Chapter 87: The Trajectory of a Gu Master_1
Early the next morning.
Yin Tian groggily woke up.
Before opening his eyes, Yin Tian felt a numbness in his left arm as if something heavy was pressing down on it.
At the same time, a persistent fragrance was invading his nostrils.
"Hmm?"
Murmuring, Yin Tian finally slowly opened his eyes and turned to look.
That single turn nearly scared Yin Tian witless.
He saw himself lying on the bed with his upper body bare, and in his left arm, he was embracing a fair, delicate body.
The person in his arms...
Who else could it be if not Su Qinwei?
This...
What on earth was going on!
Countless question marks appeared in Yin Tian's mind at this moment.
Yesterday...
What had happened yesterday?
Yin Tian lay on the bed, listening to the even breathing of the girl beside him, and carefully recalled the events.
That's right!
Memories of last night flooded into Yin Tian's mind like a tide.
Due to the leakage of Vital Energy from his body, he had fallen into unconsciousness yesterday.
Before he fainted, he distinctly remembered that the speed at which the Vital Energy leaked decreased somewhat when he grabbed Su Qinwei's hand, and he even received some replenishment.
He hadn't had the chance to verify this properly before passing out.
But how did he end up on Su Qinwei's bed after he fainted?
And why was he lying with Su Qinwei in such an intimate position?
Could it be...
Was it Su Qinwei who had brought him to bed?
With this thought, a tender expression formed on Yin Tian's face.
A gentle smile graced his lips as he looked at the girl still asleep in his arms, ultimately, decided not to move carelessly, wanting to let Su Qinwei have a good sleep.
He could clearly feel that though the Vital Energy in his body was still deficient, it had been substantially replenished.
Even when he was in the mountains, he had never experienced this phenomenon!
Almost an hour passed by, and Su Qinwei's closed eyelids twitched, as she finally slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Yin Tian, who had already awakened and was looking at her with a smile.
Their eyes met for three seconds.
Su Qinwei's gaze went from blank to puzzled, and then turned into shock.
"Ah..."
Just as Su Qinwei opened her mouth, Yin Tian covered it with his hand.
"Don't yell," said Yin Tian, his face wearing a teasing smile, "It's clear that you took advantage of me, but I didn't yell, so what are you yelling for?"
Su Qinwei was startled, then noticed that her sleeping position was entwining Yin Tian tightly, like an octopus.
Her face instantly turned red, "That's because... because..."
Su Qinwei started speaking incoherently, unsure of how to explain herself.
In the end, she just pushed at Yin Tian, "You... you get off quickly... put your clothes on!"
Watching Su Qinwei's adorable manner, Yin Tian grinned and got out of bed, pulling on the clothes that had been carelessly tossed onto the floor by Su Qinwei the day before.
Upon seeing Yin Tian fully dressed, Su Qinwei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She gave Yin Tian a glare, then hid under the covers, rustling as she dressed.
After a while, Su Qinwei emerged from under the covers, her hair still drenched, but her eyes still held a trace of displeasure towards Yin Tian.
"You must not speak of this to anyone!"
She shook her little fist at Yin Tian.
Seeing Su Qinwei's fierce appearance, the smile on Yin Tian's face became even broader, "Alright, go freshen up."
Hearing that, Su Qinwei dashed into the bathroom as if running for her life, seemingly not planning to come out until she had calmed down.
The smile on Yin Tian's face slowly faded away.
He took out his phone and dialed Lord Long's number.
"Little Divine Doctor, why are you calling me so early today?"
Lord Long's cheerful voice came through.
Without the desire to engage in small talk, Yin Tian got straight to the point, "Lord Long, I need your help to investigate someone."
Lord Long evidently sensed the gravity in Yin Tian's voice.
"Who is it? Send me the details."
"No details available, I don't know his name, and I haven't seen his face clearly. All the information has to be acquired through surveillance footage you investigate."
There was a pause on the other end of the phone.
After a moment, Lord Long continued, "Alright, do you have the surveillance video?"
"I don't, it's in the villa complex where the Xue Family lives. The surveillance there should have captured that person's face."
"Got it,"
Lord Long agreed without hesitation, "By tonight at the latest, I'll get you the information on that person."
"Thanks, I appreciate it,"
Yin Tian said, thanking Lord Long before he hung up the phone.
He was aware of the difficulty of the task.
In the whole of Su Hang, probably only Lord Long could accomplish this, with no second person in mind!
After some time, Su Qinwei, with her wet hair, came out of the bathroom.
She looked at Yin Tian holding his phone, lost in thought, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"I was just asking Lord Long to help me track down that Gu Master."
Yin Tian did not keep Su Qinwei in the dark, calmly explaining, "I thought about it and decided we should deal with that guy as soon as possible."
"If we let him keep roaming free, he will ultimately become a ticking time bomb."
