Little Long Xi quickly placed his hands on the crystal coffin and said as though it was a promise, "I'll not let you continue to suffer this way! I'll save you, I'll let you have a better life"
The scene changed again; Gu Xijiu was being carried out from the coffin. She seemed to be frightened as that was her first time coming out from the coffin. Thus, she hugged the man who took her out tightly.
The mad scientist put on a set of nice clothes for her and smiled gently, "Baby, you like me huh? Call me daddy."
She looked at him with her big round eyes and finally spoke, "Call me daddy."
The mad scientist was speechless.
She was carried away and placed on a bed with another baby, then she realized the other baby looked exactly like her! The only difference between them was a red jade hanging on the other baby's neck.
She stretched her hand to grab the jade but the mad scientist immediately hit her to stop her. It was very painful but she twitched her lips tightly and did not cry.
There was a couple beside the small bed, they were looking at the two babies, "They are exactly the same!"
The couple left with the mad scientist after looking at her as though they were judging an item.
A moment later, Little Long Xi rushed in and looked at both of the babies by leaning on the edge of the bed.
Both of the babies were crawling on the bed, they were wearing the same clothes but the only difference was, one was wearing a jade and the other was not.
Little Long Xi had been watching them for a while and then told the babysitter to get something. He then quickly swapped the jade to the other baby after the babysitter left the room...
She was very happy as she finally got the jade. While she was playing with the jade, Little Long Xi pat on her head, "I've promised, I'll give you the best life"
Suddenly, Little Long Xi ran out as he seemed to recall something.
After a while, the mad scientist returned. He stood beside the bed and looked at the babies for a moment and suddenly smiled. Next, he took down the jade from her neck and put it back to the other baby. He then pats on Little Gu Xijiu's head and said gently, "My dear, you're my best and perfect creature, you'll have a bright future, how could you only be the daughter of a rich family? You'll be the top genius Long Xi is stupid, he almost ruined my plan"
She could not understand but only looked at him as she was still young. Then the Ye couple came in and carried their child away.
Little Gu Xijiu was sitting there and watched as the Ye couple left.
...
Gu Xijiu was awake from the dream with a shock. She sat up and leaned on the bed pillar.
This dream was different from those she used to have; it was very clear and she could still remember clearly even after she woke up.
There was sweat on her forehead as she did not expect to have that kind of dream.
She tried to recall and reorganize the dreams, and finally, she got a conclusion.
The dream was supposed to be real and it should be his subconscious memories of the past. However, she was too young when things happened and eventually she had forgotten about it when she grew up. Surprisingly, she managed to recall it through the dreams.
In fact, she was the cloned child!
What Long Xi told her seemed to be real, so did the Firmament Stone.
Long Xi thought he had swapped the two babies, however, the mad scientist had known about it and managed to swap them back secretly.
She guessed Long Xi did not know the truth and thought she was the real Ye Hongfeng.
In fact, she was not. She was the cloned child with new genes injected by the mad scientist.
The mad scientist had a very careful mind as he used Long Xi's guilt to force him to enter the assassin camp as a trainer so that Long Xi could protect the perfect clone on his behalf. Later, he faked his identity and taught Gu Xijiu the knowledge of venomous spells as a master of venomous spells. She shook her head after sitting for awhile.
No matter what, it was over! She was Gu Xijiu now; she was no longer a clone regardless of her identity in the previous life! The first thing she wanted to do when she woke up was to tell Qian Lingyu and Lan Waihu about her intention of changing classes. She had thought about it; she knew it was difficult for her to learn the Flying Wind magic with her current physique. It was not as easy as giving her best to try. Besides that, she did not want to be a 'special child' who received special treatment from him. Thus, it was a good idea for her to change class.
Lan Waihu said directly without hesitation, "Xijiu, I'm changing classes as well if you insist to do so! I'll follow you wherever you go!"
Qian Lingyu agreed, "Me too!
Gu Xijiu shook her head, "Little Fox follows me, but Lingyu, I don't think you should change." Lan Waihu needed to depend on her command when they fight and she could not possibly make use of her talents without Gu Xijiu.
However, Qian Lingyu had achieved a level eight spiritual power and he survived glamorously in Ziyun first class, hence, it was not necessary for him to change.
Qian Lingyu still shook his head even after Gu Xijiu explained it to him, "No way! We're all leaving if you're leaving! We are the Charlie's Angels - no one can separate us!"
Gu Xijiu felt a headache rising, "Lingyu, we can always catch up again. You'll have a bright future in the first class and we can always play together again even after both of us go to another class."
Unfortunately, Qian Lingyu still insisted on following her no matter how much she had explained. Gu Xijiu decided to bring them along to see Gu Canmo as she ran out of ideas.
Gu Canmo's eyes opened widely when he heard Gu Xijiu's request, "Gu Xijiu, everyone is willing to sacrifice anything just to get into Ziyun first class, so how would you decide to leave? Why?"
Gu Xijiu had thought about the reason, "Headmaster, my spiritual power is low and I find it really difficult for me to stay in the first class. Some of the lessons were really overwhelming as it requires a higher spiritual power to perform. It was not something that only required hard work and effort. I've gone through the course outlines for Ziyun second class and I found that it suits me the best. I'm sure I can perform much better if I enroll in a suitable course. Thus, I've decided to switch class after a serious consideration, so I really hope you'll approve my request."
What she said was kind of true as no one was perfect and everyone had their strengths and weaknesses. Besides that, it was a right move to focus on her strengths throughout the learning process. In fact, Gu Xijiu's spiritual power was indeed low and it could not be changed in a short period of time. She was an amazing child and she had made so many miracles, hence, she deserved a better education to make her a more outstanding person...
Gu Canmo was good at collecting information and he was kind of an observant person. He was aware of her days in Ziyun first class when Di Fuyi gave her a hard time during his lessons but Long Siye pampered her very much. Although Long Siye had clarified that Di Fuyi and Gu Xijiu were pretending to be a couple after they killed the purple puppet man, he knew it was not the truth.
After a series of pondering, he knew Long Siye was acting throughout the fishing operation but Di Fuyi and Gu Xijiu were not really acting as it seemed to be real. The three of them must have a complicated relationship at the moment!
Celestial Master Zuo was always an unpredictable weirdo, in fact, Gu Canmo did not really understand him and he was also very upset with Di Fuyi's action's this time around! No matter if the girl liked him or not, she did not do anything harmful to him and yet, she helped him destroy his enemy. Thus, he was supposed to treat her nicely as it was good to be friends even though they could not be husband and wife. However, Celestial Master Zuo seemed to have hated her as he neglected her in the class and intentionally embarrassed her publicly by implementing a practical class...
He was such a jerk!
He was not generous with Gu Xijiu at all! Hmph! And now she decided to avoid him! True, she should switch classes for the sake of her health! But...
He looked at Lan Waihu and Qian Lingyu, "Xijiu has an excellent reason to change her class but why are you here?"
Little Fox immediately answered, "I want to follow Xijiu!"
Qian Lingyu was decisive as well, "We're not leaving anyone behind!" Gu Canmo frowned. It was not a big deal to swap classes as long as both of the class teachers agree on their withdrawals and enrollments.
Teacher Ren was the class teacher of the first class, while Teacher Qian was the class teacher of the second class. Although both of them were extremely strict on selecting students, they prioritized their students more than anything else.
However, Gu Xijiu seemed to be the hotcake on the table as every class teacher never gave up on pulling her to their class. Ironically, Teacher Qian would definitely want her to come but Teacher Ren would not necessarily agree with letting her go.
That was even worse than killing himself! Not to mention she wanted to bring the two of them along? That would possibly make Teacher Ren mad!
Although Gu Canmo had the authority to swap the students, it was kind of a big move which might upset Teacher Ren - one that would create a chaos in the school management! Therefore, Gu Canmo gave Gu Xijiu two options after careful consideration. One, Lan Waihu and Gu Xijiu are to go to the second class, on the account that Qian Lingyu stays in the first class. Two, three of them are staying in the first class and no swapping is allowed. Gu Canmo was very firm with his stand and there seemed to be no room for negotiation.
In the end, Qian Lingyu was willing to compromise for Gu Xijiu. Both of them would go to the second class and he would stay in the first class... Therefore, Gu Canmo agreed to the deal.
However, it was not an easy job to swap them out and there was some coordination works to be done. Gu Canmo told Gu Xijiu to wait for another two days so that he could make the arrangements. Gu Xijiu exhaled in relief once she came out from Gu Canmo's study room. Yes! Finally, she got her freedom again! She wanted to focus her attention and effort on her martial arts! She was only 15 years old and it was a good time for learning! She did not care about anything else!'
Since Gu Canmo needed some time to coordinate, it was not suitable to disclose to others before the arrangements could be done completely. Thus, she reminded the two of them to keep it as a secret.
Little Fox should be fine as long as she sticks to Gu Xijiu. However, Qian Lingyu was very depressed as he was kind of attached to them, but he had to let go for the sake of their future. Gu Xijiu felt attached as well, after all, they have been companions for so long.
Perhaps, they would need to reform their team respectively after this. However, Gu Xijiu was not worried about him as he could definitely excel no matter who was his partners.
Although Gu Canmo had agreed to the change, they still needed to attend the class they were supposed to go. Therefore, three of them still went to class, as usual, nothing has been noticed by the others.
However, Qian Lingyu sat with Gu Xijiu more often since then and his eyes even got teary sometimes. Leng Zixing was Qian Lingyu's neighbor.
She had been observing him and finally decided to ask when he returned to his seat, "Why are you tearing? Are you crying for someone's departure?"
Qian Lingyu did not like her and replied rudely, "This is none of your business!"
Le Zixing laughed, "You think I'm very free?"
She then looked at Gu Xijiu but did not find anything strange from her facial expression. Gu Xijiu was listening to the class and did not bother anyone of them.
Le Zixing took a glimpse at Lan Waihu as she was a sensitive girl. Although she always stuck to Gu Xijiu, she was kind of sad that they were leaving soon. Although Qian Lingyu always scolded her, he did protect her as well... When she got bullied, he would immediately stand in front of her to protect her... However, they were going to be separated soon.
Le Zixing looked at Qian Lingyu and then looked at Lan Waihu again, she knew there was something wrong with them. Little Fox was naive and could hardly hide her secret, hence, Le Zixing thought of collecting some information from her.
By the end of the class, she asked Little Fox out for a talk as she wanted to get some information from her. Unfortunately, Little Fox refused to disclose anything this time even though she looked like she was easily fooled. She did not disclose anything and acted very alert as though Le Zixing was the fox trying to steal the chicken... Le Zixing stopped asking but secretly observed the three of them. Later, she went straight to Di Fuyi's mansion to see him. His mansion was a forbidden site for the outsider, hence, no one could simply enter.
Even Gu Canmo needed to get the approval from Celestial Master Zuo before he could step in. However, Le Zixing seemed to have a special right as she was invited to enter by Mu Feng right after a single knock on the door. Coincidentally, Qian Lingyu witnessed the scene as he passed by. Thus, he told everything to Gu Xijiu over lunch to release his anger. Although Gu Xijiu has decided to cut all the ties with Di Fuyi, she still felt depressed when she heard the news, as rationality and feelings were always moving in the opposite direction. However, she did not show any response to it.
After all, Di Fuyi was very close to Le Zixing recently, so it was not a surprise that she had the privilege to become his special guest. Gu Xijiu went straight to the bottom of the cliff again after a rough day and her dinner. Although she would be switching to the second class on the day after tomorrow, she still needed to go through the punishments she deserved.
Unexpectedly, Di Fuyi was even earlier than she was, as he was setting up a fire to grill at the bottom of the cliff when she arrived.
He frowned and waved his hand when she arrived, "Come over."
Gu Xijiu did not know what kind of plan he had, however, she still walked over to greet him courteously just to prevent something bad from happening.
Di Fuyi took out a futon from nowhere, "Have a seat."
Gu Xijiu did not want to sit, "Celestial Master Zuo, Xijiu needed to fly up the cliff ten times, I have not much time for that and I don't want to burn the midnight oil... ... Celestial Master Zuo was going to make a good show soon though!
"I won't let you burn the midnight oil." Di Fuyi continued, "I have a plan. Take a seat first and try this."
Gu Xijiu guessed and asked, "Celestial Master Zuo intends to reduce the penalty?"
Di Fuyi glanced at her, "How is it possible? I always do exactly what I said, no negotiations."
Gu Xijiu was speechless.
Then why the h*ll did he say that he would not let her burn the midnight oil?!
She smiled, "Thank you so much for your trust, but I really have no idea what kind of plan you have. The food should be quite tasty but I've eaten my dinner already and have no appetite for the grilled meat. I might as well get myself prepared for the penalty later."
She turned around and was ready to leave. "Xijiu, are you going to switch classes? I'll prepare this for you as a farewell; you really don't even bother to try?" Di Fuyi asked from behind.
Gu Xijiu was lost for words for a second, "How... How did you know..." She stopped talking halfway as she knew nothing could be hidden especially from him based on his abilities, but she just did not expect that he would know it so soon. Forget it, so what even he knew it? She did nothing wrong. Thus, Gu Xijiu turned around and sat down. "Thanks."
She then took a glimpse of the grilled meat, "I want a chicken wing." Di Fuyi replied, "Don't worry, both of the chicken wings are yours." He grilled it carefully with a pinch of salt and brushed a layer of sauce on it... The fire was burning and the brightness of the flame made him look even more charming.
He did not wear a mask today and his facial features looked like a painting under the starlight.
Gu Xijiu moved away from her gaze after taking a glimpse; she then focused her attention on the grilled chicken and suddenly realized it looked very special. There were two crests on its head, its wings were fan-shaped and its claws did not look like those of an average chicken's but were in a shape of a plum blossom... Since the feathers were all removed, hence, Gu Xijiu could not imagine how the bird looked like when it was still alive. It looked like a wild chicken when she first took a glimpse, however, it no longer looked like it when she observed it now.
Di Fuyi remained silent, of course.
Gu Xijiu would not want to take the initiative to talk to him. While sitting there to wait for the chicken wings, she was thinking about the strategies she was going to use later.
"Why do you want to change your class?" Di Fuyi suddenly asked.
Gu Xijiu answered casually, "My spiritual power is low and I couldn't catch up with the lessons..." She told him what exactly he told Gu Canmo. "Which lesson were you not able to catch up with?" Di Fuyi wanted to know more.
Gu Xijiu frowned as she knew Di Fuyi had no authority to get involved in the matter of the student's overall result and also the matter of class swapping as he was just a visiting professor instead of a class teacher.
Gu Xijiu did not want to talk too much to him, she smiled and answered, "Thank you for your concern, Celestial Master Zuo, but this is my personal matter and I don't feel like talking about it with others." Di Fuyi stopped talking and continued grilling the 'chicken'. His skills had improved as the fragrance was spreading around even before it was ready. In fact, Gu Xijiu already had her dinner and she was not supposed to be hungry.
However, her stomach was growling when she smelled the fragrance and could not stop looking at the golden 'chicken'. Finally, it was ready.
Di Fuyi tore off a wing for her, "Here you go." It was supposed to be very hot as it was just freshly grilled.
However, the temperature was just nice to eat when the 'chicken wing' was at her fingertips.
Gu Xijiu was holding the 'chicken wing' but she did not put it into her mouth as she was sure that was not a wild chicken. "What kind of chicken is this?"
Even the wings were so elegant.
Di Fuyi passed her a silver needle, "Here, poke at it."
Gu Xijiu did not quite get it but poked the needle into the 'chicken wing'. She pulled out the needle but did not see anything on it. "No poison right?" Di Fuyi looked at her with a smile, "You can eat it now."
Gu Xijiu was annoyed, "You're overthinking, I wasn't doubting whether it was poisonous or not."
The reason she had not put it into her mouth was that the wing looked really strange and she thought it was a mutated chicken!
Di Fuyi smiled, "Indeed, you weren't worried about whether it's poisonous, but you must be wondering what I've been planning to get you into trouble again, right?"
Gu Xijiu remained silent. He really could read minds?
Di Fuyi looked at her big round eyes, "Am I right? Don't lie! Tell me honestly."
Gu Xijiu replied, "You're partially right, indeed, I was wondering what was on your mind. However, you're the one who mentioned about getting me into trouble, it has nothing to do with me."
In fact, she was wondering what his intention was as he was acting as though he was giving her a candy after slapping her. However, she did not buy the strategy. Di Fuyi sighed, "Take a bite first, I'll tell you later. I'm afraid that you might not have any more appetite to eat after I tell you."
Gu Xijiu immediately straightened her body to be alert - what was he going to do?
She paused, "I feel that it would be better if you can tell me first. I've no appetite to eat after you said that."
Di Fuyi insisted, "You eat first, it wouldn't be nice when it's cold and the nutrients would be oxidized as well."
It was just grilled chicken. How many nutrients could it lose to make Celestial Master Zuo worry? Gu Xijiu looked at the 'chicken wing' in her hand.
Fine, she would eat it! She first took a small bite and was stunned. The meat was as smooth as pudding and it smelled really good with a fragrance of bamboo leaves. Her mouth was full of its nice fragrance and it even slipped down her throat to her lungs. It was fantastic! She has never eaten such a delicious grilled meat! Gu Xijiu finished all the meat in just a few minutes.
Right after she finished one, another one was delivered to her, "You must have both, you won't be able to fly with a single wing." Gu Xijiu did not expect Di Fuyi to believe that it was a good sign. In fact, she did not plan to have another one. However, since it was so delicious and he was willing to offer... Then what else was she waiting for!? Thus, she stuffed another 'chicken wing' into her mouth after thanking him. Halfway while she was munching, Di Fuyi gave her a light green wine bottle, "It's too oily to eat the meat alone. Here, drink some."
This time, she did not take it but took out her wine bottle from the storage bag, "I have my own wine." When she was about to drink it, he grabbed her wrist, "No, you can't! You must drink the wine made from the spring water when you eat the Blue Phoenix. That would help to maximize its nutrients!"
Gu Xijiu had almost let go of her wine bottle and she even forgot about withdrawing her wrist from his palm, "Blue Phoenix!?"
She quickly looked at the weird 'chicken' with no wings attached again, "This is Blue Phoenix!?"
Gosh! Was he joking with her?
The Blue Phoenix was a majestic bird on this continent; it was equivalent to the Phoenix in the legend. The Blue Phoenix could fly 1000 miles and it was as rare as Lu Wu. According to the legend, the Blue Phoenix was one of the fortune birds.
It was like a Chinese Kirin which always attracted the worships from the citizens and recorded in the book of history. The arrival of the Blue Phoenix was a sign that the prayer from the emperor had been heard by the Gods... It was such a mighty majestic bird, but, it was grilled by Celestial Master Zuo as though it was a wild chicken! It was grilled and eaten! Was he not afraid of the thunder? Was he?
Gu Xijiu truly felt Celestial Master Zuo was indeed an extreme spender... Di Fuyi looked at her little mouth which was slightly opened, he sighed, "I took the risk of being struck by thunder and lightning to grill this bird for you. Eat more of it, don't waste my effort."
He then stuffed his wine bottle into her hand, "Drink some to calm yourself."
Gu Xijiu looked at the wine bottle in her hand and then looked at the bird wing which she had almost finished. She ate the Blue Phoenix! Would she get punished... Right at the moment, she wondered, a lightning flashed across the sky together with a loud thunder. Gu Xijiu subconsciously shrunk her body.
What!! That was real!?
She raised her head and looked up to the sky. She had no idea when the sky got so cloudy and it covered the moon and the starlight. A few flashes of lightning were chasing each other in the clouds.
"Crack!" A lightning struck across the sky! Gu Xijiu jumped up from the futon and watched a ball of a lightning strike the greenstone beside Di Fuyi. The greenstone exploded and turned into ashes. Very soon, another lightning flashed across the sky again but the target was Di Fuyi's head! Gu Xijiu was shocked and subconsciously rushed over to carry him away by teleportation. She managed to escape to a few hundred meters away and the lightning struck on the burning flame. A lot of sparks were triggered and it almost turned the entire sky red!
Gu Xijiu's ears were buzzing as the thunders were extremely loud. However, she could not bother to care too much at this moment as it was more important to escape from the thunders and lightning. Thus, she carried him by the waist and teleported again. Gu Xijiu liked to study the geography and landscape wherever she went, she liked to plan her strategies, hence, she was familiar with almost all the surroundings of the places she had been before. Not to mention the number of the trees at the bottom of the cliff, she even knew how many snake holes were hidden in this place.
Of course, she also noticed a cave which was covered with many plants. Thus, the first option to escape from the lightning was to teleport into the cave. The cave was quite deep inside, she teleported more than 20 meters further into the cave after they went in as she was worried the lightning would follow them into the cave. She had not regained her attention as she looked out again after she stopped to check whether the lightning was following them. She was hiding so far into the cave, it probably would not manage to follow them unless a radar has been installed in there. She was right, the thunder and lightning did not follow them but only growled outside the cave.
Gu Xijiu perked her ears up to listen and only exhaled after she confirmed it was not following them. "Sweetheart, you're afraid of thunder, aren't you?" Di Fuyi asked just right beside her ear.
Gu Xijiu was stiff as it was only now that she realized that she was still carrying a 'big doll' on her arms. She quickly let go of him and took a few steps back.
The far end of the cave was not spacious, hence, she almost fell and crashed on the wall of the cave .
Fortunately, Di Fuyi acted faster than she did as he managed to go around and stand behind Gu Xijiu.
She slumped into his arms when she fell. He grabbed her waist, "Watch out, why are you so careless?"
Gu Xijiu remained silent.
A nice fragrance immediately filled Gu Xijiu's nostrils and she felt slightly depressed in her heart. A hot steam suddenly rushed up to her nose and she felt sad for a second.
She took a breath and said coldly, "Let me go!" Di Fuyi did not let go of his hands but hugged her even tighter; his hot breath blew gently against her cheek and he said with a hoarse voice, "Xijiu, don't deny it anymore, I know you like me."
Gu Xijiu stiffened but she laughed coldly after a second, "So what!?"
She took a breath again and said with a serious tone, "Di Fuyi, let go of your hands!" Finally, she no longer addressed him as Celestial Master Zuo. Di Fuyi has stopped fooling around with her as well but sighed, "Xijiu, I think we need to talk."
In fact, she did not want to talk to him, what else they should talk about? He was such an unpredictable weirdo, he was extremely mean when he was moody but also very clingy when he was passionate. He already gave up on her and even sought the opportunity to seek revenge, but now he suddenly offered her a treat and wanted to talk to her...
She twitched her lips, "Di Fuyi, what do you want from me? Are you trying to coax me after giving me such a hard time? In fact, I don't want to talk to you and I really don't think there's anything else we can talk about." Her tongue was stuck when she almost finished talking.
She then took a breath to calm herself down, "You're right. Perhaps, I really like you, but what's the big deal? I'm always a decisive person in terms of relationships and as long as there's enough time, I can let go no matter how much I love a person. In fact, a relationship is just another form of confusion and perhaps, I'm just confused by the feelings I have towards you. However, I believe it would fade away as time goes by, I'll not get attached to anything in the world."
She turned around and pushed his hands away, which were around her waist, "Thanks for the meat from the Blue Phoenix, it was really delicious. However, I think this should be the ending for us. You're the mighty Celestial Master Zuo. Countless of women would rush to you as and when you want, so you don't have to waste your time on me. Look, I'm such a harsh and rude person. I'm a stubborn girl and I don't buy your way of attention seeking. So, could you just let me go as I really don't want to have any more interactions or anything to do with you..."
That was the first time she talked so much and so clearly to him, Di Fuyi looked at her, "Any more?"
Gu Xijiu suddenly paused for a second and then slowly answered, "That's... all."
She felt she had already told him everything she wanted to say. Di Fuyi sighed, "Why don't you take a seat first and listen to me?"
He took two futons out from nowhere and let her sit down. Gu Xijiu sat down as she was not afraid of him doing something reckless, "What do you want to talk to me about?" Since he insisted to talk, they should talk about everything openly and go their own ways respectively.
She did not want to have an unclear relationship with him anymore as it affected her studies and she was distracted too often.
Di Fuyi passed her the wine bottle again, "You must drink three mouthfuls of this wine after you eat the Blue Phoenix; it can help to stimulate your potential talents and enhance your spiritual power."
Gu Xijiu was speechless. Fine. Since she had eaten the Blue Phoenix, it would be too hypocritical of her if she continued to reject it. She would just drink it!
She thanked him and then took the wine bottle. When she was about to drink three mouthfuls of the wine, Di Fuyi stopped her, "Drink slowly, don't just pour it down your throat." Tsk! Did she? She always had a good image when she drank!
Gu Xijiu lowered her head and took a sip, and then waited for him to talk. Di Fuyi turned his wrists over and the grilled Blue Phoenix appeared again on his palms, "Two wings are not enough, finish the thighs."
He then tore off both the grilled meat for her. Gu Xijiu did not want to owe him any more favor, she shook her head, "The bird is so valuable, please keep it to yourself."
Di Fuyi smiled and decided not to continue persuading. He placed the two golden thighs on the staircase in front of her. He ate the other parts of the grilled bird. He looked elegant and charming even when he was eating. Gu Xijiu really had nothing to pick on him!
Gu Xijiu could not help but urged him as she watched him eating slowly, "I thought you have something to tell me?"
Di Fuyi placed a finger on his lips and made a sound, "Shhh, don't talk when you eat and sleep."
Gu Xijiu was stunned and replied, "I think you are only applying this rule to me and not to anyone else."
She literally saw Le Zixing talking to him over their breakfast... Di Fuyi looked at her, "You mean the interaction between Le Zixing and I during our breakfast yesterday?" He smiled with a pair of sparkling eyes, "Xijiu, aren't you jealous?"
What the h*ck, why would she jealous!? She just felt he treated Le Zixing differently... "I didn't, it has nothing to do with me even if you did have someone you want to treat differently, I..."
Di Fuyi smiled and asked, "Could you just slow down the action of drawing the line between us? It's not exactly what's in your mind. However, I really treat her differently..."
Gu Xijiu was depressed, "Look, you treat her differently..."
Di Fuyi sighed, "Xijiu, in fact, she's not used to talking during her meal and that is quite similar to me." Gu Xijiu looked at him as she frowned, "So, you just wanted to tell me how special she is? Or you just wanted to let me know how compatible the both of you are? In fact, I think it's better for you to compliment her right to her face instead of telling me..." "She tried to coordinate with my roleplay." Di Fuyi interrupted her.
"What!?"
Gu Xijiu could not respond in time.
Di Fuyi sighed, "Indeed, she confessed to me, but I rejected her. She knew and she was touched by the feelings I have towards you, hence, she agreed to help me. She didn't really like to talk at the dining table, but she had to find something to talk to me as a supportive role for the drama..."
Gu Xijiu's heart skipped a beat as she seemed to understand him. She was a quick thinker and picked up the information very quickly, "So she is your spy and she is the one who told you that I wanted to switch my class?" Di Fuyi twitched his lips and sighed, "She volunteered to be my spy and I did mention to her that she must inform me everything about you."
Gu Xijiu was speechless.
She frowned and looked at him angrily again after interpreting the information, "I can't believe you placed a spy in the class to watch me! You even pretended in front of me... Are you trying to challenge me? What's wrong with you? I'll like you if I really like you and I won't like you if I don't! You will just make me let go of you faster by creating those dramas and I really can't believe that you would do this to me... Are you trying to tease me or insult me? Who do you think I am...?"
"I'm really sorry!" Di Fuyi suddenly apologized.
Gu Xijiu did not expect such a mighty person to apologize to her; she was stunned for a second.
Di Fuyi looked at the bird which he had almost finished eating and then sighed, "Xijiu, I have zero experience."
Gu Xijiu's heart skipped a beat, "What?"
Di Fuyi sighed again, "This is really the first time I like someone so much, but I really had no idea what to do as you never stopped pushing me away. Mu Feng had collected many love stories for me and I read many of them. However, those couples liked each other at first sight, hence, they got married very soon. Even if there were some hard times between them, it was mostly the exterior factor instead of the internal conflict between the said couple. It was completely different from our problem and there was nothing I can learn from it, I'm really miserable..."
He was still looking at the grilled Blue Phoenix; he looked depressed and weak, "I have no idea how I can make you look me into the eye seriously. I can't give up and I don't want to give up as I know you already like me. However, I don't what else I can do to make you follow your heart. I was really heartbroken when you ignored me but enjoyed spending time with Long Siye instead. I wanted to bring you closer to me, I wanted to separate Long Siye and you but I couldn't force you..."
Gu Xijiu interrupted him, "I didn't like you..."
Did she make it so obvious? Otherwise, how could she not know that she liked him?
Di Fuyi looked at her and said with a serious tone, "You like me! I know it!"
Gu Xijiu was speechless. He was really... Gu Xijiu could not find a suitable word to describe him. Gu Xijiu did not want to argue with him on this as she felt his method of seeking for love was based on the logic of the robbers. He would only irritate her if she really loved Long Siye... "Di Fuyi, have you ever thought that I would really love Long Siye? I..."
"Xijiu, you don't love him. I've told you before... you don't love him but you're just obsessed with him..." Di Fuyi said with a serious tone.
Gu Xijiu was speechless as she felt Di Fuyi was trying to brainwash her again! However, after a few times of his brainwash, she did realize that between her and Long Siye was not love, but it was not an obsession as well. In fact, she seemed to be rationally selecting a good husband and Long Siye was a good role model... Wait! The topic has changed!
She quickly asked, "Then? And you came up with this silly idea to fool me?"
Di Fuyi sighed, "Mu Yun proposed it to me. He used to be an expert on relationships and always got the girls he wanted, so, I even had to put away my pride to seek advice from him..."
He told her about Mu Yun's opinion. Gu Xijiu did not speak but she was actually cursing Mu Yun's ancestors silently. She looked at Di Fuyi again with a cold gaze, "It was normal for you to neglect me after listening to him..."
She took a breath and continued,
"In fact, it's fine with me even if you like acting with Le Zixing, but why the h*ck did you embarrass me publicly if you really like me?! You definitely know my spiritual power is still very low and I won't be able to complete the practical lesson for Flying Wind magic... Di Fuyi, if you really like someone, you would hope the best for her and you'll be very happy to see her excel compared to your own achievements. Instead, you wouldn't just continue thinking how to embarrass her publicly and make her a joke of the entire grade..."
