Gu Xijiu was sitting in a courtyard somewhere in the seventh heaven. It was a private house that Gu Xijiu just bought. It was located in the downtown area, which was crowded with people. The house was not too far away from the local market.The mussel did not understand why its owner would buy a house in such a crowded place. She had always liked to live quietly. Therefore, when she bought this house, the mussel could not help but ask about it. Gu Xijiu only answered with a few words. "The greatest place to hide is in the city."
Gu Xijiu then asked the mussel, "Do you like the food in Restaurant Xian Kelai?"
The mussel was very honest. "Yes! I do!"
"This place is very close to the restaurant, so you can go there to eat anytime you like."
The mussel"s eyes s.h.i.+mmered! It found that its owner considered about it when deciding to where to stay, so it felt touched! Soon, the mussel found out the beauty of this house. There was a fountain in the courtyard of the house. The water from the fountain was milky white and cold. Even if people drank from it on a hot day, it would still be too cold.
The house was disliked by its original owner and was sealed away. However, after seeing it, Gu Xijiu did not hesitate to buy it, because it was a rare medicine fountain. By using the water from this fountain, it could help in doubling the quant.i.ty as well as the quality of the medicine she made!
When Gu Xijiu came out of the Fantian Palace, she was adamant about getting her own place. With her own home, she did not have to bother others when she got injured and did not have to worry about being driven out by others.
Nonetheless, the mussel felt that a person like her should live in a beautiful mountain and in a quaint house to show her uniqueness. However, Gu Xijiu told it that such people could not hide. Eventually, they would be invited to out from the mountain as high-ranking hermits. Besides, it was not convenient to live on a mountain.
Living in this downtown area would not attract attention. When she was tired after wandering around the world outside, she could rest here without having to travel too far. When Gu Xijiu bought this house, she disguised her appearance and asked an ordinary worker to furnish it. Everything was simple and ordinary. It would not attract the general public"s attention. Even Long Siye also did not know about it.
Gu Xijiu managed to take a good rest in this house for more than ten days. Every day, she practiced and exercised. She also refined medicine and strolled around the yard. She enjoyed it a lot.
If it were not for Long Siye, she would continue her simple life like this. Unfortunately, after she recovered from her injury, she went to General Long"s residence and saw that the General"s house was sealed. She got to know from the general"s housekeeper that Long Siye was guilty of a crime and that he was being investigated. He was sent to the prison!
It was easy to find out the ins and outs of the matter with Gu Xijiu"s ability. Her thought was in the same direction as Di Fuyi. She thought that the reason why the Emperor Immortal caught Long Siye was to lure her out.
She considered the circ.u.mstances and decided to go to the ninth heaven to meet the emperor in person. The Emperor Immortal was not an easy person to meet. He was busier than a president in the modern world. His schedule every day was full, so if she wanted to go through the standard procedure, she would need to send an invitation to make an appointment.
In that case, she would have to delay her visit for at least a few days. Therefore, Gu Xijiu used teleportation to bypa.s.s all these formalities. When she arrived, the Emperor Immortal was handling official duties in his study room. He was surprised to see her all of a sudden.
Nevertheless, because his skill was high enough, he was not panicked when he saw her.
