Lu Qing wanted to ask more questions, but Yu Hengzi didn't give her the chance and hung up the phone directly.
When she called back, her master's phone was already switched off.
Lu Qing sighed and gave up asking further questions.
There was no way she could ask her master about things he wouldn't tell her.
Lu Qing had a premonition that her master was hiding something very important from her.
Fortunately, Lu Qing was easygoing; after thinking for a while without finding an answer, he put it out of his mind.
Nothing happened that night, and Lu Qing went to class as usual the next day.
The day of the welcome party arrived quickly, and the playground was already being decorated before it even got dark.
The school seemed determined to wash away the shame of the previous student council incident, and made this party a grand affair.
The students were dressed in beautiful gowns; some were singing, some were dancing, and even many upperclassmen came to join in the fun.
The playground was bustling with singing and dancing.
Gu Fei was pulled away by Ruan Yinchen, Leng Wei was busy looking for her crush, and Cheng Yiyi and Yang Xiwen also wandered through the crowd looking at handsome guys.
Lu Qing's goal has always been the same: the dessert table.
She was eating when suddenly a boy extended his hand to her and bowed in a gentlemanly gesture.
"Excuse me, may I have this dance?"
Just as Lu Qing was about to refuse, she heard Gu Xicheng's voice:
"It's not really appropriate to ask my fiancée to dance!"
When the man saw Gu Xicheng, his expression stiffened slightly, and he left awkwardly.
Gu Xicheng walked up to Lu Qing and extended his hand:
"Beautiful young lady, would I have the honor of asking you to dance?"
"Gu Xicheng, I can't dance!" Lu Qing said with a helpless smile.
Gu Xicheng pulled her up and put his arm around her waist:
"It's okay, I'll teach you!"
Before Lu Qing could refuse, Gu Xicheng lifted her up.
Gu Xicheng supported her waist with one hand and held her hand with the other, moving to the music to dance.
As the eldest son of the Gu family, dancing is a required course, and Gu Xicheng dances very well.
However, Lu Qing was only a bronze-level player, and even with a master player to guide her, she couldn't improve her skills at all.
After the dance, Gu Xicheng's leather shoes were almost worn out.
Fortunately, Lu Qing didn't like wearing high heels, otherwise Gu Xicheng's feet probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.
"Gu Xicheng, why don't we go take a break?" Lu Qing said with a somewhat awkward smile.
Gu Xicheng didn't insist:
"Come on! I'll take you somewhere!"
After saying that, he pulled Lu Qing away from the bustling crowd, and before leaving, he didn't forget to give Lu Qing a few boxes of cakes.
Gu Xicheng brought Lu Qing to the library and took the elevator to the top floor.
Lu Qing asked, puzzled, "Why did you bring me to the library?"
"This isn't the final destination. Wait for me a moment."
Gu Xicheng entered the library, found a book on the top shelf that looked like it hadn't been touched in a long time, and took out a key from it.
"Come on, I'll take you to the rooftop to see the stars!"
Gu Xicheng pulled Lu Qing up the fire escape and opened the door that blocked the rooftop.
The evening breeze was cool, and it felt even more refreshing standing on the rooftop.
The bustling city is visible in the distance, yet there is no one to disturb you from the surroundings; it's a perfect place to escape to a quiet place.
Lu Qing was overjoyed:
"Gu Xicheng, how did you get the key to open the door?"
"I put it together myself!" Gu Xicheng replied with a smile.
"Why would you need to make a copy of the key to the rooftop door lock?" Lu Qing asked, puzzled.
“I stumbled upon this place when I was in college. It was very quiet and perfect for thinking, so I stole the key from the old man who was locking the door, made a copy, and hid it in a book.”
"On the way here, I was worried that the book might have been lost or that the key might have been found and taken. Luckily, it's still here."
Gu Xicheng lay down on the spot, completely unconcerned about the dust on the ground.
Lu Qing originally wanted to lie down on the spot, but Gu Xicheng stopped her and took off his coat and spread it on the ground:
"Lie down on it!"
Lu Qing smiled slightly and did not refuse Gu Xicheng's kindness.
The two lay on the rooftop like that. Although the ground beneath them was hard and covered with small pebbles, they felt like they were lying on a Simmons mattress.
"It's so quiet here, it feels like I'm back at Yutai Mountain!" Lu Qing said with her eyes closed, looking completely at ease.
Gu Xicheng: "Do you miss your master and mistress?"
Lu Qing nodded slightly.
Gu Xicheng: "National Day is in a few days. I'll go back with you to see Master and Mistress."
"good!"
The two were chatting when a gust of wind suddenly blew by.
The sudden, eerie aura made Lu Qing open her eyes abruptly and stand up.
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the edge of the rooftop, standing with its back to them.
"Who!" Lu Qing shouted sharply.
The person slowly turned around, and Lu Qing looked closely and realized it was Wang Ma.
"Wang Ma?"
"wrong!"
This Wang Ma is not the same person she met at the Chu family.
Gu Xicheng frowned and said in a low voice:
"Is she the Wang Ma you saw at the mall the other day?"
Lu Qing nodded: "That should be true."
This Wang Ma should be the real Wang Ma.
She slowly walked towards Lu Qing, her voice icy cold:
"Come with me!"
Lu Qing frowned and asked coldly, "You really are Wang Ma! You're the one who kidnapped me, aren't you?"
Wang Ma's voice grew increasingly cold:
"The dead don't need to know that much. Come with me!"
Wang Ma took two more steps forward. Just as Lu Qing was about to make a move, a Bagua mirror flew from the sky and knocked Wang Ma back.
The golden light from the Bagua mirror was so bright that she couldn't open her eyes.
Forced to the edge of the rooftop, she gritted her teeth and jumped off.
"Don't run!"
Lu Qing chased to the edge, only to see Wang Ma already limping and disappearing into the darkness.
"Junior Sister, stop chasing!"
A familiar voice came from behind her. Lu Qing turned around and saw her senior brother, Qin Yuebai, standing not far away.
There was another person lying at his feet.
Gu Xicheng was the first to notice that the person lying down was Wang Yanjun, and he quickly went over to help him up:
"Brother, what's wrong? Brother!"
"He's not dead, he's just unconscious."
Qin Yuebai said something indifferently, then walked towards Lu Qing.
His gaze softened considerably, and he reached out to touch Lu Qing's hair.
"Long time no see! You seem to have gained weight again!"
Qin Yuebai always had a stern face and was cold to everyone. Only when he saw Lu Qing would his eyes soften a little.
Lu Qing pinched the flesh on her cheek and pouted:
"Is there?"
Qin Yuebai lowered her eyes and smiled faintly:
"My master sent me to find you, to tell you some things, and to help you deal with some people."
"Senior Brother, what is Master hiding from me?" Lu Qing asked hurriedly.
Qin Yuebai didn't speak, but turned to look at Gu Xicheng:
"I need to talk to my junior sister about something. Are you going to leave on your own, or should I knock you out?"
Gu Xicheng: "..."
Lu Qing quickly stepped forward to defuse the situation:
"Senior Brother, he is Gu Xicheng, my fiancé. He knows everything about me."
Qin Yuebai shook her head slightly:
"This matter involves your sect, and he is not yet married to you, so you shouldn't listen to him."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xicheng immediately replied:
"Qingqing, I'll take my brother downstairs to wait for you."
Lu Qing nodded: "Alright then!"
After Gu Xicheng helped Wang Yanjun leave, Qin Yuebai finally spoke and gave Lu Qing the answer she had been wanting.
