2798 What If I Died? (2/2)
Panicked, Fan Qianshi fell to his knees and said nothing more.
Gu Xijiu was troubled. The creator of the universe would be the one controlling all six worlds. It was forbidden for that person to have any personal entanglements, but one needed to have mercy and compassion so that life could flourish.
If the creator of the universe were a man of selfishness, cruelty, and bigotry, all six worlds would be inescapably doomed. All of a sudden, she felt that years of her patience and guidance had gone to waste.
The more she looked at him, the more she became speechless with rage. It was only a question that she simply asked through directed audios to test him, but the result was obviously unexpected. Nonetheless, it was not time for her to teach him a lesson.
Gu Xijiu stared helplessly at him for a while before leaving in silence.
Fan Qianshi waited to be reprimanded but did not hear a word from Gu Xijiu. He looked up and was surprised by her absence.
Troubled, he stood right up and was ready to leave, but the waiter stopped him. ”Mister, the bill will be a hundred pieces of spiritual pearls.”
Fan Qianshi tossed him a bag of three hundred spiritual pearls. ”Take it.” He then left swiftly.
Dismembering a prisoner was a punishment that was deemed brutal, but that did not stop the curious public from flooding in to watch.
The execution ground was set to be at Lanyue City's biggest square. There was a scaffold, built with a pillar in the center. Chains of red metal secured the wire fence.
Needless to say, the scaffold was where the dismemberment would be carried out. It was still early, and yet the place was already crowded.
Gu Xijiu took a turn around the square. She could tell that the place was already installed with many secret doors. Through teleportation, she went a door and realized that there were troops ready at every corner. Every soldier was equipped with a sword as well as a bow and arrows.
”What do you think? Is it necessary for the Monster King to send out so many troops to dismember a disciple who is found to be guilty of killing her master? Does he really need 30,000 soldiers to be gathered here?”
”That is right. It is unnecessary. There is no way she can run away. Besides, who will be here to save her?”
