She knew that his whereabouts were still a mystery. He had only made his appearance once in the Feixing Kingdom over the past few months. That was already two months ago.
She heard that it was because of a dispute that he had with Celestial Master You and Tian Jiyue. They had even fought with each other, but none of them had benefited from the fight. Tian Jiyue was severely injured, so he shut his door and declined to see any visitors.
Di Fuyi was allegedly injured, too. He had been making his recovery in Fucang Hall and never came out.
When she heard that he was injured, she could feel her heart shatter a little. She had a strong urge to go and visit him.
Just when she was contemplating whether to turn her urge into action, Mu Feng suddenly arrived and said that Celestial Master Zuo had requested to see Yun Qingluo.
When Mu Feng arrived, Gu Xijiu was studying her opponent's tactics in the training room with Qian Lingyu and Lan Waihu, so she did not see him coming. When she finally heard about it, Yun Qingluo had already left with Mu Feng a few hours ago.
Yun Qingluo had made a good recovery over the past few months. Her power had almost been restored to its fullest strength. She bid farewell to her classmates before she left.
Gu Xijiu heard about the heated discussion among her classmates when she came out of the training room. They were talking about how Celestial Master Zuo had been treating the heaven's gifted disciple differently from the rest. Perhaps it was true that only people with equal rank were able to marry one another.
Someone had even brought up the rumors between Celestial Master Zuo and Yun Qingluo that they had heard of before. Celestial Master Zuo was said to be fond of Yun Qingluo, but due to his engagement with Gu Xijiu, he could not fully express himself.
However, since the engagement between Celestial Master Zuo and Gu Xijiu had broken off, maybe he felt that it was time to confess his feelings to Yun Qingluo.
There were even some speculations suggesting that by the time Yun Qingluo was back, she could already be the wife of Celestial Master Zuo.
The discussions were so heated, and Gu Xijiu had unfortunately been involved in the gossips due to her past involvement in their engagement.
There was even some well-informed news from some unknown sources saying that Gu Xijiu once had a dispute with Yun Qingluo over Di Fuyi and that Gu Xijiu had even shamelessly boasted that she wanted to fight Yun Qingluo in a fair competition. Therefore, they all felt that Gu Xijiu had indeed embarrassed herself this time.
Recently, Gu Xijiu had always been in the limelight of Tianju Hall. Although she had made a lot of friends, she had also caused a lot of people to be jealous of her.
People were always jealous when others succeeded. Rumors and slanders would always come to those who were standing in the limelight. Therefore, they indulged in elaborating on her rumors. Some preferred to make fun of her behind her back.
Certainly, they would not dare to gossip about her openly and brazenly as she had been making more and more friends lately. They would hold back a little when they talked about her. Some would even sigh for her situation.
Gu Xijiu had always been numb about her own rumors, so she did not care much about those gossips that were spread behind her back.
However, those gossips had somehow spread to Qian Lingyu, so he was very careful with his choice of words when talking to her. He even tried to say a few words to comfort her. She had kicked his ass a few times already for that.
As for the rumors between Celestial Master Zuo and Yun Qingluo, she did not quite believe in them as rumors could always distort the truth by confusing the facts. The credibility was too low.
She tried to recall what she had seen for herself about Di Fuyi's attitude towards Yun Qingluo. He seemed to treat her simply as a friend. However, it was a little odd for him to make a special trip just to pick Yun Qingluo up when he was injured.
Gu Xijiu had spent some time in Fucang Hall before, so she knew that there was no shortage of female servants. There should be enough people to take care of Di Fuyi.
Even if he were paralyzed, the people around him would definitely take very good care of him.
Why did he need to take Yun Qingluo with him?
Celestial Master Zuo had always been unpredictable in the things that he did, so that was a question without an absolute answer.
Gu Xijiu had also dismissed the idea of visiting him as she still had her own life to live. She had to study, fight, strategize, and occasionally perform some alchemy. Half a month ago, those days were her easy days. But today, things have changed.
Yun Qingluo made her way back. She had been gone for more than a month, and now she was finally back. Celestial Master Zuo had sent her back.
Gu Xijiu had a feeling that she must have been doomed to be entangled with both of them. They were not fond of each other, but they kept bumping into one another.
It was a sunny day when Yun Qingluo came back. Gu Xijiu saw a cool ship emerging from the sky when she came out of the training room, and the only one who could fly a ship in the sky was Di Fuyi.
The moment she saw that ship, she stopped. All the students stopped and stared in awe at the ship because it was too cool.
The ship traveled all the way to the main square and stopped dozens of meters above the ground. Yun Qingluo then flew to the ground like a goddess from the Ninth Heaven.
Yun Qingluo had always been beautiful, but she was even more beautiful that day. She was wearing a dress with translucent colors. It was as though a goddess had come alive from a painting when she buoyantly flew from the skies. Her beauty was overwhelming.
Normally, Yun Qingluo would avoid applying any cosmetics. She usually presented herself naturally without many accessories.
However, she had obviously dressed herself up that day. There was a light application of powder on her face and a faint red tint on her lips. Her skin was apparently fair and white, matching up with her watery eyes.
She bowed towards the ship after she landed, "Thank you, Celestial Master Zuo."
The ship did not land, and no one else came down from the ship. There was only a clear voice that could be heard coming from the sky, "You are welcome."
The ship then left, disappearing into the clouds in the faraway skies.
Everyone thought it was a chance to see the exceptional Celestial Master Zuo, but he did not even emerge from the ship.
The ship was too high up in the sky and was covered with a layer of intricate curtains. The people could only see the four custodians. They did not even have the chance to see Celestial Master Zuo's robe.
After the ship departed, the students who were close with Yun Qingluo eagerly went forward and started bombarding her with questions.
Yun Qingluo just kept smiling and did not say much. She kept quiet about what happened in the past month. She only sighed and said, "The whole month had been… had been too exhausting."
Her words could be manipulated into many different meanings. People could easily overthink. Moreover, her legs seemed to be fairly clumsy when she landed. The scene alone could induce a lot of imaginations in the minds of the people.
Everyone seemed to catch a glimpse of the situation. Some of the curious ones even tried to get more gossips out of her and approached her by asking oblique questions. However, Yun Qingluo did not wish to express herself any further and only smiled at them.
Her eyes were sharp. She caught Gu Xijiu who was preparing to leave the scene in the midst of the moving crowds.
She moved across the crowds and greeted Gu Xijiu with a smile, "Xijiu, long time no see."
Her voice was a little hoarse but still delightful.
Gu Xijiu felt that she was either demonstrating her advantage or showing off.
