Chapter 1074: Chapter 1074: Array Setup; Seeking Help
Although Gu Xiyue’s injury hadn’t fully healed, she could already move about.
When Gu Zhiqi found Gu Xiyue, she was watering flowers in the courtyard.
"Fifth Sister."
Hearing this, Gu Xiyue paused slightly with the watering can in her hand.
She turned, and upon seeing Gu Zhiqi, Gu Xiyue remained silent for a moment.
Fifth Sister?
With a hint of confusion, but a smile unconsciously appearing on her face, she looked at Gu Zhiqi and asked, "Didn’t you always call me sister before? Why suddenly call me Fifth Sister?"
Hearing this, Gu Zhiqi paused slightly in her steps.
Could she say it was to avoid making Sister Yun Yi unhappy?
With an expression unchanged, Gu Zhiqi responded, "I call Gu Yuluo Third Sister. If I call you sister, I’m afraid she might get annoyed and start something with me."
Knowing Gu Yuluo’s temperament, Gu Xiyue thought she indeed might do such a thing, so she didn’t press further.
"How’s the injury recovering?" Gu Zhiqi asked.
Hearing Gu Zhiqi’s question, the corners of Gu Xiyue’s mouth curled slightly, "Hmm, much better already."
The Medical Alliance has excellent healing medicine; no matter how severe the injury, after taking the medicine, external injuries can heal in three days, and internal injuries have almost recovered.
With a few more days of rest, it should fully heal.
Gu Zhiqi nodded upon hearing this.
Gu Xiyue’s eyes held a smile as she looked at Gu Zhiqi and asked, "I haven’t seen you for a few days. What have you been busy with?"
"Not much." Gu Zhiqi replied, then asked Gu Xiyue, "The person who injured you was Qi Rui. Did you know?"
Gu Xiyue nodded, "I knew."
This matter was informed to her by the Law Enforcement Hall.
However, she couldn’t understand why Qi Rui’s cultivation level suddenly became so high.
After Mo Qingsnow was captured, Gu Xiyue had someone investigate Qi Rui and also had someone test him.
Although they hadn’t yet figured out whether Qi Rui was involved in the poisoning incident, it was confirmed that his cultivation level was only at the third order.
What Gu Xiyue couldn’t understand was how, in just half a month, Qi Rui’s cultivation level surpassed hers.
Gu Zhiqi said, "His cultivation level was forcibly taken."
Hearing this, Gu Xiyue’s eyes shifted slightly.
Seeing the change in Gu Xiyue’s eyes, Gu Zhiqi realized that Lok Gui hadn’t told Gu Xiyue about Qi Rui’s cultivation being taken, so she explained the situation briefly, also mentioning that this "Qi Rui" was just a puppet being controlled by someone.
Although Qi Rui was dead, he shouldn’t take the blame for things he didn’t do.
After hearing this, Gu Xiyue felt a complicated mix of emotions.
"He took the cultivation of eighty-one people and needs to set up a great array. I want to find some people to help. Can you send someone to pick them up for me?"
Gu Zhiqi sought out Gu Xiyue primarily for this matter.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiyue immediately nodded, "Of course."
"I’ll send you the address later." After saying this, Gu Zhiqi glanced at Gu Xiyue thoughtfully.
Feeling her gaze, Gu Xiyue glanced sideways at her, her eyes showing a hint of inquiry.
"Do you know any Mystic Masters?"
The helpers she could find included Lv Yao and Jin Cenglv, and she could pull Xuan Lingzi in as support, but they were still one helper short.
Gu Xiyue was a Mystic Master, so she should know other Mystic Masters, right?
Hearing Gu Zhiqi’s question, Gu Xiyue paused slightly, then said, "When will the array setup start?"
Gu Zhiqi: "Once we gather five Mystic Masters."
After hearing this, Gu Xiyue paused for a moment, "The day after tomorrow, I should be able to use Yuan Force. Besides, I can also find a fourth-order primary stage Mystic Master to help."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi’s eyes showed a glimmer of interest, "Are you sure that person can come?"
Gu Xiyue nodded.
Not only sure, but that person was also arriving at the Medical Alliance this afternoon.
Gu Zhiqi: "Then the day after tomorrow it is. I can find two more helpers on my side too."
