She slowly walked back to her house and looked up to the sky. She looked at the stars and realized it was almost 1 am.
Oh, no! If it were almost 1 am, Gu Canmo would have caught them! She looked to the East and wondered why Gu Canmo had not sent out any signal. Were there random changes? That was not supposed to happen. She had planned it carefully, and it should be a perfect plan. Right at that moment, she saw a firework explode in the sky.
It was not a big one, but Gu Xijiu was delighted and acknowledged, "Got it!" And now, it was her show time! She flew into the air and away from her yard. The firework was the signal for Gu Canmo used for his subordinates. It was unique, and only a few people could see it. Gu Xijiu was one of them.
...
The Lord sat in front of a small desk in his bedroom, and there was a cup of cold tea in front of him. He tried very hard to get the tea from a perilous place a few days ago as that was his favorite tea. It was outstanding in restoring spiritual power, and there were only two days in a year that he would have the chance to pluck it. He could just extract two ounces of tea despite it being in season. Thus, he actually treasured the tea very much.
The Lord was not only fussy with the way the tea was made, the ambiance and mood while drinking the tea were also very important. As a result, he did not wish to waste a single bit of it. Perhaps something was bothering him. The way he made the tea was not as elegant as before, and the taste of tea was not as great as how it used to be. He took a sip and frowned.
After that, a pot of tea that was worth a million dollars had been left aside on the table until it was cold.
He moved his gaze to the bed and observed every single inch of the bed due to the absence of the bed drapes. There were some wrinkles on the bed sheets, and the indentation of someone lying there earlier could be seen. How could she sleep on his bed!? Especially when it was the bed of someone like him? He would not even allow other people to touch his bed.
No one even dared to enter his room, not to mention leisurely lying down on his bed. However, someone had entered his bedroom now, and she even lied on his bed!
He stood up and walked towards the bed. He looked at the bed, and then at the indentation. The image of the clumsy and nervous girl flashed across his mind. This little girl used to be calm and firm in every situation. Hence, that was the first time he saw that nervous side of her. That look made him... Made him felt like bullying her...
At that moment, he even thought of pushing her down and not care about the consequences! Fortunately, she teleported away in time, and he regained his consciousness. Otherwise, he could not even imagine the ending.
He massaged his brows and realized his strong self-control which he used to proud of was so easily ruined in front of her. That was strange though... how could a young girl have such a magical charm?
Was it because of his strong desire? Something difficult to get always seemed better. Perhaps, what his friend said was right, the more the feeling gets suppressed, the easier for it to explode. The more eager he wanted to let it go, the harder it would be.
What was wrong with him now?
He frowned and sighed. His lips curved up again as a thought donned upon him. It does not matter to him whichever condition he was facing, there was nothing he could not overcome, including his feelings. He got up and waved his sleeve. The bed sheet returned to its neat look as though no one had lied on the bed before. Even her odor had completely vanished.
Just when he was about to lie down for a short nap, he saw a firework spark in the distance which quickly subsided. He was not carrying the required tool to see the firework, but it was almost impossible to hide it from him.
He knew it was the secret signal which Gu Canmo always used to contact his people. They have probably discovered something important.
Usually, The Lord would not bother to know what happened. However, when he closed his eyes, he thought of Gu Xijiu’s action in the night market.
The little girl had performed quite well, and many people were shocked. He believed that those people would look at her differently when the sun rises again in the morning, and their prejudice would slowly disappear.
After all, people tended to admire talented and capable people. The little girl would now be a superstar in the Tianju Hall as though she were a diamond. Thus, The Lord was not surprised with her action.
However, he just did not expect her to be able to excel in such a short time. Perhaps, she did not even need his advice or intensive classes. She could still make her breakthrough even if he were not there. In this case, should he just leave now?
He raised his head and looked outside; he wondered whether the firework had something to do with Gu Xijiu. He got up and called his four messengers, "Check it out and see what Gu Canmo is doing."
The four messengers quickly left without any delay. Messenger Shangshan had returned after a short while, and he looked a bit strange, "Reporting to The Lord: the punisher of the Tianju Hall has caught a thief who stole some spiritual stones. They're interrogating him right now. However, it is not in the Penalty Hall but the Lingfeng Court…"
The Lord frowned and waited for him to continue the story. Messenger Shangshan added, "I don't know why Miss Gu went there as well. I almost crashed into her."
The Lord remained silent.
Messenger Shangshan continued to speak, "Strange... what is she doing there? Is she going to interrogate the thief? It seems unlikely as everyone in the Penalty Hall is experienced in investigating crimes. Why would they need a little girl to help? My Lord…"
He lowered his chin when he spoke and realized there was no response coming from the opposite direction. He could not help but raise his head and realize that The Lord had gone.
Messenger Shangshan was speechless.
...
Qian Lingtian was very happy, but his happiness only lasted until he got up after his Kung Fu practice. He felt really energetic, and he immediately did a backflip as he opened his eyes. However, he was utterly stunned when he saw the four people in front of him!
Four of the elders from the Penalty Department had arrived, and they looked ferocious! Subconsciously, he stepped backward and said, "Four elders, you…"
Qian Lingtian, you’re suspected to be involved in a spiritual stone theft. Let’s go!"
Qian Lingtian’s heart was pounding in his chest as he was worried they found out that he had cast a spell on Qian Lingyu! He felt relieved that it was not the case, and he immediately claimed that he was wronged and swore he did not steal any spiritual stones.
The Chief of Penalty Department laughed coldly and rushed forward to catch him. He pulled away Qian Lingtian's pendant which he always wore around his neck and then tapped on it. The pendant immediately enlarged and turned into a storage bag. He shook the bag, and thousands of spiritual stones dropped on the floor.
