A bet was settled in this way, and neither the Demon God Emperor Palace nor the Supreme Hall achieved their goals, while the Zhenyang Sect managed to defuse a crisis without much danger.
"Long Yan, what exactly do you want?"
Huangshan Ancestor said to Long Yan.
Without bringing back the Godson in one piece, he too would be unable to explain himself.
"It was you who proposed the bet, and you understand the principle of 'a willing bettor must be a willing loser,' don't you?"
Long Yan said with a faint smile, "What, can't the Supreme Palace afford to lose?"
His tone was teasing.
If Zhenyang Sect had lost, of course, they would have had to release both Young Master Qilin and the Godson, but the outcome was not Zhenyang Sect's loss, so there was no reason for them to do so.
"Long Yan, you are well aware of the Godson's status in the Supreme Hall. If anything happens to the Godson at Zhenyang Sect, do you think you can withstand the Supreme Hall's wrath?"
