2885 Being Ignored 3 (2/2)
Speaking of which, Gu Xijiu felt somewhat guilty when she was reminded of the price Di Fuyi had to pay to play along with her request. She cleared her throat and replied, \”I didn't look for you at first. I wanted to let Yin Jiusi do it, but you...\”
\”Yin Jiusi's ability is suited as the future king of the devil world. His ability is limited. If your apprentice decides to take him down, do you think he can escape?\”
Gu Xijiu remained silent. She had actually considered this before and even thought about a backup plan. She knew was that Fan Qianshi would not dare to harm Yin Jiusi while she was still alive. So, just when she was going to immortalize, she would explain the truth to Fan Qianshi before she dissipated, and then force Fan Qianshi to swear that he would not do something unfavorable to Yin Jiusi.
The promise would be binding, so it was very unlikely that he would go against it. Besides, once Fan Qianshi knew the truth, he should know that it was not Yin Jiusi's fault. At this point, he would not risk his life to go against a binding covenant.
Nevertheless, she could not tell Di Fuyi about her plan. But, she was actually curious about one thing, \”Did you volunteer yourself for this task so that Yin Jiusi would be protected?\”
Di Fuyi choked for a moment. Then, he looked at her and smiled. \”Do you really think so?\”
Gu Xijiu sighed. \”You don't even want to be my apprentice and have continuously asked me to set you free. Doesn't that mean that you don't want to have any relationship with me? However, this time, you suddenly took on this troublesome task and have even played along with everything. I can't think of the reason why you would endeavor to do so.\”
Di Fuyi silently stared at her for a moment. She was looking at him too, and at that moment, he realized that her eyes were bright and calm. Apparently, she really thought so.
He decided to respond half-jokingly, \”Maybe I really like you and don't want to be your apprentice. Perhaps, I only want to be your husband?\”
Gu Xijiu was stunned and subconsciously stared at him. \”Are you serious?\”
\”I said maybe; so, it may be true.\”
