She bit her lip, and was going to say something more.
When she heard a deep and low, apathetic voice transmit to her ears, lazy, yet extremely s.e.xy. “If you don’t trust Eunuch Sun’s eyes, then how about this Highness?”
Baili Jia Jue emerged from the dark shadows, his distinctive body set of under the fur cloak appeared exceptionally handsome, with dense eyebrows and eyelashes, deep dark eyes, imposing presence, and ice-coldness that terrified others.
Chen Wen Wan trembled all over, her legs became limp and wanted to kneel on the ground!
Upon seeing this, Retired Emperor frowned, his expression also immediately became cold. “Bring the thing here.”
“Yes. Eunuch Sun lifted up both hands and presented that incense wood to him. When he saw the words engraved on there, the light in Retired Emperor’s eyes flashed then turned towards Wei Wei’s direction. “This is…”
Wei Wei responded with a faintly smiling expression. “Wei Wei said previously that I admired Retired Emperor. This time, there’s been a big drought and you personally journeyed up the mountain to pray for blessings, a heart of worry for the country, worry for its people, filled Wei Wei with admiration. This commoner’s strength is limited, there’s not much I can do. I only heard that the incense wood inside Hidden Spirit Temple was very effective in answering prayers, so I asked the little master to bring me to that courtyard in order to beg for a piece.”
The novice monk stood by Wei Wei’s side, and furiously nodded his head, after reciting ‘amitabha’ he then responded. “On the way, this benefactor endured one hundred and ninety stair steps and kowtowed a total of nine hundred and ninety times. Such sincerity will certainly gain Buddha’s favor.”
As he held the incense wood in his hand, Retired Emperor only felt like he’d been slapped and was silent for a moment before he turned to take a look at Wei Wei. For the first time, the always unfl.u.s.tered eyes expressed an apology. “Good child, you’re truly considerate.”
Having heard that, Helian Jiao Er’s complexion became exceptionally unsightly. She suddenly clenched her hands firmly, then slowly loosened them. She suddenly realized that whether it was her, Little Lian, or Chen Wen Wan, they’ve all been dealt with by Wei Wei!
As early as prior to entering the temple, Wei Wei already foresaw everything and kept her emotions to herself. She wasn’t fl.u.s.tered, and instead, was waiting for them to walk right into her trap!
At this time, Helian Jiao Er finally was extremely regretful. This girl before her truly wasn’t one bit like how she used to be, not merely in regards to martial qi, but also in her shrewdness!
Originally, she wanted to frame her before Retired Emperor, to have her thoroughly provoke Retired Emperor, so that not a single good day will be left for her, yet now, she unintentionally helped that girl set up a good road!
After this matter, Retired Emperor would certainly feel guilty towards Wei Wei, and in the future, he might even start taking care of her.
Thinking of this, Helian Jiao Er’s heart was filled with hate as she stiffly bit through the flesh inside her mouth, a mouthful of blood, which she had no choice but to swallow!
Wei Wei watched her, and smiled lightly. “Right now, everything has confirmed that I’m innocent. I actually have something to ask Younger Sister and Miss Chen. I’m clearly carrying a piece of incense wood. Why did the two of you insist that it’s witch wood before even taking a look at it? What is the real reason for this?”
Chen Wen Wan’s pale lips simply couldn’t utter a single word.
