Although Lan Waihu did not have a great ability, she was very good at recognizing people. After she calmed her mind and looked at Di Fuyi, she could immediately recognize him. When Lan Waihu said it out, everyone got stunned, and they invariably stepped back.
Zhang Chuchu suddenly shouted, “Xijiu, be careful!” This was not to alert her about the Nailed-Tooth beasts but to make Gu Xijiu aware that Celestial Master Zuo was beside her. Di Fuyi was smart enough to understand that. He smiled sarcastically. It was the first time in his life to be treated like a murderer.
He believed that if the nailed tooth beasts did not flank them, these people would have come over to pull Gu Xijiu to their side to keep her away from him. Still, they stared at him with watchful eyes as if he would suddenly attack Gu Xijiu. Fortunately for Di Fuyi, their attention was soon distracted by the light issued by Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi when they started to attack the beasts.
Occasionally, both of them stood back to back and sometimes they flew up together side by side. The flame from their hands had never stopped. Every flame issued was in cloud form, and all the clouds would trap seven to eight at a time.
Their movements were smooth and perfectly fitted with each other. They moved around the Nailed-Tooth beasts, and there was a flame around them. It looked fascinating.
Every one of them had been very worried by the attack. However, at this moment, the beasts were getting dissipated, so they could finally feel relieved. Lan Waihu and Zhang Chuchu even clapped and cheered, “Nice!”
“Burn them! Burn them all!”
Since the crowd did not know how to use the Tiandu Cloud move, they could not help Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi. All they could do was to try not to make things difficult for the two of them.
To avoid attacks from the beasts, Yan Chen gathered everyone together and put the ladies and people with the lower spiritual power in the center, while he and Qian Lingyu stood at the outer part of the circle. The two of them would use flames to keep the beasts away.
After half an hour, all the Nail-tooth Beast had gone, and the mist had dissipated. Everyone survived the crisis and finally felt relieved.
All eyes fell on Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi now. It was apparent that they were confused eyes. They wanted to come over to talk to Gu Xijiu, but they had scruples in their heart.
Qian Lingyu paused for a moment and decided to ignore Di Fuyi. He directly asked Gu Xijiu, ” Xijiu, where have you been all these years? We almost turned the continent upside down to find you.”
“It’s true. We were sent to look for you. Headmaster Gu even sent all the spies in Tianju Hall…”
“Xijiu, your spiritual power has greatly improved!”
“Xijiu…” Everyone started to ask countless questions and ignored Di Fuyi.
Lan Waihu cared about her friend. She boldly walked over and held Gu Xijiu’s hand. “Xijiu, come over, I have something to tell you…”
She tried to pull Gu Xijiu away from Di Fuyi.
Gu Xijiu knew what their concern was so she smiled and did not move. She patted Lan Waihu’s hand to hint her to keep quiet. She glanced through the crowd and stopped at Lan Yue. “May I know who this is?”
Everyone looked at each other, and his or her facial expression seemed a bit unpredictable. Zhang Chuchu, who was always outspoken, blurted, “He is our schoolmate who joined Tianju Hall five years ago. He is also the fiancé of Waihu.”
Gu Xijiu felt heavy hearted. Just now when she heard the conversation from outside the mist, she already expected some unusual events between Yan Chen and Lan Waihu. However, she never expected that Lan Waihu actually had a fiancé. What about Yan Chen?
