Gu Canmo had been informed beforehand. He had heard the story of Gu Xijiu having breakfast together with Di Fuyi in the morning. Therefore when Gu Xijiu and her two companions approached him, he was not surprised and immediately agreed to their request.He then dismissed Lan Waihu and Qian Lingyu, leaving only Gu Xijiu behind with him. He then asked, "Have you decided whether you would like to be with Celestial Master Zuo in the future? Are you putting on an act?"
Gu Xijiu took a deep breath and nodded, "I am not acting." She was now determined not to be with Di Fuyi, so she denied it.
Gu Canmo sighed, "However, Overlord Long"s feelings for you is rather sincere… What you have done would hurt him…"
Gu Xijiu felt guilty. She looked down and said, "Yes, I do feel sorry for him." She knew that she had hurt him. She thought to herself that she would look for an opportunity to pay him back.
Gu Canmo sighed again, "This is not the right solution to the situation. In fact, as long as Celestial Master Zuo wants something, there is nothing that can stop him from getting what he wants. No one could stand up to him. He even stole one of Tian Jiyue"s disciple from him in the past…" He paused when he talked about it. Then he shook his head and waved, "In conclusion, just be cautious and don"t let your feelings shroud your judgment. You are a smart girl and should, therefore, take care of your studies well. Alright, you can go now."
Gu Xijiu knew that Gu Canmo was not someone who liked to gossip and he always treated her nicely, so she always heeded his advice. When Gu Canmo finished his sentence, Gu Xijiu was able to catch his main point,
"He stole Tian Jiyue"s disciple? Do you mind telling me more in detail?"
Gu Canmo shook his head, "It is all history, and I don"t want to bring it up anymore. If you want to know more, I suggest that it would be better for you to ask him in person.
Gu Xijiu replied, "Alright." Then she turned and walked out.
Gu Canmo looked at her leaving and shook his head.
Gu Xijiu possessed a rather extraordinary talent which was not commonly found in others. He did not want to see her life being ruined by this relations.h.i.+p.
Gu Canmo had seen a lot of different people in this world. However, he could never understand Di Fuyi. He was very mysterious and unpredictable. Sometimes the actions he took were unethical. He was like a flying dragon in a cloudy sky. People could only get a glimpse of his true nature but could never see the whole picture of him, which instinctively made people feel that he was dangerous…
It was rare to see such a man fall so deeply in love with one woman.
However, if Gu Xijiu had to choose between Long Siye and Di Fuyi, Gu Canmo would rather see her picking Long Siye.
His love towards Gu Xijiu was sincere as well, and it would make the others feel more secure knowing that she was staying beside Long Siye.
As for Celestial Master Zuo… No one would ever know if his love towards Gu Xijiu was sincere or just for show.
Maybe he just liked to steal other people"s loved one? How sincere was he to Gu Xijiu? In the end, it might just end up being the same case as the disciples of Tian Jiyue whose soul had dissipated…
Usually, Gu Canmo did not gossip about other people. However, he did not hold back this time and tried to give her some hints. He hoped that by doing so, Gu Xijiu would be able to make the right decision by not falling into Di Fuyi"s trap.
...
Gu Xijiu came out from Gu Canmo"s place. She was a smart girl, and though she was slightly affected by the words of Gu Canmo, she did not bother too much about it.
She remembered the time when Tian Jiyue ambushed her in the cave; she had asked Di Fuyi about the resentments between him and Tian Jiyue. Di Fuyi did not give her a detailed explanation that time but instead chose to skip the topic.
