Sensational! Fake Noble VS Real Genius

Chapter 1845: Xu Changqing

Upon hearing Gu Zhiqi’s words, Xu Changqing seemed a bit displeased, but Ling Zhiyu nodded.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing had no objection and nodded at Gu Zhiqi.

Gu Zhiqi then looked at Xu Changqing and asked, "May I ask you a few questions?"

Xu Changqing didn’t move.

Ling Zhiyu saw this and tugged at his sleeve.

Only then did Xu Changqing nod at Gu Zhiqi.

Gu Zhiqi: "How did you end up here?"

Xu Changqing’s eyes showed a hint of bewilderment as he shook his head at Gu Zhiqi, "I just found my way here gradually, and it’s the most comfortable place to stay, so I decided to remain."

The Yin Sha energy by the lakeside was very heavy; Xu Changqing, being a lost soul, naturally felt the place was most comfortable.

Gu Zhiqi continued to ask, "How long have you been here?"

Xu Changqing: "About seven months."

Seven months ago was when the Ancient Martial Arts competition started last year.

When she and Tang Yichen came here, they saw no lost souls, nor any Yin Sha energy. Clearly, this formation must have been set after she and Tang Yichen left.

Gu Zhiqi: "Where were you before you came here?"

Xu Changqing: "I can’t recall previous memories. When I first had memories, I was in a forest."

"After traveling for several days, I arrived here and have stayed ever since."

Standing aside, Ling Zhiyu said to Gu Zhiqi, "He died about three years ago, and all his memories before death and for more than two years after death are gone."

"Master Gu, is there a way to help him recover?"

Ling Zhiyu knew Gu Zhiqi was a Mystic Master, and Xu Changqing was a lost soul, maybe she had a way to restore his memory.

If Xu Changqing’s memory could be restored, she wanted to know who was responsible for his death.

Gu Zhiqi listened to Ling Zhiyu’s words, pondered for two seconds, then said, "Do you know how he died?"

Ling Zhiyu hesitated, then shook her head at Gu Zhiqi, "His father said he committed suicide by poison, but I know he wouldn’t have killed himself."

Xu Changqing was the only son of the Great Elder of the Immortal Medical Alliance, with considerable talent in medical and poison arts.

Xu Changqing was more inclined towards poison arts, but the Great Elder didn’t agree with him studying poison arts and forced him to be a medicinal cultivator.

Xu Changqing could only secretly learn poison arts.

Ling Zhiyu and Xu Changqing met when he was secretly studying poison arts.

Their acquaintance blossomed into love.

When Ling Zhiyu turned eighteen, the two of them got together.

Shortly after they started dating, the Great Elder found out about their relationship and discovered Xu Changqing was secretly learning poison arts.

The Great Elder forbade Xu Changqing from studying poison arts and being with Ling Zhiyu, believing Ling Zhiyu had misled Xu Changqing and it was she who taught him poison arts.

Xu Changqing refused to give up studying poison arts and refused to break up with Ling Zhiyu, so the Great Elder confined him.

Soon after, the Great Elder forcibly arranged a marriage for Xu Changqing.

Two days after the engagement, Xu Changqing died.

Poison killed him. The Great Elder said it was suicide, but Ling Zhiyu didn’t believe it; she couldn’t believe he would take his own life.

They had vowed to spend their future together.

He wouldn’t commit suicide; he must have been murdered.

Even if he really did commit suicide, why leave no last words, no suicide note at all?

Gu Zhiqi: "He carries resentment, likely a wrongful death, and has a firm intention. Discover the cause of his death and fulfill his intention, and his memory can be restored."

After hearing Gu Zhiqi’s words, Ling Zhiyu fell silent.
