In the past few months, Gu Xijiu's status had been rising. Although she did not admit that she was a member of the mermaid tribe, the king of the mermaid tribe had recognized her as his sister. Almost every month, he would visit Gu Xijiu's house.
Among the three kingdoms, two of the monarchs were her friends. The monarch of the Zhaoyang Kingdom did not want to be isolated, so he often sent messengers to express his goodwill to her. Among the heaven's gift disciples, except for Hua Wuyan, who always disliked her, the rest had a good relationship with her.
Even Hua Wuyan only ignored Gu Xijiu because he felt that Gu Xijiu had stolen Di Fuyi's limelight. He was unhappy and ignored Gu Xijiu, but he did not make things difficult for her.
Overall, Gu Xijiu had a smooth life these days. She seemed to be very satisfied.
…
It was New Year's Day again.
This year's New Year's Day was exceptionally lively for the people.
The people who had experienced the hardships of the past cherished the peace now. It was the first year of peace, so they had to celebrate it happily.
Gu Xijiu's Celestial Master's house was also very lively. It was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and almost everyone was smiling.
Gu Xietian's wrinkles had disappeared from his smiling face.
The past few months had been the happiest for him. Although he still had a long way to go after his wife, fortunately, Luo Xinglan was no longer as cold to him. She could even talk to him occasionally. Although it was just about their children, it was enough for him to feel happy.
Gu Xietian's spiritual power had increased rapidly because of Gu Xijiu, a high-level alchemist, who often gave him some rare pills. As his spiritual power increased, his appearance also changed. He looked younger and more energetic.
Although his son did not recognize him, they still met often. Gu Xietian was always humble and eager to talk to Luo Zhanyu. He did everything for him. Luo Zhanyu was embarrassed to keep a cold face to his father, so he would occasionally talk to Gu Xietian.
All in all, everything was developing in the right direction.
On the afternoon of New Year's Day, Rong Jialuo invited all the officials to a banquet. He invited all the influential people.
Since the Emperor had invited them to the banquet, everyone had to show their respect. Other than Di Fuyi, Celestial Master Zuo, everyone had arrived, including Long Siye.
Clothes were worn, and wine glasses were exchanged.
The place was filled with beautiful flowers and it was extremely lively.
Gu Xijiu sat in the middle and looked at the hall full of people. Suddenly, she felt lonely and out of place. She knew everyone in the hall, but the person she subconsciously wanted to see the most was not here …
When that person appeared, all the people here were like the background beside him. Now that the background was here, why didn't he appear?
Why was he not here when everyone else was here?
Damn it!
She sat at the banquet table with a smile on her lips. She drank the wine that was offered to her and toasted to others. She would laugh when she heard someone telling her a joke …
She drank another cup of wine and looked around at the beautiful flowers in the hall. Suddenly, she felt a little scared!
Was this the epitome of her future?
The hall was bustling with activity, but she felt an indescribable coldness.
Crowns covered the entire capital, but this person was only haggard. It was a kind of desolation in the midst of prosperity, a coldness that seeped out from the bones.
Di Fuyi, I can still live well without you. I just don't know how you are doing.
And where are you enjoying yourself?
