1668 There Is No Need To Chase After Them Separately (1/2)

Abruptly, Di Fuyi looked away and asked, ”What have you discovered?”

”There are two different sets of footprints. One set belongs to Little Fox, and the other belongs to the mermaid. I can recognize Little Fox's footprints. As for the mermaid, the footprints are not too deep or too big. I assume that these footprints belong to a woman of not more than 163 cm and her weight would be…”

She had precisely predicted the weight and height of the woman. Then, her eyes rested on Di Fuyi. ”You know who she is, right?”

Di Fuyi did not deny. ”I know. If I am not mistaken, she should be Lan Jingyi. She has been missing for five days.”

To guess the identity correctly was one thing, to hear his confession was another. Gu Xijiu took a deep breath before she continued, ”You are only here with me because you are looking for Lan Jingyi, aren't you?”

Di Fuyi was very non-committal about her question. ”What is the difference? Regardless of my intention, we are all sharing the same goal.”

She was right. She was looking for Little Fox, and he was looking for Lan Jingyi.

Of different means, they were working to achieve the same end. It did not come as a surprise to Gu Xijiu anymore that he offered his help so eagerly.

Gu Xijiu tried to calm down. She already felt bad enough, as though there was a lump in her throat. She could no longer finish the other half of her apple.

She threw the apple away and stood up. She took a look around on the ground, trying to look for the water source to perform the Aqua Drilling technique.

Di Fuyi stood and tidied up his robes. He then picked up the unfinished apple that she left behind on the ground. The apple was already dirty after taking a few rolls on the dirt.

Di Fuyi cleaned the fruit a little and took a bite. The fruit tasted sour and astringent. It was her least favorite flavor.

She liked the taste now all of a sudden. Was it a reflection of how she truly felt inside?
