Chapter 2083: For She Regarded It As A Friend
The same questions lingered on everyone’s mind. Gu Xijiu was even more confused than anybody else. Astonished by the numbers, she clearly remembered that her age was only a little over 200 years. Something was wrong with the numbers that declared her to be 11,000 years old.
Fueled by their anger, the women shot out a stream of abusive remarks at her. Some accused her of taking advantage of her powerful Kung Fu, saying that she had cast some spell on the mirror to hide her real age.
Some said that she could actually be more than 11,000 years old and that she chose to disregard the courtesy of how people her age should behave, all because she wanted to fit in with the young and youthful.
The most vicious remark came from Fairy Yingxue. "As a senior at the age of 11,000, you are not considered that old. Why did you try so hard to conceal your age? Oh, I know why. There are rumors about you, saying that you actually fancy the young prince. Did you try so hard to conceal your age, all because you were worried that he would mind the age gap? Is that why you try to pass yourself off, by changing your age to 200 years?"
"Nonsense! Nonsense!" A voice of a child emerged from the sleeves of Gu Xijiu.
Soon, the mussel made its entrance into the hall. A child could be seen standing between shells. His tiny face was entirely flushed with indignation. "My master is only 232 years old! Millions of lives from the mortal world can be her proof. 11,000 years old? There must be something wrong with the mirror, and perhaps even with you. You must be at least 4,000 years old by now. Are you dumb enough to trust the mirror, old woman?"
The celestial beings were in utter surprise. The celestial beings of the Saha World were all civilized with good manners. None of them had ever spoken as directly and rudely as the mussel just did.
Fairy Yingxue was embarrassed by the mussel’s offensively and impolite remark but was too reluctant to argue with a mere mussel. Scornfully, she answered, "The Fairy Floral Feast is a sacred event. Why did you smuggle your majestic being here?"
