Chapter 2021: The Blueprint and Jade Pendant; Handwriting
Gu Zhiqi detected that Ye You’s tone wasn’t quite right, and gave him a suspicious look. However, she didn’t say much more, merely nodding her head.
Originally planning to recall things about the Mystic Realm, suddenly, her hand was held.
She turned her head to look at the person holding her hand.
Su Yunling: "Some things, once forgotten, are better left that way. Don’t think about them."
Since it’s about a deceased person, it’s best if she doesn’t remember.
For one, it might affect the relationship between him and Master Zhi.
If she truly remembers, it would likely upset Master Zhi.
He doesn’t want to see her sad.
Although Su Yunling tried hard to hide his inner discomfort, Gu Zhiqi still noticed his abnormality, staring at him for a few seconds, and asked, "What’s wrong? Your expression is strange."
Su Yunling shook his head, "Nothing."
Gu Zhiqi didn’t believe it and wanted to say more, but then Ye You spoke up, "Young Master, we’ve arrived."
Thus, Gu Zhiqi had to temporarily set aside her doubts.
In the empty space, the most conspicuous thing was still that glass pillar.
Gu Zhiqi stared at the items within the pillar for a few seconds, then stepped towards the pillar.
"Young Master, don’t get too close yet, I’ll go disable the mechanisms first."
Ye You’s voice sounded beside her.
Gu Zhiqi nodded and acknowledged.
Gu Zhiqi didn’t get too close, stopping two meters away from the glass pillar, only moving towards it once Ye You said the mechanisms had been disabled.
There was a button beside the pillar; Gu Zhiqi pressed it, and the glass cover disappeared.
However, the diagram and jade pendant still hovered mid-air.
Gu Zhiqi raised her hand, intending to grab the diagram and jade pendant; as soon as she lifted her hand, they automatically flew into her hand.
Once she got the items, the first thing Gu Zhiqi did was stare at the jade pendant for a while.
The jade pendant was a piece of fragmented jade that seemed to have other parts, containing a mysterious energy within.
Staring at the jade pendant for a while, she put it away, then unfolded the diagram and lowered her head to examine it.
Upon seeing the contents of the diagram clearly, a trace of surprise swept across Gu Zhiqi’s eyes. She turned the diagram back and forth, studying it for a long time, before looking at Su Yunling, "Brother Ling, come and look at this formation."
Su Yunling was still preoccupied with earlier matters, somewhat absent-minded.
Upon hearing Gu Zhiqi call him, he quickly snapped back to attention.
He stepped to Gu Zhiqi’s side, glanced at the diagram’s contents.
"This is... an incomplete formation."
"The writing above..." Gu Zhiqi said, raising her hand to point at the writing on the diagram.
Clearly written there: After acquiring the diagram, use the jade pendant to find the Yun Family descendants for the second Fragmented Scroll.
Besides the content, the handwriting was also intriguing, identical to his handwriting.
Clearly, Gu Zhiqi recognized the handwriting on it, which was why she had Su Yunling come over to see it. Confirming that Su Yunling also recognized the handwriting, Gu Zhiqi asked, "Have you also been to five hundred years ago?"
Earlier Ye You mentioned this was placed here five hundred years ago.
Su Yunling promptly shook his head at Gu Zhiqi, "Never."
Just as Su Yunling replied, Ye You beside them moved his lips but, thinking of something, ultimately didn’t speak.
Su Yunling and Gu Zhiqi were focused on the diagram and didn’t notice Ye You’s halted attempt to speak.
Gu Zhiqi continued looking at Su Yunling and asked, "Then do you remember writing these words?"
Su Yunling shook his head again, "No."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi turned her head to stare at Su Yunling, "Have you... ever experienced amnesia?"
