<strong>Trantor:</strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion<i></i><strong>Editor:</strong>EndlessFantasy TrantionAfter some thought, Gu Xijiu left the vicinity. She did not immediately go with the soldiers, however. Instead, she went to see Zhao Fengxing and his men to ask for their secret protection of the n leader in the temple. Zhao Fengxing agreed, so she left. She wanted to ask Di Fuyi for help, but he already left to the city center to find out more information about the ce. He had note back yet.
Knowing that she was about to attend to the invitation, Zhao Fengxing was worried for her safety. “Xijiu, I will go with you,” he offered. The governor seemed like an evil man, so he was worried that Gu Xijiu might be harmed.
Nheless, Gu Xijiu rejected his kind offer. “Don’t worry. I can go by myself.” She could not risk offending the man. After all, she needed to make sure that the vigers had a ce to stay, so she had to respond to his invitation.
Her Kung Fu was not as good as the governor, but she could teleport. Also, she was not afraid of any poisons. Therefore, she was not too concerned.At that moment, she wanted to find out if Ye Ling was really Ye Nu.
…
The ce was well furnished with jade pieces everywhere that had gold finishing. Scrumptious food was filled at every corner of the table. The ce that Ye Ling invited her to go to was a very luxurious restaurant.
The waiters of the restaurant were wearing formal clothes. Additionally, they appeared to possess great Kung Fu as well. Aspared to the people who lived in poverty in the outskirts, the life of these waiters could be considered as moderately high standards of living.
Ye Ling had to show Gu Xijiu his sincerity by ordering all the good food that was rarely avable, filling the entire table. When Gu Xijiu finally saw Ye Ling, he was leaningzily on the railing. Behind him, two beautiful women were busy messaging and fanning him to keep himfortable.
His purple robes shone brightly under the light of the luminous night pearl. Under the glowing light, the dragon embroidery on his robes appeared lively. His dark hair hung loosely, and the fox’s eye on his headband shimmered with a sh of red.
He rose to acknowledge her arrival, smilingly. There was a sense of evilness in his smile. “Miss Gu, I thought that you would bring some men along with you. Please, sit.”
Gu Xijiu sat down across the table and responded politely, “Governor, you have only invited me alone, haven’t you? How can I bring others with me?”
Ye Ling was impressed. “Not bad, Miss Gu. You are indeed, confident.”
Gu Xijiu answered with a tight smile, “Why did you request to see me? Is there anything that I can help you with?”
Ye Ling let out a chuckle. “There is nothing to help. I am curious about you, so we are only here to talk.”
Gu Xijiu was a good strategist, so she did not mind such an invitation.Ye Ling treated her politely, but with a sense of superiority. Perhaps, he felt that he was above everyone else, as though he was the king of the world. He did not care about the lives of themon people at all.
Ye Ling was seated opposite Gu Xijiu and started talking with confidence andposure. He asked about the life of the vigers and where she and Di Fuyi came from.
Gu Xijiu did not answer his questions fully, nor did she tell him about their origins from the Upper Bound. The circumstance was unclear, so it was best that she yed it safe. Under his authority, there were many things that she should not say. She was worried that he would use her words as his weapon.
Before she came, she had figured out a series of well-thought answers to entertain his questions. Despite conversing for some time, Ye Ling still failed to extract any useful information from her.
Initially, she thought that Ye Ling was insecure about her and Di Fuyi and that she would be bombarded with questions about the two of them.Instead, she realized that he was more concerned about the life of the vigers. More urately, he wanted to know more about the n leader.
