If that's indeed the case, then the answers Ling Muyan gave while under hypnosis last time might also be questionable.
For instance, denying that she ever liked Xu Changqing.
Suspecting Ling Muyan to be a hypnotist, today when meeting Ling Muyan, Gu Zhiqi did not hypnotize her.
Instead, while Ling Muyan was fully conscious, she gave her psychological suggestions.
Gu Zhiqi deliberately chose the Heartless Path that interested her, making her unconsciously lower her guard, and then used her obsession with the Heartless Path to trigger her emotional fluctuations.
In the state of emotional fluctuation, it's easy to speak without thinking.
And Ling Muyan's remark "can't comprehend" was said in such an emotionally unstable moment.
It was also that remark that made Gu Zhiqi confirm that Ling Muyan had once been moved.
And the object of her affection should be Xu Changqing, but Gu Zhiqi wasn't completely sure about that yet.
