Chapter 1399: 1399 Missing Invitation

1399 Missing Invitation

Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes and smiled sweetly. “Senior, you know my identity, right?”

These words sounded a little inexplicable, but Gu Zheng saw through her thoughts and asked casually, “Oh? What identity?”

Qiao Xi: “…”

She hesitated for a long time, and her cheeks turned red. In the end, she said shyly, “Um… I restored the damaged scroll…”

Seeing her like this, Gu Zheng inexplicably wanted to tease her. His voice was tainted with a trace of joy. “Xi Xi, so you’re talking about this identity! What do you want me to help you with?”

Qiao Xi smiled in embarrassment. “Actually, it’s not a big deal. Li City is holding a cultural relics event in a few days. The main content is the restoration of ancient books. I was invited, but I… I really don’t want to go with that identity!”

Gu Zheng could understand Qiao Xi’s thoughts. Back then, Xi Xi was young and casually chose a name. If she attended an event and heard so many seniors call her ‘Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor’, it would really be too embarrassing.

He curled his lips and suppressed his smile. “Since you don’t want to go, then just refuse.”

Qiao Xi blurted out, “It’s easy to refuse them, but I heard that the theme of this event is to repair the classic ancient book, ‘The Forgotten River’. This ancient book actually has rubbings, but the one in the event is the real one. I really want to take a look.”

Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow. It was really rare for Mrs. Gu to expose her identity for an ancient book!

Qiao Xi’s face was dyed red. “I… I really don’t want to go as the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor. Moreover, this event is related to the restoration of ancient books, after all. Ordinary people won’t be able to enter, so I can only ask you to help me!”

“What can I do?” Gu Zheng stared at her with his deep eyes.

Qiao Xi lowered her head and said in a voice that was like a mosquito, “Why don’t you say that you’re the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor? Bring me in and I’ll see how the seniors repaired The Forgotten River. We’ll leave after that’s done, alright?”

The study instantly fell silent. A moment later, Gu Zheng chuckled. “You’re pushing the name you don’t like to me, Mrs. Gu?”

Qiao Xi defended herself self-righteously. “You’re Gu Zheng! Even if they know that you’re the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, they won’t offend you. They’ll even respectfully call you Mr. Gu. You don’t have to feel ashamed at all!”

Gu Zheng looked at Qiao Xi’s anxious appearance and nodded in amusement. Actually, he had also received an invitation. Even if he did use the name Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, he could still legitimately enter the venue.

“Alright, since you want to go, I’ll go with you.”

“Really?” Qiao Xi was instantly stunned as if she did not dare believe that Gu Zheng would agree so readily.

Gu Zheng looked up and glanced at her. “When have I ever rejected your request? Give me the invitation. On the day of the event, follow me in without worry.”

Previously, Qiao Xi had promised Gu Zheng that she would share any secrets with him and not hide them from him. She originally thought that after revealing her identity this time, Gu Zheng would tease her. She did not expect things to go so smoothly, and it caused her to be slightly in disbelief.

Qiao Xi danced with joy. Suddenly, her entire body stiffened, and her expression changed. “That’s not right! I don’t have an invitation!”

“Previously, the person in charge of the event called me and asked for my address. He said that he would send the invitation over. The event is just a few days away, but I haven’t received it!”

Gu Zheng’s eyes flashed.

His invitation was personally sent over by the staff of the ancient books repair department. They even double-checked his identity. However, Xi Xi received a call asking for her address. They said that they wanted to send the invitation over?

“Which address did you give?” Gu Zheng asked softly.

Qiao Xi frowned. “It’s a house I rented in the past. When it’s not convenient for me to expose my identity, I’ll name that address. I also go there when I meet Stars. Moreover, the phone number I left behind is also a special number in Ling Pavilion. They won’t be able to find the owner’s name.”

After a moment of silence, Gu Zheng said in a low voice, “Xi Xi, you’ve been tricked. The invitations to this event were personally sent to the guests by the staff. A few ancient book repair masters in Li City also personally received the invitations.

“From the looks of it, the person who asked for your address wasn’t a staff member. They intercepted your invitation.”

Qiao Xi blinked. Who was so wicked?

Not only did the other party intercept her invitation, but they also called her to ask for her address. What did they want?
