Gu Xijiu was too lazy even to move one of her fingers while thinking about the previous conversation. “What plans do you have? Let me know. You have met the other heaven’s gift disciple, haven’t you? How did they respond? Were they being controlled?”
“You were right. Similar to what happened to the four messengers, they were controlled. However, Tian Jiyue was proficient in his skills, and, like Mu Feng, he had only been controlled for three days. However, he did think that I had suddenly become overly ambitious, and as he failed to fix the problem, he kept me within his kingdom to isolate me from the outer world. Qian Yueran and Hua Wuyan were more heavily controlled, causing them to join him in some of his wrongdoings. Your medicine was effective as the venomous poison in their bodies were cured…”
Di Fuyi spoke more about what he learned that day. Gu Xijiu heaved a sigh of relief. “Finally, they know who is the actual Celestial Master Zuo then.”
Di Fuyi played with her hair as he responded, “We have been friends for centuries. It is natural that they know me well… except for when they were being controlled. When I relieved them of the control, they were desperate to kill the clone…”
Gu Xijiu shook her head, “It is not time to be desperate to kill the clone. The people still hate ‘Celestial Master Zuo’ deeply, and this sense of hatred will not cease even if someone popped up and killed the clone. We need to wait for an appropriate time to let the people know that it has always been the clone being involved in all the wrongdoings. In fact, both the clone and the fairy are on the same side. They possess spiritual powers beyond the tenth level and quite a huge number of disciples. Even if Qian Yueran gives his all, it would merely cause a couple of lives to be sacrificed.”
Di Fuyi kissed her on the lips again and spoke, “How smart! So it is still time to plot, and not to harvest now.”
Gu Xijiu frowned. “We were initially plotting in the dark, but now that Long Fan is aware of our presence in the outer world, he would keep his guard up even if he had no idea of our plans. He will definitely come up with some tricks…”
Di Fuyi smiled. “Let us see what tricks will he come up with.”
“What do you mean?”
“Long Fan’s carefully-devised plan right now is not entirely open to the clone. There are some issues that he has yet told him. The only thing he will do is to alert the clone that we are here in the outer world. In fact, he will not alert the clone as long Siye to avoid problems for himself. He will have to find some middleman to do this instead. The clone has been above mankind for two years, making his greed now insatiable. Once he receives the news of my return, he will find a way to remove me – definitely using all of the lands to capture us. He cannot do this in the open, and will instead find an excuse to put all of the lands into action. That will bring a wave of chaos. If he fails to find us, he will set up traps and create problems so unforgivable that they will lure me into the open. When that happens, we will seize the opportunity and make a comeback!”
Gu Xijiu was quick-witted as well, only unfamiliar about political matters. Now that Di Fuyi enlightened her with his analysis, she finally understood. Looking at Di Fuyi, she claimed, “How sly are you! What an experienced politician! I suspect they would be left confused, only too late…”
Di Fuyi smiled and his eyes flickered. “Whoever dares to trick me needs to pay for it!”
Gu Xijiu felt more excited and tried to stretch. Di Fuyi met her gaze for a moment. “Baby, what is wrong?”
Gu Xijiu sighed. “I realize how pitiful it is to be your opponent, to be so brutally tricked by you. Luckily I am your wife and not your opponent…”
