This bet was ridiculously large. Although everyone present had their own thoughts, it was true that everyone was nervous to the point of sweating.
Gu Xietian clenched his fists tightly. Although he admired his daughter's courage, he was more worried about her safety.
Now that there were so many witnesses here, it would be terrible if his daughter lost and had to accept the punishment!
Moreover, even if his daughter was right, what else could they do if they refused to admit it?
No matter how he looked at it, the chances of his daughter winning this time were slim!
It was rare for him to be so nervous, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
"Alright, since the bet has been made, Miss Gu, can you tell me your reason now?" Rong Chu urged.
Gu Xijiu was not in a hurry and sat on the chair, "What's the hurry? Since the bet is so big, there must be an outsider as a witness. "
Rong Chu was furious, "There are so many people here and yet I can't be a witness?"
Gu Xijiu knocked on the table with her fingers, "Normally, a witness has to be unrelated to both parties." She glanced at the crowd, "Everyone here is either my family or your family. Only Miss Gu is an outsider, but she is the one who started this incident. Naturally, she cannot be a witness."
Rong Chu was so angry that he almost laughed. The ugly girl in front of him was unusually bold and cunning!
"Then who do you want to invite?"
Gu Xijiu looked at Rong Jialuo and said, "Your Highness, who is the one who can stay out of trouble and is not afraid of any power or faction?"
Rong Jialuo glanced at her and answered without hesitation, "Celestial Master Zuo and Celestial Master Zuo are both fine."
Rong Chu sneered, "Do you think it's easy to invite the Celestial Master Zuo and Celestial Master Zuo? They don't even care about the imperial power. Even if my father wants to see them, he would need to sincerely invite them. How could such a person come here to be a witness for such a small matter? "
Rong Jialuo lightly said, "I can try to invite Celestial Master Zuo." He said a few words to the guard beside him and handed him a token. The guard immediately left.
Everyone's eyes widened!
The two most mysterious and powerful people in the Feixing Kingdom were the Celestial Master Zuo and Celestial Master Zuo. They did not show up easily, but once they did, it would definitely cause a sensation.
However, they did not care about political affairs. Celestial Master Zuo's responsibility was to supervise the emperor's governance and to pass down orders. There was nothing in this world that could escape his eyes and ears.
Celestial Master You, on the other hand, observed the stars, predicted good or bad fortune, and prayed for rain to subdue demons.
Celestial Master Zuo was elusive. No one knew where he came from, and no one knew where he was going.
Celestial Master You, on the other hand, stayed in the Celestial Master's Mansion, Xing Yao Palace. He would not leave the palace easily, and it was extremely difficult for people to see him.
Gu Xietian had been an official in the imperial court for a long time, but he had only seen Celestial Master Zuo once, and it was from afar. He could not even see his face clearly because he was wearing a mask.
As for Celestial Master You, he was fortunate enough to meet him twice. They were quite far apart as Celestial Master You was standing on the Rain Prayer Platform while Celestial Master You was guarding the platform.
The two Celestial Masters did not associate with anyone in the imperial court. Even if the emperor wanted to see them, he would have to use the word 'please'. As for whether they would come or not, it would depend on their mood …
Could the Crown Prince, who had lost some of his power, really invite one of them?
No one believed it! However, their disbelief only lasted for a quarter of an hour.
