CHAPTER 202: CHAPTER 202: ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE

In response to Gu Ningyue’s question, Lu Qingqing answered quite straightforwardly.

"Yes! I found Shangguan Wuyue."

Gu Ningyue discreetly glanced at Ji Qianqian across from her, and took a sip of the tea in her cup, a fine pre-rain Longjing.

You couldn’t tell, someone as fashionable as Lu Qingqing actually enjoys drinking tea.

"Seems like you’ve got some good luck." Gu Ningyue said calmly, "Did Shangguan Wuyue agree to treat Qianqian?"

Shangguan Wuyue is just as unpredictable in his whereabouts as my master; even finding him is extremely difficult, let alone asking him to treat an illness.

No one knows this better than Gu Ningyue.

"Sort of!" Lu Qingqing smiled, "I came to Y City this time for Qianqian’s illness."

Shangguan Wuyue put forth a request; for Ji Qianqian, she was, of course, willing to comply.

To be safe, she didn’t leak any information to prevent being intercepted halfway.

She didn’t expect to run into Gu Ningyue here.

This, she hadn’t anticipated.

"I see!" Gu Ningyue responded, speaking slowly, "I’ve heard Shangguan Wuyue demands special conditions for treating illnesses. What did he ask of you?"

Hearing that Lu Qingqing found Shangguan Wuyue, Gu Ningyue had already roughly guessed why she suddenly took an interest in jade.

It’s likely all due to Shangguan Wuyue’s request.

Gu Ningyue felt uneasy, hoping as she asked that Lu Qingqing was simply motivated by curiosity, and the Blood Jade was unrelated to Shangguan Wuyue.

Yet, it seems that in this world, the more you hope, the more you’re disappointed.

Gu Ningyue heard Lu Qingqing clearly say, "A piece of jade, Shangguan Wuyue said that as long as I get that jade, he would agree to help detoxify Qianqian."

Initially, she didn’t quite trust his medical skills; after all, these days, fame is often bigger than talent.

She’d seen too many of these cases.

But who would’ve known, this Shangguan Wuyue showed her something.

Ji Qianqian spat out a mouthful of black blood, and after a day of unconsciousness, her eyes appeared much clearer than before.

Though the change wasn’t particularly significant, interacting with her daily had clearly become better than before.

Gu Ningyue sighed deeply in her heart; it was indeed for the Blood Jade.

Now it’s over; it was hard enough to find a path, only to have it blocked here.

Her luck was indeed rather poor.

"When Qianqian recovers, how do you plan to arrange her?" Gu Ningyue lifted her gaze and shifted the topic, "These years, she hasn’t attended school, right?"

Lu Qingqing nodded, "That’s not a problem; if necessary, I’ll hire a tutor, or buy a diploma! Alternatively, if she wants to learn something, I can send her to study! By then, the money her parents left behind should come into effect, and I would also feel at ease."

Gu Ningyue responded indifferently, "Having a sister like you, she is very fortunate."

Just like she, having encountered her master was fortunate.

Lu Qingqing’s lips curved slightly. She looked at Gu Ningyue and asked, "How about you? Why did you come to Y City?"

Gu Ningyue hesitated for a moment: "Got into an argument with Ling Tianyou, came to clear my mind."

If she told the truth, Lu Qingqing might have to be on guard against her closely during this time.

"An argument?" Lu Qingqing seemed a bit skeptical, but quickly thought of something and asked, "Is it because of Chen Rui?" Gosh, she had almost forgotten Chen Rui.

Her previous words should have confirmed Chen Rui’s appearance ruined their relationship.

And seemed to push Ling Tianyou into a criticized position?

With this thought, Gu Ningyue felt a bit embarrassed: "Well, not really, just some trivial matters, totally unrelated to Chen Rui. Maybe, I’m too headstrong! Don’t tell Ling Tianyou that I came to Y City, thanks."

Lu Qingqing took a sip of tea, "Yeah, don’t worry, I’m not that much of a gossip."

Gu Ningyue nodded, holding her tea cup silently.

After a while, Gu Ningyue stood up and said, "I have some things to do this afternoon, I am leaving, goodbye!"

Ji Qianqian stood up ahead of her, "Sister, where are you going? Qianqian wants to go too."

In her mind, whenever she’s with Gu Ningyue, it’s Gu Ningyue taking her out to play.

So upon hearing Gu Ningyue say she’s leaving, Ji Qianqian naturally thought she was going out to have fun.

Gu Ningyue looked at Ji Qianqian and said, "Sister is going out to handle some things, Qianqian, be good and stay here with Sister Qingqing, okay?"

Ji Qianqian pouted reluctantly, but didn’t cry like before.

Gu Ningyue reached out and touched her face, "Qianqian, be good, in a few days I’ll take you out to play, okay?"

Ji Qianqian obediently answered, "Okay!"

Gu Ningyue left, and the door behind her closed again, she let out a long sigh of relief.

It seemed that Lu Qingqing didn’t notice anything unusual.

Having developed to this point, there were already too many things completely beyond her control.

"I’m out, where are you now?" Gu Ningyue dialed Lin Ruixian’s number, "Still at the café?"

Lin Ruixian replied with a yes, "If you weren’t coming out soon I’d have thought of going back to wait for you. Why so long?"

Gu Ningyue sighed, her voice sounded indescribably helpless and lost, "Is there any solution other than Cheng Yihan?"

Although Lin Ruixian didn’t know what had happened, Gu Ningyue’s way of asking indicated she had encountered some uncontrollable obstacle: "You should come back! We’ll talk when we meet."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Gu Ningyue headed towards the café.

Fifteen minutes later, Lin Ruixian looked at Gu Ningyue across from him and spoke, "Gu Weiwei, can you be any softer-hearted?"

His look clearly expressed frustration.

In less pressured times, Gu Ningyue could certainly be soft-hearted, hesitant, considerate of others.

But now, the Blood Jade involved, apart from himself, also includes Gu Ningyue herself.

Though this piece of jade isn’t a rare treasure, worth millions, obtaining it is undeniably an extremely difficult task.

He managed to get information with difficulty, and yet she’s telling him now, let it go?

In her view, does he really mean less than a random young girl she met?

"Does the life or death of that girl have anything to do with you?" Lin Ruixian gripped the water cup; his slender fingers appeared fair and handsome, yet completely mismatched with his extremely angry demeanor: "I ask you, if you didn’t know her, wouldn’t you still take this Blood Jade?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Of course I would."

"But, you saw that young girl earlier too; she needs that Blood Jade to become a normal person."

Gu Ningyue sighed, letting her take away Ji Qianqian’s chance personally was simply too cruel.
