557 Gu Xijiu, Are You Afraid Of Me? (2/2)

The Lord seemed to have just woken up as his hair was yet to be tied and his clothes were still a bit messy. ”So early?” He asked, as he watched her entering the hall.

He thought she would sleep slightly longer since she has been exhausted from last night and kids tend to sleep longer...

Gu Xijiu gave her full respect to him and spoke after greeting him, ”Xijiu always wakes up early to conduct morning practices.”

The Lord looked at her head and realized she was still kneeling on the floor. He frowned as he was not used to her kneeling even though it was very common for people to kneel in front of him.

”Rise, and you don't have to start the morning with a greeting every day.”

Gu Xijiu responded and got up from the ground.

The Lord felt uneasy as he saw her head still lowering. He waved his sleeve and there were a few plates of food that had appeared on the table, ”Come on, eat something.”

Gu Xijiu still did not raise her head, ”Thank you,Lord. I think I better eat at my own place.” He was too mighty and she felt stressed to eat with him. Besides, no matter what, she had to kneel to thank everything he granted her throughout the meal. She would rather return to her house or find food from somewhere else.

The Lord looked at her and massaged his forehead.

He had a headache when she was being impulsive.

But he felt uncomfortable when she was being courteous.

There were too many people being courteous to him except her. Did that mean the exception was going to disappear soon?

”Gu Xijiu, are you afraid of me?”

Gu Xijiu finally raised her head, ”No, I respect you instead.”

”Alright, that's great then! Come on, eat something.”

Gu Xijiu did not argue with him again but said 'yes', and walked towards the table.
