2814 Was She Annoyed? (1/2)

No one in the world had the same power as Gu Xijiu; who else was capable of disappearing in an instant? Her superpower had filled the crowd with awe.

Some of the people quickly bent their knees and uttered, ”Goodbye, Divine Lord.”

Di Fuyi caught himself contemplating, while gently tapping on his bamboo flute in his palm. There was hardly anything that he could not solve, but he had no idea why she rejected the invitation. Was she annoyed? He wondered

…

”How did your power increase almost twofold?” Back in Tianyin Valley, Gu Xijiu was trying to find out more about Fan Qianshi's latest developments.

Silently, Fan Qianshi remained on the ground, kneeling.

”Speak!” Gu Xijiu had no patience for the boy.

Scared, Fan Qianshi guiltily confessed, ”Qianyan's life was at stake, leaving me no room for any delays, so I went for the most stupid idea. After leaving the restaurant, I ventured into the forbidden land of illusions and took an illusionary fruit...” His statement ended in a stammer.

Gu Xijiu answered somewhat sarcastically, ”Although the fruit can increase your power, the effect will only last temporarily for four hours. When it is over, your nervous system will be greatly damaged, and it might restrict your spiritual power to only half of what you used to possess. Haven't I told you that it is not worth the price? Have you forgotten it all?”

”I… I have not forgotten your words. I was desperate for a way out.”

”So what if you managed to level up your power? Could you defeat Yao Xingye? What you have done completely puts your own health at stake. Why didn't you think properly before you acted? Did you really think that I would let Qianyan die?”

Fan Qianshi had never seen her so frustrated. ”I now know my mistake,” he timidly said, without even looking at her.
