Chapter 1396: You Are Finally Back
Li Mengxia stared at him blankly, then turned to look at Gu Xijiu. She took a few steps forward and fell immediately instead. Surprised and disbelieved, it was too much for her to take at the moment as her voice trembled. "Celestial... Celestial Master Zuo?"
A jade tablet emerged on Di Fuyi’s palm. He turned it around and said, "Master Li, where is the jade plate that I have given to you? Haven’t I told you not to lose it and to guard it with your life?"
Immediately, Li Mengxia’s face brightened up. Tearfully, she collapsed and bowed eagerly before Di Fuyi, close enough to hug his legs. "Celestial Master Zuo, you are finally back! I knew that the man is a fake!"
Di Fuyi used the cleaning spell on her so he could finally see her true face that was concealed under the dust and dirt. Tough as a wolf, she did not shed a tear even with her life hanging by a thread in moments of great despair. Upon seeing Di Fuyi, she could no longer fight back her tears and cried loudly. "Celestial Master Zuo, I miss you so much!"
Gu Xijiu was speechless.
She fixed her eyes on Master Li, the one who used to be high-spirited and vigorously energetic. All she was wearing now, on the contrary, was all ragged and broken. Even without the dirt on her skin, she looked rough and messy, as though she had been through a really hard time. Her tears coursed down her cheeks, as she continued to cry like a child.
Tearfully, she complained. "Celestial Master Zuo, the fake man confiscated and destroyed my jade plate, saying that we must bid farewell to our past and start anew."
Some of the elders and elites who were with Li Mengxia were still being tied up. Di Fuyi flipped his hand at them and a gleam of white light could be seen flashing. Soon, they were released. The ropes were cut away, too. They seemed to have realized that the one who stood before them was the real Celestial Master Zuo, the one they once knew. Excited, these men kneeled and bowed before him in joyful tears, "Celestial Master Zuo! You are finally back!"
