1522 Complete Elimination 4 (1/2)
Gu Xijiu smiled. ”It has been such a long time. Perhaps she is no longer waiting for you. Maybe she has already started a new life with another man by her side. Why should you be so persistent?”
Gu Xietian's expression changed abruptly. Dismayed, he thought about what she said. ”Maybe you are right, but I still want to see her as a new man. I will not go near another woman.”
Gu Xijiu sighed.
If he had known that his life would come to this point of great remorse, he would have acted differently and treated his wife better. Some men just have to learn their lessons the hard way. They finally knew what was truly valuable to them after they lose it. Unfortunately, not all that is lost can be found. Some goodbyes were forever.
The next day, Gu Xijiu went to the palace and visited Rong Jialuo. The fake Celestial Master Zuo had been controlling Rong Jialuo with the use of poison, turning him into a puppet.
Di Fuyi, along with Long Siye, made their visit to the palace before and treated him to free him from the puppet regime. He could finally return to how he used to be.
Rong Jialuo's spiritual power was nothing extraordinary. Moreover, he had been under control for a long time. Even though he was slowly recovering, Gu Xijiu could still clearly see his pale complexion, which looked like he had just recuperated from a severe illness. He looked unusually weak, so Gu Xijiu offered to check on his pulse. She noticed that his pulse was weak, mostly due to a prolonged illness that had been going on for years.
She was confused, as it had only been two years since the fake Celestial Master Zuo took over his consciousness. The reading of his pulse showed otherwise, indicating that he had been suffering from the illness for more than six years.
She continued to ask more questions.
Rong Jialuo answered promptly. She did not find anything wrong from his explanations. He told the truth about the mind-control trick. It happened to him just two years ago.
Sympathetically, Gu Xijiu shook her head. Rong Jialuo's life had always been difficult. He used to be a genius but was unfortunately framed and poisoned by his own brother. Now that he finally became the emperor, the fake Celestial Master Zuo went on and took over his regime. It was no wonder that his body became so weak.
After a brief conversation, Gu Xijiu noticed that his memory had become much worse. He might look like a young man in his thirties, but his mind was equivalent to an old man in his sixties. He seemed to have dementia, for he would always nod off and the way he spoke was incoherent, uttering words that did not connect. Gu Xijiu began to suspect that there was another soul in his body.
