Where was she trained to be an assassin and what were her strengths? Was there anyone she trusted? Where did she learn all her medical knowledge? Who was her master in Kung Fu?
Gu Xijiu felt like she had a headache, but she could not escape from those questions. Because of all those questions, the image of Long Xi appeared in her head again. It was her taboo, a person she did not want to talk about so that she could avoid the pain.
When she was thinking of creating another lie to entertain The Lord, he said, "Gu Xijiu, I won’t blame you if you come clean to me regardless of what you’ve gone through previously. It’s fine even if you’ve killed someone. However, if you’re trying to lie, I’ll make your life as difficult as I can!"
Gu Xijiu was speechless. Fine, The Lord was not easy to be tricked. She would get caught even if there was a very tiny flaw. Thus, she did not want to hide from him. Therefore, she told him everything except the clone part. She told him about the assassin training camp, about Long Xi and the science organization, and she also mentioned about Ye Hongfeng... But she slightly twisted the truth of how she died. She said Long Xi’s fiancee was ill and needed her heart. Hence, Long Xi drugged her, and she fainted...
The Lord listened until the end and then asked, "What’s the relationship between you and Ye Hongfeng?"
"Uhh?" Gu Xijiu was shocked.
"How could she use your heart? Based on what I know, only the identical twins could exchange hearts."
Gu Xijiu smiled awkwardly as they were not only twins but clones... However, The Lord might not know what a clone was even though he was very knowledgeable. It was very complicated and troublesome to explain the concept. Thus, she nodded, "We’re considered as special twins."
The Lord looked at her and asked, "Did your previous body look exactly like your current one?"
Gu Xijiu shook her head and answered, "Partially similar; there are quite many differences though."
The Lord remained silent.
The Firmament Stone could not help but secretly complain, "Master, you’ve told him everything, what if he put you in danger in the future?" That was its first time seeing its master comes clean to someone...
Gu Xijiu replied it, "He doesn’t need any excuse to kill me."
Yes, he could kill her anytime... Moreover, Gu Xijiu had very good instincts, she knew The Lord would not hurt her. He even pampered her earlier despite knowing that she was not from this place. He was trustworthy.
She had too many secrets and too many burdens. Sometimes, she really needed someone to listen to her. Since she felt secure with The Lord and she was forced to speak of her origins, she decided to tell him everything.
"What happened to Long Xi?" The Lord asked, and he continued, "You don't look like a person who would just let anyone stab you without a counterattack."
"I stabbed his left chest when he lost focus, probably… dead." Gu Xijiu had lost her consciousness after she stabbed Long Xi. Hence, she did not actually see him die.
Left side? The Lord frowned, as he knew Long Siye’s heart grew slightly to the right...
"You loved him very much?"
Gu Xijiu was shocked. Did she? She did not know now. However, she did think of growing old and dying together with him. It was a stable and warm feeling when she was together with Long Xi. Since her life was full of darkness, she liked the warmth and relied on it. She did not want to lose it once she had it.
Gu Xijiu now realized that it was just her feelings. In the end, the entire fiasco was just a show directed by Long Xi. Strangely, she used to feel very sad and even had a heartache every single time she thought about the betrayal. Usually, she would feel pain, mad, and irritated, as though someone has poked a needle into her heart. However, this time was different. Although she still felt a bit sad, it was less painful. Perhaps the wound was going to heal. Perhaps time was the best medicine for grief, and the pain was slowly fading away.
She remained silent for quite a while. The Lord’s gaze seemed to be weird and then cold. "Is this a very difficult question?"
Gu Xijiu has finally regained her consciousness and smiled, "Love or not; it doesn’t matter anymore. It is over, and we will no longer be together. Oh ya, My Lord, I thought we were supposed to talk about the culprit?What do you think about my analysis earlier?" She tried to distract him.
"Your analysis is quite good." The Lord stood up, "Gu Xijiu, you’re quite smart huh? Let’s go!" He walked away.
What kind of answer was that!? Gu Xijiu was annoyed, but she could only follow him.
...
Gu Xijiu knew The Lord had ordered his messengers to build a house. However, she did not manage to see the design as she had to follow The Lord in a hurry. In her heart, she wished the new house was made of bricks, and the roof was made of tiles. Perhaps, a fence around the house would be great. However, when she saw the building from far, she realized The Lord had built a garden for her!
There were three entrances and three exits with a basilica in each courtyard. Every basilica was different but overall looked perfect!
There was even a training field! A brook was built and extended to the backyard. There were many different flowers in the backyard with an arc-shape stone bridge above the brook. Many fishes were swimming in the brook when they arrived.
Gu Xijiu and The Lord were standing on a small hill. They were watching the entire compound and Gu Xijiu was amazed by the scene.
He deserved to be a god! And his messengers were like his fairies! Amazing! It must be built by wizards! Otherwise, how could they build such a nice mansion in two hours!?
A few people were standing in front of the main entrance. When she looked properly, she realized Long Siye was there! He was there! And Rong Che! He came back!
Of course, Gu Canmo and the other elders were there as well.
The main door was closed, and a few of them were standing outside. She did not know what were they talking about, but it seemed to be a pleasant conversation.
Gu Xijiu wanted to go down, but she stopped after she recognized them.
"You’re afraid of Long Siye?" The Lord asked.
Are you kidding? She did not owe him anything! Gu Xijiu twitched her mouth and smiled, "Why should I? You overthink."
"Great, let’s go down." The Lord pulled her and flew down.
Gu Xijiu felt that The Lord must have used certain skills related to teleportation as she felt her vision was blurry when he began to fly. However, when she could see clearly again, they had landed in front of the mansion.
Everyone knelt down to greet The Lord. Gu Xijiu did not want their greeting, so she quickly moved away. However, she did not know her waist string got tied together with the ones on The Lord’s robe. She was not able to move away but instead fell into The Lord’s arm.
