Chapter 866
Having waited all day, Qian Ye had lost all her patience, yet Gu Fan had not called. She wondered to herself, does Gu Fan not care about Gu Ling at all?
That’s not right. During the time Qian Ye had spent with Gu Fan, she could tell that Gu Fan cherished Gu Ling deeply and would never disregard his sister’s life or death.
Qian Ye quickly realized that this was Gu Fan playing mind games with her, trying not to show too much concern to avoid being at a disadvantage.
"Fine, let’s see how long you can wait," Qian Ye was not in a hurry. She felt she had time, while Gu Fan, unable to see Gu Ling, must be too anxious to eat or sleep well.
Just when Qian Ye felt assured of her psychological upper hand, thinking she could rest easy, Ning Qi came over and said, "Second Elder Sister, I advise you not to take it lightly. We’ve dealt with Gu Fan more than once, and I’m sure he’s trying everything to save Gu Ling. The longer we drag this out, the more it actually benefits Gu Fan, so I suggest you don’t give him too much time to think."
Hearing this, Qian Ye furrowed her brows, finding Ning Qi’s words quite reasonable.
Seeing that Qian Ye seemed ready to take her advice, Ning Qi pressed on, "Second Elder Sister, let me remind you, if they manage to fix the space-time door and bring Lin Xi back from the ancient era during this time, no one will be there to take your place, and it will definitely be chaotic."
"Yes, we can’t let them drag this out." No sooner had Qian Ye spoken than Ning Qi added fuel to the fire, "Maybe Gu Fan hung up on you because the space-time door is nearing completion. He doesn’t want to give you a chance to speak, as he’s buying time."
Now Qian Ye felt a sense of urgency and wanted to call back, forcibly pressing Gu Fan to exchange Gu Ling for the use of the space-time door. But considering that it was the other party who had hung up earlier, calling back now would be a loss of face for her.
