Chapitre 617: The Lord Teased Her 3?
Éditeur: EndlessFantasy Translation
Her words sounded unintentional, but it was, in fact, a probe.
It was probably her intuition. She could sense that The Lord was actually Celestial Master Zuo's disguise, but she was unable to confirm her suspicions. Therefore, she could only try to make out the clues with her lines.
However, The Lord was always wearing a mask. She could not see his expression, so his body language was all that she could observe.
From his body language, there was nothing skeptical about The Lord as he only nodded in agreement. "The flagon is indeed exceptional. If you like it, you can try to ask him for it."
"I will possibly not get it from him," said Gu Xijiu as she coughed.
There was no certainty that she would ever see him again, let alone asking for his flagon.
"Perhaps you could get it if you play your female card and asked him in your flirtatious charming manner," said The Lord with a faint smile. "Perhaps he likes women to behave in such a manner."
"He does not seem like that," said Gu Xijiu, with her eyes widened.
"Sometimes, all you need is to try. How would you know if you never tried?" The Lord was encouraging her.
"How do you know what he likes?" asked Gu Xijiu.
"Hmm, because there is nothing that I do not know," said The Lord, beating around the bush.
"Are you especially familiar with Celestial Master Zuo, or are you equally familiar with every other heaven's gift disciple, too?"
"It seems like you are trying to find out something from me. What do you want to know?" The Lord tapped the table gently. He pondered deeply as he looked at her.
"I would like to know if the ice beauty in Long Siye’s hall is alive." Gu Xijiu finally threw out the question that she had been contemplating for a while.
There was complete silence.
The warmth in The Lord's eyes slowly faded into an icy cold gaze.
He did not speak another word. Gu Xijiu was actually a little nervous the moment she asked the question.
A few moments later, The Lord finally smiled, but he drifted away from her question as he spoke, "We were discussing the topic regarding your flirtatious behavior towards Di Fuyi, weren't we?"
Gu Xijiu trembled as she asked. "I am not qualified to ask him for anything, am I?"
"Aren’t you his fiancé?"
Gu Xijiu held her breath. It seemed like The Lord was very well-informed, but his information was not entirely up-to-date.
"We have already broken off our engagement. I have nothing to do with him anymore."
"Any regrets?"
Gu Xijiu hesitated. She was not filled with remorse. Under the circumstances that day, he was obviously the one who wished to break off the engagement with her. All he did was to make her say it out herself.
She shook her head lightly, "I have no regrets."
"Are you both still friends?" The questions from The Lord were getting more and more incisive.
Were they friends? Considerably.
Gu Xijiu was not absolutely sure. Celestial Master Zuo was too profound to be apprehended. She could barely understand him.
Although he had troubled her several times, he only did it for her own good. Therefore, they could still be friends.
She nodded, "We should… should be considered friends?" There was uncertainty in her voice.
"Considered?" The Lord repeated her words. His voice flickered a little, "Are you really reluctant to admit it?"
"I am not reluctant, it's… it's just that I really do not understand him," said Gu Xijiu wryly, with a bitter smile.
The Lord laughed. "So you are trying to understand him!"
It was only a simple explanation, but it became slightly ambiguous after The Lord had repeated it.
A cold sweat broke out. Gu Xijiu did not know how the topic could be drifted away to such an extent and took a bizarre turn. She was determined to bring back the previous subject. With a cough, she said, "My Lord, I remember that we were previously discussing Celestial Master Zuo's flagon."
"Hmm, yes, the flagon. You seem to be really fond of his flagon. It is easy for you to obtain. I can take charge and marry you to him. Then, I can ask him to make the flagon an engagement gift for you."
Gu Xijiu did not know what to say.
Chapitre 618: You Seem Energetic

Gu Xijiu almost burst out laughing. Without hesitation, she rejected the offer, "Thank you very much, My Lord, but I do not wish to pledge my life a mere flagon."
The Lord did not speak any further.
It seemed like her reply was within his expectations. He looked down and quietly took a sip of his tea.
Her heart skipped a beat upon hearing the offer - one that she had rejected it almost instantaneously.
She knew it very well that The Lord could easily make it happen. Even though Celestial Master Zuo did not approve of their marriage anymore, there was no way he could reject the offer if The Lord had made his decision.
However, she did not wish to make him agree under duress.
But, how did she come up with the word ‘under duress?
Was it because she actually wanted to marry him, at the bottom of her heart? She only rejected the offer because she did not wish to force him to the agreement.
Her hand froze whilst holding the cup of tea.
Both of them sat wandering into their own thoughts for a while. An awkward silence slowly crept up upon them.
Oh no, she had almost forgotten all about the topic at hand, due to several interruptions.
"About that… My Lord, you have yet to answer my questions." Gu Xijiu was finally bringing back the subject of their conversation.
The Lord was rather bewildered. "Hmm?"
His gaze was a little misty in his blue eyes. For a moment, he did not seem like The Lord who was high up on the pedestal and sharp-tongued. Instead, he was just like a lost, innocent child.
Gu Xijiu’s heart throbbed at the thought of The Lord.
However, The Lord was still The Lord. He only remained so for a split second and returned immediately to his usual behavior. His gaze returned to its usual intensity. With a smile, he said, "What is the problem? Did I promise to answer any of your questions?"
Gu Xijiu was worried that he would go back on his words. "I asked you those questions when we were outside just now. You asked me to follow you."
"Yes, I only asked you to come for tea and I did not promise to answer your questions. Now that you have had your tea, you seem energetic enough to run for a few rounds." The Lord stood up and said, "I need a rest and you may go now."
He was being so difficult.
Gu Xijiu clenched her fists.
The Lord looked at her face and asked, "Are you not convinced?"
Gu Xijiu said nothing back.
The Lord continued, "You may hit me if you are unconvinced."
Gaping and speechless, Gu Xijiu was at a loss for words. She had never thought that The Lord would act in such a shameless manner.
"My Lord, was the one behind the scenes too strong for me to contend with? Therefore, there is no need for me to find out who he is, as there is nothing I can do. Is this why you have been avoiding my question and not telling me the truth?"
The Lord sighed. "He is indeed not your match. You are not on the same level."
"Then, who exactly is he? You should at least tell me so I can be prepared," said Gu Xijiu, not letting it go.
The Lord looked at her for a brief moment and suddenly asked, "Where did you learn the venomous spell?"
This time, Gu Xijiu withheld nothing and decided to make it clear, "My Lord, if I answer you, will you please answer my question in return?"
"Are you trying to bargain with me?"
"One question in return for another question, fair and square. This is an honest deal." Gu Xijiu insisted.
"Not a lot of people have the opportunity to bargain with me. You are really something else - how audacious! However, I'm in a really good mood today so there is no big deal exchanging a question with you. You must first tell me the master of the succession for your venomous spell. I will then tell you what I saw from Qian Lingtian."
It was rare for The Lord for being so straightforward, so Gu Xijiu talked about the history of her learning without further ado.
She had befriended someone who was a master in venomous spells in the modern times. She thought it was fun, so she decided to learn a few types, too. She was a natural learner.
