Chapter 2306: Reunion with Su Jinyao; Class

Not long after, the teacher responsible for the Talisman class arrived, accompanied by a girl speaking softly to him.

Gu Zhiqi was looking down, flipping through a book, when Yun Pianpian suddenly leaned in and whispered, "Hey, look over there, that girl is also a genius, almost versatile, and is quite a well-known figure at the Mystical Studies Academy."

Hearing this, Gu Zhiqi looked up and saw a thin, elderly man and a girl with a delicate and bright appearance.

She looked somewhat familiar, and...

"What’s her name?" Gu Zhiqi asked Yun Pianpian as she turned to look at her.

"Her name is Su Jinyao, just like Senior Sister Gu Xiyue, she also tested in from outside. During high school, we were actually in the same school." Seeing Gu Zhiqi seemed quite interested in Su Jinyao, Yun Pianpian told Gu Zhiqi a little more.

Gu Zhiqi nodded.

Now she recalled, she’d met her once before, apparently she was Su the Beauty’s half-sister.

After entering the classroom, the teacher and Su Jinyao whispered for a while, and then Su Jinyao thanked the teacher and went to find a seat.

Inadvertently, Su Jinyao’s gaze swept past Gu Zhiqi, and her expression changed suddenly, even her steps paused slightly.

Having just heard Yun Pianpian’s words about Su Jinyao, she felt a gaze upon her. Gu Zhiqi lifted her eyes to discover Su Jinyao looking at her, but her expression didn’t seem good.

Was this... knowing her?

Gu Zhiqi subtly raised an eyebrow, then nodded slightly to Su Jinyao.

Seeing Gu Zhiqi nod at her, Su Jinyao hesitated for a moment, then nodded back at Gu Zhiqi, and quickly withdrew her gaze with a serious expression, hurriedly stepping off the podium to find a seat.

The sudden change in Su Jinyao’s expression was noticed by many who had been paying attention to her, including Yun Pianpian. However, no one else realized that her change was because of Gu Zhiqi, only Yun Pianpian noticed a hint.

Yun Pianpian leaned towards Gu Zhiqi and softly asked, "Do you know Su Jinyao? It seemed like she was reacting to seeing—"

Gu Zhiqi shook her head, "First time meeting."

Su Qing was sitting right in front of Gu Zhiqi and Yun Pianpian, and had also seen Su Jinyao’s sudden change in expression. Hearing the conversation between Yun Pianpian and Gu Zhiqi, Su Qing’s eyes deepened slightly.

After Su Jinyao left, the teacher prepared to start the lesson.

Noticing an extra Gu Zhiqi in the class, the teacher didn’t think much of it, assuming she was an auditing student. His gaze swept past Yen Qiming, noticing his bruised face, and concernedly asked about Yen Qiming’s situation.

Yen Qiming felt embarrassed to tell the teacher that he was beaten by a girl who came to class for the first time and casually made up a reason.

Coming from a prominent family, the teacher didn’t think anyone would dare strike him, so he thought no further, flipped open the textbook, and began teaching the class, "Today, I’ll be introducing a talisman array."

With that, the teacher took out a stack of talisman paper, then stacked them into a hollow human shape, the human shape roughly the size of a palm, hovering over the teacher’s palm, similar to the human shape Gu Zhiqi had just formed, clearly a miniature version.

"This is the Three-dimensional Talisman Array..."

The teacher raised the human-shaped Talisman Array in his hand and began introducing it to the students.

The students who had seen Yen Qiming kicked by a talisman array paid keen attention, but after a while, couldn’t help but look at Gu Zhiqi, Yen Qiming included, all wearing quite complex expressions.
