Chapter 2034: The Search
By disclosing a heavenly secret, it would add more negative variables in its master’s future. Therefore, the Firmament Stone zipped its mouth as if it was mute to avoid any mistakes. It was afraid that Gu Xijiu would continue asking, so it tried to escape. "Master, I need to continue my isolated cultivation." However, before it shut itself down, it added advice for Gu Xijiu. "Master, follow your heart!"
Gu Xijiu remained silent but took a deep breath. She had quite a number of scruples recently; she wanted to wait for Huang Tu to return as she did not want to fail him. Thus, subconsciously, she denied Shen Nianmo and only treated him as a target of her mission.
Indeed, she had a strange feeling for Shen Nianmo. She paid more attention to this kid and did not feel disgusted by his ambiguous actions. It would certainly be great if he were the reincarnation of Huang Tu; then, she would not feel guilty if she fell in love with him. But what if he was not? There would only be two outcomes- it was either she let Huang Tu down, or she hurt Shen Nianmo in the end. However, that was not what she wanted. Thus, she did not want to give any hope to Shen Nianmo before she could confirm.
Confusion hit Gu Xijiu hard over the last few days, but now, she had a clearer mind. One day, she would find out the truth! For now, she still had to complete her mission, and just go with the flow. The only thing she could do was not to give him any hope before she found the truth. Moreover, he was still very young; it was not appropriate for him to be involved in relationship matters yet. It seems that helping him to focus on his cultivation was a better idea.
Thus, Gu Xijiu would have to wait until he becomes a Mighty Immortal before she could make the next move.
"Master, I can smell the mussel! It was here four days ago..." Lu Wun ran over excitedly.
Gu Xijiu regained her consciousness and quickly leaped onto its back. "Great! Let’s find it!"
