When Zi Jin ran to Gu Ying's door, she was already panting heavily. She did not even have time to rest but immediately knocked on Gu Ying's door!
Moments later, Gu Ying opened the room's door and when he saw Zi Jin standing outside the door panting heavily, her face red to the ears, a glint of doubt flashed in his eyes. But very quickly, a gentle smile climbed up onto that handsome countenance.
"Zi Jin? Why are you here? "Gu Ying looked smilingly at Zi Jin, considerately stepping aside to invite Zi Jin into the room.
This was the first time Zi Jin had come to him on her own accord and from the looks of it, something seemed to have come up.
In the past few days, Gu Ying had tried to worm something out of Zi Jin's mouth and although Zi Jin had held back, she had still unconsciously revealed some secrets and that was a point that even Zi Jin herself had not noticed.
Zi Jin walked quickly into the room and after Gu Ying closed the door, Zi Jin immediately turned to face Gu Ying, her eyes unusually grave.
"Young Master Gu, do you believe me?" Zi Jin suddenly opened her mouth to ask.
Gu Ying was slightly taken aback, but his smile became even more gentle.
"Why would you ask that?"
Zi Jin was no longer in the mood to appreciate Gu Ying's handsome smile. Her heart was burning with anxiety, burning her so much that she could not find peace.
"You only need to tell me, whether you believe me or not."
Gu Ying said with a smile: "If I don't believe you, how would I have been able to converse so happily with someone I do not trust all these days? And how would I have allowed someone I do not trust to appear in my dreams? "
Gu Ying's words were as sweet as honey, but they did not make people feel sick of hearing them, but instead caused the irritation in Zi Jin's heart to slowly dissipate bit by bit. She drew in a deep breath and looked at Gu Ying. Suddenly, she raised up a hand and peeled off a mask from her face.
At the moment that unassuming mask was pulled off, a bright and pretty countenance suddenly appeared before Gu Ying's eyes.
"Young Master Gu, I am really sorry. I have been lying to you all this while. I am not a disciple of the Shadow Moon Palace. I ….. I am from the Spirit Jade Palace ….." Zi Jin had mustered up all her courage to reveal the truth before Gu Ying. Towards her own deception and concealment, it had made Zi Jin uneasy all these days. Gu Ying had been so sincere in bringing her along, how could she possibly respond with a lie?
Her actions today, was to prove to Gu Ying that she was sincere.
Gu Ying's eyes flashed with a smile, but his face was one of utter shock.
"You ….." He had not even finished his words when he suddenly walked over to the side of the door and cocked his head to listen for any movements outside the door. After ascertaining that there was no one outside the door, he then turned around to look sternly at Zi Jin.
"Today, no matter what you say, no matter what you do, I will pretend that I do not know anything about it. Before you leave the Pure Grace Palace, you will be a disciple of the Shadow Moon Palace and you must not reveal your identity. Do you understand?" Gu Ying said as he looked at Zi Jin solemnly, admonishing her sternly.
Zi Jin bit on her lip. Gu Ying's reaction warmed her heart. He did not feel the slightest bit of disgust towards her just because she was a disciple of the Spirit Jade Palace, but was instead concerned about her, afraid that she would be in danger if her identity was exposed.
Gu Ying's actions had made Zi Jin firmly believe that her choice today was the right one.
If Jun Wu Xie wanted to wreak havoc in the Twelve Palaces, she would not object to it. But people should not drag innocent people into Hell just for their own sake!
Zi Jin drew in a deep breath and suddenly said: "Young Master Gu, I have come here today because I have something to tell you."
"Just say it." Gu Ying said.
Zi Jin plucked up her courage. "Someone wants to harm you!"
