2265 He Was Just Close By (1/2)

Gu Xijiu gave him a casual reply, ”Why? Are you checking on me?”

Yun Yanli answered cheekily, ”I dare not. I am just worried about you.”

Gu Xijiu pretended to look around and told him exactly where she was at the moment. ”Are you done with your work?” She asked keenly.

”Not yet. Xijiu, please be careful. I'll see you in Luo Hua City later on; probably in a month or two.”

”No worries, you go ahead with your work. I do not know where to continue searching anyway, so there is no point to trouble you.”

”Xijiu, you do not have to be so formal with me. Like I said, your problem is my problem as well. I will still continue the search for Mr. Fuyi.”

”All right.” The conversation through the directed audio spell then came to an end, so Gu Xijiu kept it away.

Like a bat in the dark, Yun Yanli dressed entirely in his black robes. He was quietly observing Gu Xijiu from the top of a tree, not too far away from where she was currently located. Relieved, the sight of her grilling meat in the woods made him believe that Gu Xijiu was not the thief who had broken into his secret chamber.

Swiftly, he sprung into the air and disappeared. After the disappearance of his class-one and class-two spiritual crystals, he had to delay his plan. While his men searched for the stolen spiritual stones, he also sent some of the hunters to retrieve more stones to replace the lost ones. The hunt for class-one spiritual stones would require his personal effort, so he would definitely have no time for Gu Xijiu.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

After keeping the directed audio spell, she continued to munch on her grilled meat. The Firmament Stone said, ”Master, it seems like Yun Yanli still cares about you.”

Did he care about her? Gu Xijiu answered scornfully, ”He was just close by.” The only reason he called was that he had doubts, so he needed to check on her.
