Chapter 2012: Zhizhi: Meeting the Parents in Nine Stars City
"Are you kidding?" Su Yunling was half-skeptical about Gu Zhiqi’s words.
After all, he had never seen any other Eighth Order Ancient Martial Artist around her before.
Gu Zhiqi nodded at Su Yunling and then muttered in dissatisfaction, "You don’t believe me?"
Su Yunling immediately said, "I believe you."
In fact, he was half-convinced.
Gu Zhiqi smiled with curved eyes and said, "Once we’re out of the Ancient Martial Arts World, I’ll take you to meet them."
This time, Su Yunling fully believed her, "Okay."
After responding, Su Yunling asked Gu Zhiqi, "Why did you think of taking me to Nine Stars City?"
"The gate to Nine Stars City opens only once a month. If I go, I won’t see you for a month, and besides..."
It’s obvious that the loophole in this world hasn’t been fixed yet, maybe there’s another time-space travel to come.
At that time, who knows how long it will take before I see him again.
Gu Zhiqi stopped halfway through her words, and Su Yunling, curious, asked, "And besides what?"
Gu Zhiqi said earnestly, "I don’t want to be apart from you for too long."
Hearing this, Su Yunling smiled slightly.
"Oh, by the way, I’ll take you to meet the parents."
Su Yunling: ?
"Hmm? Meeting the parents in... Nine Stars City?"
But Gu Zhiqi didn’t reply to Su Yunling and instead buried her head into Su Yunling’s embrace.
Su Yunling was filled with confusion.
However, after arriving at the Fu Family, his confusion was resolved.
**
At the Fu Family, only Jin Huazhu and Fu Wangchan were home.
When the two arrived at the Fu Family, there was no one in the living room, but soon, Jin Huazhu and Fu Wangchan both came downstairs.
They came down together and greeted Su Yunling and Gu Zhiqi in unison.
Gu Zhiqi and Su Yunling also greeted them in return.
Jin Huazhu’s leg was healed, and after walking over to Gu Zhiqi, she immediately took Gu Zhiqi’s hand and sat on the sofa, "I heard you were unconscious for three days, how is it, is there any discomfort?"
Gu Zhiqi shook her head after hearing this, "No."
Jin Huazhu looked Gu Zhiqi up and down, and only after making sure she was okay did she breathe a slight sigh of relief.
"I didn’t expect you to come, your dad and grandpa aren’t here. Xiao Chan, give your dad a call and let him..."
Jin Huazhu’s words were interrupted by Gu Zhiqi.
"No need." After speaking, Gu Zhiqi immediately added, "I came to the Fu Family today to see you."
Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Jin Huazhu’s eyes.
Under Jin Huazhu’s questioning gaze, Gu Zhiqi asked, "Jin Huaqing, do you know her?"
At Gu Zhiqi’s words, Jin Huazhu’s expression changed slightly, not only Jin Huazhu, but Fu Wangchan sitting nearby also showed a change in expression.
After a long time, Jin Huazhu’s voice trembled as she looked at Gu Zhiqi and said, "Where... did you hear that name?"
Gu Zhiqi: "I’ve met her."
When Gu Zhiqi spoke, Jin Huazhu was stunned, "Met... met her? But... impossible, Qingqing wasn’t she already..."
"Where did you see her?"
Jin Huazhu tightly gripped Gu Zhiqi’s hand, staring at Gu Zhiqi, waiting for her answer.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi didn’t hide anything and said, "Nine Stars City."
Jin Huazhu: "Nine Stars City? What kind of place is that?"
"I think I’ve heard Qingqing mention it, but... how could it be? Qingqing died eighteen years ago."
"When did you see her?"
"How could you have possibly seen her?"
Jin Huazhu seemed a bit agitated, and her words were somewhat incoherent.
