CHAPTER 1040: CHAPTER 1040 CONVERSATION

Gu Xiyue, not knowing what was on Ling Piaomu’s mind, looked at Ling Piaomu and said coldly, "Don’t say what you just said ever again."

Ling Piaomu was brought back to her senses by Gu Xiyue’s words. Hearing the coldness in Gu Xiyue’s tone, Ling Piaomu immediately said, "Hasn’t she always targeted you? Aren’t you curious why she changed so much?"

"Are you sure her rescuing you isn’t part of some conspiracy?" Ling Piaomu still couldn’t believe Gu Zhiqi would save Gu Xiyue.

She always felt that Gu Zhiqi saving Gu Xiyue was part of a conspiracy.

Gu Xiyue: "Do you think she has nothing better to do?"

Ling Piaomu: "..."

"If she didn’t come to rescue me, she wouldn’t have to bother with any conspiracy at all."

Ling Piaomu: "..."

Indeed, if Gu Zhiqi really wanted to harm Gu Xiyue, she simply needed to stand by when Gu Xiyue failed to advance.

For now, Ling Piaomu fell completely silent.

"I appreciate you all looking out for me, but Gu Zhiqi is not the same as before. You guys have no real grudge against her; all your opinions are because of me. Now, I get along with her pretty well, she won’t do anything to me anymore, so could you try to put down your prejudices against her?" Gu Xiyue addressed Ling Piaomu with sincerity in her tone.

Jiang Qi is stubborn; it’s pointless to try reasoning with him. To make him remember, we can only let him suffer some setbacks.

That’s why Gu Xiyue forcibly sent him to the F continent.

To make him remember, to stop him from causing trouble for Gu Zhiqi, and also to save his life.

After all, whether before or after Ancient Martial Arts was abolished, Gu Zhiqi could easily kill Jiang Qi.

Ling Piaomu is different from Jiang Qi; although Ling Piaomu is somewhat stubborn, she can be reasoned with. So, after hearing Ling Piaomu’s doubts about Gu Zhiqi, Gu Xiyue took the effort to explain so much to Ling Piaomu.

Ling Piaomu: "I... I won’t actively cause trouble for her."

Previously, she had promised Gu Yuluo that she wouldn’t actively find trouble with Gu Zhiqi.

But after all, Gu Yuluo is a member of the Gu Family, and in Ling Piaomu’s view, she is biased towards Gu Zhiqi, just protecting Gu Zhiqi. So although she promised Gu Yuluo not to find trouble with Gu Zhiqi again, she was still somewhat unwilling in her heart.

Now, Gu Xiyue personally spoke to her so seriously, Ling Piaomu naturally wouldn’t treat her words lightly.

Especially now that she knew Gu Zhiqi had saved Gu Xiyue.

Just because of this, she couldn’t find trouble with Gu Zhiqi anymore. Furthermore, considering she saved Gu Xiyue, she even had to be a bit polite to her.

At this point, their conversation was more or less over.

Gu Xiyue said nothing more, raised her foot, and continued walking in the direction of Gu Zhiqi’s room.

After taking a few steps, she heard a scream.

Gu Xiyue’s footsteps paused slightly, then she quickened her pace.

From a distance, Gu Xiyue could hear cursing and knocking on the door.

Walking alongside Gu Xiyue, Ling Piaomu, upon hearing these sounds, also paused slightly in her steps.

This is... an argument?

Weren’t those three here to thank Gu Zhiqi?

Why are the curses so harsh?

Ling Piaomu’s face immediately became somewhat unpleasant.

She had just promised Gu Xiyue that she wouldn’t cause trouble for Gu Zhiqi; now she realized that she had unintentionally brought trouble to Gu Zhiqi.

It felt like she slapped herself in the face.

Listening to those shouts, Gu Xiyue’s face also became grim, her eyes cold, and she walked towards Lv Suhua, who was shouting.

"You little bitch, if you have the guts...ah!" The curses were replaced by screams.
