69: Chapter 69: How Confident Are You with This Call?

Su Yunling’s mouth quirked subtly as he leaned lazily against the wall of the corridor, imitating Gu Zhiqi, and then he spoke.

“Master Zhi.”

The two words were uttered with a playful and slightly teasing charm, sounding unexpectedly pleasant.

Even Gu Zhiqi, who had heard countless pleasant voices, felt a feather-like caress on his ear upon hearing Su Yunling’s address.

Quiet!

Utter silence!

Su Yunling’s call of “Master Zhi” left the onlooking crowd completely dumbfounded.

The corridor once again fell silent.

Most people present knew Su Yunling’s temperament to a certain extent.

Su Yunling seemed to be a cynical man who always looked disinterested and indifferent, friendly only towards those he found pleasing, but in reality, no one could take advantage of him.

In action, he never let himself be shortchanged, and verbally, he was unforgiving.

And yet, here he was, calling a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl ‘Master Zhi’?

He must be crazy.

Su Yunling didn’t care about the crowd’s reaction as he half-closed his eyes lazily, wearing a smile that was not quite a smile as he looked at Gu Zhiqi and broke the short-lived stillness once more.

“Master Zhi, that call of ‘Master Zhi,’ how many points of confidence does it give me?”

Hearing this, Gu Zhiqi’s smile deepened, but instead of answering Su Yunling, she turned slightly to look at Elder Lu, “Doctor Lu, can you prepare a set of sterile clothing for me?”

Elder Lu snapped out of his daze, but instead of answering Gu Zhiqi immediately, he looked at Su Yunling and then at Fu Xiyan.

“It’s trouble, Elder Lu.” Su Yunling knew what he meant and nodded gently, politely making his request.

Fu Xiyan, upon hearing Su Yunling’s remarks, slightly tilted his head to look at him and, a few seconds later, nodded under Elder Lu’s gaze as well.

Elder Lu and Gu Zhiqi left, leaving four people outside the emergency room.

“Third Master, are you really letting that young girl save Fourth Master?” Xiao Yixue approached Su Yunling and immediately asked.

Su Yunling leaned indolently against the corridor wall, his gaze lowered, not uttering a word, completely ignoring Xiao Yixue.

Seeing this, Xiao Yixue bit her lip and took two steps forward, getting closer to Su Yunling, “Third Master, that young girl…”

“Men and women should not be so close, please keep your distance from me.” Su Yunling looked up, speaking indifferently and lazily to Xiao Yixue.

Xiao Yixue felt as though she had been slapped across the face, a burning sensation on her cheek.

Under Su Yunling’s unemotional gaze, Xiao Yixue subconsciously stepped back several paces.

Seeing this, Su Yunling lowered his eyes again, tilting his head slightly, bored as he played with his phone.

“Who is that young lady?” Fu Xiyan approached Su Yunling and inquired.

Su Yunling’s hand, which was swiping on his phone, paused slightly, but he didn’t even lift his eyelids as he responded indifferently and perfunctorily, “Someone I randomly met on the road.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiyan frowned slightly, “Is she reliable?”

“Heh.” A lazy, low chuckle seeped out as if bubbling up from his throat.

After the chuckle, Su Yunling looked up, his peach blossom eyes glittering like water as he stared directly at Fu Xiyan, “Don’t worry, she’s more reliable than the people you find.”

With those words, the three people on the scene all changed their expressions simultaneously, each distinctly different.

Fu Xiyan’s brow furrowed slightly, but without showing displeasure, he simply said, “Sorry.”

“Third Master, it’s my fault, I was incompetent,” Fu Hong owned up immediately upon seeing this.

Su Yunling lazily lifted his eyelids and glanced at Fu Hong before speaking in a bland tone, “When I left, he was fine.

What happened?”
