2730 I Trust You 3 (1/2)
In order to make Di Fuyi surrender his power, perhaps there was a lot more that needed to be done. It surely was not as simple as creating a trap for him to fall in love.
Gu Xijiu could not help but look at Di Fuyi confusedly. Her heart was filled with a myriad of feelings. The man was the master of heavenly law. No one would have known that the man would eventually fall for someone like her. Yet, he loved her so much that he was willing to compromise on so many of his principles.
”Why are you looking at me like that?” Di Fuyi noticed her odd gaze. He gently tapped on her head and asked, ”Are you so obsessed with me?” He looked at her pridefully, for he was proud of his qualities as her perfect partner.
Gu Xijiu made a sibilant sound as a sign of disapproval. ”Don't you feel embarrassed? You are feeling way too good about yourself.”
Di Fuyi laughed out loud and replied, ”I truly am a good man. Why should I underestimate my own qualities?”
”You said that you might have a more powerful identity. With power comes responsibility. What if you are not allowed to fall in love with anyone at all?” Gu Xijiu asked casually.
”I do not care a thing about fame or status,” Di Fuyi answered casually. ”If there really is a conflict between power and love, I will give up the power. No matter what happens, I will never let you go.”
”It is hard to say. In the video that Fan Qianshi played for me, you were portrayed as a despicable man. You chose to kill me in order to secure your power.” She uttered and then stopped talking, all of a sudden. She realized that she might have spilled a heavenly secret, so she waited for a while to see if there was any catastrophic punishment, but there was none.
Di Fuyi seemed interested. ”What video did he play for you? Was it about us?”
”It was about all three of us, but I can tell that the scenes were mostly made up. There were too many loopholes that did not make any sense. I do not believe in any of those theories.”
Di Fuyi paused for a moment to think. ”May I have a look at the video?”
”The video was played by using a piece of secret equipment onboard the spaceship. I only remember the content, so there is no way I can play it again for you. I can tell you more about it if you want.”
Di Fuyi shook his head in disapproval. ”The video could be important. You might have missed out on some points.” He gazed at her in contemplation. ”If you do not mind, may I read your mind to look into your memory about the video?”
”Ah? Do you know how to read one's mind?”
”Yes.”
”All right, go ahead then.” Gu Xijiu agreed without hesitation.
