Lu Jiu Que finished putting on the robe and was unexpectedly surprised to find that it was a good fit.
She pulled her long hair back into a high ponytail with a hairband of a similar color so she looked just like a handsome, personable young man of high status. Then, with a satisfied smile, she pushed open the door of the courtyard and walked out.
1…
The venue where the sect test was located was called Fish Dive City, which was visually represented by a carp swimming through a dragon gate.
Because the next day would be the day of the test, the entire Fish Dive City was ablaze with lights, and people’s voices created quite a boisterous noise. The place was a city that never slept.
Although Lu Jiu Que probably knew the distribution of power in Fish Dive City through the memories of the original host, she still approached her target destination without the slightest hesitation.
Amid the bright and colorful lights that filled the streets, a young lad dressed completely in white was strolling forward.
His long hair was thick and black, and the white robe was light and snow-white, yet no matter what he was wearing, it didn’t account for even one-thousandth of this young lad’s aura.
All it took was one look at this young man, and any passerby wouldn’t be able to draw their eyes away.
“Woah…”
“Hey! That person ran into me!”
“Ouch, ouch, ouch. Don’t you have eyes?!”
“You old man, quickly move. Hurry up and get out of my sight! Don’t block my view!”
“What are you looking at? What’s there worth seeing…? Er… Go away. Don’t block me. I want to see, too!”
…
On the main street, such chaos was commonplace and could be found everywhere.
Many pairs of eyes, like those of hungry wolves, were flashing with greed. How they all wished they could stick their eyes onto the young man who was wearing white.
Under the beams of moonlight that sparkled like gems, his white shirt was an upright and genuine sight. His well-curved brows thinned down to pointed ends at the tips in the shape of a sword, and his eyes were like stars on a cold night.
Was it the bright moon? Or the green bamboo? Or the wisp of breeze that cut through the cold night?
He was beautiful!
He was just too beautiful!
There were even people who involuntarily followed behind the young man in white. As if in a trance, they actually followed him to Yan Chai Hall.
Yan Chai Hall was the place in Fish Dive City where medicine was sold. What was this young man doing there?
Oh, it wasn’t that no one was allowed to visit this Yan Chai Hall; it was just that right then, there was an influx of people who had contracted some bizarre illness gathered in Yan Chai Hall.
Some said they were poisoned, while others said they were bewitched. If such a beautiful young man were to enter, what would he do if he was infected as well?
“Oh dear, Young Master, Young Master, you must not go in!” A houseboy dressed in green hurriedly stopped Lu Jiu Que and warned her. If he hadn’t seen how this young man was so beautiful that he clearly had no friends, the servant would really have given Lu Jiu Que a good scolding.
Who didn’t know that their Yan Chai Hall was in great trouble right then?!
Lu Jiu Que smiled and said, “What’s wrong? Did I do something?”
Lu Jiu Que gave him a faint smile, and the glow in her eyes was like a hook that seemed to pull on the houseboy’s soul until he was almost void of one.
“No… It’s not like that…”
“Then what are you doing?”
“The entire Yan Chai Hall has been booked by someone at this time, Young Master. This is—”
“Oh, I’m aware of it. There’s a group of young masters and ladies who are in great pain in the hall now, but they can’t find the cause of their pain, right?”
“What?!”
The houseboy was baffled. This matter had been kept highly confidential. Outsiders knew that they were ill, but they didn’t know of any symptoms beyond the extreme pain. How did this young man know?
“Young Master, you—”
Lu Jiu Que went on to say, “If you still wish for them to recover, then let me in. I have come at the order of His Excellency, the Son of God.”
1The moment that the houseboy heard the four words “the Son of God,” he was so scared that his soul nearly left his body.
“What! The Son of God?! His Excellency… His Excellency, he… He, he, he…”
The crowd of onlookers also gasped as they heard. The fire of amazement from a moment ago was instantly put out, leaving only respect and awe!
No wonder this young man was so delicate and peerless. He turned out to be an apostle of His Excellency, the Son of God!
