Then, her eyes brightened!
It was actually a silk book!
The stack of silk looked thin but it actually turned out to be a book with more than ten million words after she opened it.
More excitingly, it was actually a book about wind talents, for basic to intermediate level practitioners. The little wordings were luminous, hence, Gu Xijiu could see them clearly in the dark.
She was worried that she would not be able to get a book to practice her wind talent, but this would undoubtedly be a great help!
Gu Xijiu originally came here to verify her dream if the jade statue was still around but little did she know that it would turn out to be such an adventure.
She went on searching around the cave for a little longer but she did not find anything else.
She too, did not see the pavilion where she found that jade statue, and the structure of the cave was far from what she remembered it to be.
She had been racking her brains trying to verify the cave again and again, that if this cave was supposed to be that cave…
There should be only one possibility for such incident to occur, which was the cave she trespassed before had a legendary enchanted boundary where the jade statue was located, which she accidentally crossed over.
Probably that enchanted boundary had now disappeared or was better hidden, hence, she could no longer find it…
She recalled that dream and had a thought - would that jade statue be the Holy Lord? Was he hinting her to come over in the dream?
The guess was more reasonable but she felt it was absurd too.
The Holy Lord was a character with the highest status in this world and would not talk to any commoners. He might not show himself for the next few hundred years; even the two Celestial Masters, Zuo and You, along with the three overlords could barely see him. So, why would he help an insignificant person like Gu Xijiu?
If there had to be a reason, that would probably be because she had stripped him of his clothes before…
She shuddered because if she really did strip him, she reckoned she would be killed.
How would he repay her with kindness?
Her little counselor, the Firmament Stone was still in bad shape and could not communicate with her. Therefore, Gu Xijiu could not ask about the characteristics of the Holy Lord.
Maybe the Holy Lord was a god, with godly characteristics. Therefore, he would not be like any regular Joe and would instead, pay resentment with kindness.
When Gu Xijiu thought of this, she was touched and bowed towards the inner part of the cave, "Thank you for giving me the book. If I’ve offended you, I sincerely apologize. If you need my help, please do let me know in my dreams. I’ll definitely do my best…"
As such a kind act could not be repaid with just a word of thank you, Gu Xijiu made that wish.
Nobody responded in the cave. It did not seem like there was anyone in there too.
Gu Xijiu left and the cave returned to its silent state.
There was a cliff opposite the cave three people had appeared on a big tree where its branches were twisted.
One of them was wearing a white robe, had dark hair and was also wearing a ghastly mask -
he was Holy Lord indeed.
Behind him, there were two handsome young men looking at Gu Xijiu leaving and one of them sighed, "This girl is indeed a genius! With only a level two spiritual power, she dared to fight against this uni-horn viper and won the battle!"
"That’s right. This uni-horn viper is extremely ferocious and is also a quite a battle for people with a level four spiritual power. With just one mistake, one would easily die. Therefore, it’s better to escape if one ever chances upon it. Nevertheless, this little girl did not even want to run away but instead, put up a good fight. I was actually very nervous just now, fearing that she would be swallowed alive."
"Mu Lei, you think too much. With our Holy Lord here, that little girl would be alright." Another person shook his head.
"That’s right. Our master does care for this little girl…" Mu Lei nodded.
"Holy Lord, what do you think of her performance this time?" Mu Feng asked, rather daringly.
"How could the person I choose be poor?" The Holy Lord drawled.
The two young men, "…"
Mu Lei, "The little girl is indeed different…"
Mu Feng taunted, "If she wasn’t different, how would the Holy Lord place his efforts on her and claim that she is his scholar? He definitely has to train her to prevent her from humiliating the name of the Holy Lord."
"Do the two of you really not have anything else better to do?" With just a sentence, the Holy Lord shut their mouths instantly! They carefully observed their master, afraid if their very particular master would agonize them again if he was unhappy.
Fortunately, the Holy Lord did not mean to trouble them. Instead, he was tapping on the branch, pondering.
The surrounding became extremely quiet.
"Mu Feng, how’s Long Siye?" Holy Lord suddenly asked.
"Replying the Holy Lord, he’s still receiving his punishment at the Brahma region."
The Holy Lord slightly nodded and kept quiet.
Both Mu Feng and Mu Lei met eyes and acknowledged that they were both sympathizing Long Siye.
The name 'Brahma' sounded fancy, as though it was a merciful place when it was, in fact, a place of sufferings.
The living condition there was extremely bad, not because of the extreme topography or ferocious beast & poisonous mist, but rather the bad condition which changes according to the victim's spiritual power.
For example, if a person with a water talent was receiving his punishment, the condition will change to arid soil.
Long Siye had wood talents, so it was a hell of a fire. That fire would drain body liquids out and cause an extreme burning sensation…
The Holy Lord was usually kind, especially towards his four disciples who received the heavenly gift. Though he always gave them some troubles, he would not punish them by sending them there.
Nevertheless, Long Siye deserved such serious punishment as he had kidnapped Gu Xijiu and disturbed the heavenly gift test - it was indeed unexpected.
Mu Feng slightly hesitated, "Holy Lord, I heard that the protective boundaries of Tianwen mountain were destructed before Long Siye came to receive his punishment. He had spent lots of his spiritual power and eight whole days to repair it…"
"Yes? So?" Holy Lord shifted his focus towards him.
Mu Feng plucked up his courage to continue, "He’s been at Brahma region for almost a month now... can he be released now?"
Holy Lord slightly frowned and thought about it briefly while tapping on a tree branch and said indifferently, "You are right, a month is the longest for a person to be in Brahma region. Let him out and then put him in the Aqua Sky Court so that he can rest for a few months."
Mu Feng, "…"
The two young men were looking at each other again. Though Aqua Sky Court was the place for people with water talent to recharge themselves, it could be considered as a good place for Long Siye to rest, as wood required water too.
Nonetheless, resting there was a suffering because it was a frozen world which was much colder than the North Pole.
Was it good for Long Siye to enter the frozen world immediately after the hell of fire?
Poor Overlord Long - he had to experience both a freezer and a furnace!
Holy Lord glanced at him, "Are you not going away now?"
The two young men were shocked and knew that they could not change the Holy Lord’s mind anymore. Therefore, they quickly replied and ran away as quickly the fury of a tornado.
...
Note from the author: Ahem, somebody asked if Holy Lord and Di Fuyi are the same person. Actually, you could know from the name of his attendants. They are still Mu Yun, Mu Lei, Mu Dian…the answer is very obvious, isn’t it?
