Long Siye seemed to be in pain. "Is it because of him?"
Gu Xijiu nodded. "It's for myself."
"Since you like him so much, why did you run away from the wedding eight years ago?"
Gu Xijiu did not want to tell anyone about the relationship between her and Di Fuyi. Hence, she answered vaguely, "It was a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, we are together."
Long Siye looked at her for a moment and sighed. "As long as you are happy." There was a hint of sadness in his voice.
Gu Xijiu smiled. "Instructor Long, you can be happy too. I hope that you can find your own happiness." Although his happiness had nothing to do with her, she really hoped that he could find his lover and be truly happy.
Long Siye moved his eyes away and poured a cup of tea for her. "I hope so."
Both of them continued to chat for a while. Suddenly, there was a noise coming from outside. Long Siye frowned and looked at Gu Xijiu. "Did you not come alone?"
Gu Xijiu thought of Li Mengxia. "No, I came with Master Li Mengxia. Your place is heavily guarded, and it is not easy to come in. So, I asked her to wait outside. Is she trying to barge in?"
Long Siye shook his head. "She has a fiery temper. It must be hard for her to wait." He raised his hand and cast a spell. Then, he sent a voice transmission. "Let her in."
A moment later, Li Mengxia barged in like a gust of wind. She was relieved when she saw the two of them drinking tea. "Xijiu, why are you here for so long? I thought you were plotted against. "
Long Siye used the lid to sip the tea in the cup. "She is the safest here. How can I let her be plotted against? Master Li, you are worrying too much. "
Li Mengxia was relieved when she saw that Gu Xijiu was safe. She found a seat and sat down. "Overlord Long, the security here is really tight. It is harder to enter than the palace. It is harder to see you than to see the emperor …"
Gu Xijiu's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Long Siye. Long Siye smiled and said, "It's been a turbulent time recently. I'm also afraid that there might be spies with ill intentions sneaking in from the outside, so I've tightened the security these two years."
Gu Xijiu was half-serious and half-joking. "Not only is the security tight, but I also feel that there is a clear hierarchy among your disciples. I disguised myself as the lowest disciple here and kowtowed countless times …"
Li Mengxia chimed in, "Yes, yes. Overlord Long, you were not like this before. What happened to you?"
Long Siye looked down and smiled faintly, "People change. Perhaps I am suddenly enlightened. As a man, it's better to have a noble status. "
This sentence seemed to have a hidden meaning. Gu Xijiu wisely chose to remain silent, but she finally understood the reason for Long Siye's change.
It should be because of her, right?
Long Siye thought that she had fallen in love with Di Fuyi because his status was higher than hers.
However, he did not know that she had never fallen in love with Di Fuyi's status. She even retreated because of Di Fuyi's status. However, she did not want to explain it to Long Siye as it was useless.
However, Li Mengxia disagreed. "Overlord Long, look at what you're saying. It's as if all the girls in the world are snobbish. A man's charm lies in his personality. It's not something that can be solved by a noble status. "
Long Siye seemed to realize that he had gone overboard with his words. "I'm sorry, I'm too shallow. I'll punish myself with a cup of tea instead of wine."
Li Mengxia did not pursue the topic anymore. She smiled and said, "Then, I'll drink with you. I'm thirsty too."
The three of them chatted for a while. Long Siye was very straightforward. Since he knew that the one who was stirring up trouble outside was a fake, as a heaven's gift disciple, he had to go out of the mountain and help to quell the rebellion. It was his duty.
Gu Xijiu liked it very much. She immediately asked him to gather all the alchemists in the world. Everyone would gather at the Tianxia Inn in Fenglai City five days later …
Long Siye agreed readily. The three of them chatted for a while.
After all, Gu Xijiu and Long Siye had not seen each other for eight years. Unknowingly, the sky had turned dark while they were chatting.
Gu Xijiu did not feel hungry. After all, her spiritual power was already at level ten. She had learned the art of fasting. She would not feel hungry even if she did not eat for a few days. On the other hand, Li Mengxia's stomach began to growl. Long Siye heard it and smiled. "What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you. "
Gu Xijiu looked at Li Mengxia. Li Mengxia did not know how to be polite. "I heard that the Tianwen clan has a lot of medicinal cuisine. Why don't we have a plate each? Let us try it. "
Long Siye nodded. "Sure." Just when he was about to call someone in, Gu Xijiu said, "We're here in secret. It's better if fewer people know about it. If too many people know about it, the fake one will be on guard."
Long Siye nodded. "You're right. Don't worry, I'll prepare it myself …" He stood up and was about to leave.
Gu Xijiu did not want to trouble him anymore. She did not come here for a meal. Moreover, she had promised Di Fuyi that she would try to rush back tonight. Now that she had settled everything, there was no need for her to stay here anymore. Hence, she stood up and said, "Let's go out for a meal. I want to eat at the Fengxian House in Weilai City."
Weilai City was not far from the Tianwen clan. Gu Xijiu had a meal at the Fengxian House in the city before. Hence, she was familiar with the place. Hence, she suggested to go there.
Long Siye paused for a moment and glanced at Li Mengxia. "Master Li, don't you want to eat the medicinal cuisine of the Tianwen clan?"
Li Mengxia touched her nose. "I'm just saying. It doesn't matter if it's medicinal cuisine or not. As long as there's good food, it's fine."
What she said meant that she had agreed to it. Hence, Long Siye did not say anything else.
…
Long Siye booked a private room in the Fengxian House. The three of them ordered a few good dishes and ate and drank there.
Long Siye did not like to drink, but he felt a little strange tonight. He ordered a big jar of wine and did not forget to explain to Gu Xijiu and Li Mengxia, "This wine is called Red Apricot Blossom. It tastes good. It's a special brew here. Please try it." He poured a glass for both of them.
Li Mengxia liked to drink. She had a lot of social activities and friends. Hence, she had trained her alcohol tolerance to be very high. To her, drinking was as easy as drinking water.
Gu Xijiu also had a wedding wine, but she did not drink when she was on a mission. She did not want to drink this time as well. After all, it was a critical time for her to get drunk. However, she and Long Siye had reunited after a long time. It would be inappropriate for old friends to not have a drink. Hence, she drank. Of course, she did not drink too much and tried to drink as little as possible.
The three of them drank and talked at the same time. Naturally, they also discussed the next step. Long Siye drank very quickly. When the meal was over, he was already slightly drunk.
