Di Fuyi looked at her and slowly asked, "In fact, I am a little bit curious. Two of you have been accompanying each other for so many years. It"s not strange for him to have fallen for you. Also, I can tell that you do care about him too. No rule forbids one to have a relations.h.i.+p with their apprentice. So why are you making things so difficult?"Gu Xijiu frowned and answered impatiently, "I only see myself as his master; I do not feel anything else for him that a man and a woman in love would normally feel."
"What about me?" Di Fuyi suddenly asked.
"You…" Gu Xijiu furrowed her brows even more. "Is this wedding not an agreement between you and me?"
Di Fuyi"s eyes were slightly darkened, but he refused to let the matter go. "I asked you about your feelings toward me. Is it even worse than what you feel for Fan Qians.h.i.+?"
Gu Xijiu was stunned. "You are not comparable to him..."
Di Fuyi"s body went stiff almost instantly. "So it turns out that in your heart, I am not even better than him…"
Gu Xijiu was speechless. Having one Fan Qians.h.i.+ in her life had already been such a big headache to her, and now Di Fuyi was at it again. It made Gu Xijiu even more frustrated. She blurted out without thinking too deeply, "Why are you asking so many questions? It is just an agreement! Why are you asking me so many things? Di Fuyi, are you really falling in love with me?"
Di Fuyi remained silent. In fact, he was silent for a moment, before he suddenly sat up straight and faintly replied, "Alright. I won"t ask you any more questions, Ah Jiu. Since this wedding is what you want, you don"t have to think about the other consequences. I only hope that you and I can go through with the wedding and finish the show. After all, I have sacrificed so much for this wedding…"
He smiled and then added a sentence, "Do not forget, I am also your disciple."
Gu Xijiu was speechless. "You do not recognize me as your master anyway..." Nevertheless, she still rea.s.sured him, "Do not worry, the wedding will be completed."
Di Fuyi held out his hand to her and said, "Come on, let"s make an oath. No matter what happens in the middle, you will not abort the wedding."
Gu Xijiu felt that he was rather foolish. "We don"t need this, right?"
Di Fuyi looked at her with a smile, but he did not say anything nor not take back his palm. Seeing that he was not about to back away, Gu Xijiu agreed to take the oath.
Di Fuyi remarked in a serious manner, "If you stop this wedding, I will never forgive you, and I will never have any connection with you in this life."
Gu Xijiu thought that he was overreacting. But since she was not in the mood to make things worse, she grabbed his hand and agreed. Besides, she committed to marrying him, so she could not imagine why she would back out. Even if she did not get the blessings from the heavens and got struck by a thunderbolt, she would want to see this wedding through.
...
It turned out that G.o.d did not seem to quite agree with their deal.
Gu Xijiu brought the groom back to her place, and the wedding was carried out in an orderly manner. When the hall was full of guests, and they were going to take their vows, Wu Qianyan suddenly rushed in and kneeled in front of Gu Xijiu, "Divine Lord, help! Young master… He has broken into G.o.d"s Forbidden Land!"
Gu Xijiu"s facial expression changed in an instant, and the red silk in her hand fell to the ground. "What?!"
While everyone was still confused about what had happened, Gu Xijiu only uttered a few words, "I am sorry!"
Without delay, she teleported away and disappeared.
Just like that, Di Fuyi, who still held the red silk is his hand, was left with a house of guests.
Everyone looked at each other and asked, "Where is the Forbidden Land?"
"I don"t know; It is the first time I am hearing of it."
"Don"t look at me. I don"t know."
The last person who spoke was famous for having insider information around the six realms.
