Pride and Bias 5

編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation

With a flash of a silhouette, Gu Xijiu blocked Yun Qingluo, which seemed to have shocked her. Then, she slightly shifted her fingertip, and the powerful yellow light was shifted towards the direction of Gu Xijiu!

With a swift move, Gu Xijiu avoided the yellow light.

The yellow light struck a little hill not far away from her back which caused the hill to quake and collapse.

If Gu Xijiu did not avoid fast enough, she probably would have been killed!

"What’re you doing?" With a shout from afar, the teenager who just helped Gu Xijiu in building her roof quickly came over and stood beside her.

When he noticed that person was Yun Qingluo, he was stupefied and lowered his volume, "Miss… Miss Yun, why… why did you attack Gu Xijiu?"

Yun Qingluo looked sorry, "Xijiu, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect that you would block my way all of a sudden."

Accident?

The teenager took a sigh of relief.

"Then, who did you want to strike actually?" Gu Xijiu did not believe her guilty look and smiled vaguely at her.

"I wanted your pet to release my friend… but I didn’t expect that you’d come over suddenly. Luckily… luckily you avoided it…" Yun Qingluo sighed.

Gu Xijiu did not say anything anymore.

Yun Qingluo was lying!

Gu Xijiu was proficient, and she knew that Yun Qinglu did it on purpose! She just wanted to have Gu Xijiu killed!

If she killed Gu Xijiu, she could say that she accidentally killed her while saving her friend. Gu Canmo, who saw Gu Xijiu as an eyesore, would not investigate the case if Yun Qingluo managed to kill Gu Xijiu by "accident." Then, Gu Xijiu would die in injustice.

However, because the teenager suddenly appeared, Yun Qingluo could not strike again in front of him and said she did it accidentally. She had to act affectionately.

Gu Xijiu saw through her plot, but she did not want to reveal it yet so that she would not do something desperately. Furthermore, Gu Xijiu was not as talented as Yun Qingluo. She was also alone without any support. Therefore, it was foolish if she turned on her now.

Gu Xijiu kept quiet after she took a glance at her.

Yun Qingluo sighed, "Xijiu, I’m glad to hear that you’re here. I’m here because I want to give you something." She took out a futon from her storage space and handed it over.

Gu Xijiu did not accept it but turned over and continued to grill.

Yun Qingluo felt rather awkward and sighed, "Xijiu, we used to be friends but you treat me like this… is it because of Celestial Master Zuo?"

Gu Xijiu frowned, "Huh?"

Yun Qingluo sighed again, "I know that you used to be engaged to Celestial Master Zuo. I didn’t know back then when I got closer to him. It is excusable as we’re heavenly gifted disciples and thus we have more topics to discuss. Besides, Celestial Master Zuo does take care of me, and he sent me here. Therefore, I’m grateful for what he has done for me."

Gu Xijiu was rather impatient, "What are you trying to say?"

Yun Qingluo pursed her lips, "I don’t like to beat around the bush. I’m here to tell you that I like Celestial Master Zuo and I want to chase him…" As she uttered those words, she took another glance at Gu Xijiu.
