Female Novel
Chapter 1954
Chapter 1954 However, Jackie was altogether of a different pedigree. He did not come from a prestigious family norpossess a high level of cultivation so of course he was ripped for their insults. Zeph clenched his fiststightly. He would have shut Jackie up with a punch on the face if it was not for the last shred of reasonscontrolling him.
He had become a laughing stock and he would do anything to stop Jackie from creating more maliciousgossip. “Do you think you can turn things around by slandering me? Where’s your proof?”
Jackie smiled lightly and straightened himself up.” Ditto. Where’s your proof? You say you received thereports of me being a spy from your disciples. Then summon them here for an interrogation! I would liketo know just where I met up with the people of the Muddled Origin Clan too.”
Zeph took a deep breath and there seemed to be electricity flashing in his eyes. He had a lightbulbmoment- the malicious gossip was just a means to the end. He was impressed by Jackie’s quick-wittedthinking. It was a classic case of ‘if you can’t beat them, join them.
Zeph scoffed coldly and turned his head away. “Of course I can summon them here but why should I? Ihave the final say in this matter and I say you’re a spy and thus, forbidden to take the test. There’s noneed to waste any more time on you who is merely just a test-taker. Everything I do is for the good of theDual Sovereign Pavilion.” He was banking on his status to prevent Jackie from taking the test and haddecided that he would personally end his life after all the dust had settled.
“Just admit that you don’t want me to win the sengen pill,” said Jackie, without even bothering to look athim.

Zeph roared with laughter at his words. He turned around and stared at Jackie with hawk eyes. “You kepton saying you can win the sengen pill. Is this your humble way of calling yourself a master?”
“I’ve never said that. I just say I can get the sengen pill. Why don’t you let me take the test if you don’tbelieve me,” he said, not backing down one bit. “If I don’t have the ability then it means I was lying, and Ifi do, it means that I was telling the truth all along. How about it?”
All along, he aimed to find a way for Zeph to let him take the test. There was no way Zeph woulddisregard his question now that he had forced him into a corner and judging from the cold beads ofsweat rolling down his forehead, the words had achieved their intended effect. He was going to refuseJackie’s request but what was the worst that could happen if he let him take the test? The chances are,Jackie would fail so horribly and be branded as a spy forever.novelbin
“Fine, you can take the test but remember what you said,” Zeph said finally. He and the rest of the crowddid not doubt that Jackie would not be able to light up the fifth light. After all, three thousand people hadalready tried and not one of them succeeded. Thus, what could an initial stage of the innate level fighterpossibly do?
