1415 People Change (1/2)

Pain crept into Long Siye's gaze as he asked, ”Just because of him?”

Gu Xijiu answered as she nodded. ”And also for myself.”

”Why then did you flee away from the wedding if you loved him so much?”

Gu Xijiu did not want to disclose anything about Di Fuyi to anyone else. Hence, she briefly explained, ”There was a misunderstanding between us. However, we decided to be together again since we were able to solve our misunderstanding.”

Long Siye looked at her for a moment and sighed. ”As long as you're happy.” The tone of his voice sounded a little melancholy.

Gu Xijiu smiled. ”Instructor Long, you can be happy as well. I hope you'll find your true love.” Although she had nothing to do with his happiness, she sincerely hoped that he could find someone he loved.

Long Siye shifted his gaze away and filled her teacup. ”I hope so.”

Both of them continued chit-chatting for a while. Suddenly, a noise was heard from outside. Long Siye frowned as he looked at Gu Xijiu. ”Did you come alone?”

Gu Xijiu recalled Li Mengxia and quickly responded. ”No, I came with Li Mengxia. Your place is strictly guarded, and I asked her to wait for me outside since it was so difficult to enter. Gosh! Is she trying to break in?”

Long Siye shook his head. ”She is a short-tempered person. It would be torturing to get her to wait for you.” Long Siye raised his hand to cast a spell and sent his voice message. ”Let her in.”

A moment later, Li Mengxia broke into the house like the wind. She heaved a sigh of relief as she saw them drinking tea leisurely. ”Xijiu, why are you taking so long? I thought you had been tricked.”

Long Siye scraped the lid against his teacup as he said, ”She will be safe if she stays in here. Why would I trick her? Master Li you must have overthought.”

Li Mengxiang felt relieved as she found out that Gu Xijiu was safe. She then got herself a seat. ”Overlord Long, your security is tight. It's more difficult than entering the palace. Similarly, it's even more difficult to see you as compared to the emperor…”

Gu Xijiu seemed to have thought about something as she immediately looked at Long Siye. Long Siye smiled as he answered, ”Many things had happened lately. I'm worried that some spies with bad intentions would sneak in and so I have set-up tight security for the past two years.”

Gu Xijiu half-jokingly said, ”Not only is the security stringent, there is also clearly a hierarchy among the disciples. I disguised as your elementary disciple, and you can't even guess how many times I needed to kowtow…”

Li Mengxia agreed. ”True! True! Overlord Long, it was not like this in the past. What happened to you?”

Long Siye gazed down and casually smiled. ”People change. Perhaps, I had been inspired by someone else. As a man, I should be slightly noble.”

This phrase seemed to have a hidden meaning. Hence, Gu Xijiu wisely decided to remain silent. However, she finally understood what was it that made Long Siye changed. It was probably because of her.

Long Siye must have thought that the reason she dumped him was because Di Fuyi's status was higher. However, he did not realize that what she cared about was never the identity of Di Fuyi. She even hesitated to accept Di Fuyi due to his personality. Anyway, she did not want to explain further since it would not change anything between her and Long Siye.

Meanwhile, Li Mengxia disagreed with his statement. ”Overlord Long, you say it as though all girls are snobbish. Men's comes from their character instead of their identity or status.”
