Among the four people present, one was The Lord, one was the overlord of the Tianwen clan, one was the disciple of The Lord, and the last one was a prince.
Gu Xijiu felt sorry for Rong Che.
He was here to give her a ride. Not only was he wronged, but he was also assigned by The Lord to make tea...
She was the owner of the place, so she should be the one to make tea.
Therefore, she helped him from time to time, such as passing him a cup.
Rong Che was very calm. His handsome face was smiling as usual. His smile was gentle like a gentleman, and there was no sign of impatience. Every action of making tea was so smooth.
Long Siye seemed to have something on his mind. He was absent-minded as he drank his tea. He looked at Gu Xijiu from time to time.
Gu Xijiu, on the other hand, calmly sipped her tea, ready to deal with the situation as it came.
While drinking, Long Siye could not help but ask, "My Lord, since you are staying here, why not let Headmaster Gu arrange another courtyard for Miss Xijiu? Firstly, she can practice her Kung Fu, and secondly …"
Before he finished his sentence, The Lord interrupted him, "She can stay in the backyard."
He had already arranged for the four messengers to stay in the front courtyard, and he would temporarily stay in the middle courtyard. Gu Xijiu could stay in the backyard. All three courtyards were put to use.
Long Siye paused, "My Lord, since you are here, why not let me be your protector?"
Rong Che also volunteered, "I am willing to stay and protect you."
The Lord was silent for a moment, "What are you worried about?"
Long Siye and Rong Che were speechless.
Both of them wanted to explain, but The Lord had already asked them to leave, "It is late, you should go back."
No one dared to disobey The Lord's order, so Long Siye and Rong Che left even though they were not satisfied.
As it was late, Rong Che could not leave. He still went to Yan Chen's place.
Long Siye went to the courtyard that Gu Canmo prepared for him to rest.
The hall became quiet again.
"My Lord, are you still suspecting Rong Che?" Gu Xijiu asked.
"Huh? How did you know? "
"When Rong Che was making tea, you were watching him carefully. You were checking if he was hiding his Kung Fu, right?"
"You're very smart." The Lord did not deny it.
"What--do you see anything? Xijiu has been paying attention to his movements. His steps for making tea are exactly the same as usual. "
Gu Xijiu had drunk tea with Rong Che a few times before, so she knew his steps.
Once a person's habit of making tea became a habit, it was very difficult to change. Everyone's tea making habits were different.
"Are you familiar with him?"
"When we were in the capital, we had tea together a few times. He was very nice to me and helped me a few times." Gu Xijiu did not hide her relationship with Rong Che.
The Lord looked at her for a moment and faintly said, "You may know a person for a long time, but you may not know his heart."
Gu Xijiu did not know why, but there was a fire in her heart. She was very protective of her people, and she did not want to hear anyone who was a friend of hers speak ill of them.
Gu Xijiu replied, "I trust him!"
The Lord knocked on the tea tray and asked calmly, "Don't you trust me?"
Gu Xijiu was speechless.
She paused and refuted him, "I believe The Lord, but I also believe that my friend is innocent!"
