Gu Xijiu never turned back. She only waved him goodbye. "My prince, there is no need to escort me. Don't worry. I have no problem with your sister marrying him as long as it is something he wants to do."
Meng Wuya was speechless. He never thought that she knew about his plan all along. In the beginning, Gu Xijiu was just an accessory in his plan. He never actually cared about her. But watching her leave now finally made him confront his feelings.
"Little Jiu, I really like you," he said to her, truthfully this time.
"Roar!" A sudden cry alarmed Meng Wuya.
He knew that someone must have hit the water and consequently triggered the devil spirits. He assumed that it must be someone fearless in the face of death.
