1412 Looking Forward To Welcome Her Little Baby (2/2)
Indeed, his closest man went to the prison and brought Li Mengxia to him. However, Li Mengxia successfully escaped from the attendant while they passed by the lake which was occupied by the evil wraiths and managed to jump into the lake. It was impossible for her to survive as many evil wraiths and piranhas lived inside the lake. Furthermore, there were many chains on Li Mengxia's body. Hence, she never showed up again once she hit the water.
The fake Celestial Master Zuo went crazy and even sent Mu Lei down to the lake to find her body. Unfortunately, Mu Lei only saw a few bones instead of Li Mengxia's corpse. Hence, the imposter's face helplessly turned green.
…
In a private room hidden in town, Gu Xijiu was sitting on the bed with her fingers pinching a spell as though she was instructing something or someone. A moment later, she opened her eyes with a grin. ”All done!”
Li Mengxia was standing beside her, and she heaved a sigh of relief after listening to her. She looked at Gu Xijiu with a gaze of admiration. ”Xijiu, I didn't expect that you could control a puppet from a such a great distance! Amazing! It is amazing! However, the puppet is not a real human. Do you think the evil wraiths and the Piranha will eat it even though it jumped into the lake? What if they didn't eat it and the imposter discovered the corpse? Would our secret be exposed…?”
Gu Xijiu answered as she got up, ”Don't worry. The puppet was made from flesh and blood like an average human. Moreover, it's also the Piranha and the evil wraiths' favorite! Not to mention about the flesh, I'm sure even the bones would be chewed, and no one would ever recognize it. Don't worry!”
A moment later, she received a message from Mu Lei. ”Everything is ready!”
Li Mengxia finally felt relieved and looked at Gu Xijiu with a pair of sparkling eyes. ”Xijiu, what's next? Give me a task!” She had been waiting to attack the imposter long enough!
Gu Xijiu already had a plan. ”Alright, let's visit Long Siye together.”
Li Mengxia paused for a while. ”How about Celestial Master Zuo?” Both of them were always together, but she had not seen him the entire morning.
Gu Xijiu added, ”This mission is urgent, and we have many people to contact. Therefore, we agreed to work separately after discussing with each other. He will find Qian Yueran, Hua Wuyan, and Tian Jiyue. Meanwhile, I'll find Long Siye and get him to help us…”
Li Mengxia nodded as she finally understood the plan.
Long Siye had been a neutral party for the past two years when it came to political matters. His excuse for not getting involved in the issues of the fake Celestial Master Zuo was to rebuild Tianwen clan which had been burnt down earlier. Perhaps, he also had his suspicions about the imposter. However, he was all alone and was too weak to fight. Hence, he decided to protect himself. Therefore, Gu Xijiu chose to invite him to join their alliance to overcome the disaster. After all, Long Siye was somewhat skilled in medical knowledge. He could make antidotes to save those who were under someone's control.
That was Gu Xijiu's perception of him. After all, she had married Di Fuyi, and so it would be more appropriate for her to bring Li Mengxia along when she visited Long Siye.
Gu Xijiu already mastered the Sword Riding Skill. Hence, she immediately headed over to the Tianwen clan with Li Mengxia.
Li Mengxia enviously stood on Gu Xijiu's sword. ”I didn't know that we can travel on a sword when we reached a spiritual power of level ten! Hahaha! It is a swift and convenient way to travel! It was no wonder that Celestial Master Zuo's whereabouts were so unpredictable! He could be in the Haoyue Kingdom in the morning and then show up in the Feixing Kingdom in the evening. People always thought that he had a clone. m the current speed we are traveling?”
Gu Xijiu smiled but remained silent.
Di Fuyi did not only know flying magic alone but also Ground Shrinking. He could arrive at any destination in a short time whenever he wanted to even if it was a thousand miles away.
Li Mengxia excitedly asked, ”Oh right, Xijiu. Why have you not gotten a child yet since the both of you have been married for eight years now?
Gu Xijiu shook her head. ”There was a special spiritual power in the core array that prevented us from having a kid in there.”
”But you're out now. So, it's time! I'm waiting for the little one to be born. Your child would turn out to be an extraordinary genius among the elites…”
Gu Xijiu smiled and lightly tapped on Li Mengxia's shoulder. ”You're rather good with words, aren't you?”
She was excited to have a baby as well. She believed that their baby would turn out to be extraordinarily beautiful since both she and Di Fuyi were so intelligent, and had excellent physical characteristics.
Unfortunately, they had been busy cleaning up sh*t ever since they escaped from the core array. Hence, both Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi never had any time to consider this matter. After they had left the imposter's mansion last night, they quickly tidied up everything and went to bed right away. They did not have any sexual intercourse, and Di Fuyi only wrapped his arms around her while they were sleeping.
Time flies. It had been five days now since Di Fuyi and Gu Xijiu escaped from the core array. However, they had not had sexual activity so far as they were too busy!
Gu Xijiu decided to only talk to him about having a baby once things have settled down a bit. She was looking forward to welcoming her baby.
…
Gu Xijiu and Li Mengxia decided to disguise themselves when they arrived somewhere near the Tianwen Association to hide their identity as the imposter had many spies. Therefore, they disguised themselves as two elementary disciples of the Tianwen clan.
Gu Xijiu was the most skilled person in the world when it came to disguisement. People could not tell the difference once she was disguised. Therefore, they were both able to sneak into the clan reasonably easily.
Gu Xijiu had not stepped foot into the Tianwen Association for eight years. She could not describe her feelings when she stepped into the familiar place.
The fire that had burnt the association down two years ago seemed to have been very severe as all the buildings in the Tianwen Association had been destroyed. Most of the buildings were relatively new, and a small part was left abandoned. The desolate scene was as pathetic as The Old Summer Palace (Yuanming Yuan) after the fire.
Ever Since Gu Xijiu entered, she could sense that the hierarchy between the disciples was now stricter as compared to the old days. After all, Long Siye had a modern mind. He never made it a point to emphasize the hierarchy of the Tianwen Association even after establishing it and recruiting so many disciples. The disciples were somewhat friendly and close to each other in the old days. However, it was completely different now. Gu Xijiu and Li Mengxia disguised themselves as elementary disciples. Therefore, they were considered the disciples who ranked the lowest in the Tianwen clan, and their status was just slightly higher than the newcomers.
They had returned to the Tianwen clan along with the other disciples who had shown up at the association. However, all of the disciples were kowtowing continuously.
It was an official protocol for them to greet the elders of the Tianwen clan whenever they saw them. It was the same case if they bumped into the custodians. Besides that, they had to do the same whenever they saw their elder disciples. They also needed to kneel and greet the ordinary senior disciples whenever they bumped into them.
Gu Xijiu felt miserable from having to kneel here and there! As a result, she quickly escaped with Li Mengxia after she knelt and greeted four different groups of people! Her knees would start swelling if she continuously needed to kneel!
Li Mengxia also wondered. ”What's wrong with Overlord Long? The condition of this place is worse than the palace…”
Gu Xijiu remained silent for a moment and suggested. ”Let's find him first.”
Li Mengxia had a headache. ”If you noticed, everyone here prioritizes the hierarchy of the association. It's probably more difficult to see Overlord Long than the emperor!”
