After Lin Yuelan threw Gashi into the bowl of clear water, the clear water was set ablaze, just like what everyone had seen earlier. It was a blue flame!
In an instant, everyone looked at each other in dismay. After a moment, everyone looked at the High Priest in confusion!
At this moment, the High Priest's forehead was covered in sweat. His face was pale, and his legs were trembling.
His expression betrayed his nervousness and fear.
However, he pretended to be calm in the face of everyone's suspicious and questioning gazes. He then shouted at Lin Yuelan sternly," Hmph, Princess Guguo, what are you doing? Are you doubting my abilities? I'm telling you, my skills are real, not small tricks like you said. I don't know anything about this kind of rock, nor do I know that it will catch fire when it es into contact with water! Therefore, please don't doubt me. Otherwise, I'm very suspicious of your intentions. In fact, you're trying to destroy the diplomatic relations between the Longyan Kingdom and the Aduo Chai Kingdom! Lin Yuelan, what are your intentions?"
The last sentence was obviously a loud shout due to a guilty conscience.
Lin Yuelan laughed coldly when she heard that." Don't change the topic. You're saying such incendiary words to frame me and trying to cover up your actions as a swindler! Hmph, the First Prince of Aduo Chai Kingdom is right here, and he didn't even say that I'm destroying the diplomatic relations between Longyan Kingdom and Aduo Chai Kingdom. You're just a priest. What right do you have to say such things? Could it be that you have more power than the First Prince?"
Lin Yuelan retorted sternly. Then, her sharp eyes swept across the High Priest, and she snorted coldly." Hmph, if you don't admit that you used this rock to set the clear water on fire, then what proof do you have? Do you really have the power to turn a bowl of ordinary clear water into divine water?"
Lin Yuelan believed that this High Priest would never dare to cast his spell in public. However, she wanted to force him to make a move. She wanted to get his evidence to prove that he was a swindler. She wanted to tear apart his true appearance so that she could avenge Xinyue!
Liang Renhui knew that Lin Yuelan was trying to goad him into action, so he warned himself not to fall for it!
Therefore, he forced a smile and said, "How can I use my spells freely? Do you think I'm a clown at the circus? Moreover, the sect has an order that one must not use spells recklessly before random people because of personal greed, so please forgive me, Princess!"
When he asked the princess to forgive him, his head was still raised high. He was very arrogant and had a disdainful attitude.
Little did he know that the panic in his eyes could not be hidden from some of the smart people present, such as Yuwen Longyan, Xiao Jingrui, Xiao Hetian, etc. But the only person who did not notice it was probably the First Prince of Aduo Chai.
When Lin Yuelan heard this, she smiled and said," Oh, I see! " But then she changed the topic and continued," But everyone here is of power. They are the Emperor of the Longyan Country and his ministers, as well as the princes and grandsons of various great countries. There are so many people of high status.
"Moreover, if you ask me, isn't it a great honor to display your magic in front of so many people of high status and prove that you are a great person?"
The High Priest had used some random excuse to reject Lin Yuelan's request, and Lin Yuelan had similarly used the same reason to refute the High Priest.
This was a meeting of friendship and diplomatic relations between various countries. No one here had a lower status than Liang Renhui, the high priest.
Therefore, the High Priest's excuse of not being able to cast spells in front of random people was pletely useless.
When Liang Renhui heard that, his arrogant head immediately turned to glare at Lin Yuelan.
He gritted his teeth and said," Princess Guguo, do you have to force me to do this?"
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said," High Priest, you're wrong. This princess did not force you! It's just that this princess is very curious about your spell!" Then, she became very curious and asked," High Priest, you really know magic, right?"
