Entangled with An Evil Lord

Gu Xijiu pretended that she did not notice the oddity in his behavior. "There has been quite a big fuss here, but none of the soldiers seem to have been alerted. Don’t you think it is a little strange?"

Perplexed, Yin Jiusi had thought the same. He was prepared if any troops were to approach him, but not one soldier showed up at the peak. He was smart enough to make the correct speculation. "Divine Lord, you are the one helping me, aren’t you?"

Gu Xijiu softly answered, "I have not done much, actually. I have only secured the peak with a soundproof wizardry barrier."

Even though it did not sound like much, it was the very help that he needed.

Yin Jiusi bowed before her as a token of gratitude. "Thank you very much, Divine Lord."

Anxious and slightly doubtful, he asked, "May I know what brings you here? Are you really here just to help me out?"

"I am here to talk business," Gu Xijiu smilingly said.

"Business? What sort of business?" Yin Jiusi looked at her in bewilderment.
