1872 The Master Of The Box (2/2)

”I fail to notice that.”

”My puberty has failed me. I really am a woman. If you choose to believe me…”

”How? How are you going to prove it?”

The content of the conversation was too much for her to process. She could not tell the genders apart, but she knew there were two voices. Surprisingly, she could remember that the beauty in red was, in fact, a man and the tiny, black figure was a woman.

There was a splash, pulling her back to reality, but there was only her, alone in the huge lake. There was not anyone else. Her heart started to throb as sadness filled it.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down. Was the vision an actual event of what they had been through?

This time, the man was dressed entirely in fiery red. It seems like this man was not consistently wearing purple; he would sometimes dress in red, and other times in white. Was the man Huang Tu, the man that was mentioned by the Firmament Stone?

If so, Gu Xijiu knew that he did not go to the Upper Bound after his immortalization. He had vanished entirely. They would not meet again.

She took the box out, tossing and turning it in her hands like her empty heart. Her mission was to find the master of the box. Surely, its master must be someone extraordinary. Who would that be?

High above the world, the moon kindled the lake, shining on the calm surface and the forlorn figure of hers. Gu Xijiu closed her eyes, lost in her own thoughts. She had so many questions without answers.

”The heavenly law!” A voice emerged so suddenly.

Gu Xijiu opened her eyes, obviously in shock. ”What?”

”The master of the box was the embodiment of the heavenly law,” The voice had come as a bit of a shock.
