1225 She Ran Away (1/2)

They were worried that she would get away, so they quickly surrounded her.

”The king of the mermaids has treated you well enough, but you have injured our princess!”

”Are all humans so ungrateful?”

”Why did you hurt our princess? Did you not know that no one should harm our princess?”

Their accusations went on and on.

Gu Xijiu responded icily, ”Don't worry; I will not run away!” She cast a hard look at the concubine, ”Aren't you going to explain the situation to your people?”

The wife was tongue-tied. ”What… What should I explain?”

Gu Xijiu smiled at her and answered nonchalantly, ”You do not have to, but the doubts will clear up when the facts are known. You can rest assured that I will not go anywhere! I will be back in two hours to make sure justice is served.” She turned swiftly and disappeared into thin air.

The crowd was astounded.

They would never have thought that Gu Xijiu was capable of doing that, so they all stood there with a clueless look on their faces, unsure of what had just happened.

The wife was anxious. Hastily, she told her men, ”She will not make it far, search for her!”

The crowd dispersed in an uproar and went out to search for her.

The wife took a moment to think about it. She then joined the search for her.

According to the mermaids, Gu Xijiu must have used her teleportation skill to disappear and escape from the scene. They underestimated her spiritual power and thought that she would not be able to hide for more than 15 minutes.

Moreover, there were hidden mechanisms located almost everywhere in the kingdom. It was like a maze! If one had not been living in the palace for years and was unfamiliar with routes, there was absolutely no way to escape.

The wife had some authority in the palace, as she was able to temporarily transfer the workforce in the palace to join the search. However, there was no sign of Gu Xijiu at all, even though they had searched through all corners of the palace.
