Di Fuyi was asking the Firmament Stone for the approximate time that Gu Xijiu would be reborn. The Firmament Stone told him it would be in another 60 years after making a prediction based on its experience. 60 years was once a very short period to Di Fuyi; however, it was now a time period he would not be alive to experience. They would not be able to see each other again.
He looked at the girl in his embrace and realized that he would never ever get to see her standing in front of him alive and talk to him with laughter. His fingers were gently touching her lashes. Softly, he whispered, “Xijiu, forget about me when you come back… and live a good life after that.”
Gu Xijiu was shocked! She was furious when she heard the first part of his sentence. He always wanted to be forgotten! Who or what did he think she was? A computer hard disk? Did he think she could just simply delete all the data in her head whenever she wanted?!
However, fear crept into her heart when she heard the last few words. He sounded like he was speaking to her for the last time. Or was she overthinking?
She quickly took a glimpse at him again. He did not wear a mask today and it was probably because he was invisible. Gu Xijiu noticed his face looked very pale even though his white hair was now black again. Besides that, there were two dark circles under his eyes and his lips were pale as well.
Gu Xijiu wanted to check his pulse but she realized that she probably would not be able to touch him. Was he too exhausted? It was rare to see him in such a pale appearance.
While she was still idling, a sudden noise was heard. It was the voice of a lady. “Oh, what kind of temple is this? Celestial Master Gu’s Temple? Which Celestial Master Gu?”
Certainly, Gu Xijiu was very familiar with this voice; that was Lan Jingyi! She did not expect her to come. There were many prayers outside the temple and also a few young taoist guarding the temple. The young taoist answered, “This is National Celestial Master, Miss Gu.”
Lan Jingyi chuckled sarcastically. “Gu Xijiu?! Are you sure?! She is still alive; so why did you build a temple for her?”
The young taoist was slightly pissed. “I hope you watch your words! I know Celestial Master Gu is still alive; this is her credit temple!”
Lan Jingyi shouted with a high pitch, “Credit temple!? What honor does she have to own a credit temple?! This is absurd! Let me take a closer look!”
“Hey! Jingyi, don’t be reckless…” Lan Yaoguang just arrived; however, he did not manage to supervise his sister properly.
“Shuaaa!” A blue shadow flashed and Lan Jingyi appeared in the inner hall. She seemed to have recovered because she looked completely fine except for her pale face. Gu Xijiu took a glimpse at Di Fuyi; he has straightened his body but had a frown on his face. He looked upset.
Lan Jingyi was so angry as she fixed her eyes on the deity statue!
“Gu Xijiu is definitely too arrogant! My Brother Huang is such a mighty man and he doesn’t even have one! Who does she think she is? The Lord of the world?! She is not even worth a speck of dust in my eyes! I just can’t look at her arrogant face!”
She lifted her sleeve and a blue beam was emitted toward the statue! She was going to destroy the statue! She was known for acting recklessly. It was too sudden and the young Taoist did not have time to stop her. Even if he was prepared, there was nothing he could possibly do since Lan Jingyi was much more powerful.
Lan Yaoguang just rushed in and did not manage to stop her either; he shouted, “No!”
