When Gu ngyang walked into the villa, he happened to see Ji Xiangsi rubbing Gu Zhiqi’s hair, murmuring words like "good girl."
Gu ngyang stared at the two, remaining silent.
Didn’t they say they’d only t once? Why do they seem so familiar?
Gu ngyang stared at the two for a long ti, finally stepping forward to them, "Xiao Qi, your friend, aren’t you going to introduce us?"
Gu Zhiqi heard this and gave Gu ngyang a strange look.
Aren’t they acquainted?
Just a mont ago, the way they acted didn’t look like they didn’t know each other.
Gu ngyang seed oblivious to Gu Zhiqi’s glance, turning his head slightly to Ji Xiangsi, introducing himself proactively, "Hello, I’m Gu ngyang."
As he spoke, he extended his hand to Ji Xiangsi, appearing as if it was their "first eting, nice to et you."
Upon seeing Gu ngyang, Ji Xiangsi’s powerful aura diminished significantly.
Listening to Gu ngyang and seeing his gesture, she bit her lip quietly, finally stretching out her hand slowly to shake Gu ngyang’s, "Ji Xiangsi."
She quickly shook hands with Gu ngyang and withdrew as if electrified.
Seeing this, the smile in Gu ngyang’s eyes faded quite a bit.
Noticing the strange atmosphere between the two, Gu Zhiqi spoke up to break it, "Sister Xiang Si, where’s the stuff?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiangsi imdiately took out the herbs and a mirror from her Storage Ring and handed them to Gu Zhiqi, "These are the herbs." anwhile, raising her other hand, "And this is the mirror."
Gu Zhiqi reached out and accepted them all at once, feeling a refreshing sensation from the mirror as it touched her hand.
The coolness pierced her skin directly from wherever it touched.
Everywhere it passed felt refreshingly transparent.
Gu Zhiqi placed the herbs on the coffee table first, then lowered her head to examine the mirror in her hands.
Upon seeing the mirror clearly, Gu Zhiqi understood why the contact felt cool.
The fra of the mirror was carved from jade ware, and the refreshing feeling ca from this fra.
Manipulating her spiritual power, she probed into the mirror. Soon, Gu Zhiqi unraveled the reason behind Ji Xiangsi’s sleepwalking.
This mirror must have been crafted a millennium ago, with the jade containing abundant Spiritual Energy, which the mirror absorbed over the centuries, thus gaining sentience.
The reason Ji Xiangsi sleepwalked to comb her hair in front of the mirror at night was all due to the tricks played by the Mirror Spirit inside.
Monts ago, she had communicated with the Mirror Spirit using her spiritual power. The Mirror Spirit had only recently awakened, and its intelligence was not fully developed.
Upon waking, the first person it saw was Ji Xiangsi, so it identified Ji Xiangsi as its owner.
Pets always crave their owner’s attention on themselves.
Ji Xiangsi wasn’t ho often, and even when she returned, she spent most of her ti sleeping.
Thus, the Mirror Spirit felt neglected and began luring Ji Xiangsi in front of it at night to have her accompany it, but to its dismay, Ji Xiangsi ended up discarding it.
Furthermore, it was almost damaged.
Fortunately, its Spiritual Energy protected it.
When talking about how Ji Xiangsi discarded it, the Mirror Spirit began to sob, eventually crying inconsolably.
After listening to the Mirror Spirit’s account, Gu Zhiqi remained silent for a long ti.
After a few seconds, she spoke to the Mirror Spirit, "Do not behave like this in the future, or else, she’ll discard you again."
Mirror Spirit: "Got it, okay, boo~"
Gu Zhiqi: "..."
She paused, retracting her spiritual power, then looked at Ji Xiangsi, "Have you tested all your costics?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiangsi imdiately nodded, "Yes, they’ve all been tested, and there’s nothing wrong with them."
As soon as Ji Xiangsi said this, Gu Zhiqi sensed the little creature inside the mirror becoming restless.
Gu Zhiqi hesitated a mont, then probed into it again with her spiritual power.
