1798 The Wedding 7 (1/2)
Gu Xijiu was the one who had instructed Gu Canmo to act in that manner. She wanted to have the questions during the ceremony to profess her undivided love to Di Fuyi in front of everyone. Agreeing to all the conditions in the vow was equal to swearing an oath to heaven and earth. No one was allowed to go against his or her words once the oath was made.
Gu Canmo also realized that it was not exactly a propitious thing to say. However, The Lord was, after all, immortal. What he said would not do any harm to The Lord at all, so he did exactly what Gu Xijiu told him to.
Di Fuyi's expression changed when he heard the vows. He looked at Gu Xijiu and communicated with her through directed audio. ”Xijiu!”
Once she agreed to the vows, the oath would be immediately established. After he was gone, she would have to live alone for tens of thousands of years until death came upon her. He would not allow her to commit herself into something so foolish.
Di Fuyi was worried that she would answer to the vows. Quickly, he made a snap that aimed to seal her acupuncture point, so she would not be able to speak.
What he did not know was that Gu Xijiu now had another argument with an unknown voice in her head. It was the same voice that started disturbing her when she was still trapped in the clouds. It grumbled in an indistinct voice from time to time, so she could not quite tell the gender of the voice.
Gu Xijiu thought she would never come across the voice again, but it reappeared when Gu Canmo started to read the vows. ”No way! You cannot agree to take the oath! He is not the destined one!” The voice warned her.
Gu Xijiu sneered and answered in an icy tone, ”If not him, then who? Long Moyan?”
”Long Moyan has violated the Heavenly Order. He deserved to be deposed and punished. The destiny between you and Huang Tu has come to an end. The ways of heaven have arranged another marriage for you. Two hundred years later, both of you will meet again and fall happily in love. If you promise Huang Tu to be his wife, you will be considered as violating the heavenly laws. You are burning bridges you if you do that,” the voice explained hastily.
”Why must heaven arrange a marriage on my behalf?” Gu Xijiu did not understand the intention behind every arrangement, nor did she bother even to find out. She found these arranged marriages irritating.
”You are the future Lord. You will have a very long lifespan. Without a happy marriage, you will easily go to extremes in everything.”
