Chapter 2117: Upgrade Mission (2); Xu Yuan

There’s an auction happening on the third floor today, but it hasn’t started yet. It will start in two hours.

Gu Zhiqi has already booked a private room and plans to visit the academy after the auction.

However, before the auction starts, Gu Zhiqi plans to take everyone to browse around the first floor and see if they can find any hidden treasures.

In matters of cultivation, destiny is also important. In such places, opportunities often arise unexpectedly, and it’s possible they might come across something fateful.

Gu Zhiqi continues to lead the group forward, reminding them, "If you see something that catches your eye, just buy it. It might be your destined opportunity."

Except for Mo Weiran, everyone else is wealthy and doesn’t need to worry about financial matters.

As for cash-strapped Mo Weiran...

At this thought, Gu Zhiqi suddenly turned to Mo Weiran, "Don’t buy anything. Pay me back soon."

You’re already a Ninth-order Cultivator, what more opportunities do you need?

Better to save up and repay your debt quickly.

Mo Weiran: "..."

The others chuckled silently and continued browsing.

As they were walking, suddenly someone brushed past Gu Zhiqi, really bumped into her shoulder.

Because the person was in a hurry, they didn’t stop, just turned back and said to Gu Zhiqi, "Sorry."

The voice was that of a girl.

After apologizing to Gu Zhiqi, the girl continued to run forward without stopping.

Gu Zhiqi immediately halted, turned around, and watched the girl swiftly run through the crowd.

Among the bustling crowd, it wasn’t hard to see that the girl was being chased.

However, Gu Zhiqi couldn’t tell exactly how many people were chasing her.

Seeing Gu Zhiqi stop, Su Yunling also halted, "What’s wrong?"

"You all continue browsing, I’ll be right back," Gu Zhiqi said, releasing Su Yunling’s hand and intending to chase after the girl.

Seeing this, Su Yunling immediately said, "I’ll go with you."

Gu Zhiqi originally wanted Su Yunling to stay behind to look after the weaker ones, but remembering Mo Weiran, the fake weakling, decided against it. Instead, she said to Tang Yichen and the others, "Keep browsing. If I’m not back in two hours, go to the Heavenly Domain Pavilion."

Remembering something, Gu Zhiqi took out a Token and handed it to Tang Yichen, "Take this, someone will guide you to the private room."

Tang Yichen took the Token, and Gu Zhiqi immediately left, pulling Su Yunling along.

Seeing the two leave, Mo Weiran promptly approached Tang Yichen and asked, "Fourth Master, where’s the young lady going?"

Tang Yichen shook his head, indicating he didn’t know, "Let’s keep browsing."

Meanwhile, Gu Zhiqi was pulling Su Yunling along, chasing after the girl. As they walked a distance away, Chubby Chiu’s voice suddenly echoed in her mind, "Beep~ Upgrade mission ② triggered, please rescue Xu Yuan."

"Friendly reminder, the girl you’re chasing with Su the Beauty is Xu Yuan~"

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi paused slightly and muttered softly, "Xu Yuan?"

The name sounded somewhat familiar.

Gu Zhiqi didn’t notice that while she was conversing with Chubby Chiu, Su Yunling glanced at her.

After reciting Xu Yuan’s name, Gu Zhiqi continued to pull Su Yunling forward.

Watching Gu Zhiqi walking ahead, a hint of doubt flashed in Su Yunling’s eyes.

Earlier, he clearly sensed Gu Zhiqi’s mental fluctuation, similar to the fluctuation when transmitting sound, but he didn’t receive any transmission from her. So, who was she communicating with?
