618 You Seem Energetic (2/2)

”Yes, I only asked you to come for tea and I did not promise to answer your questions. Now that you have had your tea, you seem energetic enough to run for a few rounds.” The Lord stood up and said, ”I need a rest and you may go now.”

He was being so difficult.

Gu Xijiu clenched her fists.

The Lord looked at her face and asked, ”Are you not convinced?”

Gu Xijiu said nothing back.

The Lord continued, ”You may hit me if you are unconvinced.”

Gaping and speechless, Gu Xijiu was at a loss for words. She had never thought that The Lord would act in such a shameless manner.

”My Lord, was the one behind the scenes too strong for me to contend with? Therefore, there is no need for me to find out who he is, as there is nothing I can do. Is this why you have been avoiding my question and not telling me the truth?”

The Lord sighed. ”He is indeed not your match. You are not on the same level.”

”Then, who exactly is he? You should at least tell me so I can be prepared,” said Gu Xijiu, not letting it go.

The Lord looked at her for a brief moment and suddenly asked, ”Where did you learn the venomous spell?”

This time, Gu Xijiu withheld nothing and decided to make it clear, ”My Lord, if I answer you, will you please answer my question in return?”

”Are you trying to bargain with me?”

”One question in return for another question, fair and square. This is an honest deal.” Gu Xijiu insisted.

”Not a lot of people have the opportunity to bargain with me. You are really something else - how audacious! However, I'm in a really good mood today so there is no big deal exchanging a question with you. You must first tell me the master of the succession for your venomous spell. I will then tell you what I saw from Qian Lingtian.”

It was rare for The Lord for being so straightforward, so Gu Xijiu talked about the history of her learning without further ado.

She had befriended someone who was a master in venomous spells in the modern times. She thought it was fun, so she decided to learn a few types, too. She was a natural learner.
