2001 An Unexpected Gues (2/2)

He was concerned that the man's spiritual power was much stronger than his. Otherwise, he would have kept the man out of his residence by force.

”Are you eager to attend to someone else's treatment?” Caught by the surprising question, Long Siye stood frozen. He could not figure out Mr. Fuyi's purpose of visit, or his identity. He would not tell him about Gu Xijiu's injuries until he had a better idea.

What if Mr. Fuyi was actually one of the opponents who hunted for her? What if he was with the group of the ten masters?

Gu Xijiu was right in the room, separated only by a door panel. The intruding guest would find out about her whereabouts very easily.

Long Siye took a deep breath, then offered, ”Shall we talk about this outside?” He had to get the man away from the room.

The wooden tub caught Di Fuyi's attention. ”General Long seems to be in a good mood for a midnight herbal bath. Is that true?”

”This is how I like to meditate. Please excuse me. This is not the place for a proper talk. Let us go outside,” Long Siye offered again, while intentionally blocking the entrance.

”There is no need for that. I am here to look for someone.”

Di Fuyi tried to look behind the closed doors that were blocked behind Long Siye. There seemed to be some movements in the room. Was General Long going to have his bath together with a woman?

It did not seem so. As far as he was concerned, Long Siye was a very disciplined man. He did not have a wife nor a concubine. He did not get close to his personal female servants as well. Who would the woman be?

Long Siye sensed that something was not right and quickly changed the topic.
