Gu Xijiu was proficient, and she knew that Yun Qinglu did it on purpose! She just wanted to have Gu Xijiu killed!

If she killed Gu Xijiu, she could say that she accidentally killed her while saving her friend. Gu Canmo, who saw Gu Xijiu as an eyesore, would not investigate the case if Yun Qingluo managed to kill Gu Xijiu by ”accident.” Then, Gu Xijiu would die in injustice.

However, because the teenager suddenly appeared, Yun Qingluo could not strike again in front of him and said she did it accidentally. She had to act affectionately.

Gu Xijiu saw through her plot, but she did not want to reveal it yet so that she would not do something desperately. Furthermore, Gu Xijiu was not as talented as Yun Qingluo. She was also alone without any support. Therefore, it was foolish if she turned on her now.

Gu Xijiu kept quiet after she took a glance at her.

Yun Qingluo sighed, ”Xijiu, I’m glad to hear that you’re here. I’m here because I want to give you something.” She took out a futon from her storage space and handed it over.

Gu Xijiu did not accept it but turned over and continued to grill.

Yun Qingluo felt rather awkward and sighed, ”Xijiu, we used to be friends but you treat me like this… is it because of Celestial Master Zuo?”

Gu Xijiu frowned, ”Huh?”

Yun Qingluo sighed again, ”I know that you used to be engaged to Celestial Master Zuo. I didn’t know back then when I got closer to him. It is excusable as we’re heavenly gifted disciples and thus we have more topics to discuss. Besides, Celestial Master Zuo does take care of me, and he sent me here. Therefore, I’m grateful for what he has done for me.”

Gu Xijiu was rather impatient, ”What are you trying to say?”

Yun Qingluo pursed her lips, ”I don’t like to beat around the bush. I’m here to tell you that I like Celestial Master Zuo and I want to chase him…” As she uttered those words, she took another glance at Gu Xijiu.
