610: Chapter 610: Are You As Aweso As You?
In the evening, Gu Zhiqi’s room door was knocked.
Gu Zhiqi glanced at the ti and found it was already half-past six.
Perhaps because there was no response from the room, the person knocking spoke up, “It’s dinner ti.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi closed her laptop and stood up.
Opening the door, she saw a tall figure standing outside.
When the door opened, Su Yunling’s gaze fell straight onto Gu Zhiqi, seemingly unable to get enough.
Su Yunling felt as if he might be bewitched.
It was only a few hours since he’d last seen her, so why did it feel like it had been a long ti?
Seeing Su Yunling staring at her in a daze, Gu Zhiqi propped her elbow lazily against the door fra and leaned on the door’s edge, tentatively calling out, “Brother?”
Snapped back to reality by Gu Zhiqi’s call of “brother,” Su Yunling reflexively looked away, “Let’s go.”
Then, turning around, he walked briskly toward the doorway.
Gu Zhiqi casually closed the door behind her and then lifted her feet to catch up with Su Yunling.
Sensing that Gu Zhiqi hadn’t caught up, Su Yunling stopped and looked back at her, waiting for her to catch up.
Once Gu Zhiqi had caught up with him, Su Yunling resud walking and said to Gu Zhiqi, “There might be sowhat of a crowd for dinner later, about four or five people.
Do you mind?”
Gu Zhiqi shook her head to indicate she didn’t mind.
“You know Tang Yichen, Fu Xiyan, and Su Luo.
There is also an old friend, and he’s the one I wanted you to see,” Su Yunling explained as they walked forward.
“Oh,” Gu Zhiqi responded lightly.
Just then, they arrived at the entrance to Shadow Court.
Seeing two additional guards outside the courtyard, Gu Zhiqi paused in her step.
Why were there two more guards at the gate?
Seeing that Gu Zhiqi had noticed the guards and worrying she might get the wrong idea, Su Yunling quickly explained, “I’m afraid of unwelco disturbances, so I stationed two people to guard it.”
Gu Zhiqi nodded, indicating she understood.
It was only a short distance from Shadow Court to Su Yunling’s courtyard, and there, Gu Zhiqi noticed, stood two guards as well.
Apart from the guards, the entire courtyard was enveloped by a formation, which seed to be a combination of defense, soundproofing, and concealnt functionalities.
When Gu Zhiqi moved into Shadow Court, she had discovered that it too was fortified with a formation.
However, unlike Su Yunling’s courtyard, the formation of Shadow Court did not cover the entire area but only enveloped the rooms.
Thus, without the occupant’s permission, those unfamiliar with formations were unable to enter those rooms.
The techniques of the Formation Setter were exquisite, and even Gu Zhiqi had to admit that she could not set up such a sophisticated formation.
“Did you set up this formation?” Gu Zhiqi asked Su Yunling out of curiosity and admiration once they entered the courtyard.
Su Yunling nodded.
“How many Formation Masters do you know?” Gu Zhiqi suddenly asked.
Gu Zhiqi began to doubt whether she had genuinely been transposed into a book.
If there were changes in the plot or the character depiction, it would be understandable.
After all, a derived world indeed might not follow the original plot strictly.
But if the background setting had changed as well…
That would be sowhat abnormal.
Gu Zhiqi clearly rembered that in the novel, according to its background setting, aside from Mystic Masters who could use Yuan Force to set up formations, Ancient martial artists were not capable of doing so.
Or was it that the original background setting by the author included it, but it just wasn’t written yet?
Listening to Gu Zhiqi’s question, Su Yunling arched his eyebrows slightly, “Well, I know about seven or eight.”
Gu Zhiqi: “Are they all as skilled as you?”
