Free Web NovelChapter 1894: Chapter 1894: The Person Who Killed Xu Changqing
Upon seeing this, Ling Zhiyu’s face changed dramatically, and she suddenly stood up from her chair.
Gu Zhiqi glanced at Ling Zhiyu, "Stay calm."
Hearing this, Ling Zhiyu forced the words that were already on the tip of her tongue back down.
Gu Zhiqi continued to look at Ling Muyan and asked, "Did you kill Xu Changqing?"
Ling Muyan shook her head, "No, it wasn’t me, it was Xiao Yixue."
Gu Zhiqi: "Earlier, why did you admit that Xu Changqing’s death was related to you?"
Ling Muyan: "I gave Yixue the poison."
Upon hearing this, Ling Zhiyu’s expression changed once again.
Gu Zhiqi’s expression remained unchanged, and she asked again, "So, Xu Changqing was killed by Xiao Yixue?"
Ling Muyan nodded, "The poison... she administered it."
Gu Zhiqi continued to ask, "Do you know why she poisoned Xu Changqing?"
Ling Muyan: "I practice the Heartless Path and avoid romantic entanglements, but my master and Elder Seo arranged a marriage for me and Xu Changqing in secret. Yixue knew I dared not defy my master’s orders and also feared Xu Changqing would disrupt my path, so she poisoned him."
Ling Zhiyu couldn’t hold back and asked, "Since you knew Xiao Yixue killed Changqing, why didn’t you speak up back then? And why did you give Xiao Yixue the poison in the first place?"
Clearly, Ling Zhiyu’s questions had no effect on Ling Muyan, as Ling Muyan didn’t react after she finished asking. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Seeing this, Ling Zhiyu paused and turned her head to look at Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi repeated Ling Zhiyu’s questions to Ling Muyan, and only then did Ling Muyan speak up.
"I didn’t know she wanted the poison to kill Xu Changqing. Yixue is my junior sister, and she did it for me. After I found out... I couldn’t bear to turn her over to Elder Seo."
The three of them were in a private room, and there were only three people inside.
Once Ling Muyan said this, the private room fell into silence.
After pondering for a few seconds, Gu Zhiqi continued, "Did you instruct Xiao Yixue to go to the Poison Technique Trial Realm to murder Yang Siran?" freēwēbηovel.c૦m
After Gu Zhiqi asked this question, Ling Muyan did not speak again; instead, she furrowed her brows, showing great resistance to the question.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi’s eyes deepened.
She didn’t continue questioning Ling Muyan, as it was evident Ling Muyan was about to wake up. Her strong resistance and vigilance against Gu Zhiqi’s questions allowed her to break free from the hypnosis.
Gradually, clarity returned to Ling Muyan’s eyes.
Ling Muyan reached out to support her forehead, only to feel a slight headache, her eyes tinged with confusion. Then, looking at Gu Zhiqi and Ling Zhiyu, she asked, "Did something happen just now?"
Gu Zhiqi: "No."
Upon hearing this, Ling Muyan’s eyes grew even more confused, but she continued to gaze at Gu Zhiqi, "Your questions just now?"
"Where did the formation on your body come from?" Gu Zhiqi looked at Ling Muyan.
Upon hearing this, Ling Muyan remembered that Gu Zhiqi had asked her this question earlier, though she hadn’t answered.
Only...
"How did Miss Gu know I have a formation on me?" Ling Muyan asked Gu Zhiqi with a curious look.
Gu Zhiqi: "I am a Mystic Master, just curious."
Upon hearing this, Ling Muyan’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise, clearly not expecting Gu Zhiqi to be a Mystic Master.
After her initial surprise, Ling Muyan answered Gu Zhiqi’s question.
The answer was similar in meaning to the one she gave while hypnotized.
After she finished answering, Ling Muyan looked at Gu Zhiqi and asked, "Did Miss Gu seek me out just to ask this?"
Gu Zhiqi: "I’m here for other matters."
Hearing this, Ling Muyan looked at Gu Zhiqi expectantly, waiting for her to continue her questioning.
