Chapter 19 - The City Lord of Blood Glazed City

"……" Gu Qingyu curled her lips, "Jia Qizhe! I sensed that someone is following after us, did you also notice it?"

"This……" Jia Qizhe paused, then followed up with a smile, "I haven't actually."

No? He said he haven't?

Then……

It must be the case!

Gu Qingyu nodded her head, and restored her smiling expression, "Even Jia Qizhe couldn't sense it, doesn't that mean that my senses are quite good?"

However, Jia Qizhe seemed to be lost in thoughts.

Frankly speaking, he was already aware of the existence since they visited the bamboo forest, but he had no clue of who it was. Because the person didn't seem to be inferior to him……

Who could it be?

Hiding in the shadows, the edges of a red robe could be vaguely seen.

They quickly reached the outskirts of the palace, Jia Qizhe halted his steps, "Hey, dummy. Don't drag me down."

"I know!" Gu Qingyu pouted, then in an instant, a pair of snow-white ears grew out of her head, and a tail showed up behind her, "It won't be necessarily me who'll be dragging you down!"

"……" Jia Qizhe remained silent and looked at her. He spoke after a long while, "I'll scout ahead inside, you'll survey the borders."

"Huh? Okay." Gu Qingyu nodded. She knew that she wasn't as skilled as Jia Qizhe, if she insisted on going with him, she would instead just be dragging him down and bring more trouble.

Watching Jia Qizhe submerging into the darkness, Gu Qingyu also lightly tread ahead and sneaked into the tall bushes.

Suddenly, she spotted a person leaning on a tree branch, he was dressed in a red robe, and seemed to be sleeping.

This person……Such nerves! To be actually sleeping in a tree in the Imperial City!

"Go, find out his origins." The man in the Blood Life Jade told her.

Fine, I suppose you won't do me any harm.

She crept up slowly, "Ey……who are you?"

"Heh," The red-clothed man let out a faint chuckle. The way he sat on the tree and looked down on her, actually reminded her of that person who dwelled in the Blood Life Jade, "You can address me as Lord Xue Zang."

Lord……Of course, even the self-proclaimed t.i.tles were similar……One is a Lord, another is a Revered.

"Xue Zang……" Gu Qingyu repeated his name after him, "

"Why can't I sleep here?" The red-clothed man lightly jumped down. He let out a smile, extremely beautiful and alluring, "Is this your home?"

"Oh, not mine" She shook her head, "But this is the Imperial Palace!"

The man leaned closer to her, "But, I came here with you~"

"What?" Gu Qingyu was stunned for a moment, she blinked blankly, then it hit her, "That's exactly what I said! I always felt someone following us! So it's you!"

The red-clothed man smiled and nodded, "It's quite fun to follow you guys~"

"Wh-what do you want?" She stepped back, "Let me tell you, I have the infamous and extremely strong Hero Jia by my side, Jia Qizhe!"

"Who?" The red-clothed man slightly furrowed his brows, as if he was considering something.

Seeing him acting like this……He certainly doesn't know Jia Qizhe……

No way! How could you not know Jia Qizhe!! Then……

Could it be that Jia Qizhe wasn't that famous after all?

What Gu Qingyu wasn't aware of, is that the person in front of her is someone who regarded himself as the most important in the world, and never inquired in worldly matters, the City Lord of Blood Glazed City.

"Ehh…Umm……" Gu Qingyu pondered for a moment, "Then…why are you following me…"

"Because I feel that, " His faint smile gradually deepened into a broad grin, "The Third Miss of Gu Manor, ought to be quite interesting, right?

"Hah?" Gu Qingyu was hugely surprised, "How did you know……" She paused and corrected herself at once, "Why would you be interested in her?"

"No particular reason, I'm just interested~" Xue Zang let his chin rest on his hand, looking all innocent and naive, "As a matter of fact, it's been really fun and amusing following you guys around. Don't you think so? Miss~Gu~"
