Gu Zhiqi had guessed that the person was Jin Cenglv, but she didn’t reveal the other’s identity. She herself had also disguised and altered her voice, so Jin Cenglv likely didn’t recognize her.
The two were not familiar with each other, and Gu Zhiqi had no intention of revealing her identity to Jin Cenglv. She rely tilted her head and looked at her, "You’re here to rescue soone?"
Jin Cenglv didn’t speak, remaining frozen for several seconds. After a few seconds, she belatedly nodded.
With Gu Zhiqi in disguise, Jin Cenglv indeed didn’t recognize that the person before her was Master Zhezhi, whom she had t earlier, and she didn’t make that connection at all.
When Gu Zhiqi acted just now, Jin Cenglv noticed it. She knew the other person was formidable, and that Gu Zhiqi had co with the Ever Winning Army.
Guessing that the other was also here to rescue soone, and knowing she was also here to rescue people, Jin Cenglv figured she wouldn’t harm her, so she nodded.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi continued to ask, "Here to rescue those seven professors?"
Jin Cenglv was silent for a few seconds before finally nodding.
When she ca, she was only here to rescue one person, but now, if she had the ability, she wanted to rescue all the trapped individuals.
Gu Zhiqi looked at Jin Cenglv and continued to ask, "You’re alone?"
Hearing this, Jin Cenglv turned to look at Gu Zhiqi. This ti, she neither nodded nor shook her head.
Although she knew the person was with the Ever Winning Army, this only made her slightly less vigilant and did not lead to trust.
Naturally, she didn’t want the other person to know she was alone.
The other was so formidable that if she knew Jin Cenglv was alone, she might harm or kill her without hesitation.
Gu Zhiqi knew Jin Cenglv was wary of her but didn’t mind, lazily leaning back on the sofa, and said to Jin Cenglv, "If you’re alone, how about we team up?"
Jin Cenglv turned her head abruptly to look at Gu Zhiqi, "Why... why?"
It was the first thing she’d said since the two t, too shocked to react.
Gu Zhiqi replied, "You’re rescuing people, and so am I. Cooperation benefits both of us."
Jin Cenglv fell silent again for a long while before finally nodding at Gu Zhiqi.
Actually, she had doubts.
She was so formidable and already acting with the Ever Winning Army, so why did she seek her out?
But in the end, she didn’t ask anything.
She couldn’t think of anything valuable enough about herself for the other to covet, so she chose to believe the other simply wanted to cooperate.
Seeing that Jin Cenglv agreed without questions, Gu Zhiqi raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise.
However, wasn’t this better? It saved her the trouble of persuasion.
With a lazy smile, she extended her hand to Jin Cenglv, "Pleasure working with you."
Jin Cenglv looked at Gu Zhiqi, eting her deep, misty eyes. Jin Cenglv froze slightly, feeling that she had seen these eyes sowhere before.
"Pleasure working with you." Jin Cenglv quickly said the four words and then swiftly shook Gu Zhiqi’s hand before sitting back and slightly lowering her gaze to stare into space.
Gu Zhiqi looked at her from the side and said, "In the following actions, rember to stay with . I might need your help."
Jin Cenglv quickly nodded at Gu Zhiqi and then remained silent, sitting upright.
Help her?
What kind of help?
Gu Zhiqi initially wanted to take Jin Cenglv out of the room directly but reconsidered her cautious nature and decided against it.
After bidding farewell to Jin Cenglv, she left the room.
After taking a few steps out, she saw Su Yunling engaging in a fight. The person he was fighting with, Gu Zhiqi recognized.
