Chapter 216: Chapter 216 The Strange Points of This World

After a moment of silence, Su Yunling reached into her pocket for her phone while saying to Gu Zhiqi, "Can we make a deal?"

Gu Zhiqi raised an eyebrow.

"How about we change how I address you?" Su Yunling said in a good-natured tone, suggesting to Gu Zhiqi.

Gu Zhiqi didn’t respond but shoved the phone back into her pocket and looked into the distance, "What are you going to do with the control over Green Crystal Grass?"

Seeing the child’s manner, Su Yunling understood that she had no intention of changing the form of address.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she decided not to fuss over the form of address any longer. She looked at Gu Zhiqi and replied, "My subordinates are suddenly dispersing their Vital Energy outward, a precursor to a Vital Energy burst. We don’t have enough Green Crystal Grass with us, so, we’d like you to help accelerate its growth."

When it came to Vital Energy bursting, Gu Zhiqi remembered the oddities of this world. Turning her gaze to Su Yunling, she asked, "Are you a minor in Ancient Martial Arts?"

On hearing this, Su Yunling raised an eyebrow, "Sort of."

Gu Zhiqi: ?

Sort of?

Noticing Gu Zhiqi’s puzzlement, Su Yunling continued, "I minor in quite a few things, and Ancient Martial Arts is just one of them."

Gu Zhiqi nodded in understanding upon hearing this.

Like her, she was primarily focused on Mysticism, with Ancient Martial Arts being just one of her minors.

Curious about what Su Yunling’s main focus was, Gu Zhiqi was about to ask when a crisp voice reached her ears.

"Master, the Green Crystal Grass."

It was Yun Xin holding the Green Crystal Grass.

Seeing Su Yunling looking in his direction, Yun Xin handed over the Green Crystal Grass he’d brought.

Su Yunling reached out to take the Green Crystal Grass and then glanced sideways at Gu Zhiqi, "Kid, can you lend a hand?"

Gu Zhiqi didn’t immediately agree but lazily half-closed her eyes and looked at Su Yunling with a leisurely smile, "Can I first take a look at those people’s condition?"

Su Yunling nodded gently.

After nodding, Su Yunling gave Yun Xin a look, "Arrange for Brother An and Miss Gu’s friend to rest a bit, wait until the fourth one has finished."

"Understood." After responding to Su Yunling’s words, Yun Xin walked with long strides towards Tang Shuan and Shen Tong.

Su Yunling took Gu Zhiqi to find her subordinates, and Gu Zhiqi chose a few people to take their pulse.

"Vital Energy burst caused by Fiery Flame Grass, they must have inhaled its powder," Gu Zhiqi said after taking their pulse, looking at Su Yunling.

However, despite the small amount inhaled, it caused a serious dispersal of Vital Energy.

On Aquamarine Star, Fiery Flame Grass can indeed catalyze a Vital Energy burst in ancient martial artists, but that’s under prolonged exposure or substantial inhalation.

But in this case, these people inhaled a minimal amount, which shouldn’t have led to Vital Energy dispersal.

However, they were already experiencing a dispersal of Vital Energy, so even a small amount of Fiery Flame Grass powder could trigger a Vital Energy burst in them.

On hearing this, Su Yunling’s eyes narrowed slightly, "I suppose it was Angel’s people who feared an ambush by an ancient martial artist and prepared the Fiery Flame Grass powder in advance."

In battle, Angel’s people clearly didn’t anticipate an attack tonight, so they must have prepared early, just in case.

"Angel?" Gu Zhiqi murmured quietly upon hearing this unfamiliar term.

Seeing the slight confusion in Gu Zhiqi’s voice and the puzzled look in her eyes, Su Yunling raised an eyebrow slightly, "You don’t know about Angel?"

Gu Zhiqi shook her head.

It sounded like a person’s name, probably someone in a leadership role at Luya Base.

After the mission was triggered, Gu Zhiqi had hacked into Luya Base’s internal system, inspecting the layout and the personal files of the staff, estimating its overall strength.

However, when she checked the staff strength files, she did not see anyone named Angel among the top-ranked personnel.
