There was a young man standing not too far away behind her. He was handsome and tall. This young man was Yan Chen.
She did not know how long he had stood there and how much he had heard. When Gu Xijiu looked at him, he slightly frowned and looked serious. Although he did not talk, she felt like he looked at her like a badass.
Gu Xijiu was experiencing a headache. What she wanted to do was just a simple jogging.
She was too lazy to care about them so she turned to continue running.
Yan Chen chased after her and blocked her way. Fortunately, Gu Xijiu had prepared for it and she was able to stop, "What are you doing?"
Yan Chen glanced at her, "Gu Xijiu, let me give you an advice. In Tianju Hall, you not only need to have great ability but also have good attitude and intention."
Obviously, he was trying to say that she had a bad attitude and intentions. Gu Xijiu laughed, "Let me also give you an advice. Don't judge a book by its cover or else you will be easily deceived by someone else. Also, I feel that my intentions are very positive, I have a clear conscience!" Then she bypassed him and continued to run.
...
After Gu Xijiu finished the lap and returned to her yard, she met Messenger Shangshan. He was here purposely to tell her the good news. Just like what Yun Qingluo told her, she did not need to go through those tests anymore and could enter Liuyun class directly.
He even sent her clothes to wear specifically for the Liuyun class and some of the application tools.
"Miss Gu, from today onwards you are the student of Liuyun class. The Lord asked me to tell you to learn well and to not be ashamed." Messenger Shangshan advised.
Gu Xijiu remained silent. She thought of something, "Where is The Lord?"
"The Lord had left. He said that you are on your own now. You cannot rely on him forever."
Gu Xijiu was stunned. She finally realized that the conversation she had with Yun Qingluo was not only heard by Yan Chen but also The Lord…
What would The Lord think of her now?
Did he know that she said that just to make Yun Qingluo angry?
Gu Xijiu clenched her fingers.
She did not care how other people would look at her even if those people had misunderstood her, but now she was concerned about his perception of her…
Perhaps, The Lord was the only person in the world who she trusted and wanted to rely on; he was someone who made her feel safe and secure when he was by her side…
She was always a strong woman in front of all other people like a female warrior who never gave up, except that when she was in front of The Lord, she felt like a favored child. She could remove all her tough and strong masks and be herself freely…
"What else did The Lord say?" Gu Xijiu felt that The Lord should have some other advice for her.
"The Lord also said that from today onwards your status is equally the same as other students in the Liuyun class and should not have special treatment anymore. All the students in the Liuyun class are staying at College Qin in Fengshang Valley. You will move in with them. Headmaster Gu has arranged the necessary for you. All you need to do is to pack your things here." Messenger Shangshan continued to pass the message.
Gu Xijiu remained silent.
She knew that he would leave because it was impossible for him to stay here for too long.
However, she never expected that he would leave so quietly. They even had a long conversation the night before and even asked her to go to his place to drink more frequently. Everything changed after she came back from the run.
Was it because of the conversation she had with Yun Qingluo?
Did he also think that she had an unfavorable attitude and intention?
She felt sad in her heart but still remained calm in her expressions, "What about this place?"
"It will be destroyed." Messenger Shangshan answered in a short and simple way, "The Lord said that there is no need to keep this place."
"Well, as you wish! I will go and pack now!" Gu Xijiu turned and walked to her backyard.
This was the place that he asked people to build, so he had the right to destroy it too. As he was a god, he could do anything he wished.
It was true that something could be built very fast but could also be destroyed just as quickly. She used to think that this place could be her shelter but it seemed like it was just temporary…
"Do you want me to help you?" The Messenger Shangshan tried to offer his help.
"No, I don't have much stuff." Gu Xijiu turned and walked away.
Messenger Shangshan looked at her back and had a complicated feeling. He thought that this little girl would be very disappointed after he delivered the message. He never expected that she would be so calm throughout the conversation.
It was easy to upgrade one's self from economy to luxury, but it was hard to adapt from economy from luxury. When a person was used to being pampered, she would take it for granted.
When all the special treatments were taken away, the disappointment should be great and it would feel like falling from heaven back to earth. However, this little girl was different. She didn't even ask why...
...
The Lord was standing in a bamboo forest. He was holding a bamboo on his left hand and a knife on his right hand to engrave it. He was making a bamboo flute and it was almost done.
Messenger Shangshan was finally back. He stood behind The Lord to report, "My Lord, I have passed your message to Miss Gu. She has moved to Fengshang Valley and the house has been demolished."
"What did she say?" The Lord casually asked.
Messenger Shangshan took out a sound recorder spell, "I am very forgetful recently, so I have recorded our conversation. Lord, please listen to it."
He then switched on the sound recorder spell and played the conversation he had with Gu Xijiu…
The Lord was still cutting the bamboo and she was not sure if he was listening.
After a moment, the sound recorder spell stopped. The Lord looked up and stared at the sound recorder spell on Messenger Shangshan's hand, "That's all?"
"Yes, that's all."
"What did she take when she left?"
"Her personal belongings. She did not take any other things with her."
"What about the tea I asked you to give her?"
"When I gave it to her, she said thank you but the tea was too precious and it was The Lord's favorite tea. She did not dare to accept it. Oh yeah, she even repaired the bed drapes and asked me to pass them to you."
Messenger Shangshan took out the neatly folded bed drapes from his storage bag and handed it to The Lord.
When The Lord opened the bed drapes, the place where it was once torn was revealed.
Gu Xijiu was talented in sewing. The torn place was not neatly stitched with a special way. She might think that it did not look good with just a simple stitching so she also sewed a crane on it. The crane was grey and black in color, and it was flying with its wings opened.
There was actually a landscape painted on the bed drapes, so the crane Gu Xijiu sewed actually quite matched the original painting. As the neck of the crane was sewed on the torn spot, it was no longer obvious and did not look like it had been stitched.
"My Lord, the girl is quite good; look at the sewing… Although her sewing skills are not that good, she sewed it genuinely…"
"How long did she take to sew this?"
"About an hour…"
"How long did you take to demolish the house?"
"About an hour…"
"You were there for about an hour, which means when she was sewing this when you were demolishing the house?"
