Listening to Ling Zhiyu’s response, Gu Zhiqi furrowed her brows even more tightly.
Reaching out to Ling Zhiyu, she said, "Let see the jade pendant."
As soon as Ling Zhiyu heard this, she imdiately took off the jade pendant and handed it to Gu Zhiqi.
As soon as the jade pendant fell into Gu Zhiqi’s hand, she felt a trace of cold aura penetrate her hand.
She mobilized her Mystic Qi to envelop the cold aura and then devoured it bit by bit.
"Have you always worn this jade pendant?" Gu Zhiqi asked, holding the pendant and looking at Ling Zhiyu.
Ling Zhiyu replied, "I’ve always worn it close to my body, except when bathing."
Gu Zhiqi continued to ask, "Has it ever fallen into soone else’s hands?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Zhiyu lowered her eyes in thought for a long ti, then shook her head at Gu Zhiqi, "No."
Gu Zhiqi asked, "Have you t a Mystic Master?"
Ling Zhiyu’s expression flickered slightly, her eyes showing a tinge of hesitation. Eventually, she nodded to Gu Zhiqi, "Now that you ntion it, I recall sothing."
"Not too long ago, Chang Qing’s mother ca to see ."
"She sohow found out that Chang Qing was inside the jade pendant and wanted to see him. Since she’s Chang Qing’s mother, I allowed them to et."
Initially, ng Furong wanted to take the jade pendant away, but Xu Changqing didn’t recognize her at all and refused to go with her, so she gave up.
She rely t Xu Changqing once and then left.
Gu Zhiqi pondered for two seconds, then said to Ling Zhiyu, "I heard that Xu Changqing’s mother sotis loses her mind. Was she clear-headed when she ca to you that day?"
Ling Zhiyu understood her implication and quickly replied, "That day, her mind was very clear."
It was precisely because ng Furong was lucid that Ling Zhiyu permitted Chang Qing to et her.
Otherwise, Ling Zhiyu also feared that ng Furong, when not in her right mind, might harm Chang Qing.
Gu Zhiqi asked, "How much do you know about Xu Changqing’s mother?"
"I’ve just t her a few tis."
Although ng Furong and Elder Seo were once married, she was a Mystic Master and frequently stayed at the Mystic Alliance. After divorcing Elder Seo, her visits to the Immortal dical Alliance beca exceedingly rare.
Therefore, whether during Xu Changqing’s life or after his death, Ling Zhiyu and ng Furong weren’t familiar with each other.
After listening, Gu Zhiqi pondered for a long ti before speaking to Ling Zhiyu, "A Mystic Master has tampered with Xu Changqing’s spirit. Within ten days, he must enter the Reincarnation Path, or his soul will scatter."
Not only Xu Changqing.
If Ling Zhiyu continues to wear the jade pendant containing Xu Changqing’s spirit for too long, she might also et an untily death.
Upon hearing Gu Zhiqi’s words, Ling Zhiyu’s pupils contracted, and she softly murmured, "Why... why is this happening?"
After gazing blankly for a while, she raised her head to look at Gu Zhiqi, "Master Gu, there’s... no other way?"
Gu Zhiqi shook her head, "He must enter the Reincarnation Path."
If discovered two days earlier, she might have had a solution.
But now, there’s no way.
Upon hearing this, Ling Zhiyu staggered back several steps; the news hit her hard.
Gu Zhiqi drew a formation on the jade pendant to seal the leaking cold aura and then handed the jade pendant to Ling Zhiyu, "There are only ten days left. During this ti, he can no longer leave the jade pendant, but he can communicate with you."
Ling Zhiyu dazedly reached out to take the jade pendant.
Gu Zhiqi, seeing this, said nothing more and led Tang Yichen aside to dig for herbs.
