When the sunrise broke into the horizon, Gu Xijiu was already sitting in Di Fuyi’s ship and they were traveling eastward.
Other than the four disciples as the rowers, there were three more people in the ship - Di Fuyi, Gu Xijiu, and Yun Qingluo.
Yun Qingluo was invited to be the witness.
The ship was quite big, which could fit a small table with a tableful of desserts.
Three of them were sitting in front of the desk.
Di Fuyi looked very professional today and only sat there silently.
Gu Xijiu did not talk much as well. She sat opposite Di Fuyi and she was thinking of her action plans.
Yun Qingluo talked once in a while, in her attempts to ease the awkward silence.
The ship was moving quite fast. However, there was a windscreen which helped to keep Gu Xijiu warm.
It was a lie if she was not nervous.
After all, it was a scary place that stressed everyone out when they heard about it. Although Gu Xijiu had been well prepared, it was still a question whether she would manage to escape.
Gu Xijiu looked at Di Fuyi as she recalled the incident from last night.
He was looking at her while he pondered.
His pupils were so dark which made her feel like she was drowning every time they looked at each other. Thus, she moved her gaze away.
Di Fuyi looked at her and asked, "Have you prepared any food?"
"Yes, a little."
"What have you prepared?" Di Fuyi was keen to know.
It was beyond her expectations. She stopped and then said, "Some dried food and salt."
Although she had brought her storage bag, the bag was just of average quality, which could not fit too many things. She brought a tent and a few sets of clothes. It was already full after she stuffed a few weapons into the bag. Since there was limited space, she had to plan what to bring and give up some unnecessary items.
There were many wild beasts in the Dark Forest and she was quite good at hunting. Thus, she thought she could just grill the hunted animals as her food and did not bring much food except some seasonings.
Di Fuyi immediately caught her deep in thoughts, "You really thought you will have the time to grill any food?"
Gu Xijiu remained silent. She knew there would be many fierce beasts, however, there should be no problem for her to grill a rabbit if she could find a safer place.
Di Fuyi looked at her again for a short while, "I thought you’re quite close to Rong Jialuo? How come he didn’t tell you about the situation? What kind of friend is he?"
"He did. He told me a lot." Gu Xijiu tried to protect Rong Jialuo.
"A lot means nothing now!" Di Fuyi was mad.
Gu Xijiu remained silent.
"These are what you’ve prepared in the last six months?" Di Fuyi said with a dissatisfied tone.
Gu Xijiu was speechless. She noticed Di Fuyi was being unreasonable as though he had just swallowed a few bullets.
However, that sounded like he was being cared for. Thus, Gu Xijiu decided to let him be, "I feel these are sufficient. There’s food, medicines, drugs… I’ll be more careful when I’m there."
She even prepared a sleeping bag and a tent! The snscreen was in her bag as well!
Di Fuyi stretched his hand out, "Give me your storage bag!"
"Why?" Gu Xijiu held her storage bag tightly as everything inside were her assets to escape from the Dark Forest! What if he destroys everything?
Di Fuyi did not even have the mood to explain it to her. He flipped his sleeve and the storage bag appeared on his palm.
Gu Xijiu did not speak but nervously stared at the bag in his palm.
Di Fuyi opened her storage bag and took a look inside. He inserted his hand into the bag and dug it. He then smiled evilly.
Yun Qingluo asked curiously, "What did she bring?" She then leaned her body forward and thought she could take a look as well.
Di Fuyi glared at her and his aura was enough to stop her. She immediately sensed the warning and smiled reluctantly, "I was just curious."
Di Fuyi smiled, "Seems like you’re quite keen to know more about the Dark Forest huh?"
Yun Qingluo shivered as he smiled. However, she did not want to disclose her weakness, "In fact, I was prepared to be sent to the Dark Forest before the test. Fortunately, I’m the heaven gift’s disciple and lost the chance."
Di Fuyi was taking out some of the items from Gu Xijiu’s storage bag. He then looked at Yun Qingluo, "Do you really want to go in?"
Yun Qingluo did not dare answer.
"I could send you to the fifth peak if you would like to try."
Yun Qingluo smiled reluctantly again, "Celestial Master must be kidding. I think I can try the fourth peak based on my Kung Fu, the fifth peak seems a little dangerous."
Di Fuyi said coldly, "I’ve never joked with you. If you have been proven to be a fake heaven gift’s disciple, I would destroy your spiritual power and send you to the fifth peak as all fake disciples have been sent to the same place."
Yun Qingluo remained silent.
She did not wear a mask this time. Her eyebrows were as beautiful framing her watery eyes. It was exactly what people had imagined. She was amazingly beautiful!
Based on the judgment in Gu Xijiu’s mind, she was as pretty as the ‘Little Dragon Lady’ (a character in the Chinese Wuxia novel).
That was the impression given when Gu Xijiu came up to the ship.
Everyone likes to admire beauty, including Gu Xijiu.
Such a pretty lady would normally gain love and protection from everyone.
Even the robbers would be gentle and polite if they happened to see such a beautiful lady.
Unexpectedly, Di Fuyi was an idiot who did not know how to cherish such a valuable pearl! How could he have such a ruthless plan for her?
Yun Qingluo was hurt as her face turned pale. She smiled and said, "Fortunately… Fortunately, I’m the real one."
She then took a glance at Gu Xijiu, "If Miss Gu was found to be a fake heaven's gift disciple and also not the disciple of The Lord, would Celestial Master Zuo destroy her Kung Fu and cast her away to the fifth peak?"
Her words weighed some challenging elements.
Gu Xijiu frowned and took a glance at Yun Qingluo.
She realized that this lady’s personality was not as nice as her appearance was.
Di Fuyi began to take out the objects from Gu Xijiu’s storage bag again and replied, "She’s The Lord’s disciple, hence, your statement is untrue."
Yun Qingluo looked downwards and smiled when she raised her head again, "Qingluo was just asking, I didn’t mean to challenge anyone."
She stretched out her hand and opened her palm, there were two light purple talismans on her palm, "Miss Gu, these are third-grade thunder talismans. You could throw this out to initiate a thunder if you’re in danger. Even if the thunder did not strike the target, it could help in scaring the beasts away. It’s just a small gift from me."
