This tactic was somehow dirty, but it was meant to minimize casualties. Even though Gu Xijiu did not quite have firsthand experience in politics, she understood the general rules. It was just that she could not get involved in them herself.All of a sudden, Gu Xijiu found herself staring at him in a daze. She somehow felt that she had seen him before, perhaps a few years ago. It was as if she recognized him from the past and knew deep down that he would be a decisive figure who could control the world and the life of people. But who he really? When she came back to her senses, she noticed Di Fuyi looking at her with a complicated expression on his face. "Who are you thinking of?"
Her eyes were clearly on him, but it seemed that she was looking at another person through him, which made him a bit uncomfortable. Apparently, this person was really sensitive!
Gu Xijiu did not want to talk anymore. She got up and replied, "You have overthought. Well, since you don"t want to enter the Devil Kingdom, for the time being, let"s just split up here. Contact me again when you want to go in."
When she was with him, she felt inexplicably pressured. All she wanted now was to escape. But just when she was about to leave, she was grasped by Di Fuyi. "We can go in now, come with me."
Gu Xijiu was speechless. She subconsciously looked at the hourgla.s.s and noticed that it was only half an hour past the time when they were supposed to enter the Devil Kingdom. Evidently, when he said that he would delay the visit, he only meant to delay it by half an hour.
...
A melodious tune from silk bamboo sounded in everyone"s ears. There was an azure s.h.i.+p in the air with ten waiters and ten maids at the back of the vehicle. White threads seemed to be floating on the vessel as the s.h.i.+p stopped in the clouds. This scene was unusually grand and also quite extraordinary.
The people in Huanglai City had just witnessed an exceptional scene. They had seen various luxury cars of the dignitaries from the human and devil world, but it was the first time they had seen such a spectacular vehicle in front of their very eyes. Needless to say, many onlookers were gossiping with one another to identify the owner of the vessel.
When Gu Xijiu saw the s.h.i.+p, she could not help but look at it a few times. She commented casually, "It seems that the owner of this vehicle is a very unconventional figure. He actually got a boat to fly in the sky, dazzling like a peac.o.c.k opens its wings."
"Baby, this is my ride. Let"s go." Di Fuyi whispered in her ear and then pulled her by the hand and flew up onto the floating boat.
Gu Xijiu was speechless. She thought that Di Fuyi would enter the devil world quietly, and then secretly wait for an opportunity to take action. She did not expect him to be so high-profile! Was he trying to make everyone aware of his presence?
Moreover, this s.h.i.+p was so big and so dazzling. When it was flying in the dark sky of the devil world, it was merely a live target for his enemies. Wasn"t he afraid of people in the devil world who wanted to plot against him?
Di Fuyi had been traveling around the six realms for so many years, so there were quite a lot of people who could actually recognize him. What"s more, after he got on the boat, the little fairy boy who stood at the bow of the s.h.i.+p opened up a big banner. The word "Di" fluttered in the wind. It seemed this man wanted everyone to know his name.
The people on the ground were fiercely discussing the matter when they saw the banner from below. These years, Di Fuyi"s name was so famous to the extent that even the common people were so excited when they heard his name. People in the human world and the devil world were secretly hoping that he could come to their own world because his arrival represented reformation and hope that the people could live a comfortable life in the future.
Now that he finally appeared in such a high-profile manner, the people were naturally excited and speculated about the purpose of his visit. Of course, the spies of the devil and human worlds had also quickly sent the news back to their own circles. While people were still guessing the purpose of Di Fuyi"s arrival, they also noticed that Gu Xijiu was with him.
