all reading the same message.
Their master had gone mad.
The corridor was quiet for a few seconds.
Su Yunling’s compliance brought a raised eyebrow from Gu Zhiqi, who stared at him for several seconds.
Sensing Gu Zhiqi hadn’t spoken for a while, Su Yunling spoke up again, his tone tinged with jest, “Could it be that I misunderstood?
Gu Zhiqi was silent for a moment before speaking languidly, “There is a bracelet on her wrist, emitting the scent of Fiery Flame Grass.”
