34 Temptation (1/2)
Fortunately, she came here just to gain some knowledge.
After all, she had the memory of the previous owner but she did not go out often and was very inclined to stay indoors. Thus, her knowledge was very limited and insufficient.
Books were yet to be popular in this era. Furthermore, the books she found with difficulty were written in traditional characters vertically; without any punctuation marks, no less. Thus, she started feeling a tad dizzy by just reading a few pages…
Experiencing things hands-on should be much better than reading, hence, she thought it would be better for her to see and experience matters herself.
”Little brother, you are really willing to learn. Come, please do have a cup of tea to soothe your throat.” Rong Che snapped his fingers and a cup of tea flew towards the hand of Gu Xijiu…
Gu Xijiu raised her hand and that cup of tea turned onto her palm. ”Thank you sir, for the tea,” and raised her cup for a toast.
The eyes of Rong Che flashed slightly as he secretly used thirty percent of his spirit power and no one could receive the cup without spirit power of equal level. To his surprise, the little black kid received the cup with ease.
What perplexed him was that he could not see what spirit power he was using to receive the cup at all.
He was neither nosy nor a person who would defend against injustice.
The reason why he condescended and brought in Gu Xijiu, was that he seemed to have witnessed the technique she used against the doorman, which appeared to be a similar technique Gu Xijiu had used before.
He doubted and thus, took her in.
He wanted to test her kinesis by holding her hand but he had never thought that she would shake it off and prevent him from carrying out the test.
Gu Xijiu was too good in disguising herself, even her obvious birthmark was well-concealed! The shape of her body had transformed completely too.
As she looked completely different from Gu Xijiu after the disguise, Rong Che was not able to recognize her even after careful observation.
