Gu Xijiu gave him a casual reply, "Why? Are you checking on me?"
Yun Yanli answered cheekily, "I dare not. I am just worried about you."
Gu Xijiu pretended to look around and told him exactly where she was at the moment. "Are you done with your work?" She asked keenly.
"Not yet. Xijiu, please be careful. I’ll see you in Luo Hua City later on; probably in a month or two."
"No worries, you go ahead with your work. I do not know where to continue searching anyway, so there is no point to trouble you."
