Chapter 1992: Master Zhi: If It Hurts, It Hurts You More
The two hands clasped together tightened more and more, ten fingers locked and intertwined, as if they were competing in earnest, neither willing to lose, their strength growing heavier and heavier.
By the time they let go, the backs of both their hands were flushed red.
Su Yunling lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the bright red on the back of Gu Zhiqi’s hand, and said with a hint of regret, "Did it hurt?"
The never-willing-to-lose Master Zhi replied immediately, "I used more strength than you. If it hurts, it hurts you more."
Su Yunling: "..."
The corner of his mouth twitched lightly, and in the end, he only said helplessly, "Mm, it hurts me more."
After he finished, he once again intertwined his fingers with Gu Zhiqi’s, brought her hand to his lips, and brushed it lightly with his lips.
Only then did he hold Gu Zhiqi’s hand and walk toward the dining table.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi clicked her tongue softly, then copied Su Yunling, taking his hand, bringing it to her lips, and touching it lightly.
Feeling the sensation coming from the back of his hand, Su Yunling’s steps paused for a moment, then he let out a soft laugh.

Gu Zhiqi had originally planned to go to the Yun Family first and then to the Mystic Alliance, but since she had already seen Su Yunling, she dropped that plan.
After eating at the Shadow Pavilion, Gu Zhiqi went straight to the Mystic Alliance, planning to visit the Yun Family in the evening.
Su Yunling personally sent Gu Zhiqi to the entrance of the Mystic Alliance, and in the evening, he also personally drove over to pick her up.
As he drove, he asked Gu Zhiqi, "How’s the investigation going?"
Gu Zhiqi shook her head and said, "I didn’t find anything useful today. I’m planning to go again tomorrow."
Hearing this, Su Yunling nodded lightly, then said to Gu Zhiqi, "If you really can’t find anything, you don’t have to be so fixated on it. Maybe, when the time comes, everything will become clear on its own."
Listening to Su Yunling, Gu Zhiqi nodded in agreement. "Makes sense."
Even though she echoed Su Yunling’s words, she still hadn’t given up on continuing to dig through the information.
Seeing this, Su Yunling let out a helpless smile and didn’t try to persuade her anymore, instead changing the subject to other topics.
As they chatted, Gu Zhiqi asked him, "What have you been busy with in the Ancient Martial Arts World lately?"
Ever since leaving Haicheng, Su Yunling had been staying in the Ancient Martial Arts World.
Gu Zhiqi had never asked him about it; now that it suddenly came to mind, she asked casually.
"Something happened with the Su Family, and I dealt with it."
"Two days ago, a major case happened in the Immortal Medical Alliance. It involves quite a few people, and Ling Yilin is implicated as well. I’ve been helping him investigate these days."
Speaking of this, Su Yunling frowned slightly.
Ling Yilin and Su Yunling could be considered childhood friends.
Now that he was in trouble, Su Yunling naturally had to help him.
It was just that the evidence they had so far was very unfavorable to Ling Yilin.
Hearing this, Gu Zhiqi grew curious, so she immediately asked, "What kind of case?"
Seeing that Gu Zhiqi asked, Su Yunling didn’t hide it. "The Great Elder and the Third Elder of the Immortal Medical Alliance were killed on the same day, just two days ago. At present, the suspects have been narrowed down to Ling Zhiyu and Ling Yilin."
"All the evidence we have so far points to the two of them."
"After Vice Alliance Leader Ling learned of this, she rushed back from the Medical Alliance. She doesn’t believe the two of them are murderers, so she asked the Law Enforcement Hall to help investigate the case."
"Right now, Old Fu isn’t in the Ancient Martial Arts World, so I’m temporarily helping with the investigation."
Even if Fu Xiyan were in the Ancient Martial Arts World, since this matter involved Ling Yilin, Su Yunling still wouldn’t sit by and do nothing.
Listening to Su Yunling, Gu Zhiqi was slightly taken aback.
Why is this Ling Zhiyu so disaster-prone?
