"Alright, send the address. Don’t act alone; wait for ."
From Su Yunling’s tone, it seed like he was planning to co over as well. Gu Zhiqi quickly spoke up, "Um, just let Yun Lin co over."
There was a few seconds of silence on Su Yunling’s side. When he spoke again, there was a hint of disappointnt in his voice, "What, you don’t want to see your brother?"
"No," Gu Zhiqi imdiately denied, worried that Su Yunling might misunderstand. She quickly added an explanation, "I’m afraid you’ll find it troubleso."
There was silence for a few more seconds, followed by a deep, pleasant chuckle, "How could it be troubleso?"
The laughter spilled from the phone, as if carrying an electric current, buzzing into Gu Zhiqi’s ears. Gu Zhiqi felt her ears tickling, and she gently tilted her head, pressing her shoulder against her ear.
When she held the phone to her ear again, she heard the sound of footsteps from Su Yunling’s side.
Gu Zhiqi sent over the address, "This is the place. I’ll be waiting for you in a conspicuous spot."
Su Yunling: "Alright, I’ll be there within an hour."
Gu Zhiqi softly acknowledged with a hum.
"Wait for ." At the end of the call, Su Yunling said two words before the call was disconnected.
Those two words were so light, it felt almost unreal, as if it were just Gu Zhiqi’s illusion.
Gu Zhiqi glanced at her phone, then slowly put it away.
At this mont, Chubby Chiu had also finished copying the data.
Gu Zhiqi and Jin Cenglv went outside to the stone door.
The chanism on this stone door used thods from the Mysterious Sect. Gu Zhiqi didn’t rush to disable it but let Jin Cenglv try to crack it first.
Jin Cenglv attempted several tis, triggering several chanisms. He was nearly turned into a sieve by Feather Arrows, fortunately with Gu Zhiqi standing nearby.
When the timing seed right, Gu Zhiqi walked to the stone door and demonstrated the operation for Jin Cenglv. As a chanism stone was moved, a rumbling sound echoed, and the stone door opened.
Jin Cenglv slightly tilted his head, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at Gu Zhiqi, undisguised admiration in his eyes.
He moved his lips several tis, finally just squeezing out, "Master, you’re really amazing."
Actually, countless words of praise flashed through his mind, but when it ca to saying them, only a few words ca out.
Jin Cenglv felt a bit frustrated at himself, never had he loathed his own tongue more than at this mont.
Hearing Jin Cenglv’s words, Gu Zhiqi raised an eyebrow slightly, "Study hard, and you’ll be just as amazing."
Upon hearing this, Jin Cenglv’s eyes moved slightly, with an unmistakable joy appearing in his gaze.
After the stone door was fully opened, Gu Zhiqi and Jin Cenglv stepped inside. After walking just a few steps, they both stopped.
Both of them raised their hands to shield their eyes.
So dazzling.
Glittering gold.
It took Gu Zhiqi a while to adjust to the dazzling light, and then she clearly saw the piles of gold and treasures before them.
Looking at the treasures piled into a small mountain, Gu Zhiqi thought that compared to this Little Golden Mountain, neither that man in black’s little vault nor Mo Qingsnow’s treasury was worth anything.
Gu Zhiqi reluctantly tore her gaze from the Little Golden Mountain, turning her head to Jin Cenglv, "Do you see anything you like?"
Jin Cenglv: ?
"If you see sothing you like, just take it." With that, Gu Zhiqi quickly walked away as fast as she could.
If she didn’t leave now, that Little Golden Mountain might end up in her bracelet.
Jin Cenglv was puzzled, but seeing Gu Zhiqi leave, he imdiately picked up his pace to follow her.
Once they exited the stone door, they headed straight out, walking until they reached the small mud hut outside. Gu Zhiqi finally stopped, and while brushing against the wind, she waited for Su Yunling and the others to arrive.
