There was a water source, dry food, and even a small farm at Long Moyan"s place. Gu Xijiu would not starve even if she was stuck in there for months. Soon, Di Fuyi would pa.s.s on. By that time, nothing could change. After all, they were a predestined couple."Xijiu, we are supposed to be a couple. I"ve already missed the opportunity once; I"ll not repeat the same mistake again!"
In fact, he was not worried about Gu Xijiu breaking the wizardry barrier. Apparently, Long Moyan was an expert in setting up barriers. The wizardry barrier set by him was unbreakable in this world. In fact, there were only a few immortals who could do so. In fact, Long Moyan even trapped an immortal in a wizardry barrier for a year.
Breaking this barrier requires a special skill along with sufficient spiritual power. Unfortunately, Long Moyan had added a poison into Gu Xijiu"s drink which would restrict her spiritual power. Hence, there was no escape for her.
Long Moyan stood and observed the barrier for some time. However, he did not notice anything unusual. Hence, Gu Xijiu was probably still figuring out a way to escape. Finally, he was relieved. He was wondering whether he should find Huang Tu... Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something. His body immediately stiffened when he turned his head around!
A man in a white robe was floating on top of the tree behind him. His robe was fluttering in the air and his hair looked like a black waterfall. There was a silver mask covering his face that only exposed his charming eyes. At the moment, the white-clothed man was judging Long Moyan as he fixed his eyes on him.
That was The Lord. Gos.h.!.+ Huang Tu!
"Cao Cao"[1] arrived as soon as he was mentioned! Long Moyan almost suffocated. He knew Huang Tu was extremely powerful but he did not expect his mightiness to be way beyond his imagination. He did not even realize when The Lord had arrived! He quickly bent to greet him. "My Lord!"
Di Fuyi remained silent as he glimpsed at Long Moyan. He has always been unpredictable because he hardly expressed his emotion. Long Moyan was motionless as he did not know what to do.
A moment later, Di Fuyi finally asked, "Since you know who I am, why did you not kneel to greet me?"
In this world, everyone needed to kneel to greet The Lord whenever they saw him, including the emperors. They would only be excused upon his order.
Since Long Moyan knew that he was the stand-in Lord, he did not feel like kneeling in front of Di Fuyi because he thought they were almost at the same level... He cleared his throat and glimpsed at Di Fuyi courageously. Calmly, he said, "My Lord, I"m appointed by the heavenly order to be the stand-in Lord; hence, I feel the courtesy is unnecessary."
Di Fuyi narrowed his eyes. It seemed that Long Moyan already knew his position. Since he knew that he was the stand-in Lord, he would probably know that Di Fuyi was dying soon. Thus, he should have paid Di Fuyi a visit earlier instead of living a leisurely life here...
Was he hiding something? Di Fuyi had received some information about him and he knew that Long Moyan had been staying here for almost a month. He was planting some crops every day and enjoy the hermit life.
