No one in the world had the same power as Gu Xijiu; who else was capable of disappearing in an instant? Her superpower had filled the crowd with awe .

Some of the people quickly bent their knees and uttered, “Goodbye, Divine Lord . ”

Di Fuyi caught himself contemplating, while gently tapping on his bamboo flute in his palm . There was hardly anything that he could not solve, but he had no idea why she rejected the invitation . Was she annoyed? He wondered

“How did your power increase almost twofold?” Back in Tianyin Valley, Gu Xijiu was trying to find out more about Fan Qians.h.i.+'s latest developments .

Silently, Fan Qians.h.i.+ remained on the ground, kneeling .

“Speak!” Gu Xijiu had no patience for the boy .

Scared, Fan Qians.h.i.+ guiltily confessed, “Qianyan's life was at stake, leaving me no room for any delays, so I went for the most stupid idea . After leaving the restaurant, I ventured into the forbidden land of illusions and took an illusionary fruit…” His statement ended in a stammer .

Gu Xijiu answered somewhat sarcastically, “Although the fruit can increase your power, the effect will only last temporarily for four hours . When it is over, your nervous system will be greatly damaged, and it might restrict your spiritual power to only half of what you used to possess . Haven't I told you that it is not worth the price? Have you forgotten it all?”

“I… I have not forgotten your words . I was desperate for a way out . ”

“So what if you managed to level up your power? Could you defeat Yao Xingye? What you have done completely puts your own health at stake . Why didn't you think properly before you acted? Did you really think that I would let Qianyan die?”

Fan Qians.h.i.+ had never seen her so frustrated . “I now know my mistake,” he timidly said, without even looking at her .

Gu Xijiu glared at him . “You did this on purpose, didn't you? You did this because we fought . ”

Panicked, Fan Qians.h.i.+ broke out in cold sweat . “I dare not . I did not act rashly because we had a fight . I was only worried that you were not in good condition to fight them all alone . I… I only wanted to help . It is my fault . In fact, I did not help at all . Instead, I became another burden of yours . I am sorry for my mistake . I deserve to be punished . ”

He continued to kneel while being drenched in a cold sweat . Even Wu Qianyan joined him to beg for Gu Xijiu's forgiveness .

Gu Xijiu observed them both and continued, “Fan Qians.h.i.+, I once told you that the use of illusionary fruit was forbidden, and yet you did the direct opposite of what I said . Your punishment is unavoidable, though I can sympathize with your intention . Find your way into the ice cave in the hills and stay in isolation for a month . ” She then threw him a bottle of medicine and said, “Use this to treat your injuries . ”

She took another look at Wu Qianyan . “You are going, too . ”

Relieved, Fan Qians.h.i.+ quickly thanked her for her forgiveness . He knew that the ice cave was the most suitable place for him to recover for the time being . Since his punishment was a.s.signed to him based on his needs, he knew that she cared .

Wu Qianyan was relieved, too . She was happy with the arrangement . She had always wanted to be closely a.s.sociated with Fan Qians.h.i.+, but the interaction was not mutual . The month-long stay in the cave was the chance that she had been looking forward to .

After a.s.signing appropriate tasks to her disciples, Gu Xijiu finally had time for herself . She went to her treasure room and placed all of her items back where they belonged . Those were the things that Yao Xingye had unapologetically taken without her consent .

Some of the items were equipped with magical powers, which were required to support the wizardry barrier that kept the valley safe . She could not simply keep them away in her storage .

This place used to be a safe place, but the raid on her home changed her mind . Before she went away, she added a few more barriers to increase its security .

It had been a long day for her, so she was actually a little tired . No one knew herself better than she did .
