"Ruyi Tianbao Purple Jade Furnace, an eighth-grade alchemy furnace, can refine eight-grade rare elixirs, and is the best among alchemy furnaces. Gu Xijiu, if you win, this alchemy furnace will be yours, and I will personally engrave it on it. Your name is not allowed to be robbed by anyone. If you die, this alchemy furnace will be smashed and buried with you. If you are alive for one day, if this alchemy furnace falls into the hands of anyone, it will be considered stolen. I, the Tianshi Mansion, will come forward to help you chase it. Get it back and punish the thief. If you lose, I will cut out your tongue with my own hands, and urge you to marry the twelfth prince as a concubine, and you will not be able to be rehabilitated for the rest of your life..." Tian Jiyue's voice was as sharp as the spring breeze. The sound echoed in the hall, and his eyes swept across everyone: "Do you understand?"
Gu Xixi's face turned slightly pale. This was the first time she had seen this Ruyi Tianbao Purple Jade Furnace. This time she went down the mountain to get close to Rong Chu, and her main purpose was to come to this alchemy furnace.
She has not yet found an opportunity for Rong Chu to take out this alchemy furnace and give it to her. She did not expect that it would be placed here as a kind of lottery today!
If you win, it's easy to say, but if you lose, then you'll be hopeless forever!
She originally had an idea in her mind. Even if Gu Xijiu was lucky enough to win the alchemy furnace this time, she would not be able to save it with the skills of this useless person. She had many ways to get the alchemy furnace back, but now...
She felt a little regret, especially when she saw Gu Xijiu's confident look.
But now she had no room for maneuver, and she was absolutely impartial, so she couldn't say anything else but gritted her teeth and said 'I understand'.
Naturally, others had no objections.
Tian Jiyue tapped her fingers on the table, neither lightly nor hard, as if it hit someone's heart: "Gu Xijiu, you can tell me your reasons first."
The huge balcony was packed with people, but it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Xijiu, wanting to hear what explanation she could give.
Under the gaze of so many people, Gu Xijiu remained as calm as if on a spring outing. She finally spoke: "Excuse me, Lord Privy Councilor, does Tianwen Sect Master have a saint disciple named Gu Xixi?"
The privy envoy didn't expect that Gu Xijiu would ask him the first question first. He was in charge of the world's intelligence, and Men Qing, who naturally knew about this matter, nodded immediately: "That's right! Saint Gu Xixi is Tianwen Sect Master’s youngest disciple.”
Gu Xijiu nodded and continued: "Since you are the disciple of the sect master, you should have a very thorough understanding of the master's personality and actions. You will also protect the master's image in front of others, right?"
This was a good statement, and everyone nodded again.
Gu Xixi couldn't help but said angrily: "This holy lady naturally understands Master's personality and actions, and is loyal to Master. I will never allow anyone to say anything wrong about him! What do you mean by this?"
Gu Xijiu sneered: "Do you know your master's personality? Well, let me ask you, Tianwen Sect Master, how many people have he cured in these years? What are their identities?"
Gu Xixi was stunned. She got started late, and she really hadn’t done any statistics on this issue—
However, she didn't want to be questioned by Gu Xijiu, so she took a deep breath and said, "Of course I know that my master doesn't treat people easily. When the prince of Haoyue Kingdom got seriously ill, he couldn't ask my master to come down..."
