THE EVIL CONSORT ABOVE AN EVIL KING

2711-2720

Gu Xijiu suddenly felt eager to return to the Starry Crescent Land. "What are we waiting for? Let's go back!"

She swept her eyes across the cabin and saw Guan Yaning standing nearby. It would seem that some of her happiness had diminished as she did not quite like Guan Yaning. After all, this fellow was also one of the culprits behind this mess.

Her glare was enough to scare the general to the point where his scalp went numb. He stood there and smiled to try to reduce the tension in the room. "My Lords, are we going back now?"

"Why is he here?" Gu Xijiu did not buy it.

Di Fuyi answered, "I needed him for a temporary assignment. Fortunately, he was able to drive this ship so that we could catch up to you." Otherwise, he would not have arrived in time to stop Fan Qianshi. That was certainly a significant contribution, for they could not even imagine the consequences that would befall the world if Di Fuyi had arrived slightly later.

2712 Di Fuyi’s Requirement

Gu Xijiu stopped hinting why she did not want the man to be on the ship.

Meanwhile, Guan Yaning sighed as he understood the situation surrounding his comrade. He still insisted on finding out the marshal's whereabouts.

Di Fuyi could very easily tell that Fan Qianshi had possessed Duan Muyan's mortal body. However, it was safe to assume that Duan Muyan himself was already dead. "He is gone."

Guan Yaning's face turned pale at once. "Who did this to him? Where did the person go? I shall do whatever I can to avenge his death!" He said determinedly.

Di Fuyi threw him a quick glance and answered sarcastically, "You are not even capable of getting close to him. Don't make a promise that you cannot keep."

Even then, Guan Yaning was not ready to give up without trying.

Before he said anything more, Di Fuyi added, "However, you do have a way to help us get revenge. Tell me everything about where you have been in recent years. Also, I need to know how your general has been acting lately."

He who had a thorough knowledge of the enemy was bound to win in a battle. Di Fuyi surely needed to find out more about the enemy, especially since Fan Qianshi had been manipulating the situation in the dark. There must be reasons behind the invasion from the people of Blue Fox planet. Perhaps, Fan Qianshi might have stirred up the idea and edged them on for the galactic invasion. It was likely that he could find out more about Fan Qianshi's intentions from the invaders of the Starry Crescent Land.

Guan Yaning agreed to share what he knew. "I can tell you everything that you want to know in exchange for the safety of my men. I want them to leave in peace."

Scornfully, Gu Xijiu refused to take the offer. "You have almost driven the entire Starry Crescent Land into extinction with so many innocent lives lost in the bloody hands of your men. How dare you offer us the information in exchange for the safety of these murderers? Do you think this feud is going to end the easy way?"

Guan Yaning stubbornly replied, "If you are not going to let them go, I will not tell you a thing."

Gu Xijiu gently tapped the table with her fingers while threatening him, "Actually, we can easily find someone else for information. There are so many people from the Blue Fox planet down there. If I threaten them enough, I will surely get what I need."

Guan Yaning felt immediately threatened by the Lord. "What they know may not be as much as what I do. After all, I am the one who has spent the longest time with the marshal, so I know more than anyone else. I can save you from going down a winding road."
