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

Di Fuyi did not seem to mind at all. ”I will never do anything that makes me have any regrets.” Also, he would never do anything without reason. Everything came with a plan.

Gu Xijiu silently agreed. There was no disputing that. Anyway, she did not feel like arguing anymore, for she could never win. At this point, she would even lose in a fistfight.

With everything said and done, Gu Xijiu decided that it was time for her to drop the matter and meditate. However, as soon as she sat down, he immediately pulled her up. ”You cannot do this alone. Let me help.” He then pulled her into his arms and sat her down on his lap.

He did not seem to any form of awkwardness despite them sitting together at such close proximity. Gu Xijiu, however, was clearly uncomfortable. ”I do not need your help. I can cultivate on my own.”

She started to struggle, but Di Fuyi quickly held her down by the waist and stopped her from shifting about. ”Why are you struggling? You should know that you will recover better in my arms,” Di Fuyi answered in a puzzled tone.

Obviously, Gu Xijiu knew that was the case, but she was still uncomfortable. ”We are not exactly close to each other. Shouldn't we keep a distance?”

Di Fuyi questioned her point, ”That is strange. Before this, you kept trying to get close to me, didn't you?”

Gu Xijiu could not reply at first, for she did not know how to handle his accusation. Nevertheless, she needed to correct him, ”You have always been a disciple to me. I was injured, so it was only necessary that you took care of me. Plus, the minor skin contact was unavoidable. However, now that you refuse to be my disciple, it does not feel right for me to trouble you any longer.”

Di Fuyi froze momentarily. Swiftly, Gu Xijiu rose and walked out of his embrace. She went to another corner of the room and started meditating on her own.

Meanwhile, Di Fuyi watched as she became completely absorbed in her meditation. All of a sudden, a sudden sense of recklessness struck him. He used to have the privilege to be by her side, but he pushed her away.

As for Gu Xijiu, her recovery did not happen as planned. After a month, only ten percent of her spiritual power was recovered.
