Gu Xijiu just realized that the hairpin ceremony had very complicated formalities . It was almost as intricate as a wedding ceremony . The complexities made her slightly impatient, as she did not have to do much . She only had to pray and pa.s.s the incense to Di Fuyi . Delighted, she watched as Di Fuyi knelt and bowed with Gu Xijiu's body .
Gu Xijiu could not help but take delight in watching Di Fuyi put himself in uncomfortable situations which he would typically not have to encounter . Di Fuyi had always been very superior, so he had not bowed to anyone before other than The Lord . She could finally make a fool out of him, for once .
Suddenly, Di Fuyi was caught off guard and fell while he was trying to place the incense under the board . Awkwardly, he crashed into her arms so "Celestial Master Zuo" now had Gu Xijiu's warm and soft body in his arms . The real Gu Xijiu also involuntarily lost her balance and knelt down while holding on to "Gu Xijiu . "
When she finally got a hold of what happened, both of them were already kneeling side-by-side on the floor . Di Fuyi went about things steadily, as he took the opportunity to place the incense under the board . However, the sequence of all the incidents was too coincidental . It seemed as though both of them were bowing to the heavens and the earth as part of a wedding ceremony .
Gu Xijiu frowned as she tried to rise . However, her legs felt weak again when she tried to stand . She fell back to her kneeling position . Both of them looked exactly like husband and wife bowing to each other during the wedding ceremony .
Long Siye, who stood aside and watched as they bowed, could not hold it back anymore and took a step forward, "Celestial Master Zuo, what are you doing right now?"
Gu Xijiu was unable to express her discomfort and had to suffer in silence . She knew something was odd about the two bows that she just did . Di Fuyi probably made her do it, but she could not point him out bluntly . She stood up as she tried to find an appropriate reason to answer him . Calmly, Di Fuyi stood up and threw a glare at Long Siye, "Overlord Long, Celestial Master Zuo fell when I crashed into him . Why are you making such a big fuss out of it?"
There was a sign of pain in Long Siye's eyes, "Xijiu…"
Di Fuyi nodded at him gently . With Gu Xijiu's usual tone of voice, he said, "Overlord Long, please return to your seat . I shall serve you a cup of tea later . " Long Siye was stunned . Quietly, he then turned around and returned to his seat .
In great frustration, Gu Xijiu straightened things out with Di Fuyi, "Di Fuyi, don't use my body to do anything to hurt him!"
Di Fuyi looked at her and said, "Should I let him reprimand you?"
Gu Xijiu frowned, "He was reprimanding you, not me . "
"But you are the one who is inside my body now . "
"So what? He was reasonable . Weren't you the one who made me bow, twice?" Gu Xijiu did not hold back her doubts .
Di Fuyi was speechless for a few moments but answered, "Yes . "
"Why?"
"The purpose of the whole ceremony is for you . You should be the one to bow to the heavens and the earth . We can fool the crowd by switching our bodies, but we cannot disrespect the heavens and the earth . You should bow . " The reasons that Di Fuyi had given were bold and upright .
Gu Xijiu did not answer him, as she still had her doubts . She had a feeling that Di Fuyi was making her bow as part of an involuntary wedding ceremony . But perhaps she was too skeptical . What had happened was only a minor interruption . After that, everything went on smoothly for the entire celebration .
