2839 A Dramatic Reencounter 8 (1/2)

Wu Qianyan did not find Di Fuyi appealing as well. She had no scruples about her feelings toward him and casually added, ”As the National Master of the Celestial Kingdom, why didn't you come with the Emperor Immortal? Isn't it inappropriate to come later than the Emperor Immortal himself?”

Usually, the emperor or the king's men would either arrive first or together with their leader, but never later. In fact, Di Fuyi's delay was quite disrespectful to the Emperor Immortal.

Wu Qianyan had a point, but Di Fuyi was not concerned about it. Instead, he took a glance at the Emperor Immortal to see if he had anything to add.

The Emperor Immortal knew that he had to say something to dissolve the awkwardness. ”He… He quit his position as the National Master almost six months ago. He is not one of us now.”

This announcement came as a shocking revelation to the crowd who were unaware of this change in status. All of them wanted him to stand by their respective kingdoms as a talent like Di Fuyi was hard to come by.

Tushan Ying was the first to voice her interest. All of a sudden, her back pain was no longer an issue. She cordially invited him to come by the Monster Kingdom, as the position as the Celestial Officer had always been his for the taking.

Others from the Underworld, the Devil Kingdom, and the Mortal World chimed in eagerly. In order to persuade him, all of them started sharing about the good sides of where they came from. It then became a rather heated debate.

Fan Qianshi was quite annoyed. Was Tian Mowen here to ruin the party? It was supposed to be a birthday celebration for the god of creation, but the center of attention had been shifted to the newcomer instead.

He took a look at Gu Xijiu, who was still in her high chair. ”Master, should we send the troublesome man away?” He directed an audio to her.

With her chin rested on one hand, Gu Xijiu casually answered, ”Not necessary. He is considered as our guest.”

Eventually, Di Fuyi had to cease the violent exchange of diverging views with a clap. ”Everyone, I am here to wish the Divine Lord happy birthday. If you'd like to keep arguing, please do it outside.”
