Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037: Please Return
After finding out where Gu Zhiqi’s residence was, Jin Xiaolan and the other two went to look for Gu Zhiqi, while Ling Piaomu headed towards the alchemy room.
Thinking to herself: I wonder if Yueyue has finished her alchemy.
Ling Piaomu pondered as she walked towards the alchemy room, just in time to see its door open, and a beaming Gu Xiyue stepped out from inside.
Ling Piaomu seldom saw Gu Xiyue like this; seeing her openly display joy made Ling Piaomu pause for a moment.
During her brief daze, Gu Xiyue had already approached her, "What’s up?"
Ling Piaomu was still in a daze, hence she instinctively shook her head.
Seeing this, Gu Xiyue directly stepped past Ling Piaomu, heading in a certain direction.
That direction happened to be towards Gu Zhiqi’s room.
Ling Piaomu noticed and quickly pursued, "Yueyue."
Unsure if Gu Xiyue heard Ling Piaomu calling her, she didn’t stop walking.
Ling Piaomu quickened her pace to continue chasing Gu Xiyue, "Yueyue, wait for me."
**
Gu Zhiqi was intently working on refining her mental method when the room’s door was knocked.
Stopping her typing, Gu Zhiqi recalled what Gu Xiyue had said before leaving, instinctively thinking it was Gu Xiyue coming to call her for dinner, so she immediately got up and opened the door.
Upon opening the door, she found that it wasn’t Gu Xiyue outside, but three people.
After determining she didn’t know them, not even finding them familiar, Gu Zhiqi lazily asked, "What’s up?"
Before the door opened, Jin Xiaolan had been worried about being fooled by Ling Piaomu, but upon seeing Gu Zhiqi truly answer the door, Jin Xiaolan’s eyes immediately brightened with joy.
Seeing Gu Zhiqi speak, Jin Xiaolan rapidly expressed eagerness, "Miss Gu, do you remember me?"
Gu Zhiqi: ?
Have they met?
Why doesn’t she have any recollection of them?
Standing next to Jin Xiaolan, Ma Tao frowned deeply when Jin Xiaolan immediately asked Gu Zhiqi if she remembered her.
Has she forgotten how they were quite disrespectful to Miss Gu last time?
Bringing up this matter again is just prompting Miss Gu to recall previous things, right?
For a moment, Ma Tao even questioned if Jin Xiaolan had any brains at all.
Not waiting for Jin Xiaolan to speak again, Ma Tao tugged on Jin Xiaolan’s sleeve and simultaneously stepped forward, addressing Gu Zhiqi, "We are teachers from the Medical Alliance Alchemy Hall, here to thank Miss Gu."
Gu Zhiqi, upon hearing, raised her eyebrows lightly, teachers from the Alchemy Hall?
With a fleeting hint of sarcasm in her eyes and a trace of mischievous laziness in her expression, "You three, are all teachers from the Alchemy Hall?"
She remembered Gu Xiyue mentioning that the Alchemy Hall had a total of six teachers.
The last time they were making the antidote, five of the six teachers came, then two left.
Gu Zhiqi had some impression of the three who didn’t leave.
She didn’t recognize these three in front of her.
Though she had no impression of their appearance, some of the events from the night they made the antidote, including some words Ma Tao had said, Gu Zhiqi still remembered vaguely.
Ma Tao felt critically that Gu Zhiqi’s expression had a hint of sarcasm.
If it were previously, encountering this, he would undoubtedly reprimand Gu Zhiqi and storm off, but now, he needed her help and couldn’t afford to show displeasure.
Therefore, he lowered his stance and said, "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi appeared even more nonchalant, "No need for gratitude, I have things to do. Please, all of you leave."
