Hearing the commotion, Gu Zhiqi finished questioning and stood up, turning back to ask Gu Xiyue, "Back already?"
Sweat dotted Gu Xiyue’s face in a fine sheen as she looked at Gu Zhiqi with a complex expression. "Can I know, you... just how high is your cultivation level?"
Gu Zhiqi: "Just a little bit higher than yours, I guess."
Gu Xiyue: Are you sure it’s just a little bit, not a whole lot?
Ignoring Gu Xiyue’s complex look, Gu Zhiqi extended her hand and pointed at the black-clothed person lying on the ground. "Sent by Mo Qingsnow to kill us both."
At this, Gu Xiyue felt somewhat surprised. She wasn’t very shocked at the idea of Mo Qingsnow wanting her dead, but the notion that Mo Qingsnow wanted to kill Gu Zhiqi was quite unexpected.
As for Mo Qingsnow wanting her dead, Gu Zhiqi was not at all surprised.
"If Mo Qingsnow is killed, will people from the Medical Alliance come after me?" Gu Zhiqi asked Gu Xiyue.
Gu Xiyue shook her head: "No."
She herself wanted to kill Mo Qingsnow.
"Then let’s go, time to settle the score." With that, Gu Zhiqi picked up the black-clothed person, who had been beaten to a swollen mess, from the ground and started walking in the direction of the Medical Alliance.
Gu Xiyue watched her do this, fell silent for a moment, and then swiftly glanced over the people lying on the ground.
Apart from the one who’d been stepped on by Gu Zhiqi and had fallen unconscious, all the others were already dead, their fatal wounds on their necks, tiny and seemingly made by something sharp and fine.
There was even a leaf stuck in the neck of one of them.
It looked like they had all been killed by having their throats cut by leaves.
Gu Xiyue was taken aback, Pluck Leaf Flying Flower?
She knew how to injure people with Pluck Leaf Flying Flower but dealing a lethal blow with one strike seemed a bit difficult.
Standing still for a few seconds, when she came to her senses, she realized Gu Zhiqi was already far ahead, so she quickly stepped up and followed.
Upon their return to the Medical Alliance, they found it unusually quiet. As they walked, they didn’t even encounter a single disciple.
A sense of foreboding rose within Gu Xiyue, "Not good, something might have happened."
Gu Zhiqi also nodded in agreement.
"Let’s go back and see." Gu Xiyue said, quickening her pace, with Gu Zhiqi immediately following.
When they reached the courtyard, they found it bereft of people, even the guards at the entrance were missing.
"I’ll go see the Alliance Hierarch." Gu Xiyue was about to step out when her arm was pulled back.
Gu Xiyue turned to look at Gu Zhiqi.
"That way." Gu Zhiqi pointed in a certain direction, "Gu Huaijin and the others are all there."
Gu Xiyue looked in the direction she pointed, towards the Law Enforcement Hall.
Pausing for a moment, she asked, "How do you know that?"
Gu Zhiqi answered confidently, "Just a divination."
Gu Xiyue fell silent upon hearing this, then remembered that Gu Zhiqi really seemed to be capable of fortune-telling.
It appears that the Diviner known as Zhezhi on the networking site is indeed Gu Zhiqi.
"Let’s go." Gu Xiyue said, heading in the direction of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Seeing that she didn’t doubt her at all, Gu Zhiqi felt a bit surprised, "You believe me?"
"Why?" Gu Zhiqi knew that Gu Huaijin and Gu Mengyang’s first reaction upon hearing that she could tell fortunes was disbelief.
Gu Xiyue: "Because of Zhezhi."
As Gu Xiyue hurried toward the Law Enforcement Hall, she explained: "I bought Phoenix Sleep Fragrance through Zhezhi, and the person who refines Phoenix Sleep Fragrance is you, so I guessed Zhezhi is you."
Gu Zhiqi fell silent for a moment and then gave Gu Xiyue a thumbs up, "As expected of you."
Indeed worthy of being the protagonist, to guess such a thing.
If it had been her, she probably would have been too lazy to guess.
