"Where did you buy these two pots of succulents?" asked Baili Zeyang. He was on leave today, so he didn't go to his company.
"I bought them in a flower shop in the flower trading center," said Baili Zongxue.
"Is this flower shop owned by Gu Ning?" Asked Baili Zeyang, because he could only think of Gu Ning right now, because the medicines in Gu Ning's pharmaceutical company all had magical power.
"Yes," said Baili Zongxue.
"Haven't you found anything yet?" asked Baili Zeyang.
Hearing that, Baili Zongxue subconsciously felt guilty and uneasy. She couldn't figure out what Baili Zeyang meant.
Was he simply asking her whether she had found anything, or he knew that she had found something but kept it from him? Was he testing her or giving her a chance to tell him the truth?
Baili Zongxue didn't know, but she had promised Gu Ning that she wouldn't tell him, so she wouldn't tell him. "Nothing!"
Baili Zeyang, however, saw through Baili Zongxue's guilty and uneasiness, so he squinted.
He just wanted to ask Baili Zongxue whether she had found anything, but seeing Baili Zongxue's guilty and uneasiness, he knew that she must have found something, but she chose to keep it a secret.
Baili Zeyang became serious at once. "Zongxue, your reaction obviously betrayed you. Do you think I'll believe you?"
Hearing that, Baili Zongxue's heart skipped a beat. She was annoyed that she couldn't hide it. Baili Zeyang was so sensitive. Once he found out, it was impossible for him to brush it off.
Even so, Baili Zongxue still didn't tell him the truth. "It's fine if you don't believe me."
After that, Baili Zongxue turned around and went back to her room in a hurry. She was running away, which showed how guilty she was.
Since Baili Zeyang found out, she couldn't care less. Anyway, she just needed to pretend that she didn't know anything.
He didn't force Baili Zongxue to tell him the truth, because he understood that Baili Zongxue must have her own reasons for being unwilling to tell him the truth. However, because of that, he realized that Gu Ning wasn't as simple as he thought.
Baili Zongxue didn't feel relieved until she was back in her room, but it was only temporary. She didn't know how to deal with it if her older brother questioned her.
After that, Baili Zongxue sent Gu Ning a WeChat message and told her about it.
Gu Ning didn't expect to keep it a secret for too long, so she didn't mind Baili Zeyang knowing it.
Moreover, she had already told others that she and Shangguan Yang knew each other. It was just that they didn't know that she was Shangguan Yang's disciple, Qing He.
Gu Ning trusted Baili Zeyang's character, so it didn't matter if he knew that she was Qing He.
If he knew her real identity, he wouldn't keep an eye on her.
Therefore, Gu Ning told Baili Zongxue that she couldn't keep it a secret anymore, but she hoped that he wouldn't tell more people about it. It wasn't good for too many people to know about it.
In fact, Baili Zongxue felt uncomfortable these days, especially when she faced Baili Zeyang. She felt guilty and uneasy. She clearly knew about Gu Ning's secret, but she couldn't tell Baili Zeyang about it because she promised Gu Ning.
Therefore, seeing Gu Ning's reply now, Baili Zongxue was relieved and agreed with Gu Ning.
After hanging up the call with Gu Ning, Baili Zongxue couldn't wait to walk out of her room to talk about Gu Ning with Baili Zeyang.
Baili Zeyang was still drinking tea and playing on his phone in the living room.
Seeing Baili Zongxue walking out, Baili Zeyang only gave her a glance before he continued to play on his phone. He pretended that nothing had happened just now. Baili Zeyang didn't mention it at all, because he didn't want Baili Zongxue to feel embarrassed.
"Zeyang, I have something to tell you," said Baili Zongxue.
"What is it? Go ahead, "said Baili Zeyang. Because Baili Zongxue was so determined not to tell Gu Ning's secret, Baili Zeyang didn't think that Baili Zongxue was going to tell him about Gu Ning's secret.
"It's about Gu Ning, but you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone else about it," said Baili Zongxue. She knew her older brother very well, so she wasn't afraid that he would tell others about it as long as he agreed.
Hearing that, Baili Zeyang immediately put on a serious face. "Sure, I promise."
"In fact, Gu Ning is Shangguan Yang's female apprentice, Qing He," said Baili Zongxue.
"What?"
Hearing that, Baili Zeyang abruptly stood up in shock. The news was too shocking for him, and he couldn't stay calm anymore.
Gu Ning was Shangguan Yang's female apprentice, Qing He?
It was understandable that they looked different, because it was very easy for them to change their appearance with makeup, but Gu Ning didn't have the air of a cultivator at all.
"Do you mean that Gu Ning is Shangguan Yang's female apprentice, Qing He? She doesn't have the air of a cultivator at all! "asked Baili Zeyang.
After that, Baili Zongxue told Baili Zeyang what had happened that day.
"Gu Ning said that it was because of her body constitution that she could hide the air of a cultivator. That day, we met a man of the Evil Practice, so Gu Ning exposed her identity in order to save me. She also told me her identity later, but told me not to tell others, so I didn't tell you, "said Baili Zongxue.
Hearing the news, Baili Zeyang didn't get his mind back until a long time later. It was too shocking.
He knew that Gu Ning wasn't simple, but he had never thought that she was a cultivator herself. Moreover, she was Shangguan Yang's female apprentice, Qing He.
It was no wonder that she had saved Baili Zongxue twice. It was because they knew each other and had a good relationship.
If it had been someone else, she probably wouldn't have helped them.
"Zeyang, you promised me that you wouldn't tell others. You must keep your promise. You can't even tell grandpa." Although Baili Zongxue trusted Baili Zeyang, she couldn't help reminding him again. If he told others, she would feel sorry for Gu Ning.
"Fine, I promise. I won't tell anyone," said Baili Zeyang. He really couldn't tell others about it. In addition, Gu Ning exposed her identity in order to save Baili Zongxue.
Baili Zongxue didn't relax until she heard Baili Zeyang's promise.

It was Monday again. At noon, Gu Ning met Qu Hanjiao in the canteen. Because Gu Ning disappeared, Qu Hanjiao's evil spirit faded a little, but it still needed some time to fade away completely.
Qu Hanjiao was still gloomy and liked to stay in a corner where there was no one around.
