"Lan Jingyi is the sister of Jingke . Jingke loved her the most when she was alive . I made a promise to take care of both her brother and sister for the rest of their lives . " Di Fuyi continued in an icy tone, "Gu Xijiu, you'd better dismiss the idea of harming her . "

Gu Xijiu's face was pale, but she still responded with a smile, "No one can ever scheme against my friend and expect no revenge from me . What if I insist that I will avenge her?"

Di Fuyi turned around . "I will, in turn, insist that your friends will be harmed as well . "

He ignored her and went straight into the garden to look for their traces .

Gu Xijiu stood very still . Her fingers were trembling by her side .

She would not mind if it were her that he threatened to harm . She was ready to risk everything . Furthermore, she was curious about what he would do to her . Would he kill her? Would he imprison her? Would he even confine her? She did not care as long as he hurt her . However, it was her friends that he targeted . He was a man of his words . What else could she do?

Her willful acts of damage had got Long Siye into trouble once . Because of her, his spiritual power had been significantly reduced; he even lost his status as a heaven's gift disciple . Would she get the rest of her friends into other trouble?

Therefore, she could never take her revenge against Lan Jingyi . Even if Little Fox was dead, she could not make Lan Jingyi pay for her death . She could not tell how she truly felt right now, whether it was frustration, grief, or helplessness .

The thought filled her with indignation . She took a deep breath, trying to suppress her resentment over his threat .

She told herself that there was nothing to be mad or sad about . It was normal for this stranger to come and threaten her, for he cared about the safety of his lover's sister more than anyone else . He was merely a stranger to her after all . Hence, she tried to adjust her emotional state to calm down .

Then, she decided to continue her search in the plum garden . Suddenly, the directed audio spell started to flicker at her waist . It was Yan Chen . He was anxiously waiting for her news .

Along the journey, Gu Xijiu would stay in touch with Yan Chen every time she resurfaced to catch a breath . She would update him of her current location for him to follow the path .

Since they both agreed that there must be something wrong with the plum garden, she decided to call her friends and ask them for their a.s.sistance .

Once everything had been carefully arranged, she turned and saw Di Fuyi standing not too far away, seemingly waiting for her .

She looked away and wanted to check out other places .

"This place is highly dangerous . You and I should go together . " Di Fuyi approached her .

"That is unnecessary! We should do it separately . It will be faster . " Gu Xijiu turned around and decided to leave .

Di Fuyi held onto her sleeve tightly . "Don't be silly . "

"Screech!" There was a sound of clothes being ripped . It was Gu Xijiu's sleeves . She took a step back and answered icily, "Di Fuyi, when did you become so protective over women? The plum garden is vast . It will be much faster if we search for them separately . "

"Are you still mad at me? I am not showing any bias towards Lan Jingyi . I have checked the traces along the way and am sure that someone has been controlling her . It is not her intention to kidnap Lan Waihu . She…"

"Haha! I understand . Don't worry . I will not harm her . " She interrupted him with a sneer . Having nothing more to talk about with him, she teleported and disappeared .

She remembered a quote from the modern era, saying how open-hearted and graceful it was for a modern couple to befriend each other one another after they broke up, even knowing the other half had betrayed them . They could even visit one another occasionally as if they were still close friends .

She felt that it was the right thing to do back then, but it all seemed like complete nonsense now .

If one could still forgive and treat his or her ex-lover like a friend even after a betrayal, it was surely not true love that they had been through .

In her case, she could never treat Di Fuyi as a friend ever again . It was either love or complete isolation from one another .
