Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 1214: Fated Match

"How did it come to this..." Xun Tianhai gritted his teeth fiercely, clenching his fists as his temple pulsed irritably. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Jiangli looked at Ya Xingbo and asked, "Did Gu Hai ever separate from you guys? Did he go off on his own, go to the bathroom? Do anything special that none of you did?"

Ya Xingbo was Xun Tianhai’s subordinate, and he had heard Xun Tianhai mention Jiangli quite a few times, so he was somewhat polite to her.

Although puzzled by Jiangli’s question, he began to answer.

"He and Xie Yulan have been together all the time, I don’t think he acted alone. He went to the bathroom during the day, but I didn’t hear about it at night. After we left the cafeteria, we stayed together looking for clues in the building but found nothing, so we returned to the office to rest."

Jiangli asked again, "Did he do anything before going to sleep?"

Ya Xingbo recalled, "No, he just drank some water?"

Upon hearing this, Jiangli looked at Xun Tianhai, "Did you drink water before going to sleep?"

Xun Tianhai shook his head, "No..."

After leaving the cafeteria, he hadn’t drunk any water.

Xun Tianhai was never much of a water drinker, and others had even teased him about it before, saying he was a dry duck that could survive without water.

Jiangli furrowed her brows, pondered for a moment, and asked Ya Xingbo again, "You just said he and Xie Yulan were together the whole time?"

Ya Xingbo nodded, "Yeah, the two of them are a couple."

Jiangli raised an eyebrow, "A couple?"

Ya Xingbo: "Yeah, everyone who knows them knows that..."

Jiangli paused for a second, looked at Xun Tianhai, then glanced over at Meng Hongyao, and suddenly asked, "Does Director Xun like Miss Meng?"

Xun Tianhai: "..."

Meng Hongyao: "..."

Xun Tianhai’s expression immediately turned a bit unnatural. Seeing Meng Hongyao looking his way, he hurriedly averted his gaze, gave a low cough, and murmured ambiguously, "Why did the Abbot suddenly say that?"

Jiangli replied, "Gu Hai wanted to kill Xie Yulan, you want to kill Meng Hongyao, both targeted at girls. Gu Hai had emotional entanglements, so I guessed based on that."

Saying this, she scanned the faces of Xun Tianhai and Meng Hongyao.

"Oh right, you two actually have a fated relationship, don’t you have any emotional entanglements?"

Meng Hongyao: "???"

Xun Tianhai: "!!!"

Seeing the two of them frozen, Jiangli raised an eyebrow, "You... haven’t started dating yet?"

Meng Hongyao didn’t know how to respond to Jiangli.

Seeing this, Jiangli let out a sound, "Looks like I hit the mark, but... you two haven’t started dating yet; the progress is way too slow."

Meng Hongyao: "..."

"Master, you don’t have to say anything more."

But Jiangli added another line, "Since it’s a fated relationship, why haven’t you started dating yet?"

Meng Hongyao: "..."

Her mind was now seemingly muddled.

Meng Hongyao and Xun Tianhai always got along... quite well.

She was aware that Xun Tianhai had some feelings for her.

However, she hadn’t confronted it.

Because... she was kind of at a loss on how to handle these feelings, opting to deal with them coolly.

Who knew Jiangli would expose it all of a sudden?

And a fated relationship at that...

She did believe that Jiangli wouldn’t speak recklessly.

But still...

The fated relationship came too suddenly.

Meng Hongyao looked at the evasive Xun Tianhai, feeling that if Jiangli kept talking, she might really fall for Xun Tianhai.

She immediately changed the subject, saying, "Um, Abbot, doesn’t this conclusion seem a bit off? Think about it, Ke Yizhou and Zhou Yang have a very straightforward relationship, there’s no way they could be lovers, right?"
