Chapter 614 - The Tree of Love, the River of Forgetfulness (1/2)

At that time, Xin Lan had arrived in front of the palace of the Fate's Scribe. He stared at the gate and furrowed his brow. Honestly, he never would have thought he'd be trying to find out more about a fallen god one day. But as long as this could save his Master from having to worry about Jin Ling …

He sighed and stepped up to the guards. ”Xin Lan from the dragon race came to ask the Fate's Scribe for assistance.”

Just like before, he was led inside and brought to the Fate's Scribe's study.

Shun Tao hurriedly got up when he saw who his guest was. ”Senior Xin Lan …”

Xin Lan nodded. ”I've come to ask for the Fate's Scribe's help with a mission. It concerns the fate of someone from the Nine Heavens.”

Shun Tao motioned at the chair in front of his table. ”Certainly. Please, have a seat.”

Xin Lan didn't bother to sit down and instead walked to the door on the other side of the room, looking at the garden. What he wanted to know wasn't anything the Fate's Scribe would know just like that. He would need to consult the scrolls of fate or maybe even the river of forgetfulness. ”The person I want to ask about was called Xiang Yu. He met a demon while on a trial in the mortal world and fell in love. After passing the trial, he followed him into the demon realm, they married but Xiang Yu finally fell. I want the Fate's Scribe to tell me more about him. Where did he come from? Which family did he belong to? What kind of trials did he face? And what happened in the demon realm that made him fall?”

Shun Tao didn't answer. He just stared at Xin Lan's back. This senior from the dragon race … He really was quite ambitious. Did he think finding out such things was easy?

Xin Lan furrowed his brows and turned around. ”What?”

”That …” Shun Tao cleared his throat. ”I can have a look at his scroll of fate and tell Senior Xin Lan about his trial but as for everything else …”

”Isn't the Fate's Scribe able to have a look at the river of forgetfulness? If the stories aren't wrong, you should be able to see a person's whole life in there. Regardless of whether that person is a mortal or immortal.”

Shun Tao smiled wryly. ”That's … possible … in theory.”

”Oh? So you can't do it?”
