Chapter 161: What An Exaggerated Lie!
The Emperor was stunned and looked at Gu Xijiu, "Xijiu, how did you get this talent? Tell me."
The Emperor looked confused, and everyone had the same feeling too! Gu Xijiu noticed their response and quickly asked the Firmament Stone for help.
The Firmament Stone answered, "There are people who gained certain talents from the gods. For example, Celestial Master Zuo and You, as well as the overlords of the three clans obtained their respective talents from the gods and established their factions. If you encounter a similar situation, that means that you were sent by the gods and would be able to rank as high as the celestial masters! Since you aren’t, your lie was exaggerated!"
Gu Xijiu was having a headache and asked, "Then, how did these people get their talent?"
The Firmament Stone replied depressingly, "That’s a secret! No one knows, not even me."
Even the Firmament Stone did not know, not to mention those people at the scene.
Gu Xijiu remained silent, and the Emperor assumed she was hesitating to tell and said, "Xijiu, it’s alright. It’s a good thing to be blessed with talent from the gods; you’ll not be facing any disaster."
Gu Xijiu looked at him and replied, "Your Majesty, this is a highly confidential matter. I can only tell you that I got it in my dream and I also promised the person in the dream that I’d never tell anyone else."
