1339 The Truth 4 (2/2)

Gu Xijiu took a deep breath and looked into his eyes. ”If this is how you put it, I believe you!”

Di Fuyi laughed. ”No, I know that you don't truly believe me. If I don't explain it to you properly, there will be a burden in your heart forever. I don't want you to misunderstand me all the time. Let me briefly explain our situation to you.”

He seemed like he was structuring his thoughts. After a while, he asked, ”Xijiu, how do you think I got to become The Lord?”

Gu Xijiu was shocked. ”By nature? You are a God, aren't you?”

Di Fuyi lazily smiled. ”No one is born a God… In other words, even if I possessed the characteristics of a God and am destined to dominate the world ever since I was young, I would have to go through all sorts of hardship to gain experience…”

Gu Xijiu nodded. ”I understand. The Heaven's train a person to be tough by assigning them with challenging tasks. Therefore, it is inevitable to face all kinds of different catastrophes. Why are you mentioning this now?”

Di Fuyi played with his teacup using his finger. He said, ”What I am trying to tell you is that I had been growing from the time when I was weak as a teenager just like what you have been through. There was a time when I was not as capable as others and was constantly bullied.”

Gu Xijiu remained silent. She thought that he was naturally born to be The Lord. She never expected that he had to work so hard to grow stronger and gain more experience. She decided not to interrupt him and allowed Di Fuyi to continue talking.

She discovered that the relationship between Di Fuyi and Lan Jingke was not that complicated after all. Five thousand years ago, Di Fuyi was still a young man. There was one time where his enemy attacked him, and he fell into the sea. Lan Jingke was the one who had saved him.

During that time, Lan Jingke was still suffering from the death of her father and the mermaid family was undergoing an internal war to seize the throne.
