Qi Jing chased after him and asked, "Am I such a fool? I tell everything, and even if I do, it's nothing. Why do you need to cover me up?"
Gu Zhou turned on the faucet and looked at him, "Why don't you think about how you complained about me to the Second Master before?"
Qi Jing was speechless. Thinking of the stupid things he had done before, he felt a little embarrassed. He twisted his fingers nervously as if he had done something wrong.
Gu Zhou washed and dried his hands and walked back. He held Qi Jing's face with both hands and said helplessly, "Look at you, you have lived for so many years with innocence, but why are you still so naive?"
Qi Jing frowned, "Are you scolding me?"
"I didn't. I'm telling the truth. Look, even if you sealed your soul, you lived for three hundred years before you met me, and you didn't know anything about it. Isn't that pure?"
"You can't blame me for that. I wouldn't go to the human world to watch other people have sex. Even watching the plot in the heavens with Tiandao is just a bunch of mosaics, so thick that you can't see anything."
Gu Zhou was also surprised, "Mosaic?"
Qi Jing nodded, "The plot is transmitted to the consciousness at once, and watching it in real time in the ball controlled by Tiandao is just a bunch of mosaics."
Gu Zhou was puzzled, "Why is it a bunch of mosaics?"
Qi Jing shook his head. How would he know? He only knew that he could not see anything and could not hear any sound. Both he and Tiandao were like this.
Gu Zhou didn't care anymore and pinched his face, "Okay, let's go eat."
The two went downstairs again. The others had already finished their meal and went about their own business. Only Tiandao came downstairs a little later, followed by Qi Shuo who had changed his clothes.
None of the four spoke. Tiandao sat on the sofa eating snacks, while Qi Shuo was processing emails on his tablet. After they finished their meal, Qi Shuo stood up and called Gu Zhou away to talk to him alone.
In the study, Qi Shuo asked Gu Zhou to put on the talisman paper before speaking, "There may be other hidden reasons why my uncle was injured ten thousand years ago."
"What's the meaning?"
Qi Shuo relayed his conversation with Tian Dao, saying, "If it's really as Tian Dao said, then my uncle's strength would have long surpassed both the small world and the real world back then. Even if the real world interfered, my uncle wouldn't have lost, let alone lost so miserably."
Gu Zhou was silent. He had also felt strange when he heard Qi Jing talk about the past. Since Qi Jing could freely travel between the small world and the real world, how could Qi Jing's strength be calculated by those people and become so embarrassed.
But that incident left a huge shadow on Qi Jing. He didn't dare to ask at all, for fear that Qi Jing would be like last time, feeling painful just thinking about it and choosing to forget it again.
Qi Shuo also understood Gu Zhou's concerns, "I just find it strange. You don't need to ask. I'll see if I can find out from the Heavenly Dao."
"Try it, and forget it if you can't get any."
Qi Shuo hummed and said nothing else.
In the living room, Tiandao asked about Qi Shuo's future. Tiandao was very confused, "Why can't I see Qi Shuo's future? Not even a little bit?"
Qi Jing paused while drinking his milk tea and looked at Tian Dao with suspicion, "Why are you looking at him for no reason?"
"He asked me himself. I tried it, and I can do it with the others, but not Qi Shuo. Why? Did you give him some treasure?"
"No, you're overthinking it." Qi Jing avoided looking away. He didn't want to say anything because Tiandao would get angry.
Tiandao frowned, "Then why can't I see it? This is my first time in the human world, and I don't understand these situations. You have been in the human world for so long, you must know."
"Everyone has their own destiny. Qi Xiaoshuo has inherited my destiny, so living to over a hundred years old shouldn't be a problem."
"Does that mean he'll die in a hundred years?"
"What else? Make him immortal?" Qi Jing didn't have that idea. Even if he was a god, he couldn't change people's fate casually. Besides, there were so many people in the Qi family. He couldn't just favor Qi Shuo, right?
Tiandao frowned, "A hundred years is so short, it's gone in the blink of an eye."
"Not only that, Qi Xiaoshuo is 28 years old this year. In another ten years or so, he will start to age, get wrinkles, and his hair will turn white."
Tian Dao was not calm anymore, "Wouldn't that be very ugly, just like that little old man."
Qi Jing looked over and asked, "Could the old man you are talking about be the Second Master?"
Tiandao nodded, there was only one old man like this in the Qi family.
Qi Jing released the straw he was biting, "When Qi Xiaoshuo is eighty or ninety years old, he will be almost like Second Master now."
Tian Dao calculated, "Then there are only fifty years left."
"Well, what's wrong?"
The Heavenly Dao was sullen and didn't want to talk. Fifty years was a long time for humans, but it seemed very short and insignificant to God.
Tiandao felt a little uncomfortable, "Then wait until I return to heaven and come down again. He might be dead."
"Not necessarily. The time in heaven and on earth is the same now. You don't have to go back."
Tiandao frowned and asked Qi Jing seriously, "Then do you want to wait for him to die?"
"Gu Zhou won't. He has cultivation and two thousand-year-old inner pills. After absorbing them, he will live for a long time."
"Why doesn't he have to die?" Tiandao felt a little resentful and felt it was unfair.
Qi Jing spread his hands. "Gu Zhou has Gu Xuanyi's cultivation and merits. If you hadn't closed the connection between heaven and earth, Gu Xuanyi would have been able to ascend. And whether it was Gu Xuanyi or Gu Zhou, they made it here on their own. This was their opportunity. I didn't give him the divine power."
Tiandao nodded thoughtfully, "Then if I give him my divine power, he won't have to die, and can remain my believer forever?"
"Let's not do that. You created the law yourself, and you will suffer multiple backlashes. Aren't you most afraid of pain?"
Tiandao was silent again. He didn't want Qi Shuo to die.
Apart from Qi Jing, Qi Shuo was the first person he was close to, and he was the Way of Heaven, so unlike other gods he did not have his own believers.
Even when this world still had spiritual energy and people believed in gods, he did not have a temple of his own.
He has always been lonely, and he wants someone to always be with him, just like Qi Jing has Gu Zhou.
The two of them did not hide their conversation from others. Qi Shuo, who was about to go downstairs, heard it and looked at Tiandao with some complicated feelings.
Gu Zhou, who was following behind Qi Shuo, also heard it. He patted Qi Shuo on the shoulder and said silently, "You have a heavy responsibility."
Qi Shuo ignored Gu Zhou. He was just an ordinary person. He didn't want immortality. He felt that a hundred years was too long.
Qi Shuo turned around and went back upstairs, instinctively choosing to avoid the question. He didn't want to see what expression Tiandao would have or what kind of answer he would give.
After the audience left, Qi Jing didn't ask any more questions. He leaned closer to Tian Dao and asked, "Do you want to choose a name?"
"Why?" Tiandao looked puzzled. He was Tiandao, so what other name did he need?
Qi Jing said seriously, "Heaven's Way is not your name, it's just your responsibility. You never had a name of your own."
