Chapter 769: 769 Solved

Jiang Qi listened to Gu Xiyue’s words and stopped pleading, gritting his teeth and muttering a reluctant, “Fine.”

He agreed unwillingly, directly harboring resentment towards Gu Zhiqi in his heart.

Seeing him consent, Gu Xiyue’s expression didn’t change much, just nodding slightly without speaking further, and turned to look at Fu Xiyan, “You are worried again.”

Fu Xiyan raised his eyebrows and curved his lips slightly, “As long as you are fine, that’s good enough.”

Noticing this, Meng Qiyun blinked her eyes, looking from Fu Xiyan to Gu Xiyue.

There seemed to be something between these two.

Feeling Meng Qiyun’s gaze, Fu Xiyan didn’t mind and said to everyone, “I’ll go in and have a look.”

Then he pushed the door open, entered the room, and quickly closed the door behind him.

Seeing Fu Xiyan enter the room, Meng Qiyun turned her attention to Gu Xiyue, “Are you sure you’re all right now?”

Gu Xiyue looked at Meng Qiyun and shook her head gently.

“So, are you at the peak of the fourth-order,” Meng Qiyun left the rest of the sentence unsaid, but everyone present understood.

Except for Gu Min, who could tell that Gu Xiyue was still at the peak of the fourth-order, everyone else could not discern her cultivation level, so their inquiring gazes fell on Gu Xiyue.

Gu Xiyue: “Peak of the fourth-order.”

Gu Xiyue’s words were met with a wave of disappointment from both Meng Qiyun and Jiang Qi.

“Failing to advance is still better than losing your life,” Mo Canglan commented with a surprisingly open-minded attitude.

“Right, right, life is the most important thing,” Meng Qiyun immediately nodded in agreement and then, looking at Gu Xiyue, continued, “Yueyue, you really scared me to death this time. You can’t be so reckless anymore. Until we figure out the Advancement Aid Fragrance, you are not allowed to try advancing on your own, you hear me? You have no idea how dangerous it was this time.”

Gu Xiyue felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this and said to Meng Qiyun, “Don’t worry, Gu Zhiqi has already solved it for me. Even if I try to advance next time, as long as I have regular Assistive Fragrance, there won’t be a problem with Vital Energy going out of control.”

After reading the mental method given to her by Gu Zhiqi, she knew where the problem lay.

Her previously practiced mental method was incomplete, especially after the fourth-order, the flaws were quite severe, which led to the Vital Energy going out of control during advancement, preventing her from succeeding.

It was also after reading the mental method that Gu Xiyue finally understood why the Gu Family’s Vital Energy was always so reserved; it was because the mental methods they practiced were complete.

Hearing this, Meng Qiyun’s eyes were tinged with surprise and curiosity, “Really? It’s been solved? How did you solve it?”

Jiang Qi, upon hearing this, also immediately focused his gaze on Gu Xiyue, his eyes filled with complexity and curiosity.

Gu Xiyue merely smiled without a word.

Seeing this, Meng Qiyun realized she would not share and pouted, waving her hand dismissively, “Alright, alright, if you don’t want to say, then don’t. As long as you’re okay, that’s what matters.”

“How did you get yourself into such a mess?” Gu Xiyue couldn’t help but ask, observing Meng Qiyun’s disheveled state.

“The Fragrance Refining furnace exploded last night,” Meng Qiyun began, then suddenly stiffened, “Ah! I haven’t cleaned up yet.”

As she said this, she briefly turned to Gu Xiyue and quickly added, “Since you are fine, I’ll be leaving first, I still have to clean up my room.”

Having said that, Meng Qiyun did not wait for Gu Xiyue to respond and quickly scampered off.

Seeing this, Gu Xiyue didn’t attempt to hold her back, just shaking her head with a touch of helplessness.

Just after Meng Qiyun left, Gu Huaijin came out of the room.

With Fu Xiyan taking over his role as Yun Sen’s protector, his presence was no longer needed, so he left.
