Apparently, that person has tried to hide his aura, however, his natural dignity could not be masked at all. He was not challengeable.
The cart driver was a smart person; he knew that he wasn't someone to be challenged.
The fierce eyes were staring at him, driving his heartbeat to palpitate as loud as audible drumming sounds.
He said in fear, "The… The lady was resting inside the cabin! She said she was very tired and sleepy, thus needed some rest and told me not to disturb her… Why? How could she be gone now?"
The man in the veiled hat was speechless.
He was holding a cloak, a female cloak.
He was squeezing the cloak tightly to the point that it paled his nails.
Inside the cabin, the blanket was tidy and everything was neat. Apparently, the little girl had been gone for a long time.
He only found the cloak in the cabin and her scent was still on the cloak. It smelled good but the man felt slight heartache!
"Xijiu! Are you trying to avoid me?"
"I won't hurt you. I just want to bring you back to Tianwen Mountain. I only want you to see what I’ve done for you."
"Xijiu, we’ve missed each other in our previous life; I’ll never let you go again this time. Give me a chance, please…" The man thought in his mind.
He raised his hand and released a colorful tracking bird, "Find her!"
When he was about to return to his carriage, a green bird was chirping in the sky and lingered around his carriage. Later, it spits out a transparent talisman on his palm.
He touched the talisman, and a gentle voice was heard from it, "Mentor, Xixi has something to report about. Gu Xijiu has set a trap to win the battle a few days ago. I’ve been investigating her and I’m afraid, she has been possessed by an evil spirit…" That was Gu Xixi’s voice.
Gu Xixi sounded like she had many more things to say, but he had no interest to listen anymore. The sound had gone and the talisman too, had disappeared.
The man with the veiled hat was Long Siye. He took out another talisman and said, "You don’t have to say anything about her matters anymore! And I warn you, don’t ever try to set her up again! Go back to the mountain and reflect on yourself!" That was an audio talisman, it could assist in sending audios.
He passed the talisman to the green bird and it flew away after that.
He got up to the carriage and the white horse neighed. It then gallopped rapidly and disappeared within a few seconds.
The cart driver on the Crested Ibis carriage was lost for words.
He returned to the carriage as if he was still in a dream. He talked to himself, "Oh God! I’ve just met the Tianwen Overlord, and he talked to me…
He quickly ran to the cabin to check again. Unfortunately, he could not find anything despite searching for every nook and cranny.
The little girl did not seem to have left anything else except the cloak. However, she probably left the cloak here on purpose to draw someone’s attention...
"Anyway, how did she leave the carriage?"
This had confused the cart driver.
The carriage was speeding since she got into the carriage, and there was only one door! How did she even leave without showing herself? It was like she vanished into thin air!
"Is she a ghost?" The cart driver shook his head and came out from the cabin.
He was shocked when he saw someone was floating on top of the tree. He was wearing a purple robe with a ghastly mask covering his face.
He had no idea how long that person had been standing there.
He was watching the cart driver.
He did not do anything but the cart driver was already trembling.
"What’s the eighth rule in the Ecstasy House?" The man with the purple robe asked.
The cart driver was shocked and asked, "Why… Why are you asking?"
The man with the purple robe did not answer but only kept staring at him.
The cart driver felt he was frozen when he saw the man's gaze. The man with the purple robe still did not answer. He smiled and read the rule, "I should not disclose any secret of my customers without permission, neither should I judge my customer. If I was found to be guilty, I shall have my tongue cut off my mouth and three years of salaries as a penalty…"
The cart driver was frightened!
He did not expect the person in front of him to know the rules! He stepped back in terror. "How… How did you know?"
The man in purple robe interrupted, "Did you execute this alone? Or did someone help you?"
The cart driver did not answer but caned the horse's buttock!
The horse neighed and ran away.
The man in the purple robe did not chase after it.
A moment later, he heard a crash, followed by a loud scream. Something had crashed on the wall of the cliff...
The sound had stopped. Apparently, the person was dead.
The man in the purple robe smiled.
Initially, he wanted to let him go. However, he was digging a grave for himself...
He pressed onto his fingertip, and a beam of white light shone into the air.
A moment later, a young lady appeared and knelt down to greet him, "Master."
The man in the purple robe said, "Bring the carriage and the driver to the Ecstasy House. Also, tell Mother Xi that it's time to reorganize the Ecstasy House. Inform her to also bring her head to see me if there are any more mistakes in the future!"
The young lady nodded and left.
The man in the purple robe stood there for a while and blew on his black ring after glancing at it.
"Sweetheart, it’s not nice to let too many people know about your teleportation technique. You might get into trouble. I’ve been helping you settle all those small problems that had seemed to have affected my reputation…"
...
A silk robe and rich man's hat, a fat body and a moustache! That was the current disguise of Gu Xijiu.
She was sleeping soundly in a carriage with a painted eagle on the wall.
It was the best and fastest carriage in the hotel. Although it was nothing compared to the royal family’s carriage, it was a good and fast carriage nonetheless. Travelling for two thousand kilometers was not an issue for the carriage.
Of course, it was not cheap at all to hire such a good carriage. It costs 1000 dollars a day, excluding the need to pay for the driver's meals.
She was snoring in the cabin and the driver shook his head.
The driver had received an order to pay more attention to a short guy instead.
