As soon as Gu Zhiqi spoke, not only was Su Yunling left speechless, but the people beside them also fell silent in unison.
However, her words managed to lighten the otherwise tense and grave atmosphere a little.
Hearing Gu Zhiqi's words, Fu Xiyan gave her an additional glance, curiosity coloring the depths of her eyes.
It was indeed the first time he had seen a girl dare to speak to Su Yunling like this.
"Tsk—"
"She's just pandering to the crowd."
A scoff rang out in the hallway, shattering the brief quiet.
Xiao Yixue's face was full of disdain as she strode over to Gu Zhiqi, looking down on her with extreme contempt, "You? You think you can save Fourth Master?"
Waiting for Su Yunling to call her grandfather, Gu Zhiqi received instead Xiao Yixue's scorn. She tilted her head slightly and glanced at Xiao Yixue indifferently, "Do you have a problem?"
"Even I can't save Fourth Master. What makes you think you can?" Xiao Yixue said, full of disdain.
