463 Through Thick And Thin 8 (1/2)

Panic-stricken, the Emperor quickly said, ”Welcome! Welcome!” He felt a little uneasy, as it seemed like Celestial Master Zuo had always been watching out for Gu Xijiu. He sent someone here as soon as she escaped the forest. Did he send the person to force her into their marriage?

Even though Celestial Master Zuo once said that if Gu Xijiu could make it out of the Dark Forest within eight days, they could revise and discuss the engagement again. However, it would only be a discussion; there was no certainty that the engagement would be dismissed.

Furthermore, who would not wish to marry Celestial Master Zuo?

Gu Xijiu should not be an exception, too.

The Emperor could not help but look at Gu Xijiu. She seemed at ease; it was hard to read her mind from her expressions. Then, she stood up with him.

Mu Feng entered the hall with vigorous strides.

After paying respect to the Emperor and others, he turned his attention to Gu Xijiu, ”Miss Gu, congratulations upon escaping the Dark Forest. Celestial Master Zuo has sent me to congratulate you on his behalf. I hereby present you this humble gift.”

There was a rise of admiration from the people, as Celestial Master Zuo would not present his gift to just anyone; he did not even send the Emperor anything for his royal marriage years ago. To one’s surprise, this time he sent his follower to present his gift to Gu Xijiu as a token of congratulation.

What would the gift be?

Most of the attention fell onto Mu Feng, as he slowly took out a little Narra wooden box from his storage bag. After opening the box, a pitch-dark bracelet could be seen buried within the velvet sheets.

The Dark Heart Bracelet!

It was the Dark Heart Bracelet that was taken as a keepsake for their engagement!

Gu Xijiu stared blankly at the bracelet for a little while. She smiled, as she seemed to have realized something.
