Chapter 1306: Was This A Coincidence?
Celestial Master Zuo who was meditating moved his fingertips slightly. The mussel feared that Celestial Master Zuo would punish it. He quickly said, "Over these past few days, I have been trying to find a way to correct this mistake. I have been trying very hard to get out of this place, but I didn’t know that this place prevented anyone who entered from exiting... As a result, I have failed to escape from this place regardless of how many times I have tried..."
Di Fuyi finally opened his eyes and looked at the mussel. He said, "Was she drunk? Tell me everything from the beginning!"
It did not dare hide any truth, and so it honestly told Di Fuyi as much as it knew. It started by telling Di Fuyi about how Gu Xijiu had taken them to the Dark Forest. Now, Di Fuyi finally understood how Gu Xijiu and the three of them had mistakenly entered this place.
However, was it a coincidence? The Dark Forest could not be seen during the day. Sometimes it rained, but most of the time there was no thunderstorm. There would usually be a thunderstorm once or twice in a year. However, the mussel had coincidentally encountered it!
If the thunderstorm could scare the mussel, it must have been hazardous. Di Fuyi was afraid that it was no ordinary thunder, but rather a unique and powerful one! It was the kind that could be attached to the mussel’s shell and be carried by it underground.
Coincidentally, it was the time when the core was relatively the weakest. It allowed the thunder, which was carried by the mussel, to hit the core from underground nearby the banana-milk tree. The thunder must have broken the core’s enchantment, and so the mussel was able to enter the core.
Due to the unique thunder, the mussel burrowed underground and got lost. Couple that with the moment when the core was at its weakest condition... All these key factors happened at the same time. Di Fuyi thought that this was not a coincidence but rather fate.
The mussel observed Di Fuyi as he stood in silence as though he was deep in thought. He did not know what his master had in mind, and so he asked, "Celestial Master Zuo, am I right to say that you had purposely come all the way here to meet Gu Xijiu? It’s a bitter experience to get this sort of injuries! Does Gu Xijiu know about it? She will surely feel bad if she sees you this way."
The mussel continued talking endlessly. Finally, Di Fuyi closed his eyes and said, "Talk less and keep moving!"
