1366: Showing His Edge

Showing His Edge

"Ah, isn't this the same rock that the princess used when she started a fire in clear water?" Someone exclaimed.2

"Yes, yes! Could it be that the High Priest's spell is also due to this stone?"

"So... He is a charlatan?!"

..

Seeing the evidence and hearing the doubts of the crowd, the First Prince of Aduo Chai immediately shouted angrily," High Priest, what's going on? Didn't you say that you do know magic? Didn't you say you can communicate with the divine? If that's the case, why is there a rock in your palm?"

When Lin Yuelan grabbed the High Priest's hand, he panicked and tensed up.

But after all, he had been the High Priest of the Aduo Chai Kingdom for more than ten years, and he had seen the ups and downs.

Therefore, after the panic, he immediately calmed down!

Then, he pretended to be calm and said angrily," First Prince, I was framed! This rock, it was her, yes, she put it in my hand!"

After panicking, he immediately thought of a reason!

And the more he said, the more it sounded like it was true!

Most people believed what Liang Renhui said.

Because Lin Yuelan did have a rock in her hand before, and Lin Yuelan grabbed Liang Renhui's hand. She didn't grab it earlier or later, but she wanted to grab it now.

Moreover, judging from Lin Yuelan's series of actions, she seemed to have a grudge against the High Priest and was targeting him in every way.

Now that they thought about it, even if the High Priest had made a mistake, it was probably because he had made things difficult for the people of the Long Yan Country. As for why the High Priest suddenly made things difficult for the Princess of Guguo, it was probably because of Princess Linglong of the Black Cloud Kingdom.

So, could it be that because of this, Princess Guguo made things difficult for him?

This princess of Guguo was so small-minded.

When they thought of this, the way they looked at Lin Yuelan immediately became a little strange.

Lin Yuelan didn't care about what the other party thought. She found it funny when she saw the High Priest who had harmed Ah Nu in a panic and in a rage out of humiliation.

She asked," Aiya, High Priest, you've really wronged me. Clearly, you placed a rock in this clear water and were caught by this princess on the spot. Instead, you slandered me and wrongly accused this princess."

The High Priest asked angrily," Hmph, you're the one who's slandering me. You're framing me. If you say that I was placing a rock in the clear water, then may I ask, who saw it? Who saw it?"

As he spoke, he deliberately asked the others around him.

He had the courage to ask everyone because he was sure that he had not been discovered in the past few decades.

Many people shook their heads when they heard his question." We really didn't see anything! We only saw the High Priest's hand move, and the clear water caught on fire!"

"Yes, that's what I saw." Someone immediately echoed.

Following that, voices rang out one after another in the venue. Every voice and every sentence was saying that they did not seem to have seen the High Priest put the rock into the water.

At this moment, Xiao Jingyu jumped out again.

She sneered and said," How funny! The High Priest was able to set a fire in the clear water with his own abilities, unlike someone who was using the tricks of a charlatan to fool everyone present! Now, she was still holding onto his hand tightly. She really didn't know how to behave!"

At this moment, the High Priest was completely relieved. His previous panic and nervousness were gone. With a proud expression, he raised his head high and said in disdain," Hmph, Princess Guguo, you heard it. No one here saw me put this thing in the water, so please don't accuse me! Otherwise, if you anger me, it will affect the friendship between the two countries. Can you bear the consequences?"

When Jiang Zhennan heard Xiao Jingyu insulting Lin Yuelan, he immediately shot her a cold look and shouted coldly," Shut up! Who are you to critique Yue 'Er?"

Then, he stood up and walked to Lin Yuelan calmly and coldly. His sharp eyes swept across everyone present. Then, he said in a serious and cold voice," I saw it!"
