Chapter 1882: Heading to the Mystic Alliance
Gu Zhiqi’s words left Ling Zhiyu in a bind.
After all, when Xu Changqing was alive, he was considered a promising young talent in the Immortal Medical Alliance, admired by countless people.
There were both open admirers and secret admirers.
Ling Zhiyu didn’t care about this, so she never learned much about it.
She only knew of one person, Yang Siran.
It was only after Xu Changqing died and Yang Siran came to cause trouble that she found out.
Seeing Ling Zhiyu unable to provide any conclusive answers, Gu Zhiqi didn’t press further and instead asked Ling Zhiyu, "When do you plan to leave the Poison Technique Trial Realm?"
If she couldn’t get useful clues from Ling Zhiyu, she might as well go find Meng Furong.
Ling Zhiyu: "Leave the Trial Realm to investigate Changqing’s cause of death?"
She could wait until next year to undergo the trial.
But Changqing couldn’t wait.
Gu Zhiqi nodded to Ling Zhiyu.
Seeing this, Ling Zhiyu immediately replied, "Anytime is fine."
Thus, the three of them exited the Trial Realm.
Originally, Gu Zhiqi had planned for Tang Yichen to stay in the Trial Realm to continue the trial, but Tang Yichen was curious about Xu Changqing’s cause of death and insisted on joining the investigation, so Gu Zhiqi took him along.
After leaving the Trial Realm, the three immediately headed to the Mystic Alliance.
Before going, Gu Zhiqi had already sent a message to Meng Yunhe.
So, when the three arrived at the Mystic Alliance, Meng Yunhe was already waiting there.
Upon seeing Gu Zhiqi, he eagerly welcomed her, "Master Gu, what brings you here today..."
Before finishing his words, he noticed Tang Yichen accompanying Gu Zhiqi, "Eh? Fourth, Yichen, why are you here too?"
Seeing Tang Yichen, Meng Yunhe was evidently surprised.
Tang Yichen pointed at Gu Zhiqi with his finger, "I came with Xiao Qi."
Only then did Meng Yunhe nod, looking like he understood.
He greeted Ling Zhiyu on the side, then looked at Gu Zhiqi and asked about the main matter, "Master Gu, is there something you need at the Mystic Alliance?"
Gu Zhiqi didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point, "Meng Furong is your aunt, right? I’d like to meet her."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yunhe was slightly taken aback, then looked at Gu Zhiqi and replied, "Yes... has my aunt gotten into trouble and bothered you?"
After Xu Changqing’s death, Meng Furong had been behaving erratically.
She had caused quite a few problems outside, and there were always people coming to find Meng Furong, so instinctively, Meng Yunhe thought Meng Furong might have offended Gu Zhiqi.
But his aunt had been staying in the Mystic Alliance recently, so how could she have offended Master Gu?
Or was it from a past offense?
Thinking of this filled Meng Yunhe with unease.
Gu Zhiqi shook her head immediately, "No, I just have a few questions for her."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yunhe breathed a slight sigh of relief.
It’s good that she didn’t cause trouble for Master Gu, but... how did Master Gu know about his aunt?
Despite being puzzled, Meng Yunhe didn’t rush to ask but instead looked troubled as he said to Gu Zhiqi, "My aunt suffered backlash three years ago and has been mentally unstable for years. You might not get any answers from her."
After listening, Gu Zhiqi pondered for a couple of seconds and suddenly asked, "Has your aunt gone out recently?"
Meng Yunhe heard and immediately shook his head, "No, my aunt hasn’t left the master’s sect for two months."
Meng Furong had been mentally unstable for increasingly longer periods.
She hadn’t been normal for a single day in the past two months.
So Meng Yunhe had been keeping watch over her, not allowing her to go out.
Just as Meng Yunhe finished speaking, Ling Zhiyu’s face changed drastically.
