1723 You Should Check The Stars (2/2)
The Firmament Stone immediately went stiff. ”It… It was a fate…”
Di Fuyi suddenly grabbed it. ”I want the truth!”
He grabbed it tightly until the Firmament Stone suffocated and screamed. ”Let go! Let go! Watch your action when you talk to an auspicious jade! Otherwise, you will be punished by heaven again!”
Di Fuyi immediately looked at it and caught the key point. ”Punished by heaven again? What do you have to do with heavenly law?”
The Firmament Stone remained silent.
It immediately reversed. ”Don't… Don't know. What's heavenly law?”
Di Fuyi remained silent as he stared at it but his gaze turned cooler now.
The Firmament was panicked. It was worried that he would squash it into dust if he was upset. ”It… It's related to a heavenly secret; I can't tell you!”
Di Fuyi was speechless. He did not expect there was any heavenly secret which he was not aware of.
Di Fuyi refused to let it slide. ”You already knew she was the new Lord when you found her, right?”
The Firmament Stone was speechless.
”Have you disclosed any heavenly secrets to her?”
This time the Firmament Stone was very responsive! ”Of course not! Otherwise, she will be punished! You should know better right, My Lord?”
Di Fuyi closed his eyes to think; he was so used to getting everything he wanted; hence, he did not really care about any heavenly punishment. He has also disclosed heavenly secrets and got punished before, but it had all been settled.
However, the heavenly punishment would not only fall on the one who disclosed the secret but also on the listener. There would be a tragedy that would ensue. Therefore, Di Fuyi would never disclose any heavenly secrets to the people he cared about in order to prevent them from being punished.
The Firmament Stone was worried that Di Fuyi blamed it for causing Gu Xijiu's soul to fade away; it quickly explained. ”I know what to say and what not to say; I've never told her heavenly secret.”
Di Fuyi stopped talking; he closed his eyes as he hugged Gu Xijiu tightly.
The Firmament Stone carefully circled around him again as it looked at his posture. ”My Lord! You shouldn't continue sleeping anymore! The world is a mess now, all the disasters I showed you would happen if you continue to behave this way!”
”What should I do then?” Di Fuyi opened his eyes. ”There are five more months to go; do you think the heavens would assign another new Lord with a level ten of spiritual power again?”
”Uhmmm, perhaps?” The Firmament Stone hesitated to continue. ”I feel, you should check the stars…”
Di Fuyi stared at it for a while. ”Did you sense something again?”
The Firmament Stone immediately ran away! ”I can't disclose!”
…
Di Fuyi came to the backyard again with Gu Xijiu. He was stunned when he looked at the starry night.
There were dark clouds in the sky and he found a strange star in the clouds.
It was a five-colored star; though it looked big, it was quite dim. Apparently, it was surrounded by dark clouds; hence, it could not shine.
That was... A substitute Lord? To his surprise, there was a substitute Lord. It seemed that heaven did not want this continent to be destroyed...
Di Fuyi clenched his fingers as he looked at Gu Xijiu who was in his embrace. The throne of the new Lord belonged to her!
The Firmament Stone was so excited. ”My Lord, look, there's a substitute Lord! You just have to find him or her and pass everything on; then the world would be saved! Therefore, my master would not get a mess when she returns…”
Di Fuyi was shocked! ”What did you just say? Your master returns?!”
'Oh, f*ck!' The Firmament Stone was panicked!
Damnit! It seemed to have disclosed a heavenly secret!
