CHAPTER 1039: CHAPTER 1039: KICK OFF; CONVERSATION

"No need to apologize or thank us. You three, please leave," Gu Zhiqi said, directing her gaze to Lv Suhua’s hand, clearly indicating for her to let go.

Gu Zhiqi’s rejection left Jin Xiaolan and Ma Tao feeling a bit embarrassed.

Lv Suhua didn’t let go, instead, she kept her hand on the door and said to Gu Zhiqi, "Didn’t you teach Ruan Hao and the others alchemy last time? Teaching once is teaching, teaching twice is also teaching, can’t you teach us as well?"

"No," Gu Zhiqi replied, glancing again at Lv Suhua’s hand, "Let go, or I’ll shut the door."

Hearing this, Lv Suhua immediately stepped forward, now with both her hand and foot against the door.

If Gu Zhiqi closed the door, Lv Suhua would surely be caught.

Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi’s eyes showed a hint of coldness and impatience; she didn’t say more and simply lifted her foot.

"Ah!" As her foot hit Lv Suhua, Lv Suhua flew straight out.

"Bang!" The sound of Lv Suhua hitting the ground and the door being closed resonated simultaneously.

Jin Xiaolan and Ma Tao stared in disbelief at Lv Suhua, who had been heavily thrown to the ground.

This...

This Miss Gu, looking so frail, how did she kick Lv Suhua, a 180-pound woman, flying?

Jin Xiaolan and Ma Tao forgot to react; they glanced at Lv Suhua and then at the tightly closed door, uncertain whether they should knock.

If they knock, will they also be kicked out?

As Jin Xiaolan and Ma Tao hesitated, Lv Suhua regained her senses and got up from the ground, "That wretch actually dared to kick me."

Lv Suhua said, rolling up her sleeves and storming back to the door aggressively.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Open the door, open it for me."

"It’s just alchemy, fine if you don’t teach, but daring to kick me, who do you think you are?"

"Bang bang bang!"

"You wretch, come out here!"

The shouting mixed with the pounding echoed outside Gu Zhiqi’s door.

Jin Xiaolan and Ma Tao saw this and stood silently to the side.

On the other side, after leaving the alchemy room, Gu Xiyue intended to find Gu Zhiqi but was stopped halfway.

Ling Piaomu asked Gu Xiyue a bunch of questions and finally expressed her doubts.

"Don’t you think everything’s too coincidental? Why was it exactly when Gu Zhiqi arrived at the Medical Alliance that a revolt occurred? Also, how did she find the antidote, and after finding it, why do nearly all disciples of the Medical Alliance know her name even though she wasn’t the one distributing the antidote?"

"I’m asking these not because I think I’m smarter than you, but considering how protective you are of her now, I’m afraid you might believe her blindly and overlook these issues."

After hearing this, the joy on Gu Xiyue’s face morphed into coldness, "She came to the Medical Alliance because of me."

Ling Piaomu: ?

Gu Xiyue: "Haven’t you always been curious about how Yun Xin and Yun Yan successfully advanced to fifth-order Ancient Martial Artists in the Ever Winning Army? It’s because Gu Zhiqi helped them."

Ling Piaomu, hearing Gu Xiyue, showed shock in her eyes.

Gu Zhiqi?

How could it be her?

When did she get involved with the Ever Winning Army?

Ling Piaomu was too shocked to speak, so Gu Xiyue continued, "She came to the Medical Alliance because I failed to advance and was on the brink of disaster half a month ago, and she rushed to save me."

Ling Piaomu was even more shocked after hearing this.

How could it be?

How does Gu Zhiqi know how to do this?

Even if Gu Zhiqi has the skills, why would she come to rescue Yueyue?

Hasn’t she always been jealous of Yueyue?
