Chapter 246: She Blocked
No one here knew more about formations than San Tong, and it was why he was also the most aware of how terrifying Gu Xiqiao was.
A formation left behind by an ancient warrior, and she was able to ‘patch it up’? Was that even possible?! San Tong looked back to find that the formation had once again disappeared into thin air, and he shook his head, wiping the expression of his face. He sent a ssage to Yi Bing—[Yi Bing, I don’t want to live anymore!]
Cecily also wiped the expression of her face, and she walked to Gu Xiqiao’s side, her blue eyes full of wonder. “This miss, are you from the Baili family? I’ve long heard of how their skills in formations are top notch and incomparable, and it looks like it’s true.”
“I’m not.” Gu Xiqiao shook her head. “But I’m acquainted with Big Brother Baili.”
“No wonder.” Cecily smiled brightly, and she stretched her hand out to Gu Xiqiao. “Nice to et you, my na is Cecily. I’m from Arica’s supernatural world.”
“Gu Xiqiao.” Gu Xiqiao stretched out her left hand. “Nice to et you.”
“Which floor have you reached in the Trial Tower, Miss Gu?” Cecily asked suddenly. “I heard that that little demon girl, Jiang Tong, has already reached the 62nd floor. You shouldn’t be that far off from her, right?”
Gu Xiqiao smiled faintly. “I’m not from the ancient martial arts world. I only did so research on formations.”
Cecily’s eyes widened comically. “Not from the ancient martial arts world?” The scene of Gu Xiqiao using her bare hands to close the spatial crack flashed through her mind again as she said this.
Excuse ?
Gu Xiqiao was calm as she continued, “I was the one who patched up the formation just now, Miss Cecily. That’s the reason I was able to easily control it.”
Hearing the explanation, Cecily nodded her head in stunned shock. “Ah, I see.”
San Tong watched as Gu Xiqiao lied through her teeth with a straight face, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He sympathized with Cecily. Gu Xiqiao was never one to pull punches when it ca to cheating. She had a pure and serious appearance, one that made it hard for people to doubt her words.
“Thank you again, Mr. Ying.” Cecily turned to him. “I didn’t expect a regular person like yourself to be able to see through the formation. As expected, China sure is full of talented people.”
Ying Xu glanced at Gu Xiqiao, who was still standing behind, and he smiled. “I also know Baili.”
Cecily: “...”
“Where do you live, Miss Gu?” Yi Tong was tinkering with his compass again. “We’re going to be here a while, is there a bigger place to live in?”
“How long will you be staying?” Gu Xiqiao asked.
Yi Tong thought about it for a few seconds, and replied, “Not more than a week.”
Gu Xiqiao blinked, and thought a while. “It’s about there then. Jiji, bring Mr. Yi Tong to et Manager Liu.”
It’s about there? What’s about there? Yi Tong was confused, and then he was startled out of it by the sound of a chanical voice.
“Alright, Beauty Gu.” A robot appeared in front of them suddenly. “Please co this way.”
“A robot?” The flat headed youth beside Ying Xu jumped in surprised.
There was a complicated look on Yi Tong’s face as he followed behind the robot, why did Miss Gu have so many weird things at her side?
Cecily just looked at Gu Xiqiao’s figure thoughtfully, she could feel the respect that Yi Tong and the rest gave Gu Xiqiao. It seed that they... really listened to her every word?
It could be her overthinking it, right? Yi Tong and the rest only listened to Jiang Shuxuan’s orders after all.
Cecily’s brows furrowed slightly, but she was quickly pulled out of her thoughts by the scenery around her.
Jiji was taking the lead, and it suddenly seed like it rembered sothing. It opened the steel lid on its chest, taking out a small white bottle and throwing it to Ying Xu. “Beauty Gu asked to give this to you as the wound on your hand is deep. If you treat it now, it will affect the mobility of your hand.”
“Thank you.” Ying Xu took a while to react as he glanced at his wrist that had been hastily bandaged.
He never imagined that Gu Xiqiao would pay much concern to his hand.
Hearing Jiji’s words, Yi Tong also looked at Ying Xu’s hand. “Young Master Ying, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Ying Xu grasped the bottle in his hand, lowering his head.
“With Miss Gu around, everything will be fine!” One of Ying Xu’s subordinates said. They had all seen Gu Xiqiao’s superb dical skills before.
Yi Tong: ... you guys really believe that scam?
Everyone followed Jiji to the village, and they were surprised as they walked. The roads in the village were well developed, with cars coming and going. Every house in the village were three-story bungalows, and the nearby mountains had been designed to be tourist spots.
How could this be a remote village, it was clearly even fancier than those cities!

In Manager Liu’s office, Jiji knocked on the door before going in. “Manager Liu, these people need a place to stay.”
“Hello, please co in.” Manager Liu put down the papers in hand, and then took a stack of docunts, handing them to Jiji. “Master Jiji, these are the company’s previous quarter earnings. Miss Gu didn’t manage to finish reading them.”
“Alright, I understand.” Jiji took the docunts, and turned around to leave, but Manager Liu called it.
Manager Liu adjusted his glasses. “Master Jiji, Mr. Yu Ning called just now. He asked for Miss Gu to remove him from her blacklist, he has important things to tell her.”
Jiji: “... I’ll try.”
Hearing the conversation between man and robot, the corner of the mouth of the people present couldn’t help but twitch slightly. Yi Tong took the initiative to strike up the conversation again, “Manager Liu, what is your relationship with Miss Gu?”
“Boss-subordinate.” Manager Liu said, smiling brightly.
As expected! Yi Tong face pald internally, he knew it!
Cecily was also shocked. “I didn’t expect such a young person like Miss Gu to have such a big company.” But she was only shocked for a while. It was just a business in the regular world after all, she wasn’t interested in it at all.
Yi Tong glanced at her, silently thinking in his heart, ‘This doesn’t even count as anything. If you knew that the entire Nine Heavens belong to her, you’d go nuts!’
It wasn’t peak season for tourists, but there were still a lot of people who ca here for their vacations. There were also a lot of foreigners who ca here especially for the place.
Ying Xu stood in front of the entrance, looking at the bold, striking characters above it “Shan Sui Xiao Zhu”.
The strokes were sharp, and the words were slightly slanted. It reminded him of a dragon flying into the sky, coming from nothingness and returning to the void. Under the noon sun, it was brilliantly radiant.
“This was written by Miss Gu the day before yesterday,” Manager Liu explained when he saw Ying Xu looking up. “She said that the company na doesn’t match our temperant here, and so she wrote these words. I imdiately got soone to make it into a plate and hang it up yesterday.”
Ying Xu stared at it for a long ti, before finally saying, “Good words.”
“That it is, and the calligraphy is well written.” Cecily didn’t understand the Chinese characters, but she could feel the confidence and willfulness radiating from the words.
The group of people followed Manager Liu all the way inside. Ying Xu looked at the wound on his wrist that had begun to scab over. He didn’t remove the bandage, but followed after the others after looking at it for a while.

At this ti, Gu Xiqiao was sitting with Shi Tou at the side of the river, fishing.
Baixing Village has turned completely into a large scale tourist fishing village. There were a lot of people fishing by the riverside, and Gu Xiqiao was even earnestly wearing a fishing hat on her head.
Shi Tou held the ga console that Gu Xiqiao had gotten for him out to her. “Sister Little Gu, I can’t pass this stage.”
Gu Xiqiao was leaning back on the chair, and she didn’t raise her head at his words. “Ask Jiji to teach you.”
“But Jiji isn’t here.” As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Jiji suddenly popped out of nowhere.
“Beauty Qiao, Yu Ning is looking for you.” Jiji took the ga console from Shi Tou’s hands, and passed the level with the speed of a robot. Shi Tou’s eyes lit up with worship and admiration at that. “Zhu Yuan is also looking for you. Professor Jiang even gave Master Jiang a call.”
Gu Xiqiao: “...” Why did he call Brother Jiang? And then she realized that in the column of the form for ‘parents’, she had filled in Jiang Shuxuan’s na. 囧
Jiji glanced at her. “Give Zhu Yuan a call if you’re free, he’s going crazy.”
“I hold long grudges.” Gu Xiqiao said, straightening up.
Jiji: “...” Zhu Yuan, I tried! Can’t help you anymore!
Gu Xiqiao relaxed in Baixing Village, completely ignoring the happenings of the outside world, which was blowing up.

The international dical exchange that was held once every five years had begun, and people from the international dical organizations would take out their best research to participate in this eting. This is an opportunity to learn and experience, and it was also an opportunity for the countries to showcase their dical skills. It was also a ti where people took the chance to try to be famous and well known.
For example, Zhu Yuan. He beca well known when he was in his junior year five years ago.
The recent dical breakthrough by China was too big, especially since they had also a new lab done for this, which made people of the International dical Research Association jealous. They had all thought that China would definitely send soone with talent to attend.
They didn’t expect that not a single from China was present.
“I’m sure they’re afraid after seeing how good our research and brains are,” The president of the International dical Organization said, a relaxed smile on his face. The young girl that recently appeared had backed them all into a tight corner, and they were only able to breathe easy at this mont, “We’ve got research done by dozens of the top international doctors, how can one person be compared to all of this?”
“What you said it true, president”
“After today, those that went to China’s dical labs will regret it, the technology that we have is way more advanced than theirs.” The other nodded in agreent to these words.
These people were chatting easily with each other, and not a while later, they all received a ssage.
The City Court of N City had just released an announcent, a video, as usual, together with a comntary.
The explanations in the comntary were full of jargons, and it was all in Chinese. Even Chinese people had a hard ti understanding it.
However, the cases ntioned in the video were all understood by the people in the international dical organization. It was regarding the research on humans in vegetative state, and every viewpoint was new and novel. The research on it was unprecedented in the entire dical history.
The idea was bold and forward, the explanation in writing was detailed without the slightest hint of omission of the research, as though they weren’t afraid that soone could steal the fruits of this research.
At the end of the news announcent, they said, “Miss Gu is right, dicine exists to save those who are on the verge of suffering. There are so many people in the world, and what we can do, is to research from every possible angle to help release people from the sea of suffering.”
The president of the International dical Organization looked at the research. He had initially thought that the research of him and the dozen of top international doctors that they had done with countless sleepless nights were already shocking enough, he didn’t expect that China would so easily throw out another research that would make all their own research topic look like nothing.
“This... how long has it been?” A doctor from England was also in a state of shock.
“This ti, China...”
“Why don’t these people belong to Arica?”
After the cell fusion matter, they had thought that no matter how much of a genius Gu Xiqiao was, she wouldn’t be able to create another shocking wave. Unexpectedly, the wave ca one after another.
The doctors all looked at the translation of the results of the research, all of them in various different states of shock. If it was just the cell fusion research, just one, they could have accepted it. But this had only been a few months since then, right? Also, the research that the China dical Laboratory kept pulling out was more and more impossible to comprehend. This is already beyond the entire world’s dical level, right?!
Many of the doctors were silent in the exchange eting, the main reason being that this matter had far surpassed their imagination, and was borderline horrifying in their minds. Gu Xiqiao’s performance was just too terrifying, was it even possible for a person’s intelligence to reach this stage?
Oh my god!
“President, I’ll take my leave.”
“President, I will abstain from the exchange this ti...”
The president waved his hand, letting all of them leave. He then looked at the assistant beside him, and took a deep breath before saying, “This Gu Xiqiao... the wave that Zhu Yuan had made the last ti wasn’t this shocking either, was it?” He was already at a loss for words. “Go and buy a flight ticket to China, the earlier the better.”
This was more terrifying than that d*mned Zhu Yuan.
The news announced by China spread like wildfire to every person in the dical field, and at the sa ti, countless top, well-renowned doctors were making their way to the Imperial Capital in a rush.
***
At A University, Zhu Yuan looked up blankly. “She blocked .”
“What did you do to her this ti?” Professor Jiang stomped his feet anxiously. “She even sent a text the other day, saying that she wants to change her major!”
Zhu Yuan: “...” Motherf*cker this Gu Xiqiao, throwing him into an early grave like this?!
