Chapter 2402: The Search (2)
Zhu Duqing had a special connection to the bamboo house, so he quickly made an opening for Gu Xijiu after he heard her knocking. He smiled as soon as he saw Gu Xijiu slowly emerge from his soundproof fortress. "Master, congratulations on the successful alchemy!"
Gu Xijiu was tired, but her spirits remained high. "Where are they?"
Zhu Duqing hissed to convey his disapproval. "Di Fuyi seems to be resting; more accurately, he is meditating. Yun Qingluo is hurt. The men are keeping an eye on her. They are there."
Di Fuyi was sitting at a spot that was not too far away from the bamboo house. Gu Xijiu spotted him almost immediately. Di Fuyi sat with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. He sat there calmly, like a man in enlightenment.
Gu Xijiu’s heart skipped a beat. She always found him unusually charming when he sat like that; it was like someone she knew from a long time ago. Quickly, she moved her eyes away from him and decided to leave him alone. She should not interrupt the man in his meditation. Distracting him could waste his efforts.
Zhu Duqing was still beside her. He took a look at the pill in her hand and asked, "Is this the pill that you have just made? Does it work? Should we wake Yun Qingluo up and let her have a look?"
"No need. I know what I am doing," Gu Xijiu turned down his suggestion. She was confident in her abilities. Also, she did not want to talk to Yun Qingluo anymore.
