1591 Would Not Be Treated As A Laughingstock (2/2)

Di Fuyi sat in the observatory. This time he did not gaze at the stars, but at the large crystal ball on the table in the hall. The crystal ball seemed to be crowned with a halo that showed a phantasmagoria of images; it showed the photos of a pharmacy, of Gu Xijiu and Luo Zhanyu…

His countenance was so pale that his skin was almost translucent. He sat there unmoving like a statue with his stare never leaving the crystal ball for a second.

The crystal ball only displayed images and had no audio output. But he was still able to discern what they were saying through the movement of their lips.

Gu Xijiu's vehement monologic outburst near the end made his lips curve into a smile. However, his smile soon faded away. He gently touched the crystal ball with his fingers as though he were caressing the head of a lover. ”Xijiu, I'm sorry…”

When he got up, darkness flashed before his eyes and lingered momentarily before disappearing with the image projected by the crystal ball that was fueled by spiritual power.

He stood in his spot for a while. It was only after the vertigo subsided that he walked out.

Mu Feng came to him. ”Master...”

He looked anxiously at his master. Ever since he emerged from the bottom of the seas, a sickly pallor hung over his face as though he was afflicted with a serious injury.

After he returned, he did not rest and only gave Mu Feng a few instructions before going straight into the observatory; it was only until now that he came out.

Two days had already passed. Not only did The Lord's face not regain any color, but it seemed to turn paler instead.

”Master, would you like to rest?” Mu Feng could not restrain himself from asking.

Di Fuyi shook his head. ”There would be no need. I have a great understanding of my current situation, and there would be no need for me to rest. Come to think of it, are there any stirrings within the Blue Fox clan?”

Mu Feng replied, ”The leader of the Blue Fox clan, Lan Yue, brought Lan Waihu back to the tribe and is making the necessary preparations for marriage. Their whole clan is making preparations.”

Di Fuyi nodded his head and asked Mu Feng about a few more matters.
