Chapter 517: Chapter 517: Huo Shiqian is also here?

“I’ve given you the Linglong Embroidery Needle Set,” Mrs. Gu said. “This is a token of the Gu Family. If one day you see the same embroidery needle, remember to recognize each other.”

“That person should be a descendant of the Gu Family.”

Having said this, Mrs. Gu gazed into the distance and said no more.

Although Mrs. Gu did not explain clearly, Xia Chuyi gleaned quite a bit of information from her words.

The Linglong Embroidery Needle Set must be something only the Gu Family possesses.

So, it was highly likely that her Master knew Mrs. Gu, or even that they were relatives.

But her Master’s surname is not Gu!

Was she hiding her real name?

Xia Chuyi could not find the answer in a moment.

Anyway, once she got to G City, the truth would come out.

With Professor Bao intervening, the school indeed granted Xia Chuyi leave.

However, by not participating in the mid-term assessment, her regular scores would definitely take a hit. Thus, the counselor told her that she could not afford any mistakes in her final exams, or she might fail the course.

Xia Chuyi nodded in understanding.

Having the “space” in hand, she wasn’t afraid of exams; at most, she would just spend more time in the “space” to revise.

Once everything was settled, Xia Chuyi began making preparations for her trip to G City.

Her classmates from room 201 found it hard to understand why Xia Chuyi would miss the final assessments.

“Chuyi, honestly, are you secretly going to see your Huo Shiqian?” Jiang Shuqin suddenly pulled her aside and whispered.

Xia Chuyi was speechless and shook her head, replying to Jiang Shuqin, “What are you thinking?”

“I’m going to G City to find someone.”

Taking leave to meet someone? She really couldn’t do that.

If she hadn’t been worried about her Master and her Master’s current living situation, she wouldn’t have suddenly taken leave during the mid-terms.

However, upon hearing her words, Jiang Shuqin’s eyes sparkled even more as she asked, “Going to G City to find someone?”

“Chuyi, stop teasing me! There’s a military skills invitation tournament being held there now!”

“Tell me, did your Huo Shiqian take people there?”

Stunned by Jiang Shuqin’s words, Xia Chuyi exclaimed in surprise, “What? A military skills invitation tournament?”

What a coincidence!

Seeing her reaction, Jiang Shuqin was also surprised and asked, “You really didn’t know?”

Xia Chuyi shook her head.

She genuinely didn’t know.

Jiang Shuqin blinked, pondered for a moment, and said, “Maybe Huo Shiqian didn’t lead the team? So he didn’t tell you?”

“After all, if he was leading, his subordinates would usually be in first place.”

Xia Chuyi nodded and replied, “Maybe.”

While she said that, her mind turned to someone else–Guo Jiacheng.

This “War Demon” was always eager to compete with Huo Shiqian.

If the invitation tournament was held on his turf, Xia Chuyi thought, whether by hook or by crook, he would definitely try to get Huo Shiqian over there.

Thinking this, Xia Chuyi slightly narrowed her eyes, the matter of her Master and Master’s wife…

While she didn’t doubt the veracity, Guo Jiacheng might have known about it but chose this moment to speak.

Xia Chuyi thought to herself: It’s quite possible.

If Guo Jiacheng had informed Huo Shiqian about her trip to G City.

She felt that Uncle Liberation Army would most likely… agree to lead the team to G City.

Xia Chuyi shook her head. This Guo Jiacheng, why did it always seem like he was a decent person, only to turn around and find he was scheming against Huo Shiqian?

But not against her, against her Uncle Liberation Army.

Ha.
