Chapter 1497: Death For The Whole Family
He still had not come back home. Luckily, he would stay connected with Gu Xijiu once every two days to give her peace of mind.
She took a look at the moon. It was the fifteenth of the month. He had not been in touch for the past two days. Even if he did not plan on coming home, he would definitely talk to her via directed audio.
She returned to the house but decided to skip her meditation, as she was concerned that Di Fuyi would want to speak to her. If she insisted on meditating, she would inevitably be distracted anyway. It would not bring any good to her practice. To her surprise, she did not receive any news from Di Fuyi after waiting for him all night long.
Throughout the night, she tried to connect to his amulet so many times, but none of her attempts made it through. Di Fuyi must have turned off his amulet. Whenever he decided to turn it off, he must be doing something extremely dangerous that required his full attention. He must not be distracted even for a split second. Therefore, Gu Xijiu decided to stop looking for him, as she was concerned that her interruption might disrupt him.
In his letter, Di Fuyi once said that the Tianmo Jade [1] that had been placed in Tianju Hall was no ordinary one. It seemed mystical, which did not belong to their world. Neither did it look like Long Fan’s creation. Presumably, there might be another power hidden behind the scenes. The purpose of his departure was to investigate the curious case.
Di Fuyi’s investigation was a secret mission. No one else knew about it except Gu Xijiu. To prevent any leakage of information, Di Fuyi would avoid telling her anything about the progress of his investigation. He would only tell her not to worry and ease her mind.
He seemed to be in a rush every time they spoke to each other. Their conversations would usually end after a few words. There would not be any passionate exchange of affection. The main point was to let each other know that both were safe and sound.
Gu Xijiu waited the whole night, but no call came through. Suddenly, one did! It was from Baili Ce. "Xijiu, I have bad news! Your family has been arrested by the Feixing Kingdom for charges claiming that your family has secretly conspired against the kingdom. They have been imprisoned and soon, the day after tomorrow, they will all be publicly executed."
