"Were those formations on the boxes set up by you earlier?" Xuan Lingzi finally came to terms with the reality that Mo Qingsnow’s entire fortune had been looted, and recalled this matter, looking at Gu Zhiqi and asking.
Gu Zhiqi shifted her gaze back to the book, replying indifferently, "So what?"
Xuan Lingzi asked again, "Did you know I was inside the dark room as soon as you entered?"
Because he heard that Mo Qingsnow might be doomed, he thought of grabbing some treasures and running for it.
Unexpectedly, upon entering the dark room, he discovered formations on those boxes.
He tried many methods to break the formations, but none succeeded.
Finally, he had to give up and was just about to leave when he heard activity at the door of the dark room, so he stuck on a breath concealment talisman and an invisibility talisman, hiding in the corner of the alchemy room.
Then he saw Gu Zhiqi and the others enter.
Afterwards, he saw Gu Zhiqi wave at those boxes, and he thought the formations were broken. He moved forward hoping to steal some items, but the formations weren’t broken. Instead, he was repelled by the formations and got caught.
He didn’t think much at the moment, but looking back now, it seemed like the wave Gu Zhiqi made was specifically to lure him out.
So, she must have sensed his presence.
Hearing Xuan Lingzi’s question, Gu Zhiqi casually nodded.
"How did you discover it?" At that time, he had used both a breath concealment talisman and an invisibility talisman, not knowing where he had slipped up.
Gu Zhiqi replied, "There was a burnt smell of your clothes in the air."
Receiving this answer, Xuan Lingzi paused, then nodded in realization a few seconds later, "Oh, that’s why."
While trying to break the formations, he had used several offensive talisman papers to attack the formations, but failed. Instead, he was counterattacked by the formations, and his clothes caught fire, burning several holes and making him look disheveled.
Gu Zhiqi switched to another book, continuing to bury her head in reading.
"Master, are you also a Mystic Master?" Xuan Lingzi moved closer to Gu Zhiqi, laughing cheekily.
"Hmm." Gu Zhiqi responded perfunctorily, casually closing the book she had flipped through and putting it back on the shelf, while taking out her phone from her pocket.
"Then what order of Mystic Master are you?" Xuan Lingzi asked with a curious and expectant look.
Being able to set up such powerful formations, she must be a very skilled Mystic Master.
While sending a message to Chubby Chiu, Gu Zhiqi replied, "A bit higher than you."
A bit higher than him?
He was a half-order Mystic Master, so if she was a bit higher than him...
Xuan Lingzi asked, "Are you a First Order Mystic Master?"
Gu Zhiqi nodded, "Hmm."
Xuan Lingzi felt half convinced, full of doubt in his heart, is a First Order Mystic Master really this powerful?
Just after Gu Zhiqi had given Xuan Lingzi a perfunctory reply, Chubby Chiu who had witnessed the entire scene sent a message.
[First Jiu: Zhizhi, you’re brushing him off again]
She had just messaged Chubby Chiu to have it copy all the books in Mo Qingsnow’s study.
At this moment, Chubby Chiu had already flown away from Su Yunling’s button and was shuttling between the books on the shelf.
While copying the book contents, it replied to Gu Zhiqi’s message.
[First Jiu: Stop urging, stop urging, this is already the fastest speed]
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi didn’t urge further, took another book from the shelf, flipping through it while saying to Su Yunling, "If you have other things to do, go ahead. I need to stay here and read for a while."
Judging by Chubby Chiu’s speed, it would take about ten minutes to copy all the books in the study, so she planned to read for another ten minutes.
