Gu Xijiu estimated that three days of rest would be enough for her to return to her normal routine . She should be able to venture into the vortex again for yet another round of cultivation .

Di Fuyi offered, “I am here to cultivate, actually, for at least two months . Meanwhile, I can take care of you until you can take care of yourself . ”

Gu Xijiu was relieved by his benevolence and righteousness . If she only knew that he was such a kind gentleman, she would not have controlled him by using a spell in the first place . Speaking of which, she started wondering if her spell actually ever worked on him . Did he grow immune to the spell halfway through, or was he even controlled at all? Baffled, she decided to ask .

After a brief pause, Di Fuyi decided to put her curiosity to bed . “The spell was powerful, but I found a way to build a resistance against it . As soon as you cast a spell on me, I already knew how to free myself from it . ”

Gu Xijiu was a little annoyed . “So you just pretended to be under control… Did you treat my situation as a joke?”

“I wanted to see what you were going to do to me,” Di Fuyi answered .

“I see . So you have been pretending all this time . Why did you suddenly stop?”

“No point doing it now . Besides, I refuse to be taken advantage of any longer . ”

Silence filled the air for a moment .

Although it was not a big deal, Gu Xijiu was still a little despaired, for she had been rejected by the same person far too many times . “Are you really that reluctant to be my disciple? Do you know how many people have I rejected?”

Di Fuyi gave her a nonchalant look . “Go after them, then . Why bother me?” He was right . Nothing done forcibly was going to be agreeable .

“Humph . Someday you are going to regret this . ”

Di Fuyi did not seem to mind at all . “I will never do anything that makes me have any regrets . ” Also, he would never do anything without reason . Everything came with a plan .

Gu Xijiu silently agreed . There was no disputing that . Anyway, she did not feel like arguing anymore, for she could never win . At this point, she would even lose in a fistfight .

With everything said and done, Gu Xijiu decided that it was time for her to drop the matter and meditate . However, as soon as she sat down, he immediately pulled her up . “You cannot do this alone . Let me help . ” He then pulled her into his arms and sat her down on his lap .

He did not seem to any form of awkwardness despite them sitting together at such close proximity . Gu Xijiu, however, was clearly uncomfortable . “I do not need your help . I can cultivate on my own . ”

She started to struggle, but Di Fuyi quickly held her down by the waist and stopped her from s.h.i.+fting about . “Why are you struggling? You should know that you will recover better in my arms,” Di Fuyi answered in a puzzled tone .

Obviously, Gu Xijiu knew that was the case, but she was still uncomfortable . “We are not exactly close to each other . Shouldn't we keep a distance?”

Di Fuyi questioned her point, “That is strange . Before this, you kept trying to get close to me, didn't you?”

Gu Xijiu could not reply at first, for she did not know how to handle his accusation . Nevertheless, she needed to correct him, “You have always been a disciple to me . I was injured, so it was only necessary that you took care of me . Plus, the minor skin contact was unavoidable . However, now that you refuse to be my disciple, it does not feel right for me to trouble you any longer . ”

Di Fuyi froze momentarily . Swiftly, Gu Xijiu rose and walked out of his embrace . She went to another corner of the room and started meditating on her own .

Meanwhile, Di Fuyi watched as she became completely absorbed in her meditation . All of a sudden, a sudden sense of recklessness struck him . He used to have the privilege to be by her side, but he pushed her away .

As for Gu Xijiu, her recovery did not happen as planned . After a month, only ten percent of her spiritual power was recovered .
