Shen Qing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, "Why... why?"

Jin Yao replied, "She is far more terrifying than you realize, not someone we can afford to provoke."

"She is not from the Secular World..." Shen Qing’s words stopped halfway, suddenly changing the question, "Do you know her?"

Jin Yao said, "That’s none of your concern. In any case, don’t provoke her. Remember to remind brother as well, tell him not to provoke Gu Zhiqi. Otherwise, if you truly anger her, I won’t be able to save you."

"This..."

Shen Qing had only uttered one word before being interrupted by Jin Yao, "If I’m not mistaken, once the old master finds out Gu Zhiqi has also been accepted to the First Institute, he will want Su Yunling to marry Gu Zhiqi. You must prevent it."

Shen Qing was slightly stunned and then said, "But... wasn’t he quite satisfied with Yun Yi before?"

Jin Yao scoffed coldly, "There is already one Su Yunling who cannot be controlled. Do you think he would let an uncontrollable Yun Yi join the Su Family again?"

Shen Qing replied, "But before..."

Jin Yao interrupted, "Enough, it’s better not to overthink these matters. Just make sure to stop the marriage arrangement between Gu Zhiqi and Su Yunling." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Shen Qing found it quite baffling but eventually agreed.

Just as she agreed, she heard footsteps outside the door, "It seems he’s back, I’ll talk to you later, bye."

Before Jin Yao could say anything, Shen Qing immediately hung up the call.

As soon as the call disconnected, Su Rongsheng appeared at the door of Shen Qing’s room, "Who were you on the phone with?"

Shen Qing maintained a gentle and harmonious smile, "It was Jin Yao, but she’s asleep now."

Su Rongsheng nodded and then said to Shen Qing, "You should be aware of the matter with Fu Yingying, the marriage of Yiyang and Fu Yingying will be called off."

Evidently, he too was aware of the situation with Fu Yingying, and came to inform Shen Qing of his final decision.

Shen Qing remained calm and softly replied, "Alright."

On May 1st, it was the day the Fu Family and the Gu Family had agreed to have dinner together.

The agreed location was the Sea City Shadow Pavilion.

Four people attended from the Fu Family’s side, and from the Gu Family’s side, except for Gu Xingruo and Big Uncle Gu’s family of three, everyone else was present, including Old Master Gu.

In addition to the members of the two families, a Jin Family member also attended.

At first, there was a slight unfamiliarity between them, and the Gu Family even seemed to harbor some hidden hostility towards the Fu and Jin Families.

However, after a meal together, as they became slightly more acquainted with each other, any trace of hostility disappeared.

Initially, Jin Huazhu had thought that, after Gu Zhiqi graduated, she would have Gu Zhiqi move to either the Fu or Jin Family. But after witnessing how Gu Zhiqi interacted with the Gu Family...

Jin Huazhu’s idea significantly diminished.

She could see that the Gu Family genuinely cared for Gu Zhiqi, and Gu Zhiqi got along well with them.

She was uncertain whether taking Gu Zhiqi to the Fu or Jin Family would make her uncomfortable.

Thus, Jin Huazhu did not reveal her true thoughts at the dinner gathering.

The Jin and Fu Families were considered guests after coming to Sea City, and as the hosts, the Gu Family invited them to their home for fun after the meal.

Coinciding with the May Day holiday, there was no need to worry about work, so the Jin and Fu Families stayed in Sea City for two days.

During these two days with the Gu Family, Jin Huazhu began to consider giving up the idea of taking Gu Zhiqi back to the Ancient Martial Arts World.

However, she still found an opportunity to ask Gu Zhiqi about her wish.

Not only Jin Huazhu, but Yu Shuling also sought a conversation with Gu Zhiqi.
