Chapter 172: Gu Xijiu Had Frequently Been Upstaged Recently
Di Fuyi looked at her for a moment, and he suddenly laughed, "Please tell me about it."
Gu Xijiu stared at him for a moment and wanted to say but hesitated. Then, she sighed, "It’s alright, we should not mention it publicly." Everyone was confused and looked at each other to see if someone knew what had happened.
They just felt that her words had a hidden meaning that implied that she had offended Celestial Master Zuo, but because of his authority, she could not voice it out but had to keep it in her heart.
Verification of a disciple with a gift from the gods was originally done by only Celestial Master Zuo, but if he had personal feelings against Gu Xijiu, then he might not be objective in his verification.
Though there was no hearsay about Celestial Master Zuo making any mistake before, no gossip does not mean that he had never made a mistake. After all, he was too powerful that nobody dared to doubt on his decision.
His verifications were done openly, privately or at the Open Heaven Stage outside the Fucang Palace. Most of the time, he would complete the test alone while other people waited outside. At this moment, the people started to doubt whether he would be objective had Gu Xijiu offended her.
Among the primary doubters was Gu Xietian. He was so worried when Gu Xijiu said the two words, ‘heavenly gift.’
As he heard what Gu Xijiu said, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, testing if someone has been endowed with a gift from heaven is a serious matter. I think maybe we should have an open test and have two assistants so that everybody will be convinced of the result."
