Chapter 1701: That Was All In The Past
Since he had successfully taken over Rong Jialuo’s identity, how did Gu Xijiu unravel his secret? Gu Xijiu pinched her now pale red lips and answered calmly, "Rong Jialuo was once my friend." Gu Xijiu knew her friends well enough, and that included Rong Jialuo.
One’s temperament might differ due to the change in his or her social status. One’s personality, however, would not change to an undistinguishable extent.
Although he always put on his grim expression, Rong Jialou was naturally a little shy and introverted. For the past few months, ’Rong Jialuo’ behaved somewhat similarly, with a lack of amiability; but Gu Xijiu could still notice his mild sense of evilness through his eyes. That was when she started to suspect his true identity.
Before this, she even tried to perform several tests on him secretly, but the results remained normal, which led her to assume that she overthought the whole situation.
However, for the sake of his safety, she would perform some spells on Rong Jialuo every time she visited the palace to expiate the sins of the sorrowful souls.
Rong Jialuo was the kind of person with the ability to bring troubles to himself. With or without his attachment with Mo Zhao, she would still look after him in secret. Even though he was still Rong Jialuo, it would be best for her to know where to find him if one day he was unfortunately kidnapped by Mo Zhao.
Mo Zhao was a smart man. He understood the underlying meaning of Gu Xijiu’s answer. "Xijiu, you are so kind to Rong Jialuo. I was once your friend, too, but why didn’t you look after me like you did to him?" He sighed.
Gu Xijiu responded with a smirk, "I once treated you as a friend, but that was all in the past." Ever since he became Mo Zhao, he had been doing so many evil deeds that went against all moral codes and humanity. How could she treat him as a friend like before?
