Free Web NovelChapter 1922: Chapter 1922: Have You Seen Gu Baba?
Other than that, she also had to keep some in reserve.
Hearing Gu Zhiqi’s answer, Chubby Chiu understood and said, "I see." Not asking any more about it, he instead reminded her, "Oh right, Zhizhi, the 24th of this month is the day the Imperial Capital Yun Family changes its family head."
Gu Zhiqi nodded at that. "Got it."

The next day, Gu Zhiqi, Tang Yichen, and Ling Zhiyu entered the Trial Realm again and started the fourth round of trials.
During this trial, Ling Zhiyu asked Gu Zhiqi a lot of questions about Alchemy and Fragrance Technique. Gu Zhiqi intended to help her, so she patiently answered all of her questions.
By the time the fourth round of trials ended, Ling Zhiyu’s Alchemy and Fragrance Refining level had already reached the fifth-order middle stage.
Ling Zhiyu knew that Gu Zhiqi only came out of the Trial Realm at dawn, so she also waited until dawn before coming out.
Because on the last day of the trial, many people only came out around this time.
So, there were quite a few people in the lobby on the fourth floor.
After Ling Zhiyu came out, she stood in the crowd and waited for quite a while before she finally saw Gu Zhiqi.
As soon as she saw Gu Zhiqi, Ling Zhiyu shared the joy of advancing in rank with her.
Gu Zhiqi said, "Congratulations."
The two went downstairs together. Taking advantage of the time going down the stairs, Ling Zhiyu asked Gu Zhiqi quite a few more questions.
It wasn’t until they walked out of the Trial Tower that Ling Zhiyu finally stopped asking.
The Yun Family’s car was already waiting by the roadside. Ling Zhiyu personally escorted Gu Zhiqi to the car, and before parting, she clasped her fists to Gu Zhiqi. "Master Gu, thank you for your guidance during this period of time."
"If it weren’t for you, I’d still be stuck at the peak of the fourth-order. Thank you." After saying that, she gave Gu Zhiqi a deep bow.
Gu Zhiqi accepted her gratitude. "Keep working hard. Until we meet again."
With that, Gu Zhiqi waved at Ling Zhiyu, opened the car door, and got in.
Ling Zhiyu’s gaze fell on the car driving away. After a long while, she finally murmured, "Until we meet again."
Just as Ling Zhiyu was staring blankly at the car, a voice suddenly came from behind her. "Little junior sister, what are you looking at?"
Ling Zhiyu turned around and saw that it was Ling Piaomu. "Third senior sister."
Ling Piaomu nodded at her, rested her palm on Ling Zhiyu’s shoulder, but her gaze was fixed on that Yun Family car driving off into the distance. "The one who was with you just now was... Gu Zhiqi?"
She had seen a girl next to Ling Zhiyu, but she had been quite far away just now and hadn’t seen clearly.
However, a girl who could sit in a Yun Family car... it could only be Gu Zhiqi, right?
Hearing this, Ling Zhiyu was silent for a beat. "You saw her?"
"I saw her." Ling Piaomu nodded, then frowned slightly and said, "It’s just, so late at night, what is she doing here?"
Ling Zhiyu didn’t speak; her eyes flickered slightly.
She wasn’t good at lying. If Ling Piaomu sensed something and really pressed her, she truly wouldn’t be able to hide it.
Not noticing the change in Ling Zhiyu’s expression, Ling Piaomu rubbed her chin, looking thoughtful. "Could it be that she came to find Gu Baba?"
Ling Piaomu had also gone to Old Master Fu’s birthday banquet, so of course she knew that Gu Zhiqi and Gu Baba knew each other.
Now that she’d run into Gu Zhiqi here, her first instinct was to assume she’d come looking for Gu Baba.
After listening, Ling Zhiyu blinked silently, then nodded. "Probably."
As soon as Ling Piaomu heard that, she immediately asked Ling Zhiyu, "Then did you see Gu Baba?"
Ling Zhiyu shook her head at once.
Since Master Gu didn’t admit to being Gu Baba, she definitely didn’t want others to know her identity.
She couldn’t drag her down.
Seeing Ling Zhiyu shaking her head like a pendulum, Ling Piaomu believed her.
Even so, she still felt that something was off.
