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...
The rest of the soldiers quickly tried to see what the commotion was about. Everyone was shocked when they saw it.
As the sky was still dark, none of them saw what happened after the suit fell to the ground.
A highly-skilled soldier who was an expert in Kung Fu jumped off from the high wall to check the area. Everyone was worried for him.
A moment later, the soldier appeared and took a few leaps before he flew up to the wall again. He was carrying a stack of items with him.
There was the black suit which had been stacked neatly along with a pair of stilts and a ghost mask...
"What’s this?" The leader of the soldiers asked.
The soldier knelt and reported to him, "Sir, we found it at the riverbank of the moat but we didn’t see anyone there."
The team leader asked, "Did you arrange it? This is so neat!"
"It was stacked like this and placed on a big rock."
The team leader was stunned as he looked at the clothes. It took less than half a minute from the time the suit was floating in midair to the point where the soldier jumped down from the wall. The clothes were folded and stacked so neatly that even people who specialized in ironing clothes could not complete it in such a short time...
If the moat was not haunted then there must be a legendary kind of master in the vicinity! Hence, they decided to report the situation...
...
Gu Xijiu had a good sleep in her room the entire day. No one dared to interrupt her without her permission, however, she was awake due to the noise outside in the evening.
She was a professional killer and she used to leave one eye open while she slept so that even a soft noise could draw her attention. Back then, she would never have slept for such long hours.
Upon waking up, she massaged both her temples as she felt a bit dizzy. This body was still very young and
children usually needed more sleep as they get easily tired.
It was very different from the time when she was in the modern world where she used to be very energetic even though she had not slept for three days.
She tried listening to the conversation outside and roughly got an idea of what was happening.
Her father was there together with her fifth sister, Gu Tianyi.
Since she did not tell anyone to wake her up, her servants did not welcome their visit.
Gu Xietian was mad as it was the first time he encountered such rude treatment from his daughter. Moreover, Gu Tianyi was trying to make things worse by adding fuel to the situation.
Gu Xijiu knew her servants were very firm and would not compromise or stoop to her father.
No matter how he tried to frighten or threaten them, they were very firm and they drove him mad. After a while, Gu Xietian ordered his soldiers and guards to arrest the female servants for punishment!
Gu Tianyi stood aside happily as she was upset with the servants too. "How dare those people offend father!"
Gu Xietian was a hot-tempered person as he always caned the soldiers when they did not agree with his ideas. He did improve since he was promoted to be the [1] General Biao Qi, however, his personality remained in his bones!
[1] General Biao Qi is a military title or position ranked just below or equivalent to the General of Army or highest rank of the army.
