Celestial Master Zuo was standing there but spoke nothing.
Mu Feng frowned, "This is not a place to talk, so talk about it outside next time, but for now, do leave quickly!"
Mu Feng was impersonated by Gu Xijiu while Celestial Master Zuo, who was by her side, was impersonated by Si Chen.
As Gu Xijiu was afraid that Si Chen would reveal their identity if he spoke, she told him to be silent and she will handle all things before they showed themselves.
As she knew how to disguise her voice, she had imitated Celestial Master Zuo’s voice before their appearance. She thought that these people would quickly go away as soon as they see Celestial Master Zuo, unexpecting Dao Qingyang would be brave. Besides, he obviously doubted their identities!
Therefore, Gu Xijiu must not let Si Chen to speak, and spoke regardless.
Yet, what she did made him even more doubtful that he looked at Gu Xijiu with his piercing eyes, "Guardian Mu, why are you being so nervous? My question was easy to answer and Celestial Master Zuo just need to answer it in short."
In his last sentence, he even forgot to use respectful language.
Gu Xijiu’s heart missed a beat because she knew that she could not imitate Celestial Master's voice when they were being watched by eight pairs of eyes!
When she decided to try to bark at them again in hopes that they would leave, Si Chen who was beside her suddenly drawled, "Dao Qingyang, how dare you doubt me?"
Gu Xijiu was shocked because Si Chen's voice was echoing exactly like the voice of Celestial Master Zuo!
Dao Qingyang face darkened too. He quickly replied, "No, I don’t dare to."
"No?" Si Chen waved his sleeve gracefully and smiled vaguely, "Are you sure? You even dare to use "I" in front of me and wanted to force me to answer your question. Do you think you’re qualified to do so?"
His voice sounded indifferent but with a defiant motive to kill.
Dao Qingyang was shocked, fell on his knee and was kowtowing, "I’m sorry for offending you. Would you forgive me?"
His seniors and juniors too kowtowed and pleaded on behalf of Dao Qingyang.
"I wouldn’t expiate others guilt simply. Do you think that I would forgive you for just a few kowtows?" Si Chen was still smiling but with harsher words.
Dao Qingyang was very regretful but he had to provide an explanation for Celestial Master Zuo.
With determination, he chopped off one of his arms and blood was oozing out. His face turned pale yet he still continued to kowtow, "I hereby punish myself by chopping off my arm as my apology, hoping that you will forgive me."
Si Chen just gave a word, "Go!"
Dao Qingyang was given an amnesty; he quickly left with his seniors and juniors.
The place returned to its serenity and Gu Xijiu was relief, "Luckily!" and glanced at Si Chen, "I didn’t expect that you could be so much like Celestial Master Zuo!"
Even she herself, was nearly shocked by his intimidating aura.
Si Chen also wiped away the drops of sweat on his forehead, "Luckily! Luckily, I used to learn how to disguise my voice and used to see Celestial Master Zuo a few times. Otherwise, we would have reveal ourselves and will die instead of saving the Wind Caller."
He now spoke in the voice of Si Chen.
"Your aura was also similar; not only your voice." Gu Xijiu took another glance at him.
Si Chen seemed to be very excited, "Really?" And he stared at Gu Xijiu with his glistening eyes, "Then, do you like me a little bit more?"
Gu Xijiu, "…"
This fellow did not forget to profess his love whenever possible indeed!
She then ignored him and went to check out the wind caller. As it was badly injured, it was still crouching there, otherwise, it would have escaped earlier.
Its crouching position was rather strange. Though it could no longer support itself, its two fore hooves were still supporting it against the ground, as if afraid to trod on something.
When Gu Xijiu got nearer, it immediately whistled angrily while raising its head as if giving a warning.
However, as it was severely injured, its whistle was not as intimidating as before.
Gu Xijiu said, "I’ll not hurt you; I only want to cure your wound." She took out some medicine and showed it to the wind caller.
The wind caller did not show any appreciation but whistled again, this time taking its voice up a notch.
"Master, it said that you remind him of a weasel paying a courtesy visit to a chicken, albeit with no good intention." The mussel opened its shell in Gu Xijiu’s sleeve and translated lazily.
Gu Xijiu had a thought and pulled it out, "You know how to speak the language of the beast? Come, be my translator and tell it that I will not make it surrender to be my mount. I’ll let it go immediately after I cure it."
As soon as the mussel reached the ground, it went back to its original size - as big as a small house. It opened and closed its shell, drooling while staring at the windcaller, "Master, it’s severely injured and is not able to recover in a short period of time. Besides, it does not appreciate your offering. It would be better if I eat it; its meat is very delicious…"
Gu Xijiu was annoyed and slapped on its shell, "Eat it if you dare! Be careful, for I may turn you into stew!"
The mussel was unhappy, "Master, you’re being partial…" It mumbled but it did translate Gu Xijiu's words to the wind caller.
It definitely added some of its own thoughts, "You’re known as the wind caller, right? You're just able to run faster but you are still much poorer than I am! My master just got me, so how would she fancy you? She was just being kind, wanting to cure you. But you are so stubborn and not being grateful! If she had harboured any bad intentions, how would you be able to escape with your current condition? If you don’t even understand this, that's stupid of you, no?"
Its last words obviously hit the wind caller’s weak spot, which let its guard down and nodded towards Gu Xijiu.
Gu Xijiu heaved a sigh of relief and felt that having a beast acting as a translator made things easier.
It seemed that the mussel she kept was rather useful, and not just a useless gourmand.
There were many wounds on the wind caller’s body and many of them needed to be stitched.
As Gu Xijiu needed to fight her way out of the Dark Forest herself, she had a complete set of medicine and bandage as well as surgical suture and needle. She quickly helped the wind caller with its wounds…
After Si Chen stood and observed her for a moment, he went to lend her a helping hand. With a vague smile, he said, "Ah Sheng, I didn’t know you were so kind."
Gu Xijiu slightly pursed her lips but said nothing.
Even though she knew the good and the bad, she usually disliked to be nosy.
She helped the wind caller this time, because she somehow felt pleased to see it for unknown reasons…
Furthermore, she admired its character of not being subdued by force. Therefore, she tried to save it.
The windcaller also felt her kindness and finally let down its guard, allowing her to apply medicine and even to suture its wound…
However, it was still subconsciously protecting itself and disallowed anyone to touch certain parts of its front chest.
Because that part was not injured, Gu Xijiu did not pay attention to it. She was shocked to see that there was an opening out of a sudden and thus, she took few more glances at it.
