Prime Minister King Guo Wei froze, then murmured in sudden understanding, "Right! That would defy reason!"
That was indeed the case. The Huan King was merely at the King Realm now, with countless civil and military officials under him and hundreds of millions of subjects. If all their karma, tribulations, and the like were piled onto his head, grains of sand would build a tower, drops of water would form an ocean. Even if the Huan King were a true immortal, he could not bear it!
Everyone fell speechless. Was this what they meant by the blue drawn from indigo surpassing the indigo itself?
Xu Fu was still a little girl, yet her skill in physiognomy seemed to have already surpassed Prime Minister King Guo Wei's. All she lacked was some experience of life!
Seeing this master and disciple behaving so unlike a master and disciple, Gao Gong could not help curling his lip. He had wanted to mock them, but swallowed his words and muttered instead, "It's not this, and it's not that. What exactly is going on?"
Guo Wei answered with a bitter smile, "In physiognomy, you acknowledge what you know and what you do not. It can only be grasped intuitively, not conveyed in words. It truly is difficult to explain! That is why people say it exists if you believe, and does not if you don't."
The corner of Gao Gong's mouth twitched, and he rolled his eyes. Nothing but empty words and evasions.
Jian Shang waved a hand to stop their argument. "Enough! Physiognomy is indeed profound and obscure, beyond ordinary understanding. Many things in this world cannot be explained clearly. I trust the weight of your words, Senior Prime Minister King. There must be a reason behind them!"
"Then..."
