After being overly nervous when she opened the door last time, Lisa was much bolder this time. She only stood behind Gu Qiqi and didn’t hide.
When the door opened…
A man appeared in front of them!
Lisa didn’t know this man, but Gu Qiqi did.
Although the man had covered most of his face with a veil, the vicissitudes and fiery scars in his eyes still betrayed him.
The old man with the fire scar!
It was the old man with the scar who had kindly warned her about the witch doctor at the bistro.
Gu Qiqi turned sideways and let him in. “What a coincidence. So you’re going to Ghost Island too?”
The old man with the scar looked very carefully around the corridor before he ducked in and nodded. “Yes.”
“But how did you know that I was in this room?” Gu Qiqi narrowed her eyes and felt puzzled.
She was dressed like a man!
Lisa was even more wary, her eyes full of distrust as she looked the strange old man up and down.
The old man with the scar was calm. He pointed at Lisa, who was behind Gu Qiqi. “I recognize her. She’s the little songstress from that day, right? Although her hairstyle and clothes have changed, I can still see her former appearance. The people at the tavern said that she eloped with you. So wherever she appears, you must be there.”
Gu Qiqi coughed.
Was her skill at disguising Lisa really that bad? Even an old man with poor eyesight could tell?
“When I got on the boat, I saw you from afar. I didn’t dare to recognize you because you had changed into men’s clothes. Actually, I wasn’t sure when I opened the door just now. I was just trying my luck… I wasn’t sure it was you until you invited me in…” The old man rubbed his hands together.
Gu Qiqi held her forehead. So she was the one who exposed herself in the end!
“As for your roommate… Lady, oh no, I should call you Young Master Ye now. Young Master Ye, you still don’t know, right? The news that The Nineteenth Witch ordered people to send you wine and fruits has already spread throughout the entire cabin. I wonder how many young talents are envious and jealous of you…”
Gu Qiqi coughed. “Cough, cough, cough, cough!”
In the past, she had always accidentally attracted the hatred of many jealous women. Why did life become like this?
Wait.
The Nineteenth Witch? Don’t tell me…
Seeing Gu Qiqi’s confusion, the old man with the scar explained patiently, “The witch doctor clan is divided into levels. Anyone who wears a colorful robe is an ordinary witch doctor. The one in the black robe is the leader of the witch doctor clan. She’s the legendary Great Witch Doctor. Ordinary people are not qualified to see her. There are a total of 19 disciples under the leader. All of them wear gray robes. Their surnames before they became his disciples have been completely erased. They are all called His Highness… This 19th Prince is the youngest disciple of the Great Witch Doctor. She’s also a famous beauty of the witch doctor clan. She’s a woman doted on by the 18 senior brothers and master!”
Gu Qiqi frowned.
Unexpectedly, that delicate Witch Nineteen had a good status in the Witch Doctor Clan!
She did not expect that after the unpleasant room search at the hotel yesterday, the Nineteenth Witch would actually send her wine and fruits today to express her goodwill.
Hmm… As expected, her talent was too dazzling. Did The Nineteenth Witch concede defeat?
Haha!
But the thought lasted only a second.
Gu Qiqi suddenly understood why The Nineteenth Witch treated her differently.
She raised her wrist. On it was the token Beigong Ming Tian had given her.
It’s the jade, isn’t it?
When The Nineteenth Witch saw this token in the hotel room, she immediately left with her men and apologized.
Could it be that The Nineteenth Witch treated her as the true owner of this jade?
