"Miss Gu, do we want to pay a visit to Elder Kun?" Feng Ruhuo had been subconsciously treating Gu Xijiu as her new leader ever since the incident from before.Gu Xijiu shook her head. "No, Kun Xueyi"s ident.i.ty has not been exposed yet. If my guesses are accurate, the monitoring facilities in the golden room have been repaired. If we go blindly, we might get into unnecessary trouble. Let"s go Zhengde Square to check the place out."
"What about my Xiao Chi?"
Gu Xijiu frowned at the question. She took a deep breath before responding. "I believe that Xiao Chi has fled or..."
"Or what?"
"Or it is now hanging in the most prominent location in Zhengde Square, waiting for us to be hooked!"
Feng Ruhuo remained silent. She gripped her fingers so tightly that they were starting to turn pale.
After a long pause, she tugged Gu Xijiu"s sleeves. "Let"s go back!"
Gu Xijiu raised her eyebrows as she thought that Feng Ruhuo would be desperate to save the snake. She did not expect...
"Xiao Chi is my spiritual pet. It is very precious to me, but we should not expose our plan now."
Gu Xijiu breathed a sigh of relief. Feng Ruhuo was one of Di Fuyi"s guardians. Fortunately, during this critical moment, she was still able to see things clearly.
She bit her lips and patted Feng Ruhuo"s shoulder gently. "Do not worry, Yun Yanli will surely use Xiao Chi as bait to lure us out. He will not let it die. I will try to save it tomorrow."
Feng Ruhuo nodded. "Understood. What do we do next?"
"I have to go to Zhengde Square for a while." Gu Xijiu wanted to survey the place in order to make the specific arrangements.
"You sit in the restaurant first. I will come back to get you later."
"Miss Gu, let me be with you. It will be safer. Rest a.s.sured, even if I see Xiao Chi hung there, I will not take any action." Feng Ruhuo did not agree to separate from her.
"No, you should go to the restaurant. You can find out more information if you are there. It only from knowing yourself and knowing the opponent that we can win the battle." After Gu Xijiu finished her sentence, she did not wait for Feng Ruhuo"s reply and had teleported away.
Feng Ruhuo had no other option than to enter the restaurant and continue to listen to the gossips from the people. To her surprise, she indeed heard some useful information. Since Leguo City had not experienced the blood rain for more than ten days, the people had become greatly suspicious of Yun Yanli. Many masters had been secretly investigating the matter.
All of a sudden, Gu Xijiu had returned to the restaurant to meet with Feng Ruhuo. Just as they were about to teleport away, the street suddenly became crowded. Someone shouted, "The City Owner and his future lady are walking around the city!"
Gu Xijiu"s heart pounded as she looked down from the window. The pedestrians on the street had automatically retreated to both sides to free up s.p.a.ce for the important guests to walk by.
The ten guards at the front cleared the path for a carriage to pa.s.s the street. The style of the vehicle was not too fancy, but it still looked elegant. There were two people sitting side by side inside — one with a white robe and the other with a green dress.
The young man in white was handsome and elegant. He looked like a man of n.o.ble status but also carried an evil aura around him. This person was Yun Yanli.
The lady in green beside him was beautiful, like a fairy. There was a green veil on her face that only revealed a pair of clear watery eyes. Catching a glimpse of her was enough to make any person tremble. This was "Gu Xijiu. "
The entire scene was overwhelming for the real Gu Xijiu as she stood and watched. Especially when she saw Yun Yanli holding the hand of "Gu Xijiu." Each finger had crossed one another while "Gu Xijiu" was seen leisurely leaning on Yun Yanli.
