Chapter 60: A rare waste physique
When he entered the tent, just as Chu Yi had expected, Ye Caiying and Duan Shi were both there, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a while.
Seeing these two old acquaintances, Chu Yi used up all his life's acting skills to pretend to be excited and reserved. He looked hesitantly at them and then at Gu Jiayan, perfectly portraying the look of a family member who cut in line and took the back door to meet a big leader.
She didn't dare to meet Ye Caiying and Duan Shi's eyes. She quickly looked away as soon as there was any contact, for fear that she would reveal a flaw if she hadn't concealed it well.
Fortunately, most of their attention was focused on Gu Jiayan, and they didn't care that much about her. After taking a few glances at her, they regarded her behavior as a normal reaction of an ordinary person. In order not to bring her more pressure, the two of them even considerately shifted their attention to Gu Jiayan.
Chu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had passed the first hurdle.
This suit is the right one to wear today.
Originally, she did not have such superb acting skills. She had previously disguised herself as Qiao Ji and others with the support of the vest's consciousness coverage. Then today, she thought of appearing in her own identity. When choosing clothes, she chose a set with the background set as a female celebrity's private clothes.
This way, she can enhance her acting skills with clothes.
So far, the effect seems good.
At Ye Caiying's invitation, Chu Yi and Gu Jiayan sat down at the tea table one after another. After taking the tea handed over by the other party, the two expressed their thanks and began a formal conversation.
Ye Caiying spoke first: "Hello, Miss Chu. Are you tired from traveling all the way? Here are some snacks. Feel free to take them and have them. You're welcome."
"Oh, okay, thank you Secretary Ye." Chu Yi spoke to Ye Caiying a little nervously, and at the same time obediently reached out to pick up a piece of dessert and started eating it in small bites.
To be honest, she had been coveting these snacks for a long time, but no matter whether she was a Qiao Ji or a Long Jun, she had never had the chance to taste them. Today, she can finally fulfill her wish.
Seeing her bright eyes, Gu Jiayan, who was sitting next to her, shook his head helplessly. He said to Ye Caiying in a doting tone, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Secretary Ye."
"Hey, what's the big deal? Eat more if you like it."
Ye Caiying waved her hand indifferently, watching Chu Yi eating happily, and even pushed the dessert plate closer to her.
After a few people chatted for a while, the conversation got down to business.
Duan Shi brought a wooden box on the table to Chu Yi and said to her, "The test stone is inside. Chu Yi, just put your hand on it."
After a few minutes of communication, everyone became less polite to each other and started calling each other by their names without any honorifics like "Mr." or "Miss."
"OK."
Chu Yi took the wooden box with both hands, opened the lid, and what came into view was something that he had been extremely familiar with during this period of time. She lowered her eyelashes to hide the emotions in her eyes and prevent them from seeing her expression.
After another "contrived" performance, Chu Yi placed his left hand on the test stone.
Then, under everyone's gaze, the crystal did not change at all.
"......"
Seeing the result, Chu Yi looked up at the two "professionals" in a daze. He looked extremely nervous on the surface, but he was calm inside.
Gu Jiayan didn't understand what this meant. He stared at the crystal that didn't change at all. His eyes suddenly darkened and all kinds of thoughts ran through his mind.
I hope it's not the result he guessed...
For a smart person, Chu Yi's test results are actually very obvious, and it is like a report right in front of them. But as the brother of the person involved, he was very reluctant to accept this result.
Ye Caiying and Duan Shi could of course guess what this meant, but they couldn't say anything. After looking at each other, Ye Caiying cleared his throat and said, "Maybe there's something wrong with the test stone. I'll ask Senior Qiao Ji to take a look."
As he said this, he lowered his head and operated the bracelet for a while. After a while, he looked up and comforted Chu Yi who was looking very nervous: "It's okay, let Senior Qiao Ji take a look later. We are not professionals in this aspect of cultivation."
Chu Yi nodded hesitantly. From their attitudes, he could tell that something was not right with him. Therefore, he did not say anything in response to Ye Caiying's comfort. He just nodded with a little sadness.
Then the 'sad' Chu Yi immediately put them aside and turned to pay attention to Gu Jiayan's emotions secretly.
Given Brother Yan's consistent concern for her, he might find it more difficult to accept the fact that she might have no talent for cultivation than he himself had no talent.
Sure enough, after observing Gu Jiayan for a while, Chu Yi discovered that he was hiding his boredom very well. He actually covered it up very well, but the feelings between Chu Yi and him for so many years were not exaggerated. Others couldn't see through his mask, so why couldn't she see through it?
After discovering that Gu Jiayan was in a very bad mood, Chu Yi's mood also became worse.
She knew that this was very unfair to Brother Yan who always cared about her, but human energy was really limited and she couldn't balance the plan with her own life.
If Chu Yi wants to join the world of cultivation, then she will definitely need to maintain her "attendance rate", which will infringe on the time for using the vest. There will be countless new plans in the future, which will require countless vests to appear on stage and perform. Maybe after the plan is stable, she can let the vests act independently, but in the early stage, she has to take control of the situation herself.
Otherwise she couldn't feel at ease at all.
This conflict is simply unavoidable. She cannot take both into account and can only give up one side.
Chu Yi stared at the distracted Gu Jiayan and pursed her lips with a depressed look. She didn't know how to comfort this brother who was always worried about her. She couldn't tell him that in fact, she would always accompany him to study and make progress in the future.
Gu Jiayan, who was originally deep in thought, sensed her change of mood. He tilted his head to look at her, frowned, forced out a gentle smile, reached out and patted her head to comfort her: "Xiaoyi, you don't have to worry too much. The world of cultivation is so magical, there will always be a way."
At this time, there is no need to deceive yourself and say that the test was wrong. We are not stupid. Even if we expect a miracle to happen, we actually have our own guesses in our hearts.
Therefore, facing the frustrated Chu Yi, Gu Jiayan could only say in pale words that there would always be a way.
As for when this solution can be found, it all depends on luck.
As soon as Chu Yi heard it, she knew that Gu Jiayan had misunderstood, but she had no way to explain it. She could only respond with a forced smile under his concerned gaze.
Orange, who was accompanying her in the virtual space, couldn't bear it. It cared about both of them very much, and it was unhappy that they were so sad.
Thinking about the difficulties Chu Yi mentioned, it began to rack its brains to think whether there were any suits in the wardrobe that could solve the problem. Then, after Qiao Ji entered the tent, it suddenly had an idea and thought of a great idea.
However, since Qiao Ji had already come over to talk to them, Ju Zi temporarily endured it and planned to tell Chu Yi after returning home. Otherwise, Chu Yi, who suddenly found a solution, might reveal his flaws in excitement.
After Qiao Ji came in and listened to Ye Caiying's explanation of the situation, she frowned and looked at Chu Yi. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "I'm afraid this girl's physique is a rare spiritual body that only appears once in a thousand years."
She did not go to the trouble to explain what the absolute spirit body was. Everyone could understand the term just by hearing it. If she explained it in more detail, she would offend people.
This was the order Chu Yi had given to Qiao Ji yesterday, so today the two of them acted out the scene face to face very realistically, and no one present noticed anything unusual.
"......"
In order to express his despair, Chu Yi did not speak for a while, just looked distraught and absent-minded.
Gu Jiayan's face turned completely gloomy, and he pursed his lips and thought about things without saying a word.
Although they were surprised at the existence of this kind of physique, Ye Caiying and Duan Shi were not people who could not read the atmosphere. In this situation, there was nothing much they could say and they could only let the person involved figure it out himself.
Therefore, after Ye Caiying thanked Qiao Ji, he signaled Duan Shi to take Qiao Ji away.
There is no need for more people here now.
After the two of them left quietly, he sat down and began to sip his tea slowly, leaving space and time for the family that had suffered a fatal blow.
After glancing at the expressions of Gu Jiayan and his sister, Ye Caiying sighed inwardly. In today's society, detecting a terminal spiritual body is no different from detecting a terminal illness in the past.
But after all, they were all adults, and the emotional breakdown was only temporary. Chu Yi and Gu Jiayan both knew that this was not a place where they could vent their emotions at will. After a while, the two of them tacitly sorted out their emotions and said goodbye to the owner of the tent.
Of course Ye Caiying agreed, and even asked Gu Jiayan if he wanted to book a room for Chu Yi in the hotel where he was staying.
Gu Jiayan thanked him with a hint of gratitude. Although he was planning to decide it himself, since the people above him wanted to show him a favor, he would accept it.
Soon Ye Caiying said to Gu Jiayan, "Okay, I'll book a room next to yours for Miss Chu. She can just leave when she wants to."
Chu Yi and Gu Jiayan thanked again, then left together and drove back to the hotel.
Along the way, the atmosphere in the carriage was very heavy. Chu Yi originally wanted to say something to cheer Gu Jiayan up, but seeing his solemn expression, he did not dare to speak casually. She also knew that he wouldn't be able to be happy until he found a solution.
But Chu Yi couldn't come up with a solution for this one, and she couldn't think of a solution that would satisfy both parties.
The two of them remained silent all the way, and soon arrived at the high-end hotel where Gu Jiayan was staying.
After registering at the front desk, Gu Jiayan led Chu Yi to her room. After opening the door with the room card, he pushed the suitcase in and put it away. Then he stood at the entrance and said to her, "Xiao Yi, you are tired today. Go in and have a rest first. We will go out for dinner later."
Chu Yi knew that Gu Jiayan was considerately giving her space to vent her emotions, and also giving him time to sort out his thoughts, so she obediently agreed.
After watching him close the door, Chu Yi relaxed his body, fell into a depressed look, and threw himself onto the bed.
Although these were her own plans, when they were actually implemented, she still felt sad when she saw her family members being hurt.
Just when she was about to lose heart, Orange jumped out of the virtual space without waiting for her to call, and shouted to her excitedly: "Lingling, get up quickly, I have a solution!"
Chu Yi received the key words and instantly became alert. She quickly changed into Tianxin Fox's vest, set up a barrier in the room, and then asked repeatedly: "What is the method? Orange, tell me quickly!"
