Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 246: She Blocked Me

No one here knew more about formations than San Tong, and it was why he was also the most aware of how terrifying Gu Xiqiao was.

A formation left behind by an ancient warrior, and she was able to ‘patch it up’? Was that even possible?! San Tong looked back to find that the formation had once again disappeared into thin air, and he shook his head, wiping the expression of his face. He sent a message to Yi Bing—[Yi Bing, I don’t want to live anymore!]

Cecily also wiped the expression of her face, and she walked to Gu Xiqiao’s side, her blue eyes full of wonder. “This miss, are you from the Baili family? I’ve long heard of how their skills in formations are top notch and incomparable, and it looks like it’s true.”

“I’m not.” Gu Xiqiao shook her head. “But I’m acquainted with Big Brother Baili.”

“No wonder.” Cecily smiled brightly, and she stretched her hand out to Gu Xiqiao. “Nice to meet you, my name is Cecily. I’m from America’s supernatural world.”

“Gu Xiqiao.” Gu Xiqiao stretched out her left hand. “Nice to meet you.”

“Which floor have you reached in the Trial Tower, Miss Gu?” Cecily asked suddenly. “I heard that that little demon girl, Jiang Tong, has already reached the 62nd floor. You shouldn’t be that far off from her, right?”

Gu Xiqiao smiled faintly. “I’m not from the ancient martial arts world. I only did some research on formations.”

Cecily’s eyes widened comically. “Not from the ancient martial arts world?” The scene of Gu Xiqiao using her bare hands to close the spatial crack flashed through her mind again as she said this.

Excuse me?

Gu Xiqiao was calm as she continued, “I was the one who patched up the formation just now, Miss Cecily. That’s the reason I was able to easily control it.”

Hearing the explanation, Cecily nodded her head in stunned shock. “Ah, I see.”

San Tong watched as Gu Xiqiao lied through her teeth with a straight face, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He sympathized with Cecily. Gu Xiqiao was never one to pull punches when it came to cheating. She had a pure and serious appearance, one that made it hard for people to doubt her words.

“Thank you again, Mr. Ying.” Cecily turned to him. “I didn’t expect a regular person like yourself to be able to see through the formation. As expected, China sure is full of talented people.”

Ying Xu glanced at Gu Xiqiao, who was still standing behind, and he smiled. “I also know Baili.”

Cecily: “…”

“Where do you live, Miss Gu?” Yi Tong was tinkering with his compass again. “We’re going to be here a while, is there a bigger place to live in?”

“How long will you be staying?” Gu Xiqiao asked.

Yi Tong thought about it for a few seconds, and replied, “Not more than a week.”

Gu Xiqiao blinked, and thought a while. “It’s about there then. Jiji, bring Mr. Yi Tong to meet Manager Liu.”

It’s about there? What’s about there? Yi Tong was confused, and then he was startled out of it by the sound of a mechanical voice.

“Alright, Beauty Gu.” A robot appeared in front of them suddenly. “Please come this way.”

“A robot?” The flat headed youth beside Ying Xu jumped in surprised.
