2859 I Refuse To Be Taken Advantage Of Any Longer (1/2)

Gu Xijiu estimated that three days of rest would be enough for her to return to her normal routine. She should be able to venture into the vortex again for yet another round of cultivation.

Di Fuyi offered, ”I am here to cultivate, actually, for at least two months. Meanwhile, I can take care of you until you can take care of yourself.”

Gu Xijiu was relieved by his benevolence and righteousness. If she only knew that he was such a kind gentleman, she would not have controlled him by using a spell in the first place. Speaking of which, she started wondering if her spell actually ever worked on him. Did he grow immune to the spell halfway through, or was he even controlled at all? Baffled, she decided to ask.

After a brief pause, Di Fuyi decided to put her curiosity to bed. ”The spell was powerful, but I found a way to build a resistance against it. As soon as you cast a spell on me, I already knew how to free myself from it.”

Gu Xijiu was a little annoyed. ”So you just pretended to be under control... Did you treat my situation as a joke?”

”I wanted to see what you were going to do to me,” Di Fuyi answered.

”I see. So you have been pretending all this time. Why did you suddenly stop?”

”No point doing it now. Besides, I refuse to be taken advantage of any longer.”

Silence filled the air for a moment.

Although it was not a big deal, Gu Xijiu was still a little despaired, for she had been rejected by the same person far too many times. ”Are you really that reluctant to be my disciple? Do you know how many people have I rejected?”

Di Fuyi gave her a nonchalant look. ”Go after them, then. Why bother me?” He was right. Nothing done forcibly was going to be agreeable.

”Humph. Someday you are going to regret this.”
