Chapter 2000: Ling Muyan: Unable to Comprehend
Right in front of Ling Muyan, Gu Zhiqi took out her phone.
At the moment she saw the caller ID, a gentle and knowing smile appeared in Gu Zhiqi’s eyes.
Ling Muyan saw it, a fleeting look of confusion in her eyes.
After finishing the call with Su Yunling, Gu Zhiqi said to the absent-minded Ling Muyan, "My boyfriend is urging me, I have to go."
Ling Muyan snapped back to reality upon hearing this and nodded absently at Gu Zhiqi.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi said to Ling Muyan, "Farewell."
After speaking, she turned and walked towards the door.
Just as Gu Zhiqi grabbed the doorknob, Ling Muyan spoke up, "Miss Gu."
Gu Zhiqi turned her head, looking at Ling Muyan, with a questioning look in her eyes.
Ling Muyan asked, "Could you spare a little more time to answer a few questions?"
Gu Zhiqi nodded.
"Do you... really like Su Yunling?" That was Ling Muyan’s first question.
Gu Zhiqi nodded.
"But, what you cultivate is the Heartless Path?" The question filled Ling Muyan’s eyes with confusion.
Gu Zhiqi replied, "Is there... a conflict?"
Ling Muyan, hearing this, immediately said, "How can there not be a conflict? How can the Heartless Path allow feeling?"
"Has your affection for Su Yunling not affected your state of mind? Has your Cultivation Level not been impacted?"
When asking these questions, Ling Muyan was evidently a bit emotional, mixed with stubbornness.
Gu Zhiqi replied, "There’s an impact, but there can be none."
The confusion in Ling Muyan’s eyes grew deeper, "Why do you say that?"
Gu Zhiqi said, "When Miss Mu Yan meets someone she likes, she will understand."
Upon hearing this, Ling Muyan instinctively shook her head, "I can’t understand, can’t..."
Before finishing her sentence, Ling Muyan realized something abruptly and stopped speaking.
Afterward, she suddenly reined in her emotion, a hint of wariness growing in her heart, she glanced at Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi observed Ling Muyan’s emotional changes, but her expression remained unchanged, "It seems Miss Mu Yan has already met someone she likes."
Upon hearing this, Ling Muyan’s wariness intensified.
Just as Ling Muyan thought Gu Zhiqi might say more, Gu Zhiqi asked a question, "Does Miss Mu Yan have any other questions?"
Ling Muyan immediately shook her head, "No more."
"Farewell." Gu Zhiqi finished speaking, opened the door, and left.
Ling Muyan watched the door as it opened and closed, for a long time, she didn’t look away.
After a while, she softly muttered, "Can it be understood?"
Not knowing how long had passed, Ling Muyan gave a self-mocking laugh.
"Ha, how to understand?"
"It’s incomprehensible."
**
After leaving the private room, Gu Zhiqi’s expression instantly became reserved.
When Su Yunling saw her, there was still a hint of fatigue and coolness between her eyebrows.
Seeing this, Su Yunling reached out to hold her hand, then pressed her brow, "What’s wrong? Why the look?"
Hearing Su Yunling’s voice, Gu Zhiqi snapped back to herself, looked up at Su Yunling, then shook her head without speaking.
Seeing this, Su Yunling did not ask further, simply tightened his grip on her hand.
Feeling the force from the grip, Gu Zhiqi lowered her head slightly to take a glance.
Staring at their interlocked hands for a long time, a smile finally surfaced at the corner of Gu Zhiqi’s mouth.
Seeing Gu Zhiqi smile, Su Yunling’s mouth also lifted slightly, "Did you have a good dinner earlier?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi shook her head at Su Yunling.
She was too busy chatting to eat much.
