Even if he were paralyzed, the people around him would definitely take very good care of him.
Why did he need to take Yun Qingluo with him?
Celestial Master Zuo had always been unpredictable in the things that he did, so that was a question without an absolute answer.
Gu Xijiu had also dismissed the idea of visiting him as she still had her own life to live. She had to study, fight, strategize, and occasionally perform some alchemy. Half a month ago, those days were her easy days. But today, things have changed.
Yun Qingluo made her way back. She had been gone for more than a month, and now she was finally back. Celestial Master Zuo had sent her back.
Gu Xijiu had a feeling that she must have been doomed to be entangled with both of them. They were not fond of each other, but they kept bumping into one another.
It was a sunny day when Yun Qingluo came back. Gu Xijiu saw a cool ship emerging from the sky when she came out of the training room, and the only one who could fly a ship in the sky was Di Fuyi.
The moment she saw that ship, she stopped. All the students stopped and stared in awe at the ship because it was too cool.
The ship traveled all the way to the main square and stopped dozens of meters above the ground. Yun Qingluo then flew to the ground like a goddess from the Ninth Heaven.
Yun Qingluo had always been beautiful, but she was even more beautiful that day. She was wearing a dress with translucent colors. It was as though a goddess had come alive from a painting when she buoyantly flew from the skies. Her beauty was overwhelming.
Normally, Yun Qingluo would avoid applying any cosmetics. She usually presented herself naturally without many accessories.
However, she had obviously dressed herself up that day. There was a light application of powder on her face and a faint red tint on her lips. Her skin was apparently fair and white, matching up with her watery eyes.
She bowed towards the ship after she landed, "Thank you, Celestial Master Zuo."
The ship did not land, and no one else came down from the ship. There was only a clear voice that could be heard coming from the sky, "You are welcome."
The ship then left, disappearing into the clouds in the faraway skies.
Everyone thought it was a chance to see the exceptional Celestial Master Zuo, but he did not even emerge from the ship.
The ship was too high up in the sky and was covered with a layer of intricate curtains. The people could only see the four custodians. They did not even have the chance to see Celestial Master Zuo's robe.
After the ship departed, the students who were close with Yun Qingluo eagerly went forward and started bombarding her with questions.
Yun Qingluo just kept smiling and did not say much. She kept quiet about what happened in the past month. She only sighed and said, "The whole month had been… had been too exhausting."
Her words could be manipulated into many different meanings. People could easily overthink. Moreover, her legs seemed to be fairly clumsy when she landed. The scene alone could induce a lot of imaginations in the minds of the people.
Everyone seemed to catch a glimpse of the situation. Some of the curious ones even tried to get more gossips out of her and approached her by asking oblique questions. However, Yun Qingluo did not wish to express herself any further and only smiled at them.
Her eyes were sharp. She caught Gu Xijiu who was preparing to leave the scene in the midst of the moving crowds.
She moved across the crowds and greeted Gu Xijiu with a smile, "Xijiu, long time no see."
Her voice was a little hoarse but still delightful.
Gu Xijiu felt that she was either demonstrating her advantage or showing off.
Gu Xijiu was reluctant to find out what she was up to. Moreover, she was not very close to her, so she only briefly nodded at her and left.
Along the way, people gave Gu Xijiu all sorts of looks. Some were sympathetic while others were hostile.
Even Lan Waihu, who was usually sprightly and full of energy, was unusually quiet. She was careful when she talked to Gu Xijiu and read her expressions occasionally.
As for Qian Lingyu, he was like a chatterbox which kept blabbering the entire day. There was not a moment of peace around him.
Gu Xijiu did not know where he got his jokes from. Recently, he would always make her laugh every time he was around. His stories were mostly about love with couples that were forced to be torn apart. The endings would always same, concluding that there were plenty of other fish in the sea, so there was no need to keep hanging onto the same person. He made Gu Xijiu speechless.
In the end, Gu Xijiu could no longer endure his never-ending chatter and asked, "Are you trying to comfort me because you think that I am heartbroken? Let me tell you; I'm really fine. There is nothing between Celestial Master Zuo and I, so can you just stop?"
The young man was quiet for a while. Carefully, he said, "Alright, let's not talk about it. Not now, not ever."
Gu Xijiu could finally take a break and return to her usual peace of mind. The boy had finally understood her.
To her surprise, she accidentally heard Qian Lingyu telling Lan Waihu, "Do not mention Celestial Master Zuo again, not even the words 'Zuo' and 'You,' let us replace the words with one and two. One represents 'Zuo,' and two represents 'You.'"
Gu Xijiu was utterly astounded.
It was not a big deal to be heartbroken, but it would be when the whole world was talking about it.
Gu Xijiu was generally okay, but others thought that she was just pretending to be fine.
In the past three months, her team had encountered numerous fights with students from the Ziyun class. There were more wins than losses, so the results were very outstanding.
However, ever since the incident with Yun Qingluo happened, her wins or loses would often be perceived differently. When she won, they would say that she had turned her grief into her fighting spirit. Sometimes, when she lost, they would say that she was feeling too sad to concentrate.
In the end, people would always think that everything was because of her loss in love, regardless of her performance.
…
The crescent moon was partially covered by the clouds. There was a little brightness amid the dark. Gu Xijiu held her head up and looked at the moon. She then took out a mirror to look at herself and thought about it seriously. Did she really look like she was heartbroken?
After all, she used to be fond of Celestial Master Zuo. They were almost married. Under those circumstances, it was impossible for her not to feel disappointed. But was it that serious?
She had never thought to come here and look at the moon, but her two close friends were too cautious around her. They had drawn her up to the point of exhaustion, so she had to come out to take a break and reflect on herself.
If she knew things would turn out this way, she would not have said the things out of mere impulsion when she was arguing with Yun Qingluo.
Impulsion created misery.
The rock that she was sitting on was partially hanging at the edge of the cliff, like a sea rock. Although it was dangerous, the view from up there was terrific! When the weather was good, there would be layers of white fog floating around the cliffs. It was just like a wonderland.
