Chapter 1941: Collaboration (3)
Gu Xijiu desired to regain her powers; she would be unable to do so unless the mechanism was eradicated. It would thus be no easy task, for the core of the mechanism, coined as the "Tree Palace" sustains a myriad of half-orcs about it.
As Mr. Fuyi told Gu Xijiu the entire case about the mechanism, Gu Xijiu furrowed in anxiousness. It was asserted that attempts at entering the "Tree Palace" would be fairly troublesome, for its entrances have been all closed. Gu Xijiu’s lack of spiritual power would make it impossible for her to do so.
Gu Xijiu wanted more information. She looked at Mr. Fuyi and said, "You’re alone here, yet you don’t seem to be afraid!"
Gu Xijiu was a fairly percipient person; thus, she had readily perceived that Mr. Fuyi was no weakly individual; his strength was as formidable as a mountain. However, there was an inundated amount of half-orcs here that possessed the power of gods; even Gu Xijiu would thus not pose any challenge against them. She was sure that the best guards would surround the core of the Tree Palace. If Mr. Fuyi’s identity is divulged, albeit his possessing great ability in fighting, he would be unable to win.
Mr. Fuyi understood what Gu Xijiu meant; thus, he colloquially laughed and said, "Sacrifices are necessary to lure the enemy out."
Gu Xijiu was pensively ruminating; it was then that the sound of a bell emanated from outside. "Mr. Fuyi, open the door, please."
Gu Xijiu then hid behind her bed drape. "Let him in; I have a plan."
After that, Mr. Fuyi invited the person in. A minute after, Gu Xijiu attacked the person, and he fell onto the ground. She killed him with ease. Gu Xijiu proceeded to remove the clothes of the dead man.
Mr. Fuyi glanced at her in a furrowed expression, stopping her. "What are you doing?"
