Closing the door of the hotel room, Gu Zhiqi followed the two people towards the elevator.
"Master, what have you been doing these past two years?" Lan An walked beside Gu Zhiqi, looking at her as he asked, "You didn’t reply to my messages, I couldn’t reach you by phone, and I couldn’t find you anywhere."
As soon as Lan An asked this, Mu Huai also looked towards Gu Zhiqi.
After Central Continent City was attacked and Lan An was poisoned with Doomsday Scattering, the first person Mu Huai thought of to seek help from was Gu Zhiqi.
But no matter how he searched, he couldn’t find her or reach her.
In fact, he and Lan An had already lost contact with Gu Zhiqi two years ago, but after Lan An had an accident, Mu Huai held onto a sliver of hope, hoping one day he would receive a reply from Gu Zhiqi.
However, there was none.
No matter how many messages he sent or how many calls he made, he couldn’t reach her.
He even tried to find that Mr. Tang.
But he couldn’t find him either.
Listening to Lan An’s question, Gu Zhiqi remained silent for two seconds. She thought about how the original host had done quite a lot in the past two years. If she were to explain it all in detail, it would take a long time. So she casually said, "I had amnesia. I don’t remember what I did before."
Lan An and Mu Huai both fell silent upon hearing this.
Mu Huai didn’t know Gu Zhiqi very well, so he believed her words. However, Lan An, who had studied alchemy with Gu Zhiqi for three years, didn’t fully believe her. She guessed that Gu Zhiqi might be making an excuse.
But what could she do about it?
If her master didn’t want to say something, asking more wouldn’t get her any answers. She might even end up being resented.
So she chose not to ask anymore.
The three of them silently walked towards the elevator. As they reached a certain room, the door suddenly opened.
A person walked out from inside.
This person, upon seeing the three figures in the hallway, curiously looked at them and was instantly stunned.
He blinked twice, confirming he was not seeing things. He looked at Gu Zhiqi with astonishment, "Gu Xiaoxi?"
Upon seeing Tang Yichen, Gu Zhiqi stopped walking. Naturally, Lan An and Mu Huai also stopped.
Initially, they were curious why Gu Zhiqi had suddenly stopped. Now, hearing Tang Yichen speak, they immediately understood that they had run into someone familiar.
Both of them looked at Tang Yichen curiously.
This person looked somewhat familiar.
Gu Zhiqi nodded at Tang Yichen and instinctively looked behind him.
Logically, since Tang Yichen was here, Su Yunling should be here too. But today, it seemed they were not together.
"What are you doing here?" Tang Yichen asked, glancing at Lan An and Mu Huai beside Gu Zhiqi.
When his gaze landed on Mu Huai, it paused slightly.
This person looked a bit familiar.
It’s not even a holiday, and you’ve come all the way to Virella for fun? Do you expect me to believe that?
"Are these your friends?" Tang Yichen asked, looking rather curious at Mu Huai and Lan An.
Gu Zhiqi paused for two seconds and nodded, "Sort of."
"Hello, I’m Tang Yichen, Gu Xiaoxi’s brother." Ever since he gave Gu Zhiqi a fee to change the way she addressed him in Su Yunling’s courtyard, Tang Yichen had always considered himself Gu Zhiqi’s brother. So, he introduced himself to Mu Huai and Lan An in this way.
