538 The Lord’s Grace 8 (2/2)

”You kept staring at Rong Che when he was making the tea. You paid so much attention, did you try to see whether he was hiding any skills?

”You’re really smart.” The Lord did not deny.

”Then, have you found anything? I did observe his movements too, everything was normal.”

Gu Xijiu had tea together with Rong Che a few times; she knew his usual procedures. It was difficult to change one’s habits for making tea, and everyone had different ways to make tea so it would be obvious.

”Are you very close to him?”

”We’ve met a few times for tea together when we were still in the capital city. He was quite nice to me and helped me a few times.” Gu Xijiu did not hide the relationship between Rong Che and her.

The Lord looked at her for a short while and casually said, ”You wouldn’t know.”

Gu Xijiu had no idea what was wrong with her as her blood was boiling. She would not allow anyone to backstab her friends.

Gu Xijiu said, ”I trust him!”

The Lord’s finger knocked on the tea plate and asked, ”So, you don’t believe me?”

Gu Xijiu was speechless. She pondered and then refuted, ”I trust you, but I also believe my friend is innocent!”

The Lord seemed to be tired. He waved her hand, ”It’s quite late already, go back and rest. I need to meditate and gather Hu Qingqing’s souls tonight.”
