"Who is Grand Master?" Gu Xiaoxi’s long eyelashes fluttered, not recognizing the unfamiliar term at all.
Zi Yun smacked her forehead, only then remembering that Your Highness Lan Xi had returned early and definitely hadn’t remembered past events yet.
"Grand Master is the master of you, Young Master Mi Xi, and the Crown Prince. In his lifetime, he has only taken the three of you as apprentices. He has missed you so much with none of you by his side for a hundred thousand years."
Gu Xiaoxi nodded. So, it was her master.
"And my mother?" Gu Xiaoxi asked. To resolve her problems, she could only find her mother.
"She is in..." Zi Yun hadn’t finished speaking when a newcomer’s voice disrupted everything.
"Lan Xi, you finally returned."
Along with a woman’s coquettish exclamation, the next second a red mist in the air drew a rainbow, charging straight at her.
Gu Xiaoxi looked up to see a woman in a bright red fairy dress holding a sword, her eyes filled with ruthless intent as she swung down at her, muttering, "I’m going to kill you."
Without thinking, Gu Xiaoxi quickly gathered Spiritual Energy in her hand. A beam of white light as sharp as a sword shot into the sky, distorting the air. Endless power clashed with the woman’s sharp sword.
With a "clang," the woman’s sword broke in two, and her body was knocked flying by the white light.
Gu Xiaoxi looked indifferently down at her, as the woman lay on the ground with a trickle of fresh blood at the corner of her mouth.
"Who are you?" Gu Xiaoxi felt baffled. Where had this enemy come from, who seemed to wish her dead?
"Bitch, why don’t you just die." The woman in red cursed loudly, clearly unable to match her strength, especially in such a disheveled state, frustrated at being unable to do anything against her opponent.
"Your Highness Li Huo, please show some respect when speaking. Our Highness is the only god in this world. If your mouth continues to spew filth, you will not be let off lightly," Zi Yun said, stepping forward angrily to intercept the woman in red.
Afterward, she explained to Gu Xiaoxi, "Your Highness, she is the daughter of Lord Bai from Taibai Hall. She has been infatuated with the Crown Prince of the Nine Heavens. But since the Crown Prince is enamored with you, that’s why she is being rude to you. I will inform Lord Bai so that he can discipline this wild girl properly."
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi nodded in understanding. It turned out to be a case of "love turned to hatred."
"Just now, you cursed me, and I injured you; I won’t hold it against you. But if you act disrespectfully again, I don’t think I need to inform your father. I will personally teach you how to speak." Gu Xiaoxi was naturally not a temperate person. Having suffered the frustration of being trapped and reincarnated by King Yama for several years, she was really not in a good mood at this time.
This woman was cursing her, even trying to kill her.
She didn’t maim her, solely because she hadn’t recovered her memory and didn’t know who the woman was or how influential her background was. Causing trouble on her first day back wouldn’t be good.
However, if she continued to harass her, then she would no longer be polite.
"Don’t think just because you’re a divine being that you are untouchable. Even gods can die. If you can’t manage your affections properly, the Heavens will only sentence you to death. It’s no big deal to wait another hundred thousand years for another god to be born. I believe the creatures of this world won’t go extinct just because you die." Li Huo seemed to have lost her mind with anger as she stood up, wiping the blood from her mouth, and continued to scold, "Bitch, you probably don’t know yet. Your death is near."
Gu Xiaoxi’s breath deepened as she sensed a terrible message in her words.
If she couldn’t handle her emotions properly... the Heavens were ready to execute her!
Were these groundless rumors, or was the Nine Heavens conspiring something?
