Gu Zhiqi’s eyes filled with a trace of vigilance as she lightened her footsteps and continued to move forward slowly.
Just as she took a few steps forward, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the warehouse, along with voices.
"Why is the warehouse door unlocked?"
"I rember locking it before, what’s going on?"
"Let’s go in and check."
...
Hearing the voices outside, Gu Zhiqi lightly tapped the ground with her toes and swiftly leaped behind a pile of boxes.
As soon as she hid, the warehouse door opened, and at the sa mont, Gu Zhiqi felt a faint familiar aura behind her.
"Don’t move." A clear, low voice sounded in her ear, causing Gu Zhiqi to pause.
Because of her pause, the person smoothly placed a dagger against her neck.
When Gu Zhiqi realized it, the cold touch was already pressed against her neck.
Gu Zhiqi was silent for two seconds and tentatively called out, "Brother?"
After Gu Zhiqi finished speaking, she could clearly feel the person behind her stiffen slightly.
Soon, the dagger was removed from her neck, but the person behind her still did not let go of her. Instead, he moved the arm that had been in front of her neck to her waist.
As soon as his arm encircled her waist, Gu Zhiqi was lifted off the ground.
When she regained her senses, the two were already on top of the boxes.
Gu Zhiqi slightly tilted her head and saw Su Yunling in black attire. He was dressed in night clothing with a scarf covering his face, revealing only his deep, enchanting peach blossom eyes.
Just from those peach blossom eyes, Gu Zhiqi recognized that the person beside her was Su Yunling.
Gu Zhiqi and Su Yunling slowed their breath, hiding on top of the boxes.
Since Su Yunling had placed an invisibility formation on them, even though they were lying in a very conspicuous spot, the patrolling personnel did not notice them at all.
After a while of weaving between the piled boxes, the patrollers left.
"No one here; maybe I rembered wrong and forgot to lock the door before?"
"Nothing has been taken from the warehouse. It seems like no one entered. Make sure to lock the door this ti."
Saying this, those people left.
After the sound of the lock, the footsteps gradually faded away.
A few seconds later, Su Yunling pulled down the black scarf from his face and turned his head to look in Gu Zhiqi’s direction, speaking, "Did you use an invisibility formation?"
Gu Zhiqi: "You couldn’t see ?"
"No, I couldn’t." He could only sense Gu Zhiqi’s presence but not see her. He managed to find her precisely and place the dagger against her neck purely by sensing faint movents and her aura.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi thought of sothing and tore off the invisibility talisman from her.
"I had this invisibility talisman on." Gu Zhiqi said, showing the talisman to Su Yunling.
She had been wearing this talisman ever since she boarded the ship and had almost forgotten she was in an invisible state.
As soon as Gu Zhiqi tore off the talisman, Su Yunling could see her, naturally also noticing the talisman in her hand.
But his attention was not on the talisman; it was on Gu Zhiqi herself.
Looking at the person half held in his arms, Su Yunling’s heart trembled slightly, and his eyes deepened.
Just focusing on hiding earlier, now Gu Zhiqi also noticed that they were a bit too close. After a silent two seconds, she quietly withdrew from Su Yunling’s embrace.
Su Yunling retracted the depth in his eyes, pulling his arm back and creating so distance between them. Then, he looked at Gu Zhiqi and asked, "Why are you here?"
Gu Zhiqi was silent for two seconds, looking at Su Yunling before saying, "Just... ca to find you for breakfast."
Su Yunling: "..."
You think I’ll believe that?
