Gu Shen sometimes wondered if these occurrences were predestined by the Goddess of Destiny?
Coincidence, too much of a coincidence.
It's as if someone placed each piece on the chessboard into the corresponding position... Then it stirred up scenes affecting the Five Continents, growing from small to grand, increasingly solemn and spectacular.
The "breaking of an engagement" of an ordinary family could not have caused such a commotion as it did with Meng Xizhou.
This spirited annulment sparked considerable debate throughout the Five Continents, even prompting some contemporaries to imitate... For instance, Lin Sheng, Duke Duanyang's daughter, when Gong Zi returned from the North Continent, he recounted his Northern journey to Gu Shen, including his smooth return trip. In a way, he too was a fortunate one helped by the Light Goddess.
Gu Shen inwardly thought, no wonder he often saw Gu Nanfeng gazing blankly at the distant sky while he was in Changye before.
