957 Test——2
------------------
Seeing that Song Yan was leaving and Shen Yu was looking at him pitifully, Old Master Gu stopped Song Yan. Everyone including Gu Bai thought that Old Master Gu had thought it through and was now trying to make amends with Song Yan but who would have thought that he was still trying to discredit Song Yan as he coldly looked at Song Yan and said, " Didn't you say that you are the disciple of my grandson? Then you prove your worth to me or else you can leave the Gu family as soon as possible. I don't want a riff-raff to stay in the Gu family."
Song Yan's eyes flashed with annoyance, she turned to look at the stubborn Old Master Gu and then calmly stated, " No matter how bad of a riff-raff I am, I am afraid that my skills are still better than the one next to you." Her words caused Shen Yu and Old Master Gu to stiffen as their faces turned red with humiliation but Song Yan wasn't done yet, she curled a side of her lips and then continued, " If you want me to prove my worth then I will but just so you know, my worth is not something that anyone could question as they want. If I prove that I am better than any disciple of the Gu sect then Miss Shen had to go on her knees and kowtow three times in front of me for bringing embarrassment to me and my husband, do you agree?"
" You!" Shen Yu's expression turned malevolent and she said in a hurry, " I was not the one who asked you to prove your worth, then why do I have to kowtow in front of you? On what basis?!"
" On the basis that you deliberately stopped my ticket from reaching me, on the basis that you humiliated me despite knowing who I am and since you are so close and filial to Old Master Gu, you will not see him bow his head in front of me right?" Song Yan questioned with a serene expression while looking at Shen Yu. " He is your elder and mine as well I cannot say anything to him but since he dared to place the condition of asking me to leave the Gu family, then I need to place one as well. Only then will this bet be called fair or did you think that you can just get away with what you want to do?"
Shen Yu's expression turned stiff, she did not expect that Song Yan would treat her and Old Master Gu like this, it was as if she did not even care about Old Master Gu. No there was no way that Song Yan had no respect for Old Master Gu, even though the latter was no longer the master of the Gu family, he still had many connections and treasures which were quite important to a celestial master!
What Shen Yu did not know was that Song Yan indeed had no interest in those so-called treasures and connections, she was capable enough to deal with everything on her own.
Seeing that the woman in front of her was acting very confident, Shen Yu felt a bad premonition rise in her heart. However, she did not wish to leave an opportunity to humiliate Song Yan as she was feeling quite indignant in her heart and ignoring Gu Bai's signals she continued speaking, " Fine but we will have to test you in a manner which should be clear and fair. If you can do something that the top disciples of the Gu sect can do then there is no point of this test." She then paused and added, " How about drawing the S+ Ghost warding talisman? As long as you can draw that talisman I will agree that you are better than every disciple of the Gu sect."
" S+ grade talisman?" Song Yan arched a brow while the rest of the people in the crowd sucked in a deep breath. One could see that Shen Yu was deliberately making things difficult for her as drawing a S+ grade talisman was something that even Gu Chenyi cannot do! What Shen Yu was asking Song Yan was akin to surpassing her master!
Shen Yu raised her chin thinking that Song Yan was feeling no longer confident and nodded before saying mockingly, "That's right, you can't do it? An S-grade talisman is something that the disciples of the Gu sect can draw even in their sleep so if you are going to become the disciple of the master of the Gu sect then drawing an S+ grade talisman is something that you should know at the least?"
At the least? Song Yan was so amused by Shen Yu that she wanted to play with her even more. She crossed her arms and nodded before saying, " All right, I agree but—— on one condition, bring those top disciples of the Gu Sect out who can draw S grade talismans."
Shen Yu stiffened while Gu Bai face palmed, only a fool wouldn't be able to see through things by now. Song Yan was here not to attend the auction but humiliate Shen Yu to the point where the latter couldn't even think of making a comeback for weeks.
" Why?" Shen Yu asked with a low voice. " Are you trying to cheat?" She added suspiciously but it only made Song Yan tickled as she shook her head and then said,
" Of course not, I will be the one going first…" Song Yan took out a yellow talisman with a brush from her storage ring and then continued speaking, " But I still want to see how skilled the disciples of the Gu sect are, after all, for you to look down on me, they must be exceptional… and I just wish to see those exceptionally talented disciples."
" Fine," though Shen Yu was feeling a bit nervous upon seeing that Song Yan was not afraid but she did not wish to admit that Song Yan was any better than her, thus she thought that Song Yan was only wasting time and nothing more!
