Chapter 823 Qi Rui Poisoned

"You can go ahead, I’ll just read a book for now." Su Yunling said, taking a Poison Canon off the shelf.

Then, he realized he couldn’t understand it at all, even with Mo Qingsnow’s notes.

A few seconds later, he silently put the Poison Canon back and pulled out a Medical Book, but after reading two pages, he still couldn’t understand much.

But the book was quite clean, and it felt more pleasant to read than the previous Poison Canon, so Su Yunling started leisurely flipping through it from the first page.

Xuan Lingzi: "Master, I have another question for you..."

"No, you don’t." Gu Zhiqi looked sideways, her gaze icy as she looked at Xuan Lingzi.

Xuan Lingzi met Gu Zhiqi’s icy gaze, and for a moment, he felt as if his heart had also turned cold. "Right, I don’t."

After speaking, he immediately took a few steps to the side.

The master looked young, but her presence and gaze were quite intimidating.

Originally, Xuan Lingzi half-doubted Gu Zhiqi’s cultivation level, but now he didn’t believe it at all.

One must know that his master, a Mystic Master at the peak of the fourth-order, didn’t have such an intimidating presence.

While Xuan Lingzi’s thoughts were wandering, he pulled a book from the shelf absentmindedly and didn’t even notice that he was holding it upside down.

The study room fell silent, with only the occasional sound of pages turning and the slight sounds of breathing.

**

Ten minutes later, Chubby Chiu finished copying the book’s contents and returned to Gu Zhiqi’s mind.

"Zhizhi, I’ve finished copying." After saying this, without waiting for Gu Zhiqi to respond, Chubby Chiu impatiently flew over to Su Yunling’s button.

Gu Zhiqi: "..."

Traitorous dog.

Su Yunling also felt Chubby Chiu return to his button, glancing down at it with a trace of confusion in his eyes. Where did it go just now?

While Su Yunling was still puzzled, Gu Zhiqi’s voice sounded in his ear, "Are you still reading? I’m leaving."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunling closed the book in his hand and put it back on the shelf. "Let’s go."

Hearing this, Xuan Lingzi, who had flipped through a dozen books, put his book on the shelf and followed them. "You two are leaving? I was about to leave too, let’s go together."

Su Yunling turned his head to glance at the forward Xuan Lingzi but said nothing.

"Master, which sect are you from? Could you tell me?" Xuan Lingzi said in a familiar tone to Gu Zhiqi, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Gu Zhiqi: "No, I can’t."

Xuan Lingzi: "..."

"Then, may I ask for your name, Master?" Xuan Lingzi continued to ask with curiosity.

This time, Gu Zhiqi ignored him.

Seeing that Gu Zhiqi ignored him, Xuan Lingzi didn’t mind and continued, "You and I are both disciples of the Mysterious Sect. It’s fate that we met, how about we become friends? As the saying goes, the more friends..."

Before Xuan Lingzi could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Fu Yu, who rushed in, "Something happened! Miss Gu."

Gu Zhiqi: ?

Something happened? Go find your master, why are you looking for me?

"Qi Rui has been poisoned, please come down and take a look." Fu Yu said, looking at Gu Zhiqi.

Gu Zhiqi: Qi Rui? Who’s that?

**

Two minutes later, Gu Zhiqi and Su Yunling appeared in the Qi family’s living room.

Gu Zhiqi placed a tissue on Qi Rui’s wrist and slightly lowered her eyes, focusing on taking his pulse.

Qi Rui leaned weakly on the sofa, letting Gu Zhiqi take his pulse.

After finishing taking the pulse, Gu Zhiqi crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it into the trash can beside her, then looked at Fu Xiyan and Su Yunling, "It is indeed Lethal Powder, poisoned about fourteen minutes ago, the poison should be in..."
