Chapter 579: Chapter 579: The Origin of Evil Jade

In the afternoon, Su Yunling really did start cooking, and Gu Zhiqi got to taste the meal made by her very own hands.

What Tang Yichen said wasn’t an exaggeration at all—Su Yunling’s cooking skills were indeed superb, even surpassing that of Shadow Pavilion’s chief chef by quite a bit.

Gu Zhiqi thoroughly enjoyed the meal, but afterwards, she felt somewhat regretful.

Having finished this meal, from now on, whenever she would eat a meal prepared by someone whose culinary skills couldn’t compare to Su Yunling’s, she was afraid she would involuntarily make comparisons with today’s meal.

Tang Yichen appeared on time for the meal, and after eating, Su Yunling and Tang Yichen went off to have a video meeting, while Gu Zhiqi returned to her room.

After Su Yunling and Tang Yichen finished their meeting, it was already 9:30 p.m

Carrying a cup of milk, Su Yunling stood outside Gu Zhiqi’s room, knocking for a long time, but no one came to open the door.

"Asleep so early?" Su Yunling muttered softly, then carried the cup downstairs.

The person Su Yunling thought was asleep wasn’t in the room at all.

Standing outside an apartment near Yan City University was a girl dressed in black clothes and pants, wearing a black duck-billed hat, and adorned with a black face mask.

The girl stood at the entrance of the apartment, glanced at the apartment number to confirm it, then raised her hand and knocked on the door.

The apartment’s soundproofing was average, so standing at the door, one could hear noises coming from the room, "Who is it?"

The person inside the room asked, but the girl at the door didn’t answer, merely looking down slightly before knocking again.

"Click"

The door opened and a woman in a knitted sweater coat stood inside, eyes questioning as she looked at the person at the door.

Seeing clearly the attire of the person at the door, the woman frowned, "You are..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw the girl lift her gaze, meeting her with a pair of deep blue eyes. The woman was startled for a moment, and then her eyes began to lose focus.

Gu Zhiqi swiftly concealed the blue color at the bottom of her eyes and sized up the woman.

The woman’s destiny carried hints of purple, already marking her as someone with a touch of fortune, but a significant portion of it didn’t belong to her.

The fleeting cold glint in Gu Zhiqi’s eyes now observed the woman before her with indifference as she spoke, "Come in."

The woman obediently followed, moving sluggishly and stiffly, allowing Gu Zhiqi to enter the apartment after the sound of Qinghan’s clear, pleasant voice.

Gu Zhiqi stepped inside, not going too far in, standing a short distance from the door with a cool look in her eyes, "Your name is Wu Minfen?"

"Yes," the woman replied in a dull, numb tone when Gu Zhiqi asked.

"Zhou Qingyan is your daughter?"

Gu Zhiqi had come out so late to investigate the origins of the Evil Jade that Zhou Qingyan had once worn.

Gu Zhiqi planned to start from Zhou Qingyan’s parents and hadn’t expected that a small lookup would lead to a suspect.

Having seen this woman, Gu Zhiqi confirmed that the Evil Jade was given to Zhou Qingyan by Wu Minfen.

Wu Minfen: "Yes."

Gu Zhiqi pressed on, "Where did you get that Jade Pendant that absorbs other people’s destiny from?"

This time, Wu Minfen didn’t respond to Gu Zhiqi immediately but instead furrowed her brows tightly, showing an evident resistance.

Seeing Wu Minfen’s frown getting deeper, Gu Zhiqi’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and once more a blue hue took over the bottom of her eyes, she looked straight at Wu Minfen, "The Jade Pendant, who gave it to you?"

As her furrowed brows gradually relaxed, Wu Minfen continued to answer Gu Zhiqi’s question with a dull expression, "It was... Brother Yang who gave it."
