Chapter 1742: “Trap or Coincidence (1)”


    After Zi Jin left, Gu Ying sat in his room and pondered over and over again about the authenticity of the information he had just heard.


    No matter which way he looked at it, it was definitely a trap that Jun Wu had set up.


    Gu Ying propped up his chin on one hand as he sat at the table, his eyes narrowed.


    He could still remember, the move that Jun Wu had yed back in the Zephyr Academy, where it had been executed so wlessly. But today, this plot he heard about here was so filled with holes.


    A trap?


    But if it was a trap, why would Zi Jine tell him about the entire matter even at the cost of exposing herself? And when she had even revealed Jun Wu’s identity right before his eyes? If that was to be used as bait, wouldn’t that be too risky a bet?


    Gu Ying thought deeply about it for a long while before he stood up and walked out from his room, to make his way towards Gu Xin Yan’s room.


    Whether this plot could seed, would all depend on Gu Xin Yan. He would really like to see, what kind of a n Jun Wu could have devised to perfectly execute this n that was so full of holes. And if it was a trap..... With the yarn Jun Wu had thrown out as bait, he would definitely not allow him to dodge away so easily.


    The debt owed back at the Zephyr Academy, had not been ounted for yet!


    The ce that Gu Xin Yan was staying at, was also where the girls from the other pces were staying. When Gu Ying’s handsome countenance appeared there, it had naturally drawn quite a number of the girls to freeze in their tracks.


    Although they did not belong to the same pce, but that did not stop the hearts of the young girls to secretly wish. Back when they had juste to the Pure Grace Pce, many of them had already noticed this Young Lord from the Blood Fiend Pce. It had naturally been great that they were able to be epted as disciples of the various pces, but if they could manage totch onto the Young Lord of the Blood Fiend Pce, then they would immediately soar to the top branches to turn into a phoenix. No one would be willing to miss such an opportunity.


    Gu Ying threaded his way through under the admiring gazes of the crowd, toe before Gu Xin Yan’s door. He then raised up a hand, and knocked upon the room door.


    It was silent inside the room. Gu Ying saw that no one was opening the door after waiting for a rather long while and he proceeded to knock upon the door once again.


    The only response he got was only quiet silence.


    “You..... You are here to look for Gu Xin Yan?” A youngdy staying next door to Gu Xin Yan said, her eyes blinking as she looked at Gu Ying.


    Gu Ying nodded slightly.


    The young girl raised a hand, and pointed outside.


    “Just awhile ago, I saw Gu Xin Yan leaving from here with Zhuge Yin from the Dragon yers Pce.”


    “.....” Gu Ying’s eyes widened slightly.


    [Gu Xin Yan left with Zhuge Yin?]


    [How was that possible?]


    If this was any other time, Gu Ying might not have felt that there was anything wrong. But the timing could not have been any more coincidental than this. Zi Jin had just gone to tell him of Jun Wu’s plot and when he came to find Gu Xin Yan.....


    [Gu Xin Yan had really gone out together with Zhuge Yin!]


    The part that Gu Ying had determined to be thergest loophole in the entire plot, had just truly happened!


    In that instant, Gu Ying’s mind was slightly fell into shock.


    [Zhuge Yin had really gotten Gu Xin Yan to go with him? Just how had he managed to do that? Could it be..... that Jun Wu really possessed such a drug, that not only could make one lose his senses, but could even make a person follow his orders?]


    The disbelief in his heart started to melt away bit by bit at that moment. Gu Ying’s brows furrowed up slightly together as he immediately turned his head and went walking outside.


    In the garden, Gu Ying tried to locate for signs of Gu Xin Yan and Zhuge Yin, as it was afterall not Zhuge Yin’s first timeing to seek Gu Xin Yan out, but just that every single time before this, he had artfully sent him away.


    [Is it just a coincidence, or is it a ploy?]


    Gu Ying’s eyes narrowed.


    After searching through the garden for a rather long time, Gu Ying had not been able to find any sign of Gu Xin Yan at all. An ominous premonition then suddenly rose up within his heart.
