Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Saintess of the Church of Light VS Ambitious Maid (Part 6) Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Saintess of the Church of Light VS Ambitious Maid (Part 6) Dark Power?
Gu Shengyin’s expression turned cold.
Who didn’t know that the divinities of Light detested the existence of Dark Power?
All living beings on the continent similarly loathed the darkness.
Heidi’s move was truly… ruthless and vicious!
She sneered and asked, “System, is the Memory Stone ready? Can it find any evidence?”
The system shook its head: “No evidence.”
“However, as long as the host doesn’t wear the Crystal Crown, I can expel the Dark Power from your body, leaving only the pure Light.”
If she truly wanted to misunderstand her own, then she would present the evidence at that time.
While they were speaking, the envoy sent by the Church to welcome the Saintess also arrived.
The Pope held in his hands the Scepter that symbolized the status and glory of the Saintess, and he handed it over to Gu Shengyin.
Everyone maintained their silence, staring unblinkingly at this historic moment. Master painters and sculptors firmly etched this scene into their minds, a scene that was bound to be immortalized in the annals of history, to be passed down through the ages.
“My child,” the Pope looked at Gu Shengyin gently, “I bestow upon you this Scepter representing Light and holiness of the Saintess, hoping you will adhere to the virtues of mercy, kindness, and the splendid morality of Light, bringing gospel to the people of this continent.”
Gu Shengyin bowed her head: “I will, Your Holiness.”
The Pope handed over the Scepter to Gu Shengyin with both hands.
Gu Shengyin reached out her hand.
As soon as she accepted the Scepter symbolizing authority, she would truly become the unique and noble Saintess of the Light Temple.
Just as her hand touched the Scepter—
“Wait!” a sharp female voice called out, interrupting the ceremony.
The Pope looked over, surprised, and saw it was Heidi again: “Heidi, the consecration ceremony of the Saintess is sacred, why are you shouting again?”
The nobles and clergy present all looked at the woman standing behind the Saintess.
Being observed by so many people for the first time, Heidi couldn’t help feeling a bit flustered.
She composed herself before speaking: “Your Holiness, my interruption is because, the Saintess, she has a problem!”
A murmur rippled through the crowd.
What did she mean by that?
The Pope’s face darkened: “Heidi, slandering the Saintess is a grave sin! Do you realize that?”
But she was not resigned!
And, she was confident, wasn’t she?
Heidi said softly: “I know, but I truly, I sensed an aura of Dark Power on the Saintess.”
“Absurd!” the Pope shouted angrily, “With so many of us present, how come we didn’t sense it?”
She pulled out a silver horn from her sleeve and raised it high: “This is a Holy Artifact passed down in my family, especially sensitive to Dark Power. Look.”
Indeed, a section of the little silver horn had turned black.
The Pope’s face changed dramatically, and he looked at Gu Shengyin.
Gu Shengyin’s expression remained calm, which reassured him.
He asked, “Heatherv, are you willing to undergo a test?”
Gu Shengyin glanced at Heidi and nodded: “I am naturally willing.”
The Pope nodded, and was about to speak when Gu Shengyin raised her hand and removed the crown from her head: “However, before proving my innocence, I am not worthy to wear this holy Crystal Crown.”
Heidi’s expression stiffened; Gu Shengyin had already handed the crown to her, saying with a smile: “Please keep it safe for me, Heidi.”
