23: Chapter 23 Is Gu Zhiqi an Ordinary Young Lady?

Tang Yichen’s words weren’t finished, but Gu Zhiqi understood.

“Follow,” she said casually, tossing out the two words before continuing to walk down the mountain with her basket slung over her arm.

Before turning, she swept a glance, without batting an eyelid, at the white fan in the man’s hand.

Su Yunling felt Gu Zhiqi’s gaze, lightly tapped his fingers on the fan, and watched the girl’s retreating figure, his eyes deepening.

The others, hearing this, all showed a gleam of joy.

The fog was too thick in the mountains, there was no signal, and the rain kept pouring without cease.

They had been wandering around the mountain for most of the day without finding a way out.

Finding someone to lead them out of the mountain now was certainly cause for happiness.

“Hey?

Gu Xiaoxi, do you really know the way?” Tang Yichen followed Gu Zhiqi’s steps immediately after she agreed and curiously asked a question.

“Hmm,” Gu Zhiqi responded noncommittally and continued to stroll forward.

Tang Yichen wanted to say more, but suddenly, someone hooked his shoulder, causing him to slow down his pace involuntarily.

“Whoa, fuck, Dog Luo, what the hell?

You scared the shit out of me.”

Su Luo suddenly came up close, not only hooking Tang Yichen’s shoulder but also sporting a lewd smile.

Tang Yichen truly felt frightened.

“Hehe, what’s the Little Fairy’s name again, Gu Xiaoxi, right?”

Tang Yichen, seeing the lewd smile on his face, knew exactly what he was plotting.

“I advise you to give up your idea,” Tang Yichen said as he reached up to pinch his wrist and disdainfully threw off the hand that was hooked over his shoulder.

Su Luo was an agent who had launched many artists, all of them of superstar calibre.

Currently, he only had two artists under him, both of whom needed no worrying over, leaving him with a lot of free time.

As a result, he had been on the lookout for new talent recently.

Without saying it outright, Tang Yichen knew he intended to coax Gu Zhiqi into the entertainment industry.

But could Gu Zhiqi be just any ordinary girl?

That girl seemed to be a little witch who loved to do as she pleased.

If Su Luo really signed her, his carefree days would come to an end.

“If you don’t try, how will you know if she can make it or not?” Su Luo interpreted Tang Yichen’s words as a suggestion that the girl was hard to coax.

Ignoring Tang Yichen’s disdain, Su Luo thoughtfully stroked his chin for a moment, then suddenly quickened his pace to catch up with Gu Zhiqi.

It was strange, the young girl seemed to be walking leisurely, yet her pace was surprisingly fast, leaving the group far behind in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, despite the rugged mountain path, she walked as if on level ground.

Although Su Luo was surprised, he didn’t give it much thought.

Seeing that Su Luo was not heeding his advice, Tang Yichen could only wish him good luck in his heart.

“You know her?” Su Luo went ahead, and right behind him, another person joined Tang Yichen.

“She’s the girl I told you about before, from that kidnapping case in the western suburbs of Haicheng.” On the first day he arrived at Yueqi Village from Haicheng, Tang Yichen had talked to Su Yunling about Gu Zhiqi.

Of course, besides the incident where Gu Zhiqi single-handedly took down more than a dozen strong men, Tang Yichen had also shared gossip about Gu Zhiqi with Su Yunling.

How much Su Yunling had taken in, though, was unknown.

Hearing this, Su Yunling’s attractive peach blossom eyes lazily narrowed, watching the girl’s gradually receding figure, his tone languid and casual, “The little miss seems quite mysterious.”

Hearing Su Yunling’s comment, Tang Yichen blinked.

“Mysterious?

I wouldn’t say that, just a bit more capable in fighting,” Tang Yichen considered himself to have a fair understanding of Gu Zhiqi.

Besides her martial skills, which he had no idea where she had learned from, there didn’t seem to be anything else mysterious about her.

Su Yunling looked at the girl’s pants and shoes, which, like his, hadn’t been touched by a single drop of water or speck of dirt, but he only laughed without a word.
