Su Yunling looked at the dozen or so boxes filled to the brim in front of him and fell silent.
After several seconds, he took a step forward, intending to put away the boxes, but his sleeve was tugged.
Su Yunling turned his head to look at Gu Zhiqi, his eyes filled with a questioning look.
Gu Zhiqi did not speak. She just pulled Su Yunling to the side. Su Yunling was confused but followed her a few steps away.
As soon as Su Yunling took a step, he felt the presence of a fourth person in the dark room, moving from the doorway towards the boxes.
When they approached the boxes, a flash of light appeared on the boxes, revealing a semi-transparent formation.
With a buzzing sound from the formation, a scream echoed in the dark room.
They only heard the scream but did not see anyone. Fu Yu was startled, taking several steps back until he was against the wall, his eyes filled with vigilance, "Who?"
Su Yunling squinted his eyes slightly, staring at the spot where the scream had come from, his eyes filled with caution.
As soon as the scream started, a blue light flashed in Gu Zhiqi’s eyes.
She quickly scanned the dark room and then turned into a blur, rushing towards the doorway.
Soon, the sound of fighting could be heard in the dark room, but Su Yunling and Fu Yu could only see Gu Zhiqi seemingly fighting with someone, but they couldn’t see who Gu Zhiqi was fighting.
Watching this, Fu Yu felt a chill down his back, silently shrinking back, wondering if Miss Gu could see things they couldn’t.
Gu Zhiqi moved so fast that her moves were almost invisible and quickly stopped.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, mercy, great aunt."
An unfamiliar voice echoed in the dark room, coming from Gu Zhiqi’s direction.
Su Yunling and Fu Yu simultaneously looked at Gu Zhiqi, only to see that her hand seemed to be restraining something.
As a flash of light passed through Gu Zhiqi’s hand, an old man with white hair and a white beard appeared in front of her.
Wearing a black and gray Daoist robe, the robe seemed to have been burned in several places, looking quite tattered.
Fu Yu fell silent, thinking this person must have just escaped from a fire.
He was also quite surprised that although the person was an old man, his voice sounded young.
"Gently, gently, it hurts," the old man said with a pained look, constantly crying out in pain, but a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"Hiss~" The more the old man cried out in pain, the tighter Gu Zhiqi’s grip on his arm became, causing the old man to hiss in pain.
Gu Zhiqi controlled the old man, pressing him against the wall at the dark room’s doorway, asking in a cold voice, "Who are you?"
Upon hearing this, the old man immediately widened his eyes, "I should be asking you that! You trespassed into my cave and coveted my treasures, and now you ask... Ouch, ouch, ouch."
Gu Zhiqi said, "Less nonsense, answer my questions."
The old man’s face twisted in pain as he nodded repeatedly upon hearing Gu Zhiqi, "Okay, okay, you ask, you ask, just please be gentler."
"My Daoist name is Xuan Lingzi... Ouch~" He was trying to act dignified, but the pain in his arm made him wail, and he quickly responded concisely, "Xuan Lingzi, my name is Xuan Lingzi."
Gu Zhiqi asked, "Which sect?"
"I am from..." Xuan Lingzi intended to act dignified and bluff some more, but recalling the pain, he quickly changed his tone, fawning, "Feng Shui Alliance."
Upon hearing this name, all three present frowned simultaneously.
Since it was the same name as her master’s sect on Aquamarine Star, Gu Zhiqi remembered it clearly.
