At that very moment, a series of questions crossed her mind. She fixed her gaze on his animal skinned wristband. If it were possible, she would like to take it off his wrist just to take a closer look at it. She was so deeply absorbed in her thoughts that she did not hear anything Rong Che had just said. "Xijiu? Xijiu?"
Gu Xijiu finally recovered from her own thoughts. Lost, she looked at Rong Che, "Ah?"
A light flickered in his eyes. "What were you thinking of? It kind of hurt my feelings seeing you distracted right in front of me," said Rong Che, half seriously half-jokingly.
Gu Xijiu rubbed her forehead, "I am sorry. Hmm, what did you say?"
Rong Che fixed his gaze on her face, "Xijiu, your medical skills are also rather astonis.h.i.+ng. Could you cure my brother and the soldiers?"
Gu Xijiu shook her head, "I can only tell after seeing the patient. Don"t worry, Overlord Long"s medical skills are even better. If he is willing to help, I think the poison that your brother and the soldiers have should be able to be cured."
Just as she finished her sentence, a lady"s voice could be heard coming from downstairs, "Is Mr. Rong here?"
The voice was pleasing to the ear and sounded like the tinkling of little silver bells. Gu Xijiu"s heart sank. She was very familiar with the voice. Although she had only heard it a few times briefly in a conversation, she would never forget it. It sounded like Ye Hongfeng"s voice.
She had met up with Ye Hongfeng once before Long Xi put her on anesthesia for the operation. Even though it was only a brief conversation, her arrogant manner of speaking was enough to leave a long-lasting impression on Gu Xijiu.
Moreover, Gu Xijiu"s time travel was directly related to her. It was impossible for Gu Xijiu to forget about her. However, the Ye Hongfeng that she had once met was domineering with an overbearing arrogance, and yet the lady from downstairs seemed gentle and delicate.
Rong Che stood up and said, "Overlord Long must be here already. I shall go and take a look." He then left the room.
A conversation could be heard from outside.
"Siye had some urgent affairs to attend to, and so he will be slightly late. Therefore, he sent me here to notify you about it."
"It is all right. I shall wait a little while longer then. It must have been a burden for you to make your way here, would you like to join us?"
"Sure."
A few moments later, Rong Che entered the room with a lady.
Her face was covered with a thin veil, only revealing her big and beautiful eyes. Her appearance resembled the Xiaolongnu from the television series, as sprightly as a fairy with ethereal lightness.
Gu Xijiu looked at the lady with her eyes half shut. She could not exactly describe how she was feeling at the moment.
Her eyes were sharp enough to recognize that this lady was the one that Long Siye had been keeping in the ice coffin. She was finally alive.
It seemed like the rumors were true – Ye Hongfeng had traveled through time to get here. The body seemed like a good use to her judging from the current situation. She had even acquired some spiritual power.
Long Siye had not lied to her the other day. The body was indeed his perfect creation, and it had been created with an endowment for spiritual power. She seemed like she had already achieved a spiritual power of level five.
Gu Xijiu had always thought that seeing her again would make her feel awful. Instead, she could feel herself at ease without being swayed by her sentiments.
"Ah, you have other guests?" The lady"s eyes lingered between Gu XIjiu and Di Fuyi. She fixed her gaze on Gu Xijiu for some time, and there was a sign of astonishment in her eyes.
"They are my friends. We coincidentally encountered each other here, so I invited them to join me. This is Ms. Gu, Gu Xijiu from Tianju Hall. This is…" Rong Che continued to introduce them to one another.
was trying to conceal his true ident.i.ty, Gu Xijiu did not give away too much when she introduced Ying Yannuo as Di Fuyi was trying to conceal his true ident.i.ty. She only mentioned that he was her friend"s brother and said nothing more. Therefore, Rong Che did not seem to keep Di Fuyi in mind.
