2224 Did She Change Her Mind? (1/2)

He used to be a gentle and soft-hearted gentleman who was friendly with everyone. However, the way he teased Di Fuyi was completely different from how he used to be. His aura suddenly became overbearing, strong enough to affect his surroundings. Leaves were shed from the trees as a result of his powerful influence.

…

All of a sudden, Gu Xijiu reappeared right in front of them.

Yun Yanli's expression changed abruptly the moment he saw her. He took a step back and said, ”Xijiu, why are you back again?” His powerful aura completely disappeared in an instant, and he was friendly again to her.

Di Fuyi's eyes flickered with a sense of hope. He fixed his eyes on Gu Xijiu. Did she change her mind? Was she here for him?

Gu Xijiu ignored him completely and turned her attention to Yun Yanli. ”Why are you still here? Do you still want to go to the city?”

With a nod, Yun Yanli gave her a firm confirmation. ”Yes!”

”Let's go!” Gu Xijiu wanted to turn around and leave again.

”Wait a minute!” Di Fuyi finally broke his silence.

However, Gu Xijiu did not stop. Suddenly, a red, shimmering crystal flew before Gu Xijiu's eyes and placed itself safely in her hands.

Di Fuyi explained calmly, ”This is a class-one spiritual crystal. Send it to Ye Ling to accomplish the mission.”

Gu Xijiu stopped to observe the spiritual crystal that he offered. She smiled, but he could not be sure if she were amused or being sarcastic. Soon, she turned around and threw the spiritual crystal back to him. ”Thank you, but I do not anything from you.”

The spiritual crystal landed right next to Di Fuyi's feet. Along with the crystal, there was another storage bag. It was a gift from him to Gu Xijiu before. It appeared that Gu Xijiu wanted to cut ties with him completely. Swiftly, she pulled Yun Yanli away and left.
