286 A Spree (1/2)

The hubbub of noises had caused chaos, spreading across the crowd.

There were some masters among the crowd who indulged in eloquent talks in a high sounding way. As all of them possessed spiritual power, their voices had certainly become unusually loud.

One of the loudest ones had to be Gu Tianyi. ”Embarrassing! This is too embarrassing! She has humiliated the General. Just because she possesses some medical knowledge, she's then completely forgotten her useless worth. She even dared to impersonate the chosen disciple - how shameless. We, from the General Residence, are ashamed of her!”

”Haha. Exactly, this is hilarious. I wondered how powerful she could be, but she's turned out to be merely mediocre.” Some of the people agreed almost instantly.

”The idiot who dreamed of reaching the sky in a single bound has now been completely exposed with her true colors. An idiot will always be an idiot, anywhere, anytime…”The crowd continued.

”Her medical skill could also be fake. It was probably sheer luck that she managed to even cure the sick boy that one time.”

”Exactly, her medical skill must be totally incomparable to the Tianwen saint. That time was probably just a lucky coincidence.”

”Sigh, as the saying goes, empty cans make the loudest noise. She’s really ugly and empty…”

All kinds of nasty and vicious comments started to surface from the crowd; loud enough to be heard from the stage.

Di Fuyi could hear them, so could Gu Xijiu.

Being mocked publicly in such a scornful manner was unbearable.

There was only one way to describe the scenario.

It was as if a celebrity had just been publicly exposed with her scandal and was encircled by the endless flashing lights. She would then be harshly condemned both in speech and in writing. The amount of public pressure must be really devastating.

It was like a spree; a spree of condemnation.

Everyone was like the league of justice, as though they were on a morally higher ground, empowered enough to mock and condemn her, even though the issue had nothing to do with them, even though she might as well be innocent.

Di Fuyi looked at Gu Xijiu with his eyes half closed. Gu Xijiu puckered her lips, not saying a word. She acted fully at ease as though the public accusation had nothing to do with her. Underneath the sleeves, all she could feel was the coldness at the tip of her fingers.

Di Fuyi raised his hand and signaled the crowd. He uttered, ”Silence! Celestial Master Zuo has something more to say!”
