Chapter 1034: Does Team Blue Whale Including You?
Editor: Henyee Translations
At this moment, a waiter from the auction house knocked on the door and entered with tea and snacks. He said, “Miss Gu, Miss Shen Qin, who just bought your perfume, would like to meet you. She’s outside.”
“Let her in,” Gu Yang said, intrigued by Shen Qin.
From what Gu Jin and Feng Jue had told her, Shen Qin, although not a member of Team Blue Whale, had frequent interactions with them as she was Shen Ran’s biological sister. However, she had been adopted by a wealthy businessman in the City of Brisk a year before the light cone experiment, and thus had avoided it.
Even if Shen Qin hadn’t come to see her today, Gu Yang was keen to meet her.
The waiter opened the door, and an elegant young woman walked in.
As she entered, Gu Yang was immediately greeted by a cold fragrance mixed with the late autumn chill—the unmistakable scent of “Tranquil Heart.”
Shen Qin glanced around the room, recognizing a few faces. “Gu Jin, Feng Jue, Cao Cuo. It’s been a while.”
Gu Jin and the others noticed Shen Qin’s indifferent demeanor. Cao Cuo offered a slight nod, while Gu Jin gave her a fleeting glance. Feng Jue, holding Gu Yang’s hand, paid her no mind.
Shen Qin’s gaze settled on Gu Yang, who stood between Gu Jin and Feng Jue. She scrutinized her from head to toe, trying to recall any familiar features but found nothing.
She frowned and asked, “Have you had plastic surgery?”
Gu Yang: “…”
Feng Jue’s eyes narrowed as he sneered, his voice tinged with coldness. “My sister is naturally beautiful. She doesn’t need plastic surgery.”
Gu Jin also regarded Shen Qin with a frosty stare. As she assessed her, she muttered, “Removed the double eyelids, reshaped the nose, supported the chin, and slimmed the face…”
Shen Qin didn’t grasp the full extent of Gu Jin’s remarks at first, but when she noticed her teasing gaze sweeping across her face, her expression stiffened. “Gu Jin!”
She quickly interrupted her, her previously calm voice now laced with anger.
Her attention then shifted back to Gu Yang. “Earlier, you mentioned that my disciple wanted to see me?”
Gu Yang asked, “Where is Shen Ran?”
Shen Qin narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Gu Yang. “My brother and you are not acquainted. Why the interest in his whereabouts?”
“I’m not the only one asking. The entire Team Blue Whale is,” Gu Yang responded. She sensed Shen Qin’s hostility and wasn’t surprised. After all, Shen Qin had brought “Tranquil Heart” to the auction specifically to challenge her.
In addition to hostility, Gu Yang could also detect a hint of disdain. Shen Qin had referred to her as “Xiao Yang” instead of “Gu Yang,” clearly indicating her refusal to acknowledge her as Wuyang.
Shen Qin had never participated in the light cone experiment, so her memory hadn’t been affected by the UO. She should remember Wuyang’s true appearance.
“Team Blue Whale?” Shen Qin’s voice took on a mocking tone as her gaze landed on Gu Yang. “Does that include you?”
Gu Yang was momentarily taken aback and fell silent, a trace of confusion flickering in her eyes.
She wasn’t sure either. Though Gu Jin, Feng Jue, and Cao Cuo had assured her she was Wuyang, it was still uncertain.
Feng Jue tightened his grip on her hand. His cold fingers were enveloped by her warm palm. With a confident lift of his eyebrows, he said, “Of course, it includes my sister.”
