On an island in Sky Palace, a middle-aged man in gray clothing watched the gourd vine .
“Father, what are you looking at?” A young lady walked up the middle-aged man in gray clothing and looked in the same direction .
“Knife Queen’s student is in Sky Palace . He is on the Sky Road now,” the middle-aged man in gray clothing said .
The lady lifted her lips and said, “What’s the big deal? Many heirs of Kings come to Sky Palace for practice . Having him here should have no bearing . Besides, he is just her student . It’s not as if he is her son . ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, “Knife Queen is the old man’s favorite student . She asked the old man for permission to allow her own student to come here for practice . The old man agreed without a moment of hesitation . If he can cross the Sky Road, the old man is going to give him a placement in the White Jade Building, no matter what . ”
The lady’s eyes opened wide . “The old man has shown too much favoritism . We are the true students of Sky Palace, and we have to be in the top ten to attain a spot in the White Jade Building . He hasn’t done anything, and yet he earns a spot? That is not fair!”
The middle-aged man in gray clothing laughed . “There is no such thing as fair . The old man owns Sky Palace, so he is free to do that which makes him the happiest . Lady Su, keep in mind that everyone shares a different opinion on that which defines fairness . If you do not understand this, things may turn out poorly for you . ”

The lady nodded . She seemed to understand, but not completely .
The lady quickly looked away . She smiled and said, “It does not matter how much the old man likes him; if he cannot cross Sky Road, it is useless to debate . Not everyone can cross the Sky Road, after all . He will soon see how difficult that crossing can be . ”
The middle-aged man in gray clothing smiled . “Lady Su, you are too naive . If Knife Queen sent him here, he has the confidence to make it through . Now we have to find out if he can trigger the holy presence from the holy gourd . ”
Lady Su felt glum, and she said, “The gourd rarely releases a holy aura for our proper students . What makes him think he can trigger it?”
“Back in the day, Knife Queen triggered the holy gourd’s holy aura . She was an outsider at the time, too . She got a holy gourd knife air; if she hadn’t, she wouldn’t have achieved King class at such an early age . And then proceed to become half-deified so soon after . That gourd helped a lot,” the middle-aged man in gray clothing said .
“Knife Queen is a real genius . Even the old man has said she may well become a deified being . I don’t know about her student, though . I have heard he is a crystallizer, mind you . Kong Fei gave him a deified feather, and still no one dared to accept him . You can see how talented he is from that,” Lady Su said, with a blinking of her eyes .
The middle-aged man in gray clothing shook his head . “They didn’t refuse him because of a lack of talent . They refused him because of the instability of his genes . It is difficult to predict the future of a man like that . Whatever the case, it would be risking a grand investment . ”

“Let’s see how talented he is, then,” Lady Su said .
Han Sen glanced over the giant gourd vine that looked like a dragon . He stepped onto it, to reach the main green vine . But when he stepped onto it, he was shocked .
The gourd vine was fine, but the gourds started to shake . Each and every one of them . They were like vibrating dolls as they hung across the vines . It was quite spooky .
But aside from shaking, they did nothing else .
“No way! It looks very powerful, but that is surely just a bluff . If I fall down now, Yisha will kill me . ” Han Sen thought about that, and decided to keep walking .
Everywhere he went, the gourds vibrated . If they were not connected to the vine, they would surely have flown away .
When Han Sen saw that they were doing nothing but shaking, he relaxed and kept walking across the vine . He thought to himself, “The Sky Road cannot be this simple, surely . There must be some special trick to it . Let’s walk forward and have a looksie . ”

Han Sen kept walking across the gourd vine, while the people across Sky Palace were in shock .
Thousand Feather Crane looked towards Han Sen’s feet and saw the gourds vibrating like mad . His eyes almost popped out of their sockets .
He had been in Sky Palace for twenty years, and he had watched many creatures make the trip across the Sky Road . Some had passed over the vine without incident, some had been knocked off by an angered vine, and a select few had received approval by a holy gourd and been given a holy aura .
When Thousand Feather Crane crossed the Sky Road, he received a holy aura from a holy gourd . That in itself was a rare thing .
But he had never seen something like this transpire before . The gourds all looked scared of Han Sen, and they were shaking as if they wished to escape from him .
“What is it with this guy?” Thousand Feather Crane watched Han Sen cross over the holy gourds .
Lady Su and the middle-aged man in gray clothing saw this as well . It prompted Lady Su to ask, with much shock, “Father, what are these gourds doing? It doesn’t look as if they’re giving out a holy aura . But I’ve never heard of the gourds reacting like this to the approach of someone . ”
The middle-aged man in gray clothing looked at the vine and said, “This is strange . The gourds have not approved his talent, but…they are scared of him . ”
“The gourds are scared of him? That is impossible! He is just a Viscount . The holy gourd is a deified plant . Even if a deified elite was making the crossing, it shouldn’t be scared . He is just a Viscount,” Lady Su said again, dripping with disbelief .
This shouldn’t happen, but the gourds do look scared . ” The middle-aged man in gray clothing stroked his jaw and looked at Han Sen atop the gourd vine with interest .
In Sky Palace, many people were now focusing on Han Sen . Each and every person there had a strange expression .
Wherever he went, the gourds would shake with fear in a ten meter radius around him . When Han Sen went by, and they fell out of that radius, the gourds would revert to their still selves again .
While Han Sen was walking, nothing else happened aside from the shivering of the gourds . It actually made Han Sen depressed .
“D*mn it! Something please happen . I can’t just jump off . If I go back now, Yisha will kill me . ” Han Sen’s mind was racing for a solution .
But his minutes of furious thinking were futile . Before he knew it, he had walked to the other end of the gourd vine . He reached the stone steps on the main island, and the gourd had yet to have a response .
