592 When Extreme Joy Turns To Sorrow (2/2)

Gu Xijiu secretly howled with grief in her heart.

That was the time when extreme joy turned to sorrow!

...

The Luminous Pearl seemed to have sensed its master’s return as it slowly brightened up and shone. The hall immediately became bright as though it was daytime.

That was The Lord's house, and all the displays remained the same when The Lord left. If she had to tell the difference, it would be the dust at the corners of the house.

The Lord had left for six days, so it was normal for the furniture to be dusty.

The Lord's gaze scanned the house and looked at her, ”Did you think I was not coming back anymore? Have you cleaned the house?”

Gu Xijiu remained silent. She was so busy in the last few days and did not even tidy up her own bed. Of course, she did not think of cleaning his place. But, she could not say it that way at the moment. Gu Xijiu lowered her head and answered, ”Xijiu dared not simply enter your house.”

That was quite a good excuse. Since The Lord did not allow anyone to enter his house, even the four messengers did not dare to...

The Lord looked at her with a strange expression, ”I see, you sound so obedient huh?”

Gu Xijiu answered, ”Nothing new.”

”Hmmm. Since you’re so obedient, I’m sure you’ve got your homework done? Not bad! Let’s have a test then, I’ll reward you if you perform well but I’m going to punish you if you’re underperforming.”

Gu Xijiu cried in her heart. She looked out to the sky and tried to bargain, ”My Lord, since it's quite late already and you've been traveling here and there, would you want to have a rest anddo the test tomorrow?”
