2837 A Dramatic Reencounter 6 (2/2)

Delightfully, Wu Qianyan thanked Gu Xijiu for her kindness! She then turned to look at Fan Qianshi, hoping that he would pay her a compliment. But to her dismay, Fan Qianshi only threw her a quick glance and commented harshly, ”It is incompatible.”

She was not sure what he actually meant by the word 'incompatible.' Nonetheless, she trusted her intuitions, which told her that he was implying that the bracelet was too elegant for her to carry. After all, they had spent enough time together for her to understand his thoughts. There was a glimpse of disappointment in Wu Qianyan's eyes, but she soon got over it.

Gu Xijiu took a look at Fan Qianshi and shook her head. The boy had always been quite harsh on Wu Qianyan. He especially enjoyed it every time he knocked her down, to the point where he was basically tearing her up. The silly girl, however, still liked to stick around with him.

”What a pair of troubled friends,” Gu Xijiu thought.

She actually wanted to match them up but had a feeling that it would not end well. Marriage could not be built without a common ground, so instead of injecting them with false hopes, she would like them to take their steps slowly and develop feelings for one another over time.

For the past twenty years, Fan Qianshi's behavior had been acceptable enough. What he had for Gu Xijiu was nothing short of respect. Furthermore, he did not cross any lines.

Gu Xijiu used to hold a strong guard against him, but slowly, she became more comfortable around him when she realized that he was no longer trying to woo her. Relieved, she was happy that the boy finally cleared his head. When she finally felt that it was time to move forward, she decided that it was time to take them both on a trip around all six worlds.

When Fan Qianshi was 18, Gu Xijiu once sent him out for missions alone. He was assigned with challenges of varying difficulties, but he could always accomplish them with flying colors, which made Gu Xijiu proud.

Birthdays are meant to be celebrated, regardless of race. And when a person was highly respected in the society, their birthday celebration would naturally become an important date to be remembered.

Gu Xijiu had walked the earth since the beginning of time, long enough for her to forget many things through the course of time. Although she no longer remembered when her birthday actually was, the kings from all six worlds and her disciples still insisted on celebrating her birthday. Firstly, the celebration served as an opportunity for a reunion. And secondly, they wanted to be closer to the creator of the universe.
