Chapter 1654 - It Was Really Too Rash!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Xijiu only spoke when his forehead almost bled. However, she was talking to The Lord. “Can I use another way to test this person?”
The Lord slightly nodded. “As long as it’s correct, you can use any method you want.”
Gu Xijiu heaved a sigh of relief. The small note given by Di Fuyi had many different methods to test heaven’s gift disciples. Using the Open Heaven Stage was one of the most complicated ways, and it consumed a lot of spiritual power. Unless the tester had 70 percent confidence, Celestial Master Zuo would not simply get them to the stage back in the old days.
Certainly, Gu Xijiu was an exception.
Gu Xijiu filtered all the information in her head and finally picked one which did not require much of her spiritual power. She then told the young prince with a smile, “You don’t have to go to the stage, I have a better method for you...”
The young prince’s eyes immediately sparkled. He thought his strategy was finally effective. Everything could be discussed as long as he did not have to be watched and judged in public.
After all, it was not easy to deal with the pillar. If she used another method, it was also easy for her to skip some procedures.
Indeed, the alternative method was very simple. Gu Xijiu checked his pulse with a curtain between the two of them. According to the note, heaven’s gift disciples had a very similar unique pulse rate.
The details of the pulse rates were recorded in the note. One might not be a heaven’s gift disciple even if he or she possessed such pulse rates. However, all the heaven’s gift disciples also had such a unique pulse rate! Therefore, it was better for her to use this method first before needing to resort to the pillar.

The young prince had a relatively good spiritual power; however, his pulse rate was normal. Therefore, in less than a minute, Gu Xijiu concluded, “He is not a heaven’s gift disciple!”
The young prince was speechless, but went into a frenzy! It was too rash! It was really too rash!
Huo Qifang was just the son of a typical general, but he could be tested on the Open Heaven Stage. While this young prince was the most pampered prince of the Zhaoyang Kingdom! A prince was so much nobler than the son of a general! How could she conclude he was not a heaven’s gift disciple by only checking his pulse rate!?
The young prince felt it was an insult to him and immediately protested! The buddies he brought along also followed him to protest. Some people were reckless with their words, and they even claimed that Celestial Master Gu was trying to take revenge.
It was chaos at the scene.
Gu Xijiu casually said when everyone was done shouting, “Not convincing enough? You have to bear with it even if it’s not convincing! I’m the one who makes the call here!”
The young prince has never been insulted like this in his life. His face immediately turned green!
Gu Xijiu was the National Celestial Master of the Feixing Kingdom instead of the Zhaoyang Kingdom, why would she have the authority to say so?!
Anger made him forget about the fear. He turned around and kowtowed to The Lord. “My Lord, this is too rash, Celestial Master Gu is taking revenge! My Lord must seek justice for me.”
The Lord took a glimpsed at him. “One would not hire someone he did not trust, and one should trust the one he hired. Since I’ve appointed her to conduct the test, I shall leave it to her to handle it. Since she has concluded that you’re not a heaven’s gift disciple, you’re certainly not.”
The young prince went speechless.
The audience looked at each other. Apparently, The Lord was on Gu Xijiu’s side. Perhaps, he intended to train Gu Xijiu.
Those imperial officers even had better speculations. They claimed that Celestial Master Zuo was too high profile which made the The Lord’s image look weak. He was seen as a threat to The Lord’s status, hence, he has been banished from the role.
Furthermore, Celestial Master Zuo has gone missing for eight years, and that indirectly led to the counterfeit Celestial Master Zuo to endanger the continent and caused such big chaos. Perhaps, The Lord must be very upset with Celestial Master Zuo; that must be the reason The Lord wanted to train Gu Xijiu.
