Chapter 468: Personal Verification
Messenger Jiangshan was a straightforward person. He presented a jade from his waistband in order to prove his identity. Then, he clarified the intention of his visit, "Your Majesty, I am here because of the official decree of the Lord."
Receiving the official decree from the Lord required every person to kneel. Thereupon, the people in the huge tea booth went down on their knees chaotically, including the Emperor.
Gu Xijiu was not taking precautions and was very much absorbed in the situation. When she finally reacted, she realized that she was the only one standing in the entire tea booth, like a crane standing amongst chickens.
Messenger Jiangshan looked at her and said, "Gu Xijiu, please step forward to receive the official decree from the Lord."
To her surprise, the official decree of the Lord was meant for her.
Gu Xijiu frowned in astonishment. However, she was not reckless enough to act stubborn at this critical timing and foolishly refuse to kneel, so she went down on her knee.
Messenger Jiangshan waved his hand and a silver-white scroll emerged out of the void and appeared to be floating mid-air. There were some lively and exquisite words, like flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, that could be seen appearing following an order on the scroll. There were only a few short sentences, "Gu Xijiu, as the follower of the Lord, is permitted to enter Tianju Hall for her studies. This should be carried out immediately. She’ll be sent personally by Messenger Jiangshan."
The words were not very huge, but huge enough to be seen clearly by every person that was present.
