591 Pay To Embarrass 4 (2/2)

She believed that things would be different after tonight. She was delighted. She could not help but crack her fingers to relieve some of the tension. She approved of herself, ”Gu Xijiu, this is such a perfect fight! Keep it up!”

Full of delight, she felt like whirling in circles out of joy. Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder from behind, and she could hear a cold voice talking to her, ”Keep it up.”

The voice was so familiar.

She was so surprised by the voice that she fell off from the tree. What an utter surprise.

She had always been bold, but not reckless, but right at the moment when she fell, she did not attempt to struggle. When she finally reacted, her face was about to touch the ground.

Oh, no. Her face was about to be marred by a scar. She closed her eyes, instinctively.

She could feel a tight grip on her waist, followed by a reeling spin. When she opened her eyes, she was already standing on the ground, all well and unharmed. Standing buoyantly across her was The Lord, not further than one foot away. The proximity was too close. His presence was too strong.

Gu Xijiu could feel her heart skipping in her chest. Intuitively, she took two steps backward, ”My… My Lord.” She seldom stammered over her words.

The Lord cast a glance at her, ”Are you nervous to see me? Feeling guilty?”

Gu Xijiu muttered in her heart. The way The Lord appeared suddenly in such a manner would terrify just about anyone. She was considered brave for not screaming out loud. What was there to be guilty about?

”My Lord, you must be joking. My Lord came and went like a shadow; I was caught off guard for a second.”
