The plum forest was unusually big . The winding paths of the forest led into a tranquil depth where the ground was sprinkled with the petals of the red plum flowers . When travelers walk past and trample on the leaves like dirt, one cannot help but feel a certain sense of cruelty .
Gu Xijiu held a petal in her hand and took a closer look . The petal was quivering on her palm, and thin streams of red dripped through the creases of her palm like blood .
She was surprised by the phenomenon . In her impression, plum flowers should not be flowing with liquid this red .
Just when she was about to take a closer look, a light breeze started to blow nearby, and Mu Feng appeared once again above a clump of plum flowers not far away from her .
This time he was dressed as himself . When he alighted in front of Gu Xijiu, she was shocked and took a step back . She exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
Mu Feng coughed lightly and handed a jade tablet he took from his waist to her . "Miss Gu, my master has sent me to deliver this to you . He said it's for your ease of communication with him . "
She was not unfamiliar with this jade tablet . It was Di Fuyi's special tool of communication; the four heaven's gift disciples each had one and they were all different . The jade tablets used by the four messengers were able to transmit sounds and images, however, those used by the four heaven's gift disciples only retained the former function .
The jade tablet that Mu Feng presented to her was the same as those possessed by the four disciples .
Gu Xijiu had no intention to receive the tablet . "Tell your master that I do not have any need to communicate with him and thereby would not be needing this tablet . "
Mu Feng seemed to know that she would reply in this exact manner and did not withdraw his outstretched hand . "Lady Gu, my master has said… that it's important for you to care about the bigger picture . Although you are not a heaven's gift disciple, your status is no longer different than theirs; what they have, you must have as well . Unless…"
"Unless what?" Gu Xijiu asked almost instantly .
Mu Feng sighed . "My master said that he believes that Miss Gu is someone who does not mix private interests with public matters and would not be of trouble to me . "
In other words, Gu Xijiu should accept the jade tablet unless she still could not forget about her relationship with him and allowed her private affairs to impede her responsibilities .
Although he did not state it overtly, Gu Xijiu was astute and could grasp his implication . Her fingers tightened in her sleeves . So he would take advantage of her just like that? Why?
Mu Feng feared that she would not accept the item . He scratched his head and said, "Miss Gu, my master said that if you don't accept this tablet… he would skin me alive…"
Gu Xijiu gave a tranquil smile . "Don't worry . Even if he skins me alive, he won't skin you . I won't receive this jade tablet, take it back with you . " Upon finishing her sentence, she began to leave .
Mu Feng tried to catch up to her, and he walked beside her as he said, "Miss Gu, please accept this . Even if he doesn't skin me alive, he might cast me into the Mysterious Fire Land for punishment…"
What a capable fellow this Di Fuyi is!
Gu Xijiu's footsteps halted a little . Mu Feng took this opportunity to kneel before her and held the jade tablet up high . "Miss Gu, please sympathize with me . . . . "
The sight of Mu Feng, who had always been seen in elevation, kneeling in the snowy ground not only shocked Gu Xijiu but the people around her as well .
Before she knew it, Mu Feng had already put the jade tablet in her hand . He bowed to her and said, "Thank you for your kind sympathy . " He then flew away .
Just when Gu Xijiu was deliberating whether to destroy the jade tablet, the directed audio spell on her waist began to flicker .
She put the jade tablet in her sleeve and picked up the directed audio spell, from which she could hear Long Siye's voice . "Xijiu, the Wisdom Fruit has ripened early, and I've already plucked it . When would you visit the Tianwen clan? This Wisdom Fruit is quite special and needs to be used within three days . You…"
