Chapter 372: Would You Bother Me?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Are you so eager to throw yourself at me?" He chuckled beside her ears.
Gu Xijiu angrily got out from his arms and sat back on her chair.
It was strange as she had been calm in public and was never alarmed by any given situation.
But when she was in front of this person, she had always reacted slow and always got into trouble…
Was he a curse to her?
Gu Xijiu’s face was flushed and she felt confused. She had to calm down to have better thoughts…
Something was not right. She had only talked to the Firmament Stone that she suspected him as gay. How could Celestial Master Zuo know about it? Was the Firmament Stone the one who told him the secret?"
She looked at the Firmament Stone on her wrist suspiciously.
The Firmament Stone was strange too. Every time when she got near Di Fuyi, it would turn as silent as death.
When she sat down, Di Fuyi slowly went towards her, "Actually, there is another reason that I've chosen you. Do you want to know what it is?"
"Yes."
Di Fuyi looked at her and said, "Every woman in this continent has ulterior motives towards me. You are the only exceptional one who kept avoiding me, so I was very curious…"
Gu Xijiu was speechless, "What a bad reason! You should marry someone you love, not someone you are just curious about!"
He was the exceptional one. There were so many people who loved him but he did not want to marry them, yet he chose the one who liked to run away whenever she saw him.
"You mentioned that I want to find a cover-up. Since I'm seeking that, I should find someone who would not bother me. What's more, I am curious about you and you are the one who requires the least effort."
Gu Xijiu said, "What do you mean by the least effort? Does that mean you can easily leave me in the future?" Did he mean if she did not love him, she would not be involved with him?
"Will you bother me?" Di Fuyi asked.
"Of course not!"
Di Fuyi’s eyes seemed to be dimmed. He said, "That’s right! It is better to get me to act with you than to get Rong Jialuo."
Gu Xijiu remained silent.
This man was really crafty and could actually figure out that she was acting with Rong Jialuo.
However, Rong Jialuo was a gentleman and would keep his promise. Even if she was engaged to him, she could easily get rid of him in the future.
But Celestial Master Zuo was not easy to get rid of and there were too many variables!
Unfortunately, this was not someone she could easily reject!
Anyway, it was just a temporary pain relief. Once she came out from the Dark Forest, she could change a new identity and did not have to care about all these matters that bothered her now.
When she was planning this in her mind, her hand was pulled by someone. She was not prepared for it thus she fell into his arms again!
She was shocked and when she was about to get up, he put his arm around her waist and his lips came close to her. He chuckled, "I know what you are planning. You are planning to change a new identity after you come out from the Dark Forest, am I right?"
Gu Xijiu wanted to push away his hand but when she heard what he said, she was stunned.
"You..."
"I know everything about you…" Di Fuyi continued to whisper into her ears, "And you know my tricks well enough. As long as I don’t let go, you can’t get rid of me no matter what. It will be the same regardless of how many identities you will change."
Gu Xijiu was speechless. He was a crazy man!
She took a deep breath and decided to talk to him calmly, "What do you want?"
"I want you to break out from the Dark Forest and use your own identity!"
Chapter 373: It Has Nothing To Do With Him

Gu Xijiu’s eyes darkened, "What if I’m not willing to?" What she hated the most was being told what to do.
No matter how many identities she had come up with, he could still see through her disguise almost immediately. If that were the case, she would rather stay in the Dark Forest.
She could stay for at least a year until she was 15 years old.
According to the promise that Di Fuyi had made with Luo Xinglan, it was stated that if she could not make it out of the Dark Forest before she turned 15, the engagement would not be taken into account.
Di Fuyi fixed his gaze on her, as he seemed to have read her thoughts. His gaze darkened, "Are you really reluctant to accept the engagement?"
Gu Xijiu buttoned her lips.
Di Fuyi took a moment of silence. He then sharpened his eyes at her and said with a smile, "Actually, it’ll do more good to you if you’re engaged to me, at least Long Siye won’t be tangled up with you anymore, isn’t it? Or is it – that you’re still hoping that he keeps holding on to you?"
"It has nothing to do with him!" answered Gu Xijiu, almost immediately.
She sounded eager as if worried that Di Fuyi might actually go and cause Long Siye trouble. Di Fuyi’s smile disappeared, "It’s best that it has nothing to do with him! It’s fate that both of you have not had the luck to be together, so you’d better stop thinking about him!" said Di Fuyi, noncommittally.
Gu Xijiu was speechless at that instant.
"Don’t worry! He’s yours! I’m not interested!" She said icily.
He caught in her words and stumbled a little, "He’s mine…" said Di Fuyi, repeating her words. He gnashed his teeth a little in a slight rage.
He blinked his eyes deliberately and peered at her. All of a sudden, he laughed, "Yes, he’s mine. Do remember what you’ve just said!" Said Di Fuyi in slow, measured tones.
Except for the part that he whispered in her ears, the rest of their conversation was conducted in their personal acoustical control, secretly. Only the two of them could hear what they said. The outsiders would have no clue at all.
It seemed like they were casting loving glances back and forth to each other as if Celestial Master Zuo was there to lift Gu Xijiu up just when she was about to stumble across her seat. Bashfully, she then seemed to fix her posture and sit upright. All of a sudden, Celestial Master Zuo appeared to hold her tenderly in his arms and whispered softly into her ears – this was all from an outsider's perspective.
The entire scenario had cast an immense impact. Apparently, the people were infuriated, as they were glowering at them in strong disapproval.
Was it still the same Celestial Master Zuo, who was known to not be fond of women? Was he still the same person who never allowed any woman to approach him in close proximity?
Gu Xietian did not know how to feel about all this.
To his surprise, the superior Celestial Master Zuo had gone to the length of becoming his son-in-law.
He was in doubt. Even if this was just a dream, it still seemed like a sheer absurdity to him.
Suddenly, there was a clear, crisp sound of the plate falling to the ground.
Everyone looked towards the direction of the sound. Then, they saw Yun Qingluo sitting there, with a tilting plate at the side of her feet. Her soup had spilled all over the place.
"Pardon me, it slipped out of my hand," she explained to everyone, apologetically.
"There’s no big deal, it’s just a plate," said the Emperor, as he commanded his servants to clean it up.
Yun Qingluo could not hold back her gaze towards Di Fuyi. He looked up and returned her gaze. It was only a glimpse, but enough to cause a stir in her heart. She lowered her head and held her fingers even more tightly beneath her sleeves.
Gu Xijiu turned her look towards her direction as well, but it was simply a quick glance and her attention only lasted for a brief moment.
Yun Qingluo possessed a specific power as if she had a third eye that could help her observe everything in her surroundings without actually looking around.
Even with her head lowered down, she could clearly feel Gu Xijiu’s glance at her. She held her fingers so tightly as though they were about to penetrate her flesh.
Was the Lord’s follower trying to display superiority with her glance?
It seemed like she had forgotten her worth, just because she had achieved the status that she was obviously not worthy of. It was unbelievable that she had the audacity to demonstrate her superiority and made a fool out of the Heaven's Gift disciple.
