Among the four, one was the mighty Lord, one was the Overlord of the Tianwen clan, one was The Lord’s disciple, and one was a prince. Gu Xijiu felt sorry for Rong Che. He came all the way to deliver her pet, but he was wronged and asked to make the tea. She was the host here. Hence, she should be the one making the tea. Therefore, occasionally, she helped to pass him the teacups.
Rong Che was quite relaxed about the situation. He smiled as usual, just like a polite man. There was no annoyance on his face, and every single movement he made with the tea was as nice as a dance.
Long Siye seemed to be bothered by something. He did not focus even when he was drinking the tea. Occasionally, he took a glimpse at Gu Xijiu.
Gu Xijiu responded accordingly and drank the tea mindfully. While they were enjoying the tea, Long Siye asked, "My Lord, since you’re staying here, why not ask Headmaster Gu to arrange another place for Miss Gu, so that you can focus on your practice and also…"
Before he could finish, The Lord interrupted, "She stays in the courtyard behind this one." He had already made all the arrangements, the four messengers would stay in the front courtyard, the middle courtyard would be his temporary accommodation, and Gu Xijiu was arranged to stay in the back courtyard. Therefore, all three courtyards were occupied.
Long Siye stopped and continued, "Since My Lord decided to stay here, why not I be your custodian?"
Rong Che also quickly offered himself, "I’m willing to be your custodian too, My Lord."
The Lord remained silent for a short while and then asked, "What are you worried about?"
Long Siye and Rong Che could not say a word. Both of them wanted to explain, but The Lord had issued an order, "It’s late. Get out."
No one would dare to disobey The Lord’s order. Therefore, Long Siye and Rong Che made their move even though they were not willing to leave. As it was already nightfall, Rong Che could not leave so he stayed over with Yan Chen again. On the other hand, Long Siye went to the house which Gu Canmo prepared for him. The Tianju Hall had finally returned to its silence.
"My Lord, are you still suspecting Rong Che?" Gu Xijiu asked.
"Uhh, why say so?"
"You kept staring at Rong Che when he was making the tea. You paid so much attention, did you try to see whether he was hiding any skills?
"You’re really smart." The Lord did not deny.
"Then, have you found anything? I did observe his movements too, everything was normal."
Gu Xijiu had tea together with Rong Che a few times; she knew his usual procedures. It was difficult to change one’s habits for making tea, and everyone had different ways to make tea so it would be obvious.
"Are you very close to him?"
"We’ve met a few times for tea together when we were still in the capital city. He was quite nice to me and helped me a few times." Gu Xijiu did not hide the relationship between Rong Che and her.
The Lord looked at her for a short while and casually said, "You wouldn’t know."
Gu Xijiu had no idea what was wrong with her as her blood was boiling. She would not allow anyone to backstab her friends.
Gu Xijiu said, "I trust him!"
The Lord’s finger knocked on the tea plate and asked, "So, you don’t believe me?"
Gu Xijiu was speechless. She pondered and then refuted, "I trust you, but I also believe my friend is innocent!"
The Lord seemed to be tired. He waved her hand, "It’s quite late already, go back and rest. I need to meditate and gather Hu Qingqing’s souls tonight."
Gu Xijiu twitched her lips and bid goodbye.
Before she left, she turned back and caught a glimpse.
The Lord was sitting there with his eyes closed. His hair was snowy white, resembling a glowing waterfall.
It was just an average scene but Gu Xijiu felt somewhat pitiful.
Did he feel lonely? He was such a mighty person but was forlorn and friendless.
It was just like one of the characters in the novel of Jin Yong, Du Gu Qiubai...
...
She was idling and almost crashed into messenger Shangshan who came in a hurry. Subconsciously, she tried to avoid and messenger Shangshan did the same. Therefore, both of them still crashed into one another...
Gu Xijiu crashed into messenger Shangshan’s arms and he almost got flung away.
Messenger Shangshan was shocked and quickly held her. He then jumped backward but accidentally tripped on the pavement and fell.
Gu Xijiu was speechless.
Although they were not supposed to have physical contact and it was normal for messenger Shangshan to avoid her, but his reaction was a bit too much.
At that very moment, she was thinking about messenger Shangshan's reaction. He had already reported to The Lord, "My Lord, Yun Qingluo is seeking for entry approval."
Gu Xijiu slowed her footsteps down; why would Yun Qingluo come at this time?
The Lord casually said, "Tell her that she is not qualified to see me now."
Messenger Shangshan responded and was ready to leave.
"As the messenger still so clumsy, I'll mince your hands and legs if you crash into someone again." The Lord said casually, but what he said had made messenger Shangshan shiver.
Was The Lord upset that he crashed into Gu Xijiu? *Sniff*… he did not mean to do so, it was an accident.
Messenger Shangshan was sad and left after responding to The Lord.
He felt a bit upset. Initially, he did not want to report when Yun Qingluo came, but she kept mentioning that she was the heaven’s gift disciple and had to pay a visit since The Lord was here.
The Lord told them how all the heaven’s gift disciples were vital, and that they must report it as soon as possible. Therefore, he quickly reported it but returned with a lot of accusations!
...
Initially, Gu Xijiu wanted to return to her courtyard to rest. However, she thought about the mussel, Lu Wu, and Wind Caller.
Since she was saved from prison, she had not had the chance to talk to them yet, especially the mussel, it must be starving. She wondered whether it thought of eating humans...
She came to the foreyard in hopes of picking all three up.
However, she could not find the three of them. Messenger Chenge told her that the mussel had fed itself a lot of food, but it felt that the bad luck was still attached to itself so it went to the stream for a bath. Not only the mussel, but the Wind Caller and Lu Wu had also tagged along… They insisted to wash up before they see their master...
Gu Xijiu left the foreyard and walked towards the brook.
Right after she stepped out of the main entrance, she saw messenger Shangshan asking Yun Qingluo to leave.
Yun Qingluo was wearing a light purple dress, and had light makeup on. Apparently, she had put some effort to dress up before she came.
It made Gu Xijiu thought of a phrase, ‘Meeting her Lord with crescent brows’.
She did not want to talk to Yun Qingluo, so she walked very quickly. However, Yun Qingluo spotted her and greeted, "Miss Gu…"
Gu Xijiu was lazy to talk to her, hence, she nodded in acknowledgement and walked towards the brook.
"Miss Gu, can we go for a walk together?" Yun Qingluo asked and hurried her footsteps even before Gu Xijiu even had the chance to reply.
