The girl had rushed in directly from outside just now; how did she find him?
"Are you the mole?"
He had suspected Ming Yi the first moment, otherwise, he wouldn't believe this little girl could find him.
"Brother Xiao, I swear, it has nothing to do with me." Ming Yi's voice came through the earpiece.
"Then how did she find me?"
Lin Xiao was puzzled. He got up, ready to shake off Gu Yunyun.
Suddenly, his nose twitched.
Gu Yunyun had a peculiar scent on her. It wasn't ordinary perfume; it should be a specially made spice. Moreover, the scent was very faint. If it hadn't been for the strong fragrance emanating from Gu Yunyun, he wouldn't have noticed it immediately.
"Did your master come?"
Lin Xiao turned his head and looked at Gu Yunyun.
"Yes!"
She immediately nodded, "I asked my master to help me find you! My master dotes on me the most!"
"Old fellow... meddling!"
Lin Xiao couldn't help but look outside the door.
A woman stood outside.
She looked to be in her thirties or forties, well-maintained, and elegant. She wore a traditional qipao dress, exuding a charm that ordinary people lacked.
Her makeup also had a Republican-era flair, and her hair was pulled back, making her appear even more dignified and noble.
She smiled at Lin Xiao from the doorway.
"Gu Nianci."
Lin Xiao called out her name, "What are you doing in Shashi?"
"My most beloved Yunyun is here, so of course, I am here too." Gu Nianci then walked into the milk tea shop.
As soon as she entered, even the busy shop assistants couldn't help but steal glances at her. Her demeanor made many girls cast envious looks.
Such elegance was something they couldn't possess.
"It's only because you dote on her so much that she does such outrageous things."
Lin Xiao felt a shiver run down his spine. "What about Modu without you?"
"Modu is still Modu without me. Isn't it better with no troublemakers?" Gu Nianci sat down in Lin Xiao's previous seat. "Since I've traveled a long way, Mr. Lin, won't you treat me to a drink?"
"Milk tea?"
"It's not impossible?"
"..."
Twenty minutes later, Gu Nianci and Gu Yunyun, master and disciple, sat with their milk teas, looking content. Lin Xiao sat on the side, his expression unreadable.
He placed a hand on his earpiece. "Why didn't you notify me when Gu Nianci arrived?"
"This..."
Ming Yi felt a bit wronged.
How was he supposed to know Gu Nianci was coming?
"Besides you, there are very few people in Longguo who can locate me. Why blame him?"
Lin Xiao knew this, but he just wanted to vent his frustration, and Ming Yi was the best choice.
Hearing Gu Nianci's words, Lin Xiao glanced around and waved his hand. A surge of true qi carried his voice into Gu Nianci's ear. "I don't believe you came all this way just to back up your disciple."
"Why couldn't I?"
Transmission of sound.
Gu Nianci put down her milk tea. "Mr. Lin, do you think one needs a reason to come here? Or perhaps, is your existence not enough for me to make a personal visit?"
"I'm not your lover, why are you looking for me?"
Lin Xiao said speechlessly, "Leave soon, I don't have time to entertain you lately."
