Gu Xijiu now realized that it was just her feelings. In the end, the entire fiasco was just a show directed by Long Xi. Strangely, she used to feel very sad and even had a heartache every single time she thought about the betrayal. Usually, she would feel pain, mad, and irritated, as though someone has poked a needle into her heart. However, this time was different. Although she still felt a bit sad, it was less painful. Perhaps the wound was going to heal. Perhaps time was the best medicine for grief, and the pain was slowly fading away.
She remained silent for quite a while. The Lord’s gaze seemed to be weird and then cold. "Is this a very difficult question?"
Gu Xijiu has finally regained her consciousness and smiled, "Love or not; it doesn’t matter anymore. It is over, and we will no longer be together. Oh ya, My Lord, I thought we were supposed to talk about the culprit?What do you think about my analysis earlier?" She tried to distract him.
"Your analysis is quite good." The Lord stood up, "Gu Xijiu, you’re quite smart huh? Let’s go!" He walked away.
What kind of answer was that!? Gu Xijiu was annoyed, but she could only follow him.
...
Gu Xijiu knew The Lord had ordered his messengers to build a house. However, she did not manage to see the design as she had to follow The Lord in a hurry. In her heart, she wished the new house was made of bricks, and the roof was made of tiles. Perhaps, a fence around the house would be great. However, when she saw the building from far, she realized The Lord had built a garden for her!
There were three entrances and three exits with a basilica in each courtyard. Every basilica was different but overall looked perfect!
There was even a training field! A brook was built and extended to the backyard. There were many different flowers in the backyard with an arc-shape stone bridge above the brook. Many fishes were swimming in the brook when they arrived.
Gu Xijiu and The Lord were standing on a small hill. They were watching the entire compound and Gu Xijiu was amazed by the scene.
He deserved to be a god! And his messengers were like his fairies! Amazing! It must be built by wizards! Otherwise, how could they build such a nice mansion in two hours!?
A few people were standing in front of the main entrance. When she looked properly, she realized Long Siye was there! He was there! And Rong Che! He came back!
Of course, Gu Canmo and the other elders were there as well.
The main door was closed, and a few of them were standing outside. She did not know what were they talking about, but it seemed to be a pleasant conversation.
Gu Xijiu wanted to go down, but she stopped after she recognized them.
"You’re afraid of Long Siye?" The Lord asked.
Are you kidding? She did not owe him anything! Gu Xijiu twitched her mouth and smiled, "Why should I? You overthink."
"Great, let’s go down." The Lord pulled her and flew down.
Gu Xijiu felt that The Lord must have used certain skills related to teleportation as she felt her vision was blurry when he began to fly. However, when she could see clearly again, they had landed in front of the mansion.
Everyone knelt down to greet The Lord. Gu Xijiu did not want their greeting, so she quickly moved away. However, she did not know her waist string got tied together with the ones on The Lord’s robe. She was not able to move away but instead fell into The Lord’s arm.
The crowd was shocked, but everyone remained silent. Rong Che’s hand which was holding his fan trembled, while Long Siye’s face turned slightly pale.
Gu Xijiu blushed, she wanted to jump up, but her waist string was still tied together with his robe. It was not an easy knot to untie. She was nervous and tried her best, but it was a dead knot. She felt so helpless and thought to just pull herself away by sacrificing the ribbon. Luckily, The Lord simply swayed his hand, and the ribbon was finally untied.
Gu Xijiu was speechless and quickly jumped away from his arms. She was cursing herself silently as she was not a careless person, but she had been publicly embarrassing herself quite often. When she got up, she felt someone was staring at her, and she almost shivered. Subconsciously, she raised her head and saw a charming young teenager standing behind Gu Canmo. He was wearing the uniform of the Ziyun class. It was a light purple robe, and his body figure was fit. He looked around 17-18 years old. His features were as nice as a statue with a high nose, thin lips, and a pair of charming eyes. He looked cool and was standing there impressively.
Gu Xijiu's gaze met his gaze, and he moved away and smiled sarcastically. Gu Xijiu did not look at him for long. She had seen many of those kinds of teenagers in reality and also in the comic world. There were also a lot of them in the animation program, and the teenager looked like the fictional character Sasuke Uchiha in Naruto. However, this teenager looked more handsome and sharp than Sasuke Uchiha.
Gu Xijiu was not a big fan of handsome guys. Since she came to this world, attractive guys were everywhere! She was immune!
Most of them were elders of the Tianju Hall except the student. He was standing beside Gu Canmo. Needless to say, Gu Xijiu knew his identity.
He must be the most well-known male student in the Tianju Hall - Yan Chen! There were three things for Gu Canmo and his subordinates to report. Firstly, Long Siye paid a visit. Secondly, there was an accident during the interrogation of Hu Qingqing. Thirdly, Rong Che did not leave. He was wandering nearby after he was sent out from the Tianju Hall. The Lord called him back.
The Lord asked Long Siye, "Why are you here?" Long Siye moved his gaze away from Gu Xijiu and replied, "My Lord, Headmaster Gu has invited me to teach here, but I did not have time to do so until now. Besides that, I also heard My Lord is here. Hence, I decided to pay a visit."
The Lord looked at Gu Canmo; he coughed and answered, "My Lord, indeed I had invited Overlord Long six months ago. Finally, he is here…"
The invitation was sent out six months ago, but now only he came. The Lord knew very well the main intention of his visit. He blinked his eyes and then slightly nodded. He did not bother anymore but asked about Hu Qingqing.
After Gu Canmo left the hall, he immediately arrested Hu Qingqing for interrogation. However, Hu Qingqing had committed suicide, and no one knew whether she felt embarrassed or guilty. She exploded, and it was very difficult to collect any information. Gu Canmo could perform a simple Soul Collection; however, when he gathered Hu Qingqing’s souls, it was not a clear one. Everything was scattered, and there were no memories in her souls. The explosion had hurt the souls, and it lost all its memories. As he talked, he also passed a gourd container to The Lord and checked whether he would have any solution.
