468 Personal Verification (1/2)

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.

The Emperor was silent.

The officials were lost for words.

Gu Xijiu did not know what to say.

Messenger Jiangshan gestured at Gu Xijiu, ”Miss Gu, please!”

No one had ever gone against the official decree of the Lord. Even though the Emperor was not reconciled, he could only helplessly watch as Messenger Jiangshan took Gu Xijiu away.

Messenger Jiangshan was of high integrity, as he attended the official affair strictly according to official principles. He did not even have a sip of water to drink before he left.

Messenger Jiangshan went outside and whistled. A milk-white carriage that was carried by two Pegasus descended from heaven to earth.

The carriage seemed to be luxurious in a modest way. There was cloud and mist surrounding it, making it look like a carriage for celestial beings.
