When she wrote all that, she was not counting on a reply. It was just a warning to that individual that she knew someone was around. She wanted to force him/her out from hiding.
To her surprise, just as she finished writing, a line of words formed besides her saying, "I am nobody. I am not coming out!"
The words manifested out of thin air and arranged itself magically! This scared her.
She took a step back and looked at the words. They were beautiful written with an imposing font; the silvery alphabets blossomed in the air and slowly rotated around Gu Xijiu before they vanished.
There was a slightly chilly feeling in the air after the words vanished.
"What kind of mastery was that?!"
"It was ghostly! It was powerful!" Gu Xijiu thought to herself.
If it were someone else that encountered this eerie experience, they would have run off for their lives or be frozen in fear.
If it were someone more daring, they would have unsheathed their weapon to defend themselves or slashed at their surroundings to force the person out from hiding.
Gu Xijiu, however, just raised the corner of her lip a little bit and wrote a reply in the air, "What do you want from me then? I am not your enemy and I don’t want things to be difficult."
"Hard to say." The ghostly words appeared again, this time in a colder and darker font.
Gu Xijiu remained silent.
What did he mean when he said, ‘hard to tell’? Was he refuting "not your enemy"? Or was he refuting "make things difficult"?
"What do you mean? Forgive my ignorance, I have no idea!" Gu Xijiu replied.
"I have not decided yet"
Gu Xijiu was speechless.
"Am I your enemy?" She tried to probe.
After a moment, the person replied in a cold manner, "Hehe!"
Gu Xijiu was wondering who it could be and whether this person is her own enemy or one of the original Gu Xijiu. However, she did not know who she was talking to and she did not want to reveal her identity.
After some thought, she wrote, "There are a lot of people with similar faces, you may have mistaken me for someone else!"
As she had only been in this world for a few days, she could not remember having antagonized anybody with such a personality!
Meanwhile, she had inspected her surroundings but still could not detect anyone.
Gu Xijiu pondered for a while but could not recall anyone with the skills to manifest words out of thin air.
"I am not your enemy. I believe we just met by chance." Gu Xijiu explained.
"Is that so?" This response left an even colder feeling on her than the previous one. Gu Xijiu browsed through every single person in her mind but could recall anyone with such a skill.
As the sunlight penetrated the clouds at the break of dawn, Gu Xijiu suddenly smiled and wrote something in the air, "I can’t do anything in this situation. If you think you need revenge, I’ll accept it. But if you’ve got the wrong person, please go away as I’m not interested in playing games. Goodbye! I hope our paths never cross again!"
After she had finished writing the words she wanted to say, she turned around and teleported away and the riverbank returned to its peaceful state. A moment later, a man appeared at the riverbank.
He was wearing a ghost mask with a pair of sharp eyes. His black hair and white dress appeared to be levitating in the air as the wind blew which made him appear as a charming guy!
He stood there and watched the river with the edge of his lips tilted slightly upwards. He raised his arm slightly and the flowing water immediately became a water cyclone which overflowed to the surroundings.
A moment later, his hand was moving in the air and something was being forced up to the riverbank.
Those were the mask and clothes left behind by Gu Xijiu.
The man examined what was left behind and the way they were tied to a rock.
Gu Xijiu had a special way of getting rid of her trail marks. She tied an extremely complicated knot to make sure those things would not detach from the rock.
Upon observing the rock, the man shook his head… Apparently, he did not admire the way the knot was tied. He moved his fingers and a white light flashed around him; the clothes and mask immediately detached from the rock and even the stilts were no longer connected.
The man observed the stilts. They were not high (just about 30 centimeters), hence, it could merely turn a dwarf into a normal-looking person. If he covered it with a long dress, no one would even know he was using stilts.
The man realized Gu Xijiu was using intelligent ways to achieve her goals!
He picked up the mask and looked at it more carefully. The mask was very common and could be easily found on the street. It was not as nice as the one he had...
"Inartistic!", he shouted.
He was touching his chin in deep thought and his pupils were shining.
"This little girl does not know who has found her... She still thinks she is innocent." He said to himself.
Indeed, he would get his revenge, but he had no idea whether she could handle it...
He waved his hand again and everything immediately became nicely arranged and dry upon this action.
"Who is that!?", someone could be heard asking in the distance. Perhaps, he made too much noise or it was just time for everyone to wake up. The soldiers who were snoring on the upper end of the wall slowly opened their eyes and shouted as they looked down.
All they saw was a black suit was floating in the air as the wind was blowing.
The soldiers felt numbness in their legs as the suit fell to the ground...
