Chapter 395 - An Ancient Fate (1/2)

Seeing the Fate's Scribe in front of him the Heavenly Emperor's expression darkened. ”What? Don't tell us you have some more bad news? How long has it been since the last time?”

”Uh …” Shun Tao cleared his throat and motioned to the side where the two dragons waited.

The Heavenly Emperor looked up and raised his brows. Weren't this … his self-proclaimed son-in-law and Senior Xin? What were they doing here? And why hadn't they been announced? Or had they?

He furrowed his brow and pondered but really couldn't remember. Ah, it was no wonder! The bad news about his son's situation that the Fate's Scribe had brought earlier were still occupying his mind. Naturally, he wouldn't have the mind to care about other things.

Well, now he had to pretend to care for a while. That damnable dandy might still be alright to ignore but he definitely couldn't ignore the man beside him.

”Longjun, Senior Xin, what might bring you here?”

Qiu Ling looked away as if all this had nothing to do while Xin Lan stepped forward and cupped his fists.

”Excuse us for disturbing you, Tianjun. Something has come up that needs the gods' help. I took the liberty to directly ask for the Fate's Scribe's help since His Majesty mentioned that Tianjun is rather busy at the moment. Unfortunately, this case seems to be even trickier than I thought. Thus, we had no other possibility than to still come and disturb you.”

The Heavenly Emperor pushed the thought of Jing He aside for the moment. This seemed like it was indeed important. ”That isn't a problem. Please tell us what all this is about. We will help you if we are able to do so.”

Xin Lan nodded and presented the exact same lies to the Heavenly Emperor that he had fed the Fate's Scribe. Qiu Ling quietly listened and marveled at Xin Lan's acting abilities.

This guy was really talented! Just take a look at his father-in-law's face that grew darker by the second! He looked ready to call his brother-in-law over and send the army over to the demon realm in retaliation!

”I can't believe it! This Jian Heng! What a bastard!”

”Mn.” Xin Lan actually murmured his assent.

The Heavenly Emperor turned to Shun Tao. ”So what are you waiting for? Why didn't you tell them immediately? Such an important thing and you're actually wasting Senior Xin's time!”

Shun Tao lowered his head and took out the scroll of fate he found. ”There aren't many scrolls pertaining to mixed raced people considering that they would need a considerable amount of human blood to count as mortal. Someone with a composition of three different types of blood definitely would seldom fulfill these criteria. I did manage to find a scroll that might have to do with that person though. It details the life of someone who was closed to a person that fits Senior Xin's description. It's just that … the life the scroll depicts is that of a god in his trial period.”

The Heavenly Emperor raised his brows. This seemed to get more bizarre the more he heard! ”So which god is it?”
