Tan Yongsi didn’t say anything in response to her words. But at this, she could feel the temperature rising from the area on her shoulder.

She naturally thought of Jiang Yirui’s words at this time, and her face changed. She immediately walked away, taking Xixi with her. If the man was right, this bird could possibly breathe fire!

Tan Yongsi was dead meat, provoking the Wen family, as well as the Yan family.

Xi Hua thought that as she turned, but she unexpectedly almost ran into someone.

She looked up, and it was to a figure of a girl. The girl was standing outside the gate, her back facing her.

She frowned, but didn’t say anything. However, the girl beside her sneered. “Are you some guardian of the gates or something? Don’t you see that people are walking here?!”

“Yeah, I really didn’t.” The woman with her back to them turned around, a pair of sunglasses on her face that covered half her face. Her voice was cold, and though the weather in September was humid and hot, you could feel a chill shoot through you when you heard her voice.

As she spoke, she took off her glasses, revealing a flawless, clear face. Her eyes were narrowed slightly, giving off a casual, lazy look.

Her skin was as white as jade, and the sunlight reflected on it, making it look like it was sparkling and dazzling.

At this time, there weren’t many people at the gates of A University.

There were some people dressed in colorful clothes, and some other beauties, including Xi Hua from the medicine faculty. She was also one of the top beauties in the school, but she couldn’t compare to this woman dressed in white in front of her.

Her dressing was simple, but everyone could tell from the aura she exuded that she wasn’t any ordinary person.

The people around were initially silent, then everything seemed to explode in the next minute!

When had someone like this appeared in A University? The people who were watching from the sides were in a daze. With such an existence, who cares about the beauty or goddess listing of the school, they all paled in comparison to her!

Look at that face! Those eyelashes! That nose! That skin!

If such a person really existed, how could none of them have ever heard or seen her before?!

Xi Hua listened to all the whispers and chatter around her, and she finally came back to herself. She stared at the girl’s face, her eyes calculative. “Are you from our school?”

Gu Xiqiao held her sunglasses in one hand, while the other was in her pocket. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly. “Yes.”

Though she had already graduated.

“How is that possible!” Xi Hua sneered coldly. “I’m from the Faculty of Medicine, but I’ve never seen you before.” The glint in her eyes changed after hearing her answer. “I heard that there are lots of people pretending to be students of prestigious universities, and it looks like it’s a real thing.”

As soon as she said that, the surrounding noise started to get louder. They all looked at the cold girl standing outside the gate, doubt in all their eyes.

Turning the sunglasses in her hands a few times, Gu Xiqiao considered the girl in front of her, the indifferent expression on her face not changing. “Are you from the medical labs?”

The medical laboratory in A University is the world’s top laboratory. It was a place that doctors from the entire world wanted to get into, and those who were in it were all the world’s top doctors. The medical department of A University was the highest honor for all medical professionals!

Xi Hua puffed out her chest proudly. “I’ve passed the preliminary selections for it.”

After getting through the preliminary selections, there was a chance for them to enter the laboratory. Once she said that, everyone’s eyes turned to her again, full of admiration and worship.

There was only one graduate student from A University medicine faculty that could enter the laboratory every semester, after all.

“You passed the prelims?” Gu Xiqiao pinned her sunglasses to her chest. “Then, let me inform you now that you have no chance.”

Xi Hua’s smile vanished the instant she heard this, and sneered again. “Who the heck are you? Informing me? What right do you have?! Let me be honest with you, I’m acquainted with the Dean Zhu of the labs. I’ll definitely be able to get into the labs!”

While this was going on, another commotion was happening at the gates. A white car had come to a stop outside.

Xi Hua wanted to say some more, but when she caught sight of the car, she instantly ignored Gu Xiqiao, looking excitedly at the car beside them.

Apart from her, there were some other people who recognized who the owner of the car was.

“That’s Dean Zhu’s car! Oh my god! Why is he here today?”

“Dean Zhu?! You mean the world’s most talented doctor, Zhu Yuan, that Dean Zhu?!”

“That’s right, that’s the one!”

Zhu Yuan, the highest peak currently in the medicine faculty. He had used his own hands to solve countless dubious and almost impossible cases in the medical field!

A medical genius!

A medical monster!

The one that older generations have endless praises for!

The worship idol of all the younger generation!

The moment the door opened, a slender man with a pair of long legs stepped out.

His eyes swept across the crowd, and seemed to land on someone.

Everyone watching him saw the excited glint enter his eyes, and he hurried towards… Xi Hua from the Faculty of Medicine!

Could it be possible that he and Xi Hua really knew each other? That’s why he was walking towards her?

Xi Hua obviously also thought the same. She felt excited the closer he got, to the point that she almost forgot to breathe, and her heart was jumping up to her throat. Zhu Yuan was a legendary figure, the media had not been able to take a photograph of him for many years now. He was someone that even the commanders from various countries would receive personally and treat courteously.

She didn’t dare to imagine that this person would actually know her!

While she was busy thinking that, she belatedly realized that the genius doctor had already passed her, and was now standing in front of Gu Xiqiao.

Probably everyone around here didn’t expect to see this situation ending up like this!

The girl that they were suspecting whether or not she was a student from A University, was actually acquainted with a god like Zhu Yuan?

Zhu Yuan wasn’t bothered about the stares or thoughts of these people, standing in front of Gu Xiqiao, he felt that the sun today was dazzling, and he felt like he was in a dream. Ten years, and he finally was seeing this person in front of him again today. He had thought that she would never appear again.

Finally, he chuckled. Giving her a bow, he said the words slowly, “Miss Gu, you’re back.”

“Yeah.” Gu Xiqiao smiled. She looked at the school gates, and gave a sigh. “It’s still the same as ever.”

“It’s been ten years, there’s definitely some changes. I’ll take you to see the labs, there’s a portrait of you hanging in it.” Zhu Yuan chuckled. He had wanted to give the people in the laboratory a call, wanting to prepare them, but then after thinking a while, he put his phone away. Hm, it’s better to give them a surprise.

Gu Xiqiao nodded her head, and moved to follow Zhu Yuan. Before they left the area, she suddenly remembered something. She turned towards Xi Hua. “Zhu Yuan, do you know her?”

“No.” Zhu Yuan gave the girl a sparing glance, then turned away to look at Gu Xiqiao. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Gu Xiqiao smiled.

The two figures walked away slowly, disappearing into the distance.

The people gathered at the school gates were still in shock, feeling like they had been hallucinating. What was that that they had just seen?! The genius doctor, one said to be able to rescue people from the hands of death, was actually being so respectful to a girl?!

Who in the world was that girl?

Zhu Yuan’s attitude towards her was just mind blowing, so what was her real identity?!

Oh my god, the people standing at the gates were just going out of their mind, thinking about all these questions!

“Wait, I think I know…” A girl who was the nearest to them when they were there, suddenly spoke up. “I heard Dean Zhu calling her ‘Miss Gu’. If I’m not mistaken, the Miss Gu he’s referring to, is that Miss Gu…”

“Are you saying…” Some of the people around had already started to piece together the puzzle.

Almost at the same moment, everyone pulled out their phone to find that there was an uproar in all their social media platforms. All of them were only reposting one single Weibo!

In a small community area beside A University, Jiang Yirui had parked his car at the side of the road. Tang An was seated in the backseat. “Hey, isn’t that little beauty, the one that Chen Chen knows… what’s her name, Sisi?”

“Yeah.” Jiang Yirui glanced up at the direction that Tang An was looking at, naturally also catching sight of Tan Yongsi, as well as Xixi, who was on her shoulder.

His gaze turned towards Jiji, his eyes holding the question, ‘Is it really it?’

Jiji was sitting in the driver’s seat, but its eyes were not on Jiang Yirui. Its eyes were fixed on Tan Yongsi’s shoulder, unblinking and completely focused!

Seeing Jiji in this state, Jiang Yirui no longer needed to guess what it meant. He already knew what the answer was.

“Why is she heading to the bank, you think?” Tang An looked at Tan Yongsi’s retreating back. “Come to think of it, she even went to my ancestor’s house to read the feng shui before this. I heard from Chen Chen that she’s pretty good at it.”

“She’s a feng shui master?” Jiang Yirui, who initially didn’t have any interest in the topic, suddenly turned his heard towards Tang An.

Tang An was startled at the sudden shift in attitude, jumping up slightly in his seat. “That’s right, why the sudden big reaction?”

“Nothing.” Jiang Yirui turned away, narrowing his eyes slightly, thinking about something.

Tang An wasn’t bothered about him, and pulled out his phone to browse the net. He froze suddenly, his fingers hovering above the screen.

“F-F-Fatty Egg… Look… Look at this…” After a long time, he finally handed his phone over to Jiang Yirui, a blank look on his face.

Jiang Yirui had been upset when Tang An had called him by his nickname, but he took the phone nevertheless, and also froze when he saw what was on the screen.

Tang An had flipped to a post from The Forum.

The first picture in the post was a picture taken at the edge of the ancient martial arts world. Though the photo was not clear, it was possible to see that exquisite face in it. The ancient martial arts world was full of portraits of this person, so forget about her side profile, even if it was only her back, anyone would recognize who this was.

“I saw Miss Gu when I just got back from a mission! Oh my god! She still looks so young! It’s been twenty years! She’s not changed a single bit! I’m already at Houtian level, but I feel like she can kill me with just a breath! How far do you guys think she’s reached in terms of level?! I watched videos of what happened that year countless times, Miss Gu is my goddess, my idol, and I finally saw her in person! I really want to take a selfie with her, what do I do?! Miss Gu, aaahhhh! I’m sorry, so sorry! I’m so excited I don’t even know what I’m talking about!

As expected, this post became the most popular post in The Forum in a short time.

The ancient martial arts world was caught in waves of excitement at the news.

At the same time, the secular world was also in a similar state, exploding over the news.

Even the forces in the upper management of the Imperial Capital were moving.

Tang An looked at Jiang Yirui, still with the same blank expression. “Oh Egg, I have a feeling that, the capital isn’t going to be peaceful anymore.”
