After Gu Zhiqi and Su Yunling left, the hall instantly exploded into discussion.

"Who was that little girl?"

"She just came out of the Trial Realm, so she can only be from the Immortal Medical Alliance, right?"

"That shouldn’t be. She’s that pretty. If she were a disciple of the Immortal Medical Alliance, there’s no way we wouldn’t have heard of her."

"Didn’t people on the forum say before that there was a little girl by Su Yunling’s side? Her back looks pretty similar."

"It’s been so long already. Yun Yi still hasn’t made a move on that little girl?"

"Probably just hasn’t had the time yet."

"Sigh~ The little girl doesn’t know how sinister people’s hearts are. I’m afraid she’s going to fall into Yun Yi’s poisonous hands soon."

...

Unaware of the chatter in the hall, Gu Zhiqi and Su Yunling were already in the car on their way back.

On the way back, Su Yunling asked Gu Zhiqi, "When are you planning to start the fourth round of the trial?"

Hearing this, Gu Zhiqi pondered for a few seconds.

If Su Yunling hadn’t come back, she would probably have entered the Trial Realm tomorrow. But since Su the Beauty was back... she’d just delay it two or three days.

After thinking it over, she still didn’t answer Su Yunling’s question, and instead asked, "How long are you staying in the Ancient Martial Arts World this time?"

Su Yunling: "Three or four days."

As soon as Gu Zhiqi heard that, she immediately said, "Then I’ll go in four days later." As she spoke, she turned her head slightly, looked at Su Yunling and said, "In the next few days, I’ll just be keeping our Su the Beauty company."

Hearing this, Su Yunling’s lips curled up slightly.

After driving forward for a bit, something suddenly occurred to him, and he said to Gu Zhiqi, "In two days it’s Grandfather Fu’s hundredth birthday. Did you know?"

Gu Zhiqi: "...Huh? He’s having a birthday celebration too?"

He really didn’t know about this.

Su Yunling raised a brow and asked, "’Too’? Who else is having a birthday?"

Gu Zhiqi was looking down, fiddling with her phone. "My grandpa’s about to celebrate his birthday too." Thinking of the other grandfather in the Ancient Martial Arts World, she added an explanation to Su Yunling, "The grandpa in Haicheng."

Su Yunling nodded and quietly made a note of it.

Gu Zhiqi tapped on her phone for a while, then turned her head to look at Su Yunling and asked, "Do you know what Grandfather Fu likes?"

"He likes burning incense, tasting tea, and appreciating calligraphy and paintings." As he spoke, he looked at Gu Zhiqi. "If you want to give a birthday gift, you can give incense, tea sets, or calligraphy and paintings."

After he finished, he paused, then added to Gu Zhiqi, "If you’re giving a painting, one you draw yourself would be perfect."

He’d seen Gu Zhiqi’s painting skills before.

Because he was familiar with Jin Cengran, he’d seen the works of several of the Jin Family’s better painters.

The Jin Family uses painting as a way of Entering the Path. Compared to others in the same field, their paintings are unmatched in the entire circle, and some members of the Jin Family have been studying painting for decades, with very deep insight into the art.

He didn’t know if it was because of "love me, love my dog," that made him favor Gu Zhiqi’s paintings even more.

Anyway, in Su Yunling’s eyes, out of all the paintings he’d seen before, not a single one could compare to Gu Zhiqi’s.

Hearing this, Gu Zhiqi nodded. "I’ll think about it."

If she couldn’t find a suitable gift, drawing a painting for the old man wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

Something occurred to Su Yunling, and he said to Gu Zhiqi, "If you don’t want to give a painting, I can take you around the Ancient Martial Arts World tomorrow to pick out a gift."

He suddenly remembered that Little Uncle Jin was looking for an inheritor, and Jin Cenglv and Fu Wangchan had both been deeply poisoned.

If they saw Gu Zhiqi’s paintings, there was no guarantee they wouldn’t cling to her.

So he suddenly didn’t want Gu Zhiqi to give calligraphy or paintings anymore.

Gu Zhiqi agreed right away when she heard that.
