So it's the same now, although she is shocked by the scene unfolding before her, she instinctively believes that only the power of the High Celestial Plain is the greatest, a legitimate divine authority that has stood on this land since the era of the gods, and surely the other party wouldn't dare to provoke such a behemoth.
And she currently represents the High Celestial Plain, so the simple logic is... this is her source of confidence now.
"Do you think it's not funny?"
The host on stage tilted their head, not intending to answer Heavenly Guardian Three Servants: Aus's question at all, but instead asked back in a disappointed manner.
"Stop pretending to be dumb! Answer my question! Hurry up!"
Facing the other's calm but disappointed gaze, the woman responded sharply with a voice that was fierce on the outside but timid on the inside. She didn't know why she felt some trepidation, but she continued to put on a strong front. Even in front of other members of the Celestial Guardian Race, she couldn't afford to show weakness.
"Why not applaud? I put in a lot of effort to specifically make this to fool you all. Everyone else is giving face, why are you the only one not clapping?" Gu Mo looked back at the banner behind him, then at the other thunderously applauding audience members, saying with a pain-stricken and disappointed expression.
That look, those details, that acting, all stirred people's emotions, vividly embodying the feeling of "being let down in the end," making one couldn't help but feel sympathetic.
"Wait a minute, did you say something wrong..."
On the other side of the high-rise, Visakha, who was originally watching this magical turn of events with uncertainty, couldn't help but interject upon hearing this.
—Specifically made to fool us?
This sentence was something she really couldn't pretend to have not heard. After holding back again and again, she couldn't help it and decisively spoke up to point out the issue.
"Eh... oh oh oh, seems like I did, sorry sorry, I misspoke."
Gu Mo seemed to have been reminded, pondering about what he just said, and only then realizing the mistake, hurriedly bowing apologetically to the whole audience, while earnestly correcting his verbal slip—
"Sorry, everyone, let me correct that, actually I didn't put in a lot of effort..."
For a moment, from somewhere, convincing canned laughter suddenly sounded in various directions on the scene, akin to pre-inserted mechanical laughter in sitcoms. Under the influence of this laughter, the live audience also erupted into roaring laughter, each wave higher than the last.
The scene was like a big live talk show, where the host skillfully ignited the entire atmosphere.
But compared to the "audience" immersed unknowingly, those who were sober had a worse time, Visakha had a blank face, she felt this guy might be terminally ill, originally thinking there was a problem before as well, and now it seemed… she indeed acted rashly.
"Speaking of which, why are you still not applauding this time, are you really not going to give face?"
At this point, Gu Mo looked again in the direction of the previous Heavenly Guardian Three Servants: Aus, speaking with great discontent, his tone had already turned very displeased, eyes flickering with dangerous lights.
I have already given you a chance, but giving you a chance you were of no use.
"...Enough! Who do you think you are! So what if I don't give face, what can you do!!" The woman was still showing a fierce exterior while feeling timid inside. She had already started to feel scared, initially planning to let it pass just like that, yet did not expect the other party to focus their attention back on her upon changing the subject.
Due to personality, face, a subconscious belief that the other party wouldn't dare to act against her... and so on, for reasons alike, under the watchful eyes of her subordinates, she absolutely couldn't show weakness, still behaving unusually strong.
"..."
Gu Mo fell silent; he no longer spoke, but his expression seemed to turn gloomy all of a sudden, even the green mask covering his entire face couldn't conceal this change.
"What's wrong! Do you dare hit me! I am part of the Celestial Guardian Race, my master is Lord Palace God, the pinnacle of the eight million deities!"
Feeling increasingly anxious, Heavenly Guardian Three Servants: Aus quickly yelled out first, warning the other party that she was the face of the High Celestial Plain, with a backstage presence beyond their provocation, no matter how impulsive or angry they might be, they should weigh their own worth.
"..."
"..."
Another brief silence.
"Heh heh heh, why would I... I never hit women."
Seeing the person on stage's face stiffen slightly, his mouth twitching a bit, then as if reluctantly squeezing out a smile to say this, the suddenly tense nerves relaxed, emotions of tension and fear instantly transitioned into feelings of arrogant pride—she indeed made the right gamble!
This person truly wouldn't dare to confront the High Celestial Plain head-on!
Since the other party had retreated a step, naturally, she had to advance a step!
"Hmph! You better know, now immediately answer my previous question!" Heavenly Guardian Three Servants: Aus commanded with a high-and-mighty tone, her tone carrying an imperious command-like majesty, she also very complacently surveyed around, her nostrils almost looking up to the sky.
Yet just as she turned her head to look around, Gu Mo on the stage had already taken a rifle handed over from unknown direction, raising the brim of his white high-brimmed ceremonial hat slightly, then directly lifting the gun, aiming at the audience below for a moment.
