Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Pain crept into Long Siye’s gaze as he asked, “Just because of him?”
Gu Xijiu answered as she nodded. “And also for myself.”
“Why then did you flee away from the wedding if you loved him so much?”
Gu Xijiu did not want to disclose anything about Di Fuyi to anyone else. Hence, she briefly explained, “There was a misunderstanding between us. However, we decided to be together again since we were able to solve our misunderstanding.”
Long Siye looked at her for a mont and sighed. “As long as you’re happy.” The tone of his voice sounded a little lancholy.
Gu Xijiu smiled. “Instructor Long, you can be happy as well. I hope you’ll find your true love.” Although she had nothing to do with his happiness, she sincerely hoped that he could find soone he loved.
Long Siye shifted his gaze away and filled her teacup. “I hope so.”
Both of them continued chit-chatting for a while. Suddenly, a noise was heard from outside. Long Siye frowned as he looked at Gu Xijiu. “Did you co alone?”
Gu Xijiu recalled Li ngxia and quickly responded. “No, I ca with Li ngxia. Your place is strictly guarded, and I asked her to wait for outside since it was so difficult to enter. Gosh! Is she trying to break in?”
Long Siye shook his head. “She is a short-tempered person. It would be torturing to get her to wait for you.” Long Siye raised his hand to cast a spell and sent his voice ssage. “Let her in.”
A mont later, Li ngxia broke into the house like the wind. She heaved a sigh of relief as she saw them drinking tea leisurely. “Xijiu, why are you taking so long? I thought you had been tricked.”
Long Siye scraped the lid against his teacup as he said, “She will be safe if she stays in here. Why would I trick her? Master Li you must have overthought.”
Li ngxiang felt relieved as she found out that Gu Xijiu was safe. She then got herself a seat. “Overlord Long, your security is tight. It’s more difficult than entering the palace. Similarly, it’s even more difficult to see you as compared to the emperor...”
Gu Xijiu seed to have thought about sothing as she imdiately looked at Long Siye. Long Siye smiled as he answered, “Many things had happened lately. I’m worried that so spies with bad intentions would sneak in and so I have set-up tight security for the past two years.”
Gu Xijiu half-jokingly said, “Not only is the security stringent, there is also clearly a hierarchy among the disciples. I disguised as your elentary disciple, and you can’t even guess how many tis I needed to kowtow...”
Li ngxia agreed. “True! True! Overlord Long, it was not like this in the past. What happened to you?”
Long Siye gazed down and casually smiled. “People change. Perhaps, I had been inspired by soone else. As a man, I should be slightly noble.”
This phrase seed to have a hidden aning. Hence, Gu Xijiu wisely decided to remain silent. However, she finally understood what was it that made Long Siye changed. It was probably because of her.
Long Siye must have thought that the reason she dumped him was because Di Fuyi’s status was higher. However, he did not realize that what she cared about was never the identity of Di Fuyi. She even hesitated to accept Di Fuyi due to his personality. Anyway, she did not want to explain further since it would not change anything between her and Long Siye.
anwhile, Li ngxia disagreed with his statent. “Overlord Long, you say it as though all girls are snobbish. n’s cos from their character instead of their identity or status.”
Long Siye realized that he had crossed the line and imdiately apologized. “My sincere apologies, I am too shallow. Let apologize with a cup of tea to replace the wine.”
Li ngxia decided to stop talking about it since he had apologized. She smiled and suggested, “Let offer you a toast. I’m thirsty.”
The three of them continued talking for a while. Long Siye was a justice enthusiast, and so as a heaven’s gift disciple, he decisively promised to help solve the rebellion once he knew that the culprit was an imposter.
Gu Xijiu was pleased and imdiately invited him to gather all the alchemists around the world to et at the Tianxia Hotel in Fenglai City five days later. Long Siye committed without hesitation, and the three of them continued talking for a while.
After all, Gu Xijiu and Long Siye have not seen each other for eight years. Hence, they did not even realize it was already nightfall when they ended their conversation.
Gu Xijiu was still alright as she had achieved a spiritual power of level ten and also mastered the fasting technique. Hence, she would not feel hungry even if she did not eat anything for several days. However, Li ngxia’s stomach was growling. Long Siye smiled as he heard it. “What would you like for dinner? I’ll get prepare it for you.”
Gu Xijiu glimpsed at Li ngxia and realized that she did not know much about courtesy. She said, “I’ve heard that there are many herbal dishes in the Tianwen clan. May we try so?”
Long Siye nodded. “Sure.” Just as he was about to call his servant, Gu Xijiu quickly stopped him. “We had secretly shown up here this ti. The fewer people who know that we were here, the better. Its to prevent soone from accidentally leaking out the news and alerting the imposter.”
Long Siye nodded. “You’re right, don’t worry. I’ll prepare it by myself...” He then got up and got ready to head out. However, Gu Xijiu did not want to trouble him as she did not co here to have a al with him. Moreover, she had told Di Fuyi that she would go ho as early as she could tonight. It was unnecessary for her to stay here any longer as everything had been confird. She then got up and suggested. “Let’s grab a al outside. I’m craving for the dishes that are served at the Fengxian Tavern in Weilai Town.”
Weilai Town was a town nearby the Tianwen clan. Gu Xijiu had a al in Fengxian Tavern before. Hence, she suggested having dinner there as she was familiar with the place.
Long Siye paused for a mont and glimpsed at Li ngxia. “I thought Master Li wants to try the herbal dishes served at the Tianwen clan?”
Subconsciously, Li ngxia touched her nose and said, “It was just a suggestion. It doesn’t matter whether it’s herbal dishes or not. As long as it tastes good.”
In other words, she had changed her mind and agreed with Gu Xijiu’s suggestion. Therefore, Long Siye decided to let it go.
...
Long Siye had reserved a private room in the Fengxian Tavern, and the three of them ordered several good dishes for their dinner.
Long Siye never liked drinking, but strangely enough, he ordered a big jug of alcohol. Besides that, he did not forget to explain to Gu Xijiu and Li ngxia, “The wine is known as Red Arniaca Vulgaris. It slls good, and is specially brewed here. Try it.” He then filled both of their glasses.
Li ngxia liked drinking. Not only did she have many buddies but she also often attended many social events. Hence, she was good at handling her alcohol and drinking was just as easy as swallowing water to her.
Gu Xijiu liked drinking as well, but she insisted not to drink whenever she had a mission to prevent any unnecessary accidents from occurring. She decided that it was best not to drink this ti as well. Making mistakes during such a chaotic ti was effortless. However, she had just reunited with Long Siye who was her good friend. It did not sound right for old friends to reunite without alcohol and so she had a drink. However, she made sure to control her alcohol intake.
The three of them talked as they dug into the food and discussed the next steps of their operation. Long Siye drank pretty fast, and already felt tipsy by the ti dinner was done.
