132 An Unalloyed Victory for Miss Gu! (1/2)

The emperor stood up immediately, ”Good! Very good! Very good! Little Xijiu, you did not disappoint me; proving my doubts wrong!”

He turned to Celestial Master You and Tian Jiyue, ”Celestial master, how was it? This time, little Xijiu has won, right?”

Tian Jiyue shifted his focus on Gu Xijiu for a moment before he slightly nodded his head, ”An unalloyed victory for Miss Gu!”

The people upstairs were still steady as most of them were court officials. They congratulated and clapped their hands when Gu Xijiu won the match.

In contrast, the people downstairs consisted of mostly the general public. Therefore, when the news of Gu Xijiu winning the game had spread, there was an outburst of cheers. Some even set off firecrackers along the street to celebrate her success.

Meanwhile, Gu Xixi was very pale and she could not say anything but stare blankly at Gu Xijiu putting the alchemy furnace into herbag.

Furthermore, she was feeling ashamed to stay any longer. She then whistled to beckon her crane and flew away in dejection.

Gu Xietian grunted coldly, ”She got away so easily, without bearing the brunt yet!”

Gu Xijiu sipped on her cup of tea, but did not say anything.

Did she really not face the consequences?

Even if Gu Xixi had lost the match, it seemed like she did not lose anything because that prize was given by the fourth prince, Rong Chu.

However, what she lost was her reputation as an expert and she could no longer act like she was a professional in this kingdom anymore…
