Instead, they knew a lot about the stories between Lan Jingke and Huang Tu. The two of them were indeed engaged couples. They fought together side by side, and Huang Tu assisted Lan Jingke to ascend the throne. They were a couple in everyone’s eyes. In the end, Lan Jingke sacrificed her life for Huang Tu to build his empire, while Huang Tu also worked very hard to help Lan Jingke’s brother, Lan Yaoguang, to be the king. He had not married until now.
After she sent these people away, something did not sit well with her. ‘Gu Xijiu, what exactly do you want to know? What do you want to prove? Do you think that if Lan Jingjing and Lan Jingke were really a couple, then that would mean that Di Fuyi’s love for Lan Jingke was fake? Is there a hidden reason why he was so cruel to you?’
It turned out that she was too stupid and naive! In the depths of her own heart, she still tried to find an excuse for Di Fuyi. Fortunately, the relationship between Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi had been ended. She would be alone in her future life.
No one in the world was inseparable from someone else. Time would be the best medicine for all the pain. She would be able to walk out of this situation in the future. This was not the first time for her to get hurt. She had experience.
She would eventually be able to move on. If not in three years then maybe in ten years.
…
Gu Xijiu did not stay in mermaid palace anymore but returned to shore. She returned to the general’s house. She had been away for more than ten days and there were many changes.
The resilience of the people was still very strong. Before Gu Xijiu left the mainland, there were still many ruins everywhere. When she returned this time, it was thriving! The people began to live and work in peace and contentment.
When Gu Xijiu returned to the general’s house, she did not see Gu Xietian. According to the chamberlain, Gu Xietian had now gone to Fanye City. He had been in Fanye City for more than ten days and had not returned.
Gu Xijiu was quite shocked to learn this news. Fanye City was where Luo Xinglan lived. It seemed like Gu Xietian had discovered that Luo Xinglan was still alive and had desperately chased after her.
It was still unknown whether he would be able to get Luo Xinglan back or not. Their reunion would certainly be amazing, but a broken mirror cannot be pieced together again. There would still be cracks that cannot be erased.
Gu Xijiu did not want to bother about matters between Gu Xietian and Luo Xinglan. She contacted Luo Zhanyu instead. Luo Zhanyu was not in the capital but went to other cities because of the nuisance Gu Xietian was to him.
Luo Zhanyu was very happy to hear Gu Xijiu’s voice. The first thing he did was to ask her when her wedding with Di Fuyi was scheduled to be.
Gu Xijiu silently mocked her older brother. He always knew how to make things worse for her. She did not respond initially but later on simply told him the truth. “We have separated and we will no longer have a wedding.”
Luo Zhanyu had always been cool-headed and wise but all that had gone out the window now. He raised his voice, “What?! What’s going on?! He abandoned you?”
His concern almost made Gu Xijiu deaf. She quickly moved the directed audio spell firther away from her ear. “Don’t shout, it is not what you think. Anyway, don’t ask about it. I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”
Luo Zhanyu was quite straightforward. “Where are you now?”
“The General’s house. Where else can I go? By the way, General Gu is not at home. He seems to know that our mother is still alive. He went to Fanye City and has not returned for days.”
