1760 The Battle Between The Lord And The Stand-In Lord (1/2)

Long Moyan was not a real hermit. He built good relationships with powerful people and was once quite close to Rong Jialuo. He was also a cunning person; however, he was good at hiding his true colors.

”So, you expected me to come to you?” Di Fuyi asked in an icy tone.

Long Moyan did not expect him to ask in such a frank way. He paused for a second before he could continue. ”I was too cowardly. Although I knew about the heavenly secret, I did not have the courage to see you. I have no interest in power. In fact, I didn't know what to do as this happened all of a sudden… Thus, I thought I can catch some fresh air here… I'm really sorry, I didn't know you would look for me…”

He managed to answer flawlessly to the extent no one could find any weaknesses. However, Di Fuyi was standing right in front of him; no one could hide or try to fool him!

Di Fuyi looked at him for a short while and realized that his body language did not look like an apologetic man. Apparently, he was just lying... It was definitely extremely difficult for someone like him to let go of his power once he really took over the throne. Although Di Fuyi did not express anything, he had already made a silent conclusion about Long Moyan.

The Firmament Stone was also observing Long Moyan as it coiled on Di Fuyi's wrist. After all, Long Moyan was the stand-in Lord and he would have many interactions with its master; hence, it must help to inspect him.

Long Moyan was quite handsome, it rated him 90 marks in that aspect. He seemed to have no greed on power based on what he had said earlier. There was mud stain at the end of his robe though. He was a typical hermit! It rated him 90 marks again.

In fact, the Firmament Stone did not see many people before; hence, it thought highly of Long Moyan...

”My Lord, Long Moyan is quite good. I think his spiritual power is already level nine, right? He seems to be a down to earth person. I think you can just bring him along and teach him your Kung Fu…”

The Firmament Stone said all this in Di Fuyi's head.

”Shut up!” That was what Di Fuyi replied it. He then took a look further ahead and saw a small bamboo tavern behind the bamboo grove.
