Rebirth Of A Villainess 148 Banquet 34

Guangzi Jiu face remained stone cold as he looked at the anxious face of the G.o.d of Fate.

"Your Highness, I'm not certain if what I told you is everything, but I will keep looking into the life of maiden Li and the sect disciple that is within her!"

Chang Chen wringled his hand as his face became almost chalky white with the fear that had consumed his mind.

"Go now! Find out everything you can about the granddaughter of saintess Su!"

Hearing the commandment of the heavenly emperor, Chang Chen lowered his head once more while on the ground prostrating before the highest power in the nine heavens. As he got to his feet to leave, he was soon stopped by the voice of the heavenly emperor.

"Wait!"

The G.o.d of Fate stopped and turned to hear what other instructions the ruler of the nine heavens had for him.

"Before you leave, call Hai Zhixi, I want to speak with him while you are present!"

"Your highness! You want me to bring Hai Zhixi to Qilin Palace?!!!"

"What is it? Isn't he qualified to be present when discussing such a distressful matter?!"

"But...that could create misunderstanding?! What if he is considered a threat?!"

Hai Zhixi was the G.o.d of War, known to be the official emmissary of the high heavens on special occa.s.sions. Stumping into the lower heavens even if he was a high G.o.d could result in political tension between both realms. The high heavens and lower heavens could be considered one and the same by some, but in reality they had different goverance. Therefore, either realm were circ.u.mspect in their dealings towards each other. In as much as there was three main realms in the universe, but the high heavens was seen as a separate ent.i.ty from the other three, thereby making it the fourth realm. This meant Jin Tieguai's answer was wrong because politically there were four and not three realms!

One would think that the heavenly emperor should not be asking for the G.o.d of War, since this could create mix feelings in those from the both realms.

"Your Highness, I will go and fetch the G.o.d of War!"

Chang Chen picked up his steps as he began walking out of the Qilin palace in haste.

"Hou Yao!"

The royal adviser kept quiet all through the conversation that the heavenly emperor had with the G.o.d of Fate. The High G.o.d stepped from the side of the ruler of the nine heavens and went to stand in front of him. After clasping his hand and bowing with respect before him, Hou Yao then raised his head to face is long time friend.

"What do you think of the things that Chang Chen said? Were my actions uncalled for?!"

Hou Yao stroked his long dark beards which reached all the way to his rounded belly which was covered in his long white robes, his hair held in a jade white hair stick. The somewhat robust high G.o.d's rudy cheeks lifted with the mirth that reflected in his eyes. The two had known each other for years and were able to maintain appropriate distance in the prescence of others and in secret.

"The matter of Saintess Su's granddaughter weighs heavily on your mind, your highness! Asking the G.o.d of War to intervene is both good but if things go awry, his prescence could call for much bloodshed. As the G.o.d of War he wouldn't stand back when he sees anything that goes against his conviction, as such I would ask that you send someone else, rather than Hai Zhixi!"
