That was incorrect. It was The Lord, also known as Huang Tu. The attire was a clear display of his current identity as The Lord.

Their eyes met for a while. Then, Gu Xijiu rose from her bed and greeted him formally with a bow. ”Welcome, My Lord. What is the matter?”

The courtesy in her response was polite and considerate. She knew her manners, leaving Huang Tu no chance to be picky about her flaws.

Huang Tu observed her for a moment, as though trying to find some clues from her expression. However, Gu Xijiu was calm even under his intense glare. She did not show any waves of emotion.

”Gu Xijiu, you are now the National Celestial Master of the kingdom, so you should take up your responsibility. There will be a test for the identity of heaven's gift disciples tomorrow. You will be the one to host the event.”

Gu Xijiu looked him in the eye and said, ”My Lord, are you treating me like one of the heaven's gifts disciple now?”

In fact, all heaven's gift disciples were his followers as well, like Long Siye, Hua Wuyan and the rest. They always acted according to his orders.

”No, your position is higher than the heaven's gift disciples,” Huang Tu answered.

”Are you handing me the task of Celestial Master Zuo? Aren't you worried that I may seize your authority?”

”I am not worried, as long as you are capable.” Huang Tu was not concerned.

Gu Xijiu could feel the chill in his tone, but her smile remained. ”Can I say no?”

Huang Tu looked at her fixedly and answered, ”You can say no, but you have to know that you are a little different.”
