Chapter 2797: This Was Revenge.
Gu Xijiu was infuriated by how he looked. "Why do you look so shabby?"
Fan Qianshi was no longer in clean clothes and his usual grace. Instead, he looked like a complete mess. His robes were all crumbled and even torn. Furthermore, the coarse texture of his hair was unbearable to the eye. He must have left his hair unwashed for a long time. Drawn and pale, he had obviously lost a lot of weight since she last saw him.
Gu Xijiu was never one who cared about beauty. Nonetheless, she was annoyed by his shabbiness.
Fan Qianshi finally understood Gu Xijiu’s concern. Abruptly, he stopped walking toward her and gave an apologetic bow. "Master, I will be back soon." He then left.
His sudden change surprised Gu Xijiu, to say the least. It did not take him long to come back. Only this time, he came back as a new person. His robes were neat and tidy, which finally matched his effortless grace.
"Master, you have finally come back! I have been looking for you for long enough!" Fan Qianshi seemed relieved by the sight of her. His eyes lingered on her suggestively, as he took a step closer to her. Needless to say, he was too fearful to do anything inappropriate. "Master, where have you been? People from all six worlds have been looking for you. I was worried that something bad happened, so I kept looking everywhere for you."
"Have they been looking for me? What for?" Gu Xijiu was confused.
She was not surprised by her disciple’s effort to locate her, as she had never been away from him for so long. However, her lack of involvement in the six worlds had never caused any problems before. She hardly even showed herself in front of the common people throughout the course of her life. Hence, her month-long disappearance should not be a big deal at all to them.
