In the small garden full of roses, in the attic, Du Ziqi recounted everything that had happened. The girl in white by the window was still cutting a bunch of flowers. Next to her was a stack of flowers, ready to be used for arranging flowers. She put down the scissors and took out a warm white porcelain. She first cut the green leaves and then the flowers. It was a simple flower arrangement technique, but it was obvious that she was very skilled.
Du Ziqi became more and more anxious. "Weiwei, what's wrong with you? Didn't you hear what I said? Your lover has returned. That Xu Longxiang is going to frame him for Lei Yan's murder. Aren't you worried at all?"
Gu Caiwei said, "You went to Sword Province behind my back. How should I punish you?"
Du Ziqi said, "At this time, you're still blaming me for sneaking to Sword Province? If the crime of murdering a fellow disciple is confirmed, no one in the Court Of Sword can protect Yan Li. Just the anger of the Thunder Department is enough to tear Yan Li to pieces. Why aren't you worried at all? Aiya, my Weiwei, I'm worried for you! "
Gu Caiwei said, "Do you know what my biggest gain from learning flower arrangement is?"
Du Ziqi rolled her eyes. "Fine, fine, fine. I know you've gained calmness. But you don't look like you're going to die for me! Don't tell me that Emperor Han has been coming to congratulate you on your birthday every year, rain or shine. You've been moved and fallen in love with someone else? "
"You're wrong." Gu Caiwei said.
"What's wrong with me?" Du Ziqi said, unconvinced. "This Emperor Han always comes out of his own way to celebrate your birthday every year. Others might not know, but don't you know his intentions? He wants to use this method to protect you. He wants the world to know his attitude so that you won't be harassed by other men. " She was a little jealous. "Such an infatuated man, even I can't help but be jealous of you."
Gu Caiwei didn't say anything.
Du Ziqi had no choice but to say, "Alright, where did I go wrong?"
Gu Caiwei said, "First, Yan Li and I have already broken up. We are no longer lovers, so there is no such thing as falling in love with someone else. Second, what I have learned is that any outstanding piece of work has its own unique personality and abundant expressive power. Its very existence will constantly make people associate with it. Just like the secret you heard, you even worried for me. This is the success of this plot."
Du Ziqi blinked her eyes, completely unable to understand the relationship between the two. Suddenly, she stared at the vase, only to see that the flowers and leaves were inverted, and the position of the branches was very abrupt. Not to mention the overall lack of beauty, there were even several basic mistakes, just like the failed work of a novice flower arranger. She didn't expect that Gu Caiwei's heart was in such a mess even though he looked calm on the surface.
"Weiwei, don't be afraid, I will always be with you." She lightly bent down and hugged Gu Caiwei, "With your intelligence, you will definitely have a way to save him."
Gu Caiwei said, "I have already broken up with him, and I have also said that I will not see him again. What reason do I have to save him?"
Du Ziqi smiled, "Have you forgotten that we are both members of the Nine Greats? Seeing a fellow member of the Nine Greats being wronged, isn't it only natural that we lend a helping hand?"
Gu Caiwei said, "On the battlefield, the members of the Nine Greats are as numerous as the hairs on an ox. Neither you nor I went to save a single one of them."
Du Ziqi said, "But Young Master Yan is still different."
Gu Caiwei asked, "How so?"
Du Ziqi said, "He has helped you before, and he has also saved you."
Gu Caiwei said, "That is true, but I have no way of doing it."
Du Ziqi said, "How can you not have a way? You are Gu Caiwei, the omnipotent Goddess Zi Wei in my heart. As long as you use that clever little brain of yours, you will be able to instantly think of countless ways to save Young Master Yan from the abyss of misery. When the time comes, he'll be grateful to you, and he'll regret that he didn't.
Gu Caiwei said, "Sounds good. Let me think about it."
Du Ziqi let go of him, took a stool and sat on the side, waiting with a smile. Then, she noticed a striking red book beside the dressing table. She smiled mysteriously, "Isn't that Young Master Yan's interview record? It's the latest section of the Heavenly Strategies Building in the Human Realm, the first issue of Starlight."
"No," Gu Caiwei said.
Du Ziqi took it and flipped through it. Then, she said mockingly, "It's obvious. There are even wet marks on it. It must be the result of someone crying while looking at it. "
Gu Caiwei said, "I accidentally dropped it on the ground and got wet from the rain. Don't spout nonsense! "
Du Ziqi rolled her eyes exaggeratedly, "How careless must one be to drop the book outside in the rain? Just admit it. You clearly still care about Young Master Yan! Actually, I think that your choice back then was correct. Men should not be spoiled. Why should they be allowed to have multiple wives and concubines? Can't a person only love one person? In the past, there was also a female poet who wrote this: Hearing that the gentleman has two hearts, he came to break off. It can be seen that you are not the only one who has such an understanding. So, you should face your choice calmly. "
Gu Caiwei said, "That is because someone else has a change of heart. That is why she wrote it like that."
Du Ziqi said, "Isn't being fickle a change of heart? Let me tell you, the essence is the same. My Weiwei is so outstanding, so perfect. It is only natural that he should receive a complete protection, and not be half-hearted. Have you forgotten that you traveled the Three Realms in search of a true love? Young Master Yan does indeed have merits that others cannot hope to attain. For example, he could see the meaning of the rose flower to you, or he could see the crux of the conflict between you and your sister. It can also be seen that he is a crafty opportunist, specifically targeting your weakness and successfully subduing you. "
Gu Caiwei said, "Don't say that. I was the one who took the initiative."
Du Ziqi's eyes swiveled, "What? Say it louder?"
Gu Caiwei fell silent.
Du Ziqi sighed, saying, "Of course. Emotions are never something that can be controlled. Even the strongest Sword Immortal would feel dejected because of emotions, wouldn't they? While you, Gu Caiwei, are impressive, you are still not at Su Beike's level, right? So, there is no need for you to feel ashamed. Moreover, Weiwei, don't you think that to love someone, one must love everything about them? "
"You flirtatious hussy, it is clearly you who has fallen in love with Yan Li, and you insist on dragging him into this!" Gu Caiwei suddenly reached out to scratch Du Ziqi's armpit. Du Ziqi laughed and said, "If it weren't for you, I would have long since made a move on Young Master Yan." At the same time, not to be outdone, she retaliated. Gu Caiwei said, "Since the two of you have feelings for each other, why don't I grant your wish?" Du Ziqi said, "Then the two of you should hurry up and get married. I will be your dowry maid, warming your bed and soaking in some rain. Gu Caiwei said," You little flirtatious hussy, you have indeed planned this for a long time … "The two girls joked around for a while, until Du Ziqi was the first to admit defeat and beg for mercy," Weiwei, I can't take it anymore. Please let me go. I won't fight with you over Young Master Yan, alright … Let's hurry up and think of a way. "
Gu Caiwei stopped, saying, "Unless Xu Longxiang tells the truth in front of everyone."
Du Ziqi curled her lips, "Do you know what kind of punishment he will face if he admits to framing me? He won't be able to pay for it even if he's cut into a thousand pieces. How could he possibly tell the truth in front of everyone? "
Gu Caiwei said, "So there's nothing I can do."
Du Ziqi was stunned. She thought about it carefully. They didn't have any evidence on hand, only a groundless truth. Even if the truth was true, how to make people believe it was a huge problem. After all, they couldn't just mindlessly run to the experts of the Court Of Sword and tell them that Xu Longxiang was a despicable and shameless scoundrel. Even if it was the Headmaster, if he went to meddle in someone else's' family affairs', as long as there was no evidence, he would still be chased out.
"What should I do!" She fell onto the couch helplessly, rolling back and forth on it.
"I just changed it. Don't mess it up."
"You're still worried about your bed at a time like this. At worst, I'll just change it for you every day. Hurry up and think of a way!"
"That won't do. I'm not used to sleeping in a new bed. Furthermore, aren't you too concerned about that fellow? You're still saying that you have a crush on him? "
Du Ziqi sat up and looked at Gu Caiwei seriously, "Weiwei, I'm worried about you."
Gu Caiwei turned his head and looked at the garden full of Chinese roses outside the window. He said indifferently, "Actually, it's not that there's no way. Our Lotus Constellation's 《Zither Heart Triple Fold》 has been cultivated to the highest realm. The primordial spirit's power contains the power of restriction. Back then, our Patriarch used this to refine the celestial weapon 'Rain Bell'. If Master is willing to help, under the restriction of the primordial spirit, he can't lie in front of Master. "
Du Ziqi jumped off the bed in surprise, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly go and report to the Headmaster!"
Gu Caiwei said helplessly, "Do you think Master is a chivalrous person who will help when she sees injustice? She doesn't care about the truth. She will first consider the benefits of the Lotus Constellation. Rashly getting involved in the internal strife of other sects will only bring harm to the Lotus Constellation. Furthermore, with Xu Longxiang's cultivation, Master will probably need to waste ten years of cultivation to be able to completely suppress him. "
"Then what should we do?" Du Ziqi racked her brains, but could not think of any ideas. She had to admit that she was not smart enough, and could only be anxious.
Gu Caiwei looked at the garden. He could not help but think of how Yan Li, with his cultivation of the Imbuement Realm, fought against Master and Son of Heaven Han. At that time, did he really lust after her beauty? No, he was only using his own method to fight for her freedom. In the Southern Fields Manor, he did not hesitate to offend his great grandmother. He wanted to protect what his mother had left for him. In the Phoenix Hall, she was the one who could not help but be moved. She chose him as a cauldron. Why should she blame him for being fickle? Could it be that just because she was Gu Caiwei, he had to abandon all the women who had gone through life and death with him for her?
"Shizun will agree." She suddenly leaped out of the window.
Du Ziqi chased after her and said, "Didn't you say just now that the Headmaster prioritizes benefits?"
Gu Caiwei said, "That hasn't changed. As long as I make a compromise …"
Du Ziqi suddenly thought of the interview. She said happily, "Could it be that because Young Master Yan has grasped many supreme arts, the Headmaster thinks that Young Master Yan's talent is higher than Son of Heaven Han, and hopes that you can complete dual cultivation with him?"
Gu Caiwei did not say yes, nor did he say no. Just like that, he came to Xiao Yuruo's room and knelt down to make his request. As expected, Xiao Yuruo agreed, "Master can help you with this matter. But you must be clear, everything must be done with Confucian orthodoxy as the priority. If Master rashly participates in the internal strife of the Court Of Sword, it will definitely leave behind future troubles. If you cannot support the future of Lotus Throne, Master will be the eternal sinner of Lotus Throne!"
"Disciple will …" Gu Caiwei replied in a low voice.
Du Ziqi sensed the sorrow and disappointment in Gu Caiwei's words. She was a little puzzled, but quickly understood. After a night with a cultivation furnace, one would break their love and become a stranger. This was not something an ordinary person could endure.
Xiao Yuruo walked out of the room and glanced at Du Ziqi. She then said to Gu Caiwei, "Let's go. You have to see it with your own eyes before you can be at ease." She then swept up Gu Caiwei and left in a flash of light.
Du Ziqi stood up and hummed a tune. She was prepared to find Liu Yuezhen to show off. But after taking a few steps, another possibility suddenly flashed through her mind. Her face immediately turned pale.
How could it be? Could it be?
She instantly felt as if a knife was twisting in her heart. Tears rolled down her cheeks. After a long time, she wiped away her tears and rushed down the mountain under the suspicion of her fellow disciples.
