Chapter 356 - Blame Your Previous Actions (1/2)
Qiu Ling paced up and down in front of the folding screen, his brows furrowed. He didn't know that much about the Nine Heavens. The only place he had explored in detail was Jing He's palace. So where was he supposed to find ascended deities? It wasn't like they were carrying signs around to identify themselves.
Qiu Ling stopped and slightly raised his brows. He needed help. He needed someone who knew his way around the Nine Heavens and could find an ascended deity for him. Unfortunately, his in-laws weren't on his side this time. Who else could help him?
Jing He's uncle? But he certainly wouldn't help if his sister was against this.
Qiu Ling frowned again. He didn't really know anyone else besides these three people. Hadn't he seen any other god until now? He tilted his head. Most of his time in the Nine Heaven's had been spent with Jing He at Jing He's palace. The only times he wasn't there were official festivities.
Oh. Qiu Ling straightened up. Right! There had been that one other time, too …
He hurriedly left Jing He's palace and grabbed one of the Heavenly Guards patrolling the streets. ”You! Tell me where the God of Fate is.”
”The …” The guard frowned and took a closer look at the person in front of him. ”Longjun?”
”Mn. So where is he?”
”Who?”
”The God of Fate. Uh …” Qiu Ling frowned back when the guard still looked at him as if he had no idea what he was talking about. ”The … god that writes down the fates of the mortals?”
”The Fate's Scribe?”
”Yes! That one! So, where is he?”
”In the Scribe's palace, I guess?”
”Bring me there!”
The guard looked around. ”I'm on duty.”
”That's great. So bring me over to that Scribe's palace.”
”But …”
”Great, thank you so much!” Qiu Ling grabbed his arm and pulled him down the road.
”That's not the right direction!”
”Alright, then let's go in the other one.” Qiu Ling pulled him back into the other direction until the guard finally sighed and led him to the palace.
”Here. I have to go back now though.”
”Mn, no problem. Thanks again!” Qiu Ling didn't even look back and stormed right in, grabbing one of the scribes on his way. ”You! Tell me where the Fate's Scribe is!”
”Ah? He … He's probably in his study.”
”Great! Bring me there!”
