1859 Do You Want The Truth Or The Bureaucratic Jargon? (2/2)
Yun Yanli examined the drawing carefully, but could not recall anything about it. ”The man's illustration is too unclear. I can barely see his face. Also, I have never seen this box. However, I can help you to search for it.” He kept the drawing.
A sudden idea occurred to him. ”As far as I know, there will be a Celestial Fruit Party the day after tomorrow, at the eighth heaven. It is also a gathering for celestial beings. I believe many Mighty Immortals will be present. However, you are not entitled to any celestial status, so you will not be able to take part. If you do not mind, you can disguise yourself as my servant and attend the event with me. I know the idea may sound like an insult to you, but...”
Gu Xijiu's eyes shone with hope. ”It does not matter. I will disguise myself as your servant and check out the event.”
Yun Yanli was immediately delighted and said, ”All right! Don't worry; I will not assign you with any lousy jobs even with your disguise.”
Gu Xijiu appreciated the prince's offer. With his help, many things were made easier. She quickly expressed her gratitude. ”We have only just met. Why are you so keen to help?” She could not hold back her curiosity.
Yun Yanli smiled. ”Do you want the truth or the bureaucratic jargon?”
”The truth, certainly. I have no interest in your sweet words.”
”Honestly, your lone and nontraditional entity had me worried that you might be a spy from the Devil and Monster Kingdoms. I even sent my men to follow your tracks. Now that the evidence has proven that you are innocent, I evince great guilt for what I have done, so I would like to make it up to you. I will help whenever I can. Speaking of which, I would like to ask for a favor. I will be grateful if you can help.”
Gu Xijiu hesitated no more. ”What can I help with?”
”Recently, some glorified golden rays were seen, shining through occasionally from the fifth layer of heaven. I assume that a mighty weapon may be coming to life soon. Would you come with me to retrieve the weapon?”
