There was no one she could talk to other than the Firmament Stone. She felt uneasy, and finally, she asked the Firmament Stone its opinion on whether the mussel would be killed. In fact, she subconsciously wished that the Firmament Stone would refute her, even if its explanation had loopholes. She just wanted to be comforted by words.
No matter how strong she was, sometimes she would still be vulnerable. When a person does not have desires or belongings, he or she would be fearless. However, she had something she cared about now. Although the big mussel was a big eater, she cared about it a lot.
When she realized that the big mussel might be killed and stewed as soup, she was very anxious! However, the Firmament Stone was very honest, and it did not know that she was vulnerable at that moment. It echoed her words, "Master, I am not cursing the big mussel. I think it is possible that it would be killed. The people in the Tianju Hall dared not hurt you so they would redirect their frustration onto the big mussel. After all, the big mussel is a monster, and they need to be accountable to the families. Therefore, it is possible that they would kill it as a scapegoat. You said that you always heard its cries, perhaps it was already dead and came to find you. You should know that it was wronged so even after it died, it would not have a peaceful death."
Gu Xijiu was even more anxious now. She screamed again until she lost her voice. Were they planning to starve her to death here? When she thought of the fact that she might die here, she felt scared too. After all, it was not easy for her to be reborn again, and she had been working so hard for so long to improve this body.
How could she die so easily? She was not willing to die so fast! But what could she do?
She was alone here, and no one could help her. Rong Che… When she was arrested, Rong Che helped to beg Gu Canmo for mercy. However, he was rejected by Gu Canmo as this was an issue of the Tianju Hall and he should not interfere with the rules here.
Qian Lingyu? He had no right to speak out in the Tianju Hall. Somehow, she thought of Di Fuyi. She felt pain in her heart. She knew that this guy had some right to speak his mind at this place. If only he could come and help her. She did not need Di Fuyi’s help to prove her innocence. As long as she had some time to investigate, she would be able to arrest the culprit and prove her innocence! However, she had completely cut off her relationship with him. Even if he knew that she was wronged, he would not care about it.
The Lord… She did not dare to think about The Lord. This man was too elusive. It was challenging to find him, and she has not even met him in person until this day. There was no other person she could think of. Gu Xijiu closed her eyes and felt even more despaired.
She suffered alone for another two days until the evening of the fourth day. The door of her jail was opened, and someone came in. Gu Xijiu had been locked against the wall for three days and three nights now. Her body had been completely numb all this time. No one sent her any food or drinks while she was held a prisoner. Coupled with the suffering in her heart, Gu Xijiu was now semi-dazed, and she could not see clearly anymore…
"Shua! Shua!"
Two gusts of wind swept through her cell, and the iron chain on her body was cut off. She immediately collapsed. However, she did not fall on the floor, but into the arms of a man. His arms were slightly cold. She could smell a light fragrance that was quite familiar, but she could not recall where she smelled it before.
At this stage, it did not matter how the person smelled. As long as there was someone to give her back her sanity!
Gu Xijiu wanted to catch this man, but her hands and feet were all numb and were out of her control. She was nervous and afraid that the person would go away and leave her alone, so she tried to shout although her throat was hoarse. "Are you coming to judge me? Tell Gu Canmo I don’t want to be a student in the Tianju Hall anymore. I am happy to confess myself as the murderer as long as they don’t hurt the big mussel. The two men were not killed by it. If you give me two months, I will be able to find the real murderer…"
She was afraid that she would pass out before expressing herself, so she talked continuously even though she was not sure if the person with her could make out what she was saying.
Her cramped fingers tried to grab the sleeve of this man, but yet again she failed. Sweat continued to drip down her forehead.
"Don’t move." The man finally spoke. His voice was as clear as spring water, "Don’t worry, I will seek justice for you."
Gu Xijiu tried to open her eyes to see the man clearly, but she could only see white.
"The Lord, do you want me to hold Miss Gu for you?" A voice sounded at the side.
The arms that were supporting her did not let go. The man said coldly, "I don't need your help!" No one dared to talk anymore.
Was this The Lord?!
Gu Xijiu tried to open her eyes again. Was she in an illusion?
There was a cool small bottle that came close to her dry lips, "Open your mouth."
Gu Xijiu subconsciously opened her mouth. The sweet water was poured into her mouth, and the moisture aided her dry throat before sliding down into her stomach.
Although it was only a sip of water, she finally regained consciousness and had some energy in her body. She could now see the person who was holding her.
He was wearing a snow white robe and a jade white mask on his face. The mask even covered his chin. He had long white hair like silver satin hanging down his head.
From Gu Xijiu's point of view, she could only see his eyes. He had a pair of blue eyes that looked like a deep sea. When he stared at people, it was very breathtaking.
The Lord? So this is The Lord…
She did not expect him to come and rescue her. Gu Xijiu felt like she was in a dream. She tried to move; her body was still numb and sore. It felt like thousands of needles tingling in her skin.
"Are you feeling numb?" The Lord looked at her before he put his palm on her back and used his spiritual power to relieve the tingling sensation all over her body.
The Lord was holding her and walked out of the door. There were a few leaders in the Tianju Hall who followed behind him which included Gu Canmo.
Gu Canmo looked pale, and there was sweat on his forehead. He looked at Gu Xijiu who was very weak and slim in The Lord’s arm and tried to explain, "The Lord, she is the one who ordered the big mussel to kill people. I did not punish her after I caught her but just imprisoned her so that she could reflect on her sins. I did not know that she is so weak… It is my fault too. I forgot that she did not get any food yet. When I recalled it and wanted to send her food, you were already here…"
