Xie Yann was slightly taken aback when he heard Yun Yi’s question.
Child, who?
"Are you talking about Master Zhizhi?" Xie Yann asked sowhat uncertainly.
Xie Yann rembered that the previous Mr. Su referred to Master Zhizhi as a child.
Yun Yi raised an eyebrow, saying nothing, which was as good as a nod.
Xie Yann imdiately nodded, answering Yun Yi’s earlier question, "Yes, I know."
"How do you know?" Yun Yi crossed his arms, leaned against the stone wall, and looked at Xie Yann as he asked.
Although Xie Yann didn’t understand why Yun Yi suddenly asked, he still answered truthfully, "I t her over two months ago in F洲."
If it were anyone else, Xie Yann wouldn’t be so forthcoming, answering a stranger’s questions so eagerly.
But with Yun Yi, Xie Yann was very cooperative.
After all, he called Master Zhizhi a child, so he probably had a good relationship with her, right?
Yun Yi slightly curled his lips into a smile after hearing Xie Yann’s answer, and said no more.
With Yun Yi silent, Xie Yann also remained quiet as the corridor fell into a brief silence.
Only then did Xie Yann start looking around, and when his gaze fell upon a person hanging next to Yun Yi, he staggered back several steps in surprise.
At the sa ti, he couldn’t help but curse under his breath, "What the hell is that?"
In the ti he staggered back, Xie Yann saw clearly that it was a person nailed into the stone wall, prompting him to shrink his neck and hunch his shoulders as he stared in horror.
Yun Yi lifted his eyes, glanced at Xie Yann casually, and then quickly turned away.

Twenty minutes later, Gu Zhiqi finished her breathing regulation.
Opening her eyes, she saw Yun Yi, standing idly by the stone wall, playing with a dagger, and on her left, Xie Yann was squatting by the stone wall playing on his phone; on the right, the black-clad figure who was nailed to the stone wall had already been taken down.
The black-clad figure had many injuries and was now lying motionless on his side, his back to Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi stood up and walked towards Yun Yi.
Yun Yi heard the movent and imdiately looked up at Gu Zhiqi, noticing her complexion looked much better, a hint of softness in his eyes.
Hearing the footsteps, Xie Yann also shifted his gaze from his phone and saw that Gu Zhiqi had finished her ditation, "Master, you’ve finished your breathing regulation?"
Gu Zhiqi nodded at Xie Yann, then walked over to stand in front of Yun Yi, pointing at the black-clad figure, "Have you questioned him yet?"
Yun Yi’s expression flickered upon hearing this, then he silently averted his gaze, speaking sowhat unnaturally, "Didn’t get the chance to ask, he poisoned himself."
Gu Zhiqi’s steps faltered slightly upon hearing this; a few seconds later, she squatted down beside the black-clad figure.
She turned the black-clad figure over, shifting him from lying on his side to lying on his back, allowing Gu Zhiqi to clearly see his face.
Seeing the person who had stopped breathing, Gu Zhiqi paused for a mont, feeling a sense of familiarity.
She felt she had seen him sowhere, particularly at the dical Alliance.
Yet even after thinking for a long ti, she couldn’t recall the person’s identity and eventually gave up.
It would be better to let soone from the dical Alliance identify him later.
Gu Zhiqi lowered her eyes slightly, observing the black-clad figure, her gaze flashing with a touch of azure.
After sweeping her gaze up and down the black-clad figure, Gu Zhiqi lazily squinted slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of depth.
A few seconds later, Gu Zhiqi reached out to pry open the black-clad figure’s mouth and inspect it.
When Gu Zhiqi stood up, Yun Yi imdiately drew close to her, asking, "Did you discover anything?"
Gu Zhiqi was about to speak when Lok Gui, who had returned to the Dark Prison, interrupted, "Miss Gu, have you finished your work here? Alliance Leader Ling..."
