620 Slap in the Face, Two Gu Meet (2)
The State Preceptor did not dare to reply. He looked surprised, as if he had been scared silly by the scene in front of him. Only he understood that he was brewing how to cover up his lie.
Unfortunately, it was not his decision this time.
Five Gu Elders from the Gu Hall came today. Among them, Gu Elder Sun was the most experienced. He was the grand-disciple of Gu Elder Kong. At a young age, he had become the number one Great Gu Master in Nanzhao. The only thing he was inferior to Gu Elder Meng was that his attainments in Gu techniques had stopped at the sixty-feet stage. However, in terms of overall strength, he was much more comprehensive than Gu Elder Meng.
He said to the Emperor, “It looks like a snow toad.” But he was also worried that he had seen it wrongly. After all, the Little Princess had said that it was a holy artifact. If he wasn’t wrong, then the Little Princess had used a Gu to bluff her way through. This was no small matter. He turned to look at the State Preceptor and his companions. “What do you think? Did you see it clearly just now?”
The few of them had been paying attention to the Little Princess’s movements, so how could they not see it clearly? Other than a Gu Elder Song who was busy looking at the exploding Gu bead and missed that scene, the others did not even blink from the beginning to the end.
Gu Elder Liang whispered, “I think it looks like a snow toad too.”
Gu Elder Zhou and Gu Elder Zhuge nodded. They had all seen the holy artifact and portraits and sculptures of the Gu Queen. It was very easy for ordinary people to mistake them, but it was very difficult for them to see wrongly.
“This is strange. Why is it a snow toad? Didn’t she say… it’s a holy artifact?” Gu Elder Song muttered. He was the only one who didn’t see the Gu Queen just now, but since everyone said so, it must be true.
Nangong Yan was anxious. State Preceptor! Say something!
The State Preceptor closed his eyes. He wanted to say something, but so many eyes had seen it. If he continued to quibble that it was the holy artifact, it would not be convincing enough. Instead, it would expose his relationship with the Princess Manor.
“What did you Elders say just now? Isn’t that a holy artifact?”
The person who spoke was Helian Beiming, who was below the altar. He was closer than the commoners. Although he could not see the little thing on the altar clearly, he could still hear this group of people clearly.
He sat in the wheelchair and raised his voice, looking like he was watching a good show. “Princess, please explain why your holy artifact became a snow toad. You’re the owner of the holy artifact. Don’t tell me that you’ve made a mistake.”
Of course, Nangong Yan could not say that she had recognized wrongly. Who would mistake their Gu worm? But if she didn’t, how did all of this happen? Should she admit that she had committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor again?
Nangong Yan broke out in cold sweat.
Helian Beiming’s voice was not soft, and the commoners in the front row heard it.
What did the General say? That little thing just now was not the holy artifact, but a snow toad? The Princess actually used the snow toad to disguise the holy artifact? No wonder the Gu God would appear and make the snow toad abandon her. She was simply a liar!
To do such a thing on the holy altar, not only did she deceive the commoners, but she also blasphemed the gods!
“Get down!” Someone shouted, and the commoners completely exploded.
“That’s right! Get down!”
“Big liar! Get down!”
Smack!
A rotten egg hit Nangong Yan’s face. The disgusting smell filled the tip of her nose. Her stomach churned and she almost vomited on the spot.
“I’m not a liar!” She held back her disgust. “That’s the holy artifact! Don’t listen to their nonsense!”
The Gu Queen had long disappeared. As long as she refused to admit it, no one could do anything to her!
A commoner questioned, “Why would the Gu Elders spout nonsense?”
Nangong Yan said anxiously, “They… they’re with the Helian family! The little masters of the Helian family are the seventy-feet Gu Elders of the Gu Hall!”
Everyone fell silent.
What did this woman say? Those genius little Gu Elders were the little masters of the Helian family?
The Gu Elders were stunned!
They had always wanted to ask about Little Gu Elder’s background, but the Little Gu Elders kept their mouths shut. They could not curry favor with them even if they wanted to, but it turned out that they were from the Helian family.
Nangong Yan struck while the iron was hot and said, “They’re together! The Gu Hall has long joined the Helian family! That’s why they’re speaking up for the Helian family! Also, I suspect that they did something to force the holy artifact away from my hands! Only the Gu Hall has such ability, right?”
The people from the Gu Hall were stunned.
They didn’t do anything. How did it become them forcing the holy artifact away?
