Gu Xijiu counted from one to five and told him, "This is five seconds."
The Lord nodded, "Two seconds will be enough." As long as he had two seconds he would be able to protect her.
Gu Xijiu was happy and smiled, "If that is the case, I am not worried anymore. Lord, I can forsee if he will be exploding five seconds ahead of time."
"Good." The Lord nodded, "Stand next to me and don’t run around."
"Okay!" Gu Xijiu obediently stood close to him and the gap between them was closer by half a foot.
The Lord felt warm when he saw her obedient and cute demeanour. He rose his hand and pulled her closer by another half a foot.
...
After 15 minutes, when Gu Canmo and the rest could not find Gu Xijiu and planned to go into the hall to find her, The Lord walked out from the hall with Gu Xijiu.
Gu Canmo was surprised and immediately ran over. Before he saluted, The Lord immediately interrupted him, "You don’t have to salute anymore. Please go and deal with Qian Lingtian according to the school rules." Then he turned and left.
Gu Canmo and the rest looked at each other before rushing into the hall together.
Qian Lingtian was lying on the floor like a pile of mud. Apparently, he was scared and thus perspired heavily. When Gu Canmo ran into the hall, he was not even aware of it and kept muttering, "They really did what the little girl had said… They actually successfully did it…. haha … I am not exploding… That little girl is really good…"
Gu Canmo and everyone remained silent.
Gu Canmo took a deep breath and asked, "Did they use the method created by Gu Xijiu?"
Qian Lingtian ignored him and kept laughing like an idiot, "I did not die… Haha… finally, I don't have to die…"
One of the elder discipline gurus picked him up, "Since the spell had been removed, you should confess properly. How did you get all the spiritual stones? Who gave the venomous worm to you? Are there any other things that the person had asked you to do? I have so many questions to ask you! It's okay if you don’t confess. I have ways to make you reveal the truth.
"I will tell! I will tell! You don’t need to use any means of punishment. I will tell you the whole truth." Qian Lingtian did not fear for anything anymore.
Since he was not threatened by the spell, he was not scared anymore. Moreover, his memory had been read by The Lord so it had no difference whether he told the truth or not. It would be better if he showed a good attitude and earned some good marks from the teachers.
Therefore he happily shared everything that he knew to Gu Canmo and the other teachers.
In fact, what he knew was very limited. The issue that he shared was not clear too, so nothing progressed any better even after listening to the story.
The truth was, when Qian Lingtian entered Tianju Hall, he was quite depressed although he looked normal.
One night, there was a white-robed man appearing in his backyard. The man wrapped himself completely until he could not differentiate whether the man was a male or female. That person asked if Qian Lingtian wanted to be stronger, and he definitely wanted to. Then that person gave him two venomous pills and asked him to eat one and gave Qian Lingyu the other one.
In addition, in order to maintain the validity of the venomous pill, he had to persistently take the flaming pill. That person could keep providing him the pills and spiritual stones but the condition was that Qian Lingtian needed to provide him with the information of Tianju Hall.
Each time the white man appeared, he came and left very fast so even if he wanted to track him down, he could not do so.
Gu Canmo frowned. Apparently, this man had a bad motive but he did not know who he was.
Gu Canmo frowned. Apparently, this man had a bad motive but he did not know who he was. What was his purpose of obtaining information about Tianju Hall? What was his relationship with the green-clothed man?
There were countless mysteries in everyone’s minds but it still remained unresolved.
This case seemed to have settled but the culprit behind it was still yet to be caught. It became more complicated and confusing at this point.
However, the good news was the thorn in Tianju Hall had been taken out. Qian Lingyu had turned back to normal so it was still considered a happy event.
...
The sky had been dark when Gu Xijiu followed The Lord to her house.
She was exhausted the whole day and she felt somewhat sleepy. However, she was still keen to ask The Lord about the results after reading Qian Lingtian's memory.
But The Lord obviously did not want to talk about it. When they returned to the backyard, he waved his hand and asked Gu Xijiu to go back and rest, while he walked back to his own house.
Gu Xijiu did not give up. She was nervous and immediately pulled The Lord’s sleeve, "Lord, what did you see from his memory? Who is the culprit behind all these events? What is his modus operandi? Are there any other accomplices?
The Lord looked at her hand on his sleeve. This little girl was getting more comfortable when she was with him. She actually dared to pull his sleeve…
Gu Xijiu also looked at her hand and she was stunned. She immediately let go of his sleeve.
She did not like to have physical contact with a man. Usually, she would only pat a man on the shoulder if he was her close friend.
She had always respected The Lord. Although she did not like to worship him like how other people did, she still respected him and never had physical contact with him.
This time she actually pulled The Lord’s sleeve like a granddaughter asking for candy from a grandfather…
She felt embarrassed!
The Lord’s eyesight was very aggressive. When he looked at Gu Xijiu, her heartbeat raced.
However, she did not want to give up. Although she had let go of his sleeve, she still looked up at him and waited for an answer.
"Do you really want to know?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, come with me." The Lord held her hand and walked into his house.
His big hand was warm and dry while her hand was small.
Gu Xijiu’s heartbeat raced even more. Subconsciously, she wanted to get rid of him but he held her tightly and she was not able to withdraw her hand from his.
She could not use her inner strength because it would seem too obvious. She also doubted if she had the ability to let go of him.
When Gu Xijiu was struggling, she had been brought into The Lord’s house.
What was even worse was she was now in his bedroom.
When she saw the big bed, her face was warm because she recalled the scene when she accidentally fell on his bed.
Especially when she saw the empty bed frame and thought of the whereabouts of that bed drapes, her face flushed even more!
The Lord did not stop and kept walking to the bed.
Gu Xijiu was panicking!
She stopped and said, "Lord, can you tell me here?"
She was worried that The Lord would pull her over so she quickly sat down on a chair and did not move again.
