The others also turned their gaze towards Gu Shengyin, eager to know her answer.
They found it very strange.
If Gu Shengyin knew nothing, why would she repeatedly give them warnings?
If she knew everything, how could she knowingly step into the Ghost Castle if it meant certain death?
Recollecting what Gu Shengyin told the driver about coming to pick them up in ten days, everyone felt that she was shrouded in a layer of mystery.
Gu Shengyin understood that she needed to provide an explanation for certain matters.
She sighed and said, "I remember when I was resupplying food in that small village, I mentioned to you guys that I had learned some Yin Yang Mystic Techniques."
Everyone remembered, and they also recalled that thunderbolt from a clear sky!
Gu Shengyin said half-truthfully, "Before coming here, I cast a divination, and the omen showed great misfortune."
Qin Chingching, engrossed, complained upon hearing this, "Since you knew it was a bad omen, why didnât you stop us from coming?"
Gu Shengyin glanced at her and sneered, "Search your heart and ask carefully, Qin Chingching, did I ever try to stop you?"
Qin Chingchingâs face changed, and she fell silent.
Qing Ge spoke up, "Since the divination showed great misfortune, why did you insist on coming?"
Gu Shengyin shrugged helplessly, "The Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. By using divination for this matter, it showed that I was already involved. Even if I didnât want to participate, the Heavenly Dao wouldnât permit it."
"Moreover, you all heard that clear sky thunderbolt earlier. Itâs something I couldnât disclose to anyone."
"So I could only try to prepare as best as I could, hoping to last until ten days later."
With Gu Shengyin saying this, it made sense why she told them to leave and, knowing they wouldnât, asked them to prepare weapons and food instead.
Now, everything was understandable.
Actually, Gu Shengyin could say it nicely or not.
If they understood, great; less to explain. If not, they had to understand regardless.
Now, within this ancient castle, Gu Shengyin was nearly their strongest reliance.
Gu Shengyin looked at Qin Chingching, "If you have any questions, itâs best to ask them all now. Iâll answer you now, but later, I might not have the mood or time."
This was mainly directed at Qin Chingching.
After all, the things she did in the original plot left Gu Shengyin amazed.
She didnât want to be implicated by her eventually.
Qin Chingchingâs face changed upon hearing Gu Shengyinâs words, and she lowered her head, saying, "No more questions."
Gu Shengyin then said, "For now, nothing serious will happen. Letâs each think of ways to see if we can come up with something."
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Everyone was racking their brains to find a solution.
But coming up with a plan was easier said than done.
The path before them almost seemed like a dead end!
Gu Shengyin thought of countless ideas, but after thinking them through, realized they wouldnât work.
No solution.
She raised her hand to check the time, "Letâs eat something first."
Upon hearing Gu Shengyinâs words, everyone quietly picked up their backpacks.
Several people, seeing their backpacks full of food, thanked Gu Shengyin.
If it werenât for her, they would have only packed three or four daysâ worth of food. By then, even if the ghosts didnât kill them, they might starve to death here.
