Chapter 2066: Hua Manor, Hua Ye
Originally, we intended to capture someone alive, but unexpectedly, after confirming he couldn’t escape, Quan San directly committed suicide.
In the end, Gu Zhiqi only got a corpse, which was taken away by the City Defense Army.
The leader of the Green Star Four City Defense Army was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. After having his subordinates register their names and verify their identities, he cheerfully looked at Gu Zhiqi and said, "You’re quite capable, young lady. What’s your name? Interested in joining my ranks?"
Gu Zhiqi shook her head, then left with Su Yunling and her pals.
Once the figures were out of sight, the subordinate handed the register to the leader.
The leader looked at the words "Green Star, Gu Family, Gu Zhiqi" written in the register, and his smile froze.
With a wooden expression, he turned his head toward his subordinate, "How many Gu Zhiqis are there in the Gu Family?"
Subordinate: "Seems like there’s only one."
Leader: "Why didn’t you remind me earlier that she’s that little ancestor?"
Subordinate: "Didn’t dare."
Leader: "..."
F**k!
He had just invited that little ancestor to join his ranks.

Elsewhere, after walking some distance, Qiao Qingshu approached Gu Zhiqi and asked, "Should we treat them first?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi turned her head to look at her partners, realizing they were indeed injured.
Gu Zhiqi: "Is anyone severely injured?"
Everyone shook their heads; they only suffered minor wounds.
"Then let’s treat them later, we’re almost there," Gu Zhiqi said, leading the way.
After walking a few more steps, she suddenly turned her head towards Qiao Qingshu, "The Twin Vine is extremely rare; even in Nine Stars City, it’s a treasure. In the future, unless absolutely necessary, it’s best not to release it in front of untrustworthy people."
Hearing this, Qiao Qingshu froze for a moment, then nodded at Gu Zhiqi.
After walking some more, they arrived in front of a house. Above the gate hung a sign that read "Hua Manor."
"We’re here," Gu Zhiqi said as she approached the gate and knocked.
With no one around, while waiting, Gu Zhiqi let Qiao Qingshu use the Twin Vine to heal everyone’s wounds.
A dozen seconds later, the wounds healed, and the door opened.
The door had just opened when a girl dressed in green and white appeared inside, "Look..."
Midway through her sentence, her voice paused, and she suddenly widened her eyes in shock at Gu Zhiqi, "Sa... Sa Sa... Sa Sa Sa..."
Seeing her struggle to get out just one word, Gu Zhiqi spoke, "I permit you not to speak."
But the girl was stubborn, continually muttering, "Sa Sa Sa..."
Gu Zhiqi: "Is your master here?"
The girl finally stopped and nodded vigorously at Gu Zhiqi, then gazed longingly at her.
She truly wanted to say something to express her astonishment.
Seeing Hua Ye staring blankly at her and not moving, Gu Zhiqi spoke again, "Aren’t you going to invite us in?"
Hua Ye nodded vigorously and then shook her head, "No no no..." After several "no’s," she finally squeezed out the second and third words, "Quick quick quick... in in... in!"
Upon seeing this, Gu Zhiqi directly stepped inside the house.
Tang Yichen and the others immediately followed Gu Zhiqi.
The girl also shut the door tight and followed Gu Zhiqi.
Walking forward, Gu Zhiqi introduced Hua Ye, "That’s... your little junior sister, Qiao Qingshu."
As she spoke, she glanced at Qiao Qingshu, "This is Hua Ye, your master’s first disciple."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Qingshu immediately nodded to Hua Ye, "Hello, senior sister."
Hua Ye: "Li... Li Li... Ju Ju Ju..."
Her lips almost cramped from trying, yet she couldn’t say the word "sister."
Upon seeing this, everyone fell silent for a moment.
