1867 A Real Dilemma (2/2)

”Who was the friend that you talked about? On whose behalf did you try to ask for help?” Gu Xijiu tried to force the truth out of it.

The Firmament Stone was shocked. Sudden remorse occurred to it. It should not have asked about Huang Tu in heaven. Now, it did not know how to handle her intense interrogation.

Gu Xijiu looked at the Firmament Stone fixedly and asked, ”Little Cang, you do remember about the previous Lord, don't you?”

”I…” Desperately, the Firmament Stone wanted to avoid her question.

It desperately wished to be struck by lightning, so it would not remember anything like her as well. It was not allowed to deceive the Lord, but it was not allowed to mention anything about the heavenly law either. It was indeed in a real dilemma.

It was but a piece of jade. Why did she have to interrogate it so intensely?

”You do remember!” Gu Xijiu exclaimed in reassurance.

The Firmament Stone was obviously guilty. It shrunk into a ball and said nothing more.

Gu Xijiu put it on her palm and questioned it even more, ”Speak. What has been going on between us? You'd better tell the truth.”

The Firmament Stone decided to respond. ”Master, the matter is related to the heavenly law, so I am not allowed to tell you anything more. However, I do have an advice for you. You should look forward to the future, as there is still a long way to go. Why do you have to get yourself entangled with the fragments of your past? Let bygones be bygones!”
