Chapter 1308: Chapter 1310: Reinforcents Arrive_1 Chapter 1308: Chapter 1310: Reinforcents Arrive_1 But Jin Jing’s eyes were bloodshot, as if she was about to go mad.
Upon hearing those words, she fiercely glared at Mrs.
Diao Mo.
That look seed to carry imnse hatred, as though she wished she could tear the other person into pieces; even Mrs.
Diao Mo couldn’t help but jump in fright and subconsciously took a step back.
The great elder glanced over, his eyes slightly darkened, but he didn’t speak further.
Jiang Yichun, escorting Bai Ruozhu, distanced themselves from the area, as Jin Jing’s current state seed very abnormal; it was better to keep their distance.
Mrs.
Diao Mo looked sowhat disheveled at the mont, just as she locked eyes with Bai Ruozhu, who was smiling.
Instantly, anger surged within her.
“You really have a sharp tongue, able to argue black into white, but even so, what good is your eloquence?
Five Holy Guards can testify.
Whose words are more trustworthy, those of a foreign woman or the words of five Holy Guards?” Mrs.
Diao Mo said, raising her eyebrows.
Bai Ruozhu wasn’t angry and replied with a smile, “Everyone knows that Boss Jin hired the Invincible Escort Agency for protection.
With so many from the Invincible Escort Agency along the way, they saw everything clearly.
Does Mrs.
Diao Mo really think it’s impossible to contact them?”
At this, Mrs.
Diao Mo’s face changed even more.
She was now blatantly twisting the facts.
If the people from the Invincible Escort Agency were found to testify, she could still deny it, of course, but that way she would certainly provide fodder for gossip, and the hateful second elder and his group were always watching this side.
Mrs.
Diao Mo wanted to speak again, but this ti the great elder finally spoke, “After all is said and done, you have not produced any substantive evidence.
This is rely entrapnt by interrogation, confusing the thoughts of the Holy Guards.”
Bai Ruozhu sneered internally.
These two were complicit in their disgrace; the fox’s tail showed so quickly.
Pretending to be high and mighty before, talking about clarifying matters, but in the end, weren’t they just forcing a charge upon her?
“Bring them,” the great elder ordered, “take Mr.
and Mrs.
Bai to the Holy Hall prison, to be ready for divine punishnt.”
At his words, a triumphant look appeared in Mrs.
Diao Mo’s eyes, and she even laughed undisguisedly in victory.
At this mont, a few Holy Guards surrounded them.
Bai Ruozhu narrowed her eyes at the great elder, then suddenly pointed to the brooch on her chest, “Are you all blind?
Are you ignoring High Priestess Kailin now?”
The great elder’s sharp eyes narrowed as he finally saw clearly that Bai Ruozhu was wearing a brooch, which was the symbol of High Priestess Kailin!
He was taken aback.
How could this foreign woman be related to High Priestess Kailin?
Mrs.
Diao Mo was also shocked as she looked at Bai Ruozhu’s brooch, disbelief coloring her voice, “How could you possibly have sothing belonging to the High Priestess?
You must have stolen it!”
Bai Ruozhu laughed coldly, “I don’t have Mrs.
Diao Mo’s kind of skill—how could I steal it?
Since you also recognize the object, you know we are not the kind you can just fra and accuse willy-nilly!”
From their expressions, she could tell that they were very fearful of High Priestess Kailin.
This brooch seed to represent High Priestess Kailin herself.
She couldn’t help speculating—could Kailin be the current High Priestess of the Holy Hall, holding a suprely exalted position?
However, she quickly realized her mistake; Kailin was her fellow transmigrant who had already passed away.
“The High Priestess has passed away for years now.
What is the aning of wearing her relic at this mont?
I’ve heard that you were close with Young Master Ao Qi; so, he even dares to use the relics of the elders to help you.
That’s truly disrespectful to the departed,” the great elder quickly turned the tables on Bai Ruozhu with a remark much calr than Mrs.
Diao Mo’s.
“Young Master Ao followed the High Priest’s Regret to find and handed this brooch to ,” Bai Ruozhu replied.
“He also invited to visit the hotown of the High Priest.
Little did I expect to be subjected to shaless harassnt along the way by people jealous of my husband, so much so that they repeatedly sought to harm .
If the High Priest’s spirit is watching from heaven, he must be very angry to know of this, right?” Bai Ruozhu retorted.
“Hmph, you keep invoking the High Priest as your support; then accept the divine judgnt,” the great elder said gravely, his composure faltering ever since High Priest Kailin was ntioned.
Bai Ruozhu did not rush to agree; she stealthily glanced at Diao Mo, only to see a look of triumph in Mrs.
Diao Mo’s eyes, as if certain that Bai Ruozhu could not pass the “divine judgnt.” There must be a Ghost here!
Jiang Yichun also looked very worried and subtly shook his head at her.
Just then, the voice of the Holy Guard announced from outside: “His Majesty, the Sovereign of the Nation, has arrived!”
The great elder and Mrs.
Diao Mo’s expressions changed, and Jin Jing regained her composure, looking at Bai Ruozhu with eyes full of resentnt and envy, as if she were on the verge of madness with jealousy.
Bai Ruozhu was secretly astonished; Ao Qi said they were going to call for reinforcents, but she had not expected them to bring the Sovereign himself.
It seems Princess Yingtong truly is highly favored.
In the blink of an eye, the Sovereign entered.
He appeared to be in his forties or fifties, with graying temples, yet he carried an energetic deanor.
His square face gave him an air of assertiveness.
The great elder and others promptly paid their respects; regardless of their high standing in the Holy Hall, they ensured their manners toward the Sovereign were impeccable.
Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun also had to follow suit in paying their respects, only to hear the Sovereign say with a smile, “All rise, no need for such formalities.
I ca out of curiosity upon hearing that the Ao Family had found Kailin’s destined one.”
While speaking, the Sovereign’s gaze fell upon Bai Ruozhu, especially the brooch she wore.
Bai Ruozhu had conjectured about Kailin’s identity; she felt Kailin might be a transmigrant from the West, likely a young lady from the British aristocrats.
Just observing the brooch she left behind and the intricacies of wearing a brooch could reveal that.
“Looking at this temperant, you bear so resemblance to Kailin from those years.
What is your na?” the Sovereign inquired, staring at Bai Ruozhu.
Feeling it was not prudent to reveal her identity, Bai Ruozhu mustered up the courage to say, “My family na on my husband’s side is Bai, and my given na Lin Zhu.”
Since Jiang Yichun used her surna as an alias, she had no choice but to borrow her mother’s surna.
The Sovereign nodded, “Good.
But what is all this about?
Is there perhaps so misunderstanding?”
Before Bai Ruozhu could reply, Mrs.
Diao Mo interjected, “Answering His Majesty, this woman insulted the Holy Hall on her way to Gaochang, uttering blasphemous words.
Many witnesses can testify, yet she denies the accusations and even invokes the late High Priest as a shield.
It’s truly detestable.”
The Sovereign did not look at her but cast a aningful glance at the great elder, saying, “Great Elder, since when have your people beco so undisciplined?”
Mrs.
Diao Mo stiffened, hastily turning to look at the great elder, who frowned and swept a glance at her, saying, “Did His Majesty address you?
How is it that after serving the Holy Maiden for so long, you still fail to understand such basic etiquette?”
The Sovereign’s expression cooled slightly as the great elder’s words seed to chide Diao Mo, but the underlying ssage was a reminder that Diao Mo served closely by the Holy Maiden.
