Chapter 276: I Do Not Regret!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Apparently, those few ladies came from a rather famous clan. They were discussing happily but was full of sarcasm.
"If she were to be tested as a fake heaven gift disciple by Celestial Master Zuo in the eyes of the public, how can she still live in this world?" Someone at the next table sighed.
"Yes. People who fake being heaven gift disciples will be sent into the Dark Forest. I heard that the Crown Prince went into the Dark Forest for an adventure but he could only reach the third peak.
He is so capable but still returned with injuries. Miss Gu Xijiu has a weak physique and has no spirit power. I am afraid that she will not be able to last the moment she enters the Dark Forest."
"It is such a waste of her medical talent…"
Di Fuyi listened a moment and looked at the table with the female knights. He played with the glass on his hand and looked at Gu Xijiu, "Do you still want to test this in public?"
Gu Xijiu raised her eyebrow, "Why not?"
"I have told you that I will not be lenient with the rules for you."
"You just need to be fair."
She then laughed, "The public test has been spread to the entire kingdom and there are so many people who come just to watch it. Can you still take back your word?"
"Why not? I am not accountable to him. If you are feeling regretful…"
"I don’t regret!" Gu Xijiu said only three words. She would find a way out of the impasses.
Di Fuyi remained silent. His face was dimmed.
In fact, everyone was discussing the same thing. Some of them were here just for fun, some were curious, some were here just to gloat…
Although everyone had a different mentality, most of the people were not optimistic about the results of the test.
...
When it was close to noon, Di Fuyi’s ride slowly appeared in the sky and the Open Heaven Stage was officially opened.
Under the stage, it was packed with a jostling audience and everyone was waiting to watch the test.
Although it had been several days since the last time, it seemed to be a continuation of that day.
Gu Xijiu was standing next to Di Fuyi. She looked at the Open Heaven Stage and the packed audience. She could not help but feel inferior.
The time seemed to have turned back and she had been running back to square one after all.
However, there were also some differences. Before she escaped, she was a stranger to Celestial Master Zuo. And now that she had established some sort of friendship with him, at least she knew that he would do things fairly.
Another big difference was that before she escaped, she had no spiritual power, but now, she already possessed it.
Although this spiritual power was not strong, it should not be a problem for her to jump down from the boat.
Therefore, the crowd who had been waiting for long had just witnessed a miracle.
They thought that the supposedly-weak Gu Xijiu would not successfully jump down from the boat, was at five to six-story height to the Open Heaven Stage.
The noisy crowd immediately became quiet after they saw it.
The Emperor of Feixing Kingdom was here with his government officials. They were all sitting on the observation platform which was very near the Open Heaven Stage, thus they could see the changes on the stage clearly.
Of course, Gu Xijiu who stood on the Open Heaven Stage could see everyone clearly too.
The Emperor, Crown Prince (Rong Jialuo), Eighth Prince (Rong Che), Fourth Prince (Rong Chu) were all present. She could recognize a lot of familiar faces.
Of course, Gu Xietian was among them.
It had been just a few days and he looked a lot older now. There were additional grey hairs on his head and wrinkles on his face.
Ever since the boat appeared in the sky, his eyes had been tightly affixed on her and he was surprised when he saw her jumping off the boat without the help from any external force.

He was also a martial arts expert and knew that she could not do it without having at least a spiritual power of level two!
His daughter was rescued by Overlord Long for just a few days but it already had such a big improvement. The red spot on her face seemed to be lighter. It seemed like Overlord Long did give her some treatment after all. Apparently, Overlord Long was very skillful as it was a significant improvement in just a few days. Unfortunately, his daughter was caught by Celestial Master Zuo to take on the test, if not, she would have experienced a big change in just one year…
Gu Xietian grabbed his fist tightly. It was his first time meeting the handsome Celestial Master Zuo and he was not very pleased with him.
Once the person being tested was on the Open Heaven Stage, he or she was not allowed to talk to people under the stage.
Apparently, Gu Xietian knew the rule, so although he had a lot of words to say to his daughter, he did not dare utter a word.
Rong Jialuo also looked at Gu Xijiu. He was calm as always. When Gu Xijiu turned and looked at him, he smiled as though encouraging her.
The way Rong Che looked at Gu Xijiu was a bit complicated. When Gu Xijiu looked at him, he showed her an encouraging gesture.
As for Rong Chu, he was here only to gloat and even felt happy to see Gu Xijiu receive her punishment.
There was one observation station covered with mantle somewhere not far away from the Open Heaven Stage. When the mantle was fluttering, it appeared a few shadows inside the station.
This station was prepared for women from rich families and Leng Xiangyu was inside with her few daughters.
Of course, there were also a few other aristocratic ladies who came to watch.
At first, Leng Xiangyu did not want to come as she did not want to see any outsiders.
Her daughter Gu Tianqing was supposed to be the top among all these aristocratic ladies. She was pretty and talented, had a gentle character and was good at handling issues. Leng Xiangyu was proud of her daughter and she had always shown off her daughter in front of all these aristocratic ladies during their gathering.
However, no one would expect that her daughter was involved in such a big scandal, and the fact that she tortured Gu Xijiu had also spread out to the public.
Her reputation had plummeted. Even when she had met some of her close friends, they acted strangely and talked nastily to her. She was angry but she could not do anything except to not go out to meet anyone.
Moreover, her daughter Gu Tianqing was still in prison. She had been putting a lot of effort to rescue her daughter but no one wanted to help her…
Her only backbone, Gu Xietian also treated her coldly and did not want to talk to her. Of course, he did not come to her place at night too.
Although she still owned the name of Mrs General, she seemed to be living in the abandoned palace…
However, she never did reflect on her own mistakes but had put all the blame on Gu Xijiu and hated her from the bottom of her heart.
Therefore, even though she knew that she would get treated badly if she came over, she insisted to come to watch how Gu Xijiu got punished with her daughters.
Of course, she claimed that she came as she was concerned about her daughter but no one would believe her words.
