Chapter 15: A Man Who Has Become a Spirit is Definitely No Good

“Du Wan, the Emperor’s intention is for them to arrive in the capital within these two days, so you should hurry and prepare for Lingsha and Yu'er.” Seeing his son quarreling with his daughter-in-law again, Gu Ruhai hurried to give orders.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room froze instantly! Even Gu Lingsha spat out the piece of meat in her mouth and glared at her grandfather.

She and Gu Lingyu were going too? They were only three years old...

“Father, but Yu'er and Lingsha are only three. Can they even be tested at such a young age?” Gu Liunian was the first to snap out of her astonishment.

But Gu Ruhai only let out a sigh and said, “Never mind them, even the two-year-old from my eldest brother’s direct lineage has to go! I heard that for this test, the Royal Xuan-Su Hall has developed even more precise testing tools. Therefore, of the ten families that received the imperial decree, everyone must go, except for those still in the womb.”

Crazy! The Emperor of the Haoyue Dynasty must be insane!

Infants are just born; even their spirits haven't fully developed. Just like her—despite having such powerful supernatural abilities in her past life, because her current body was too young, she had to undergo three years of mental cultivation before she could fully integrate those abilities with this shell.

But now, the Emperor actually wanted newborn infants to go? Wasn't this clearly a case of desperate measures being taken out of panic?

But resistance was futile; once the Emperor issued an imperial decree, no amount of protesting would be effective.

Thus, since the day the decree arrived, Gu Family Village felt as if a bomb had suddenly been dropped into it. The entire village was thrown into chaos by the upcoming trip to the capital.

And at this moment, Gu Lingsha fell into her first-ever period of deep contemplation.

A Summoned Spirit—she undoubtedly had none. Not only did she lack a Summoned Spirit, she didn't even have Battle Qi. Therefore, this test would undoubtedly categorize her as one of the lowest class of ordinary people.

Actually, what was wrong with being an ordinary person? At least she had always liked the kind of uninhibited life where no one paid attention to her.

But if that were the case, as the renowned powerhouse Gu Family, if they produced a lowest-class ordinary person, Lan Lengshuang would likely not let them off easy.

“Lan Lengshuang...”

By the time she murmured those three words, it was already late, and Gu Liunian and her husband in the eastern wing had already extinguished their lamps.

So, Gu Lingsha pursed her lips and intended to sleep, deciding to see how things went tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, just as she tucked her small quilt around her, a faint scent of sandalwood suddenly drifted in from the window. As if possessed, she scrambled up, her two large, pitch-black eyes, bright as stars, darting toward the window.

Sure enough, in less than three seconds, a white shadow appeared. Slowly, a slender figure, clad in plain white robes embroidered with flowing silver patterns that shimmered with a faint silver light, entered Gu Lingsha's vision.

Exquisite and peerless. A petal or two of pink peach blossom drifted onto their shoulder, and the tassels of the brocade box danced in the wind at their waist, adding to their ethereal, otherworldly aura. With delicate brows and light eyes, even though their knee-length, jet-black hair was lazily held up by a single pear-white jade hairpin, it was undeniable that the breathtaking features still carried an unmaskable air of lofty pride.

“This person... could they have become a spirit?”

The moment Feng Wurao crossed the windowsill, such a thought suddenly popped into Gu Lingsha's mind.
