Gu Xijiu witnessed a very strange scene unfold before her. Wisps of green smoke rose into the air, and soon, the tree transformed into Zhu Duqing! His hair was in a complete mess, with some parts of it even missing. He was almost bald in certain areas. His robes were unkempt and disheveled. Gu Xijiu had never seen him in such a messy state before and was shocked.
Zhu Duqing noticed the bewilderment in Gu Xijiu's big shocked eyes and was immediately at loss of what to do. His image was gone. Although he did not really care about his image in front of most people, things were different with Gu Xijiu. Therefore, Zhu Duqing quickly rushed into the woods to tidy up his clothes.
When Zhu Duqing finally returned, Gu Xijiu was still in shock. "Are you really Zhu Duqing? You really are a Bamboo Monster!"
