Gu Zhiqi slipped the phone into her pocket and looked at Su Yunling, "Brother, why are you here?"
Su Yunling smiled and said, "I originally ca to help you fight, but now it seems... there’s no need?"
Gu Zhiqi paused slightly, looked up at Su Yunling, "How did you know I was in a fight?"
As soon as the question ca out, a warm touch spread across her face.
In an instant, Gu Zhiqi forgot to react, just standing there, looking up at the person who was sowhat close to her.
The handso face magnified in front of her, looking flawless. At such a close distance, Gu Zhiqi seed to be able to feel his breath falling on her face.
Her heartbeat, at this mont, was out of rhythm.
Out of control, completely unable to control it.
"There’s blood on your face."
As the voice fell, Su Yunling moved his captivating face away, and the fingers that had been caressing her face were also removed.
Gu Zhiqi instinctively raised her hand to wipe the face that still retained that touch.
"Is there... still any?"
"Let see." Su Yunling said as he slightly bent his knee, seriously examining Gu Zhiqi.
After a while, he said, "It’s gone."
Gu Zhiqi responded softly with an "Oh," then took a step back, slightly widening the distance between them.
Gu Zhiqi knew her uncontrolled heartbeat was because of him.
She always disliked this feeling of being out of control.
But what’s frightening is that she seems to be sowhat addicted to the feeling of being close to him.
Seeing Gu Zhiqi distancing herself, Su Yunling’s eyes darkened slightly.
But he didn’t show it on his face.
He reached out and gently ruffled Gu Zhiqi’s head, "Let’s go, get in the car."
"Okay." Gu Zhiqi obediently responded and got in the car.

Qianji Alliance.
The Great Elder was sitting on the bed ditating, when suddenly, the sound of a key turning ca to her ears.
The Great Elder’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she opened her eyes, feeling a bit puzzled.
Didn’t they just finish lunch? Is soone delivering food again?
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, the cell door opened.
This ti, the person guarding the Dark Prison said nothing, but soone she hadn’t seen in a long ti walked in.
"Vice Alliance Hierarch? Why are you here?"
The visitor was indeed Ling Yuxuan.
After entering the Dark Prison, Ling Yuxuan first bowed to the Great Elder, "Great Elder, sorry for your suffering."
The Great Elder was slightly taken aback, "Vice Alliance Hierarch, why is this?"
Ling Yuxuan clasped her hands towards the Great Elder, saying, "The case has been resolved, and I specifically ca in person to bring the Great Elder back to the Master’s Sect."
As the Vice Alliance Hierarch, she was remiss in her duties, letting the case drag on for so long, causing the Great Elder to suffer such a long prison disaster. She ought to co personally to apologize and escort her back to the Master’s Sect.
The Great Elder imdiately got up from the bed, assisting Ling Yuxuan up, "Vice Alliance Hierarch, what are you doing?"
"How can this be your fault, don’t be like this. I indeed damaged the monitor, it’s only natural to be suspected."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuxuan looked up at the Great Elder, confusion filling her eyes, "I still don’t understand, why did you break the monitor?"
She was genuinely curious, what could possibly make the person in front of her endure an undeserved accusation and choose not to speak out.
The Great Elder listened and shook her head, "Vice Alliance Hierarch, please don’t ask about this anymore."
"If there’s an opportunity in the future, I will tell you, but now... it’s not possible yet."
Ling Yuxuan was slightly stunned at these words, but seeing the Great Elder so resolute, she did not inquire further, simply saying, "If that’s the case, I won’t ask anymore, let’s go back."
