Lu Sangjiu was in a bit of a bind, but she soon felt relieved.
'Actually, according to the original novel, Gu Jue and Ye Zhiyao parted ways not long after they left Qishan. His fated opportunity wasn't in the land of her inheritance.'
'So she couldn't just force him off his path and make him miss his own fated opportunity, all so he could help her, could she?'
So, Lu Sangjiu nodded readily. "In that case, I won't insist."
"But I have important things to do and can't waste any time here. So... Mr. Gu, Liu Dao You, we'll part ways here. Take care!"
Liu Xi was a little surprised. "Ah... you're not going to wait for us?"
'She really liked being with her senior brother, of course, but being *only* with her senior brother... had to be said, was pretty boring.'
She found Lu Sangjiu rather agreeable, and since Lu Sangjiu had driven away the detestable Ye Zhiyao right after returning, Liu Xi's opinion of her had improved even more.
