She felt like there was an invisible force strangling her throat. It felt tight, and she could not speak or breathe. Her face slowly turned pale. She tried struggling to release herself from the invisible force.After a while, the invisible force finally disappeared. Di Fuyi sounded cold. "Go away! Don"t let me repeat myself a third time!"
Finally, Huang Shangxiang felt relieved and began to breathe smoothly again. She did not dare speak anymore and immediately ran away.
"Celestial Master Zuo, are you in a bad mood? Why are you acting so fiercely today?" Luo Zhanyu walked over. He looked at the food and wine that was in front of Di Fuyi and asked, "May I sit down and drink together with you?"
Di Fuyi glanced at him. "You may not!"
Luo Zhanyu never expected that he would be rejected so bluntly and so he was stunned for several seconds before he said, "It is so boring to drink alone. Why don"t you let me accompany you?"
Di Fuyi covered half of his face with his hand which made him look somewhat lazy. However what he said next was very unfriendly, "I don"t want to talk to anyone now, including you."
Luo Zhanyu frowned. Though he was in a half-conscious state due to all the liquor that he had drunk earlier with Gu Xijiu, he still had his pride. Since Di Fuyi had made it clear, he did not want to stay with him any longer. "Well… It"s fine with me. I don"t want to drink with you either. Oh right, do you know where Xijiu is?"
Di Fuyi sounded cold. "She has her life, and I have mine. How would I know where she had gone to?"
Luo Zhanyu frowned again. "She was with me earlier, but she suddenly ran away… I thought she would come here to find you."
Di Fuyi picked up the cup and drank. "Find me? She would never come to find me. Haha…" He chuckled sarcastically, "I never knew that she would find someone… That"s fine. I don"t want to see her now. If you are looking for her, you should go somewhere else and don"t disturb me here!"
Celestial Master Zuo looked rather angry at this moment, so Luo Zhanyu did not want to stay with him any longer. He left right away. The environment went back to its peaceful state. Celestial Master Zuo went back to his drinking and played the flute alone.
Gu Xijiu stood from afar and watched everything that had happened a moment ago. Even though she was tipsy, her hearing was still somewhat sharp. She had overheard the conversation between Di Fuyi and the two persons.
As she was feeling a bit tipsy and was not in the right state of mind, she decided that it was not the best time to find Di Fuyi. She had planned to make things right with him. However, it seemed like now was not the right timing. What he needed now most was to have some quiet time and not to be disturbed by anyone.
There were also times when Gu Xijiu was upset and did not want to be disturbed. She could understand Di Fuyi"s feelings. If that were the case, she would not go over to find him. Otherwise, he might be provoked and end up being unhappy. She could be a very considerate person when it was necessary.
After she thought for a moment, she decided not to go over. Instead, she headed back to her house.
Not only was she tired from her journey earlier, but the alcohol effect was also starting to take its toll. She immediately jumped onto the bed and went to sleep as soon as she returned to her house. It was always easier to fall asleep after drinking. Gu Xijiu immediately fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
While she was sleeping, she could vaguely hear the sound of Di Fuyi"s flute playing. It sounded like a lullaby to her, and she slept even more soundly than usual. She had a great sense of hearing, so even while she was sleeping, she could differentiate whether the flute was being played well or not.
