Chapter 2067: Little Stutter; Hua Yan
Originally, it was thought that the girl struggled to say even a couple of words because she was too shocked upon seeing Gu Zhiqi, hence the stuttering.
Now it seems, she really is just a little stutterer.
Little Stutter Xiao Ye flushed red, but still couldn’t say the word ’sister’, and ultimately, could only skip it and say to Qiao Qingshu, "Alright... alright."
Xiao Ye has a round face and large eyes, standard clear doe-like eyes, coupled with her pure aura, she’s also a little stutterer, which makes her look adorably silly.
Even though Qiao Qingshu calls her ’senior sister’, she feels that Xiao Ye is actually the junior sister.
Unaware of Qiao Qingshu’s thoughts, after exchanging greetings with Qiao Qingshu, Xiao Ye wanted to talk more with her but considering her speaking speed, she had to give up.
And then went to Gu Zhiqi to apply poison.
"Mas... Mast... Master, wha... why... are you... here?"
A short sentence, which Xiao Ye stuttered through with pauses and repetitions, and even left out a word, was finally completed.
Gu Zhiqi said, "I’m attending Nine Stars Academy, and happened to come check on you and your master."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye’s eyes instantly brightened, "Go... go... to... sch... school, then... that means a long... long... long..."
Then followed a lengthy series of ’long’ words.
The people accompanying Gu Zhiqi were exhausted just from listening to her.
Gu Zhiqi was also a bit tired, so when she guessed what Xiao Ye was going to say next, she immediately spoke up, "As long as nothing unexpected happens, it should indeed be a long stay."
The moment Xiao Ye heard it, her eyes brightened even more.
Just as she was about to speak again, Gu Zhiqi covered her mouth, "Listen to me, if you can, let’s communicate via cell phone."
Xiao Ye blinked her eyes and eventually nodded.

Besides the towering trees, Hua Manor has all kinds of flowers and plants.
If you know, you can tell you’ve walked into a manor; if not, you might think you’ve entered a garden.
These flowers and plants include quite a few exotic ones, and both Gu Zhiqi and Qiao Qingshu couldn’t help but take a closer look.
After walking a while, Mo Weiran suddenly stopped, staring at a large cluster of flowers ahead, "Miss, is this... Soul’s Return to Hometown?"
With Mo Weiran’s words, both Gu Zhiqi and Qiao Qingshu directed their gaze towards the flowers he was staring at.
The gaps between the flowers are very narrow, so even though they don’t cover a large area, the sheer quantity makes up for it. The purple flowers cluster together, swaying gently with the green leaves.
Even though there’s no wind, none of the other flowers and plants are moving, only this patch of Soul’s Return to Hometown swaying noticeably.
Under Mo Weiran’s questioning gaze, Gu Zhiqi nodded to him, "Indeed, it’s Soul’s Return to Hometown."
No one knows how Hua Yan managed to cultivate Soul’s Return to Hometown this well.
Just as the few of them stood by the flower bed, staring at Soul’s Return to Hometown, a gentle voice suddenly reached their ears, "Xiao Yezi, do we have guests?"
Upon hearing this voice, everyone turned their heads to see who spoke.
And Hua Yan, upon seeing Gu Zhiqi’s appearance, took a slight pause in her steps, and after a long while, trembled slightly as she spoke, "Ma... Master?"
Gu Zhiqi had a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, nodded at Hua Yan, and said lazily, "Long time no see."
The two hadn’t met in three years, and Gu Zhiqi now looked quite different from three years ago. Hua Yan was a bit uncertain about Gu Zhiqi’s identity, but the moment Gu Zhiqi spoke, she confirmed that indeed, this was her Little Master.
