Chapter 167: The Three Sects Gather
With a creak, a blinding light spilled through the crack in the door and shone on the table full of hearty breakfasts, crispy pancakes, jam-coated toasts, and fruit salads...... Even if Yuna had a hundred mouths, she couldn't eat them all under Mai Xiaomo's polite hospitality.
What's more, her mood has not recovered from the throbbing and hesitation of last night, and she doesn't want to eat too much, after drinking half a cup of coffee, Youna finally mustered up the courage to tell Mai Xiaomo that she decided to testify for Ling Wenxuan in court at the Sanjiao trial.
"Don't be stupid! you're going in vain. Ji Yangke opened the newspaper in his hand, carefully read the news of the Heavenly Liberation Sect's Buddha Buddha's ascension to the altar in the Dragon Pavilion, and said without raising his head, "If your companion is indeed the murderer of a series of murders related to the Seven Artifacts, there is only a dead end waiting for him, even if it is not, the people of the three major religions and the four major families will not let him go, just because the Seven Artifacts can win the world." โ
"I'll get the best lawyer in town for him, and I'll try to gather some evidence in Father Priest's favor. โ
"In the face of a fair and objective law, any justification for a lie pales in comparison. โ
"Brother-in-law, if you don't help, then I'll figure it out myself. Yuna stood up and pressed her hands against the table, as if she had made up her mind.
"What are you going to do, I don't care!" Ji Yangke threw the folded newspaper aside and said angrily, "But have you ever considered your sister?
"Enough, husband, what you said is not right, at least in terms of affection, I think my sister is right. Mai Xiaomo shook Ji Yangke's shoulder and persuaded, "Isn't the Snow Dove Restaurant recruiting waitresses recently? I think she can use this to infiltrate the restaurant so that she can find out the relevant information of the trial of the three religions from the mouths of the three major religious figures who have been frequenting this place recently." โ
"Okay, but you have to promise me that you won't do anything more than eavesdropping. Ji Yangke put down his hands and reluctantly made a compromise.
Yuna nodded happily, went back to her room and changed into a maid outfit suitable for working in a restaurant, and went to the snow dove restaurant with Ji Yangke. As soon as he arrived at his destination, Ji Yangke asked Youna to wait outside the store, and he came to the bar to discuss with the store manager Cao Yintian to let Youna work as a temporary worker here.
At first, Cao Yintian pretended to be unmoved, until his gaze fell on Youna outside the glass door, and the corners of his originally straight mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc.
In the next scene, Ji Yangke told the store manager Yuna the news of agreeing, which made her even more surprised by the store manager, because at the moment when Cao Yintian turned around and went back to the office to pass by her, she clearly felt a gust of cold wind blowing across her face, and the tables and chairs seemed to have shifted under the powerful spiritual pressure, revealing the black trouser legs of a waiter.
The man wore a trick-trick hat and a mysterious smile on his face: "You are Shen Fangli, I'm Jia Chao, your old alumnus." โ
"Oh, is that so?" Yuna found that once she accepted this setting, her IQ dropped a lot in an instant.
"And ...... I...... Your old alumnus Peng Honggui. โ
A ghostly voice sounded behind her, and she turned her head sharply in fright, only to notice the stupid hair on the man's head swaying in the wind: "So you're here!"
"yes...... It's always ......" Peng Honggui pulled the mop and swept across the floor under his feet with an expression of wanting to cry without tears.
The wall clock on the wall pointed to 9 o'clock at noon, the snow dove restaurant opened as usual, Ji Yangke and the chefs went back to the kitchen to prepare for the meal, and the other waiters applauded for two minutes under the manager's slogan, which not only improved the enthusiasm for daily work, but also volatilized sweat and warmed the palms of the hands, so that every waiter would not slip and break the pots and pans due to cold hands when working.
There is a reason why the snow dove restaurant has a good reputation in Panhu City, there are many varieties of dishes here, delicious and delicious, good staff treatment ensures high-quality service quality, and the business is very hot every day, and it is also the first choice for dignitaries from all over the world to visit Panhu City for dining.
Two of the brown-skinned Geruni sat in window seats, the higher one wearing a crown of stars and moons, and the other with a familiar tattoo on his face.
This is a sign of God's gift, and people who teach it will have this kind of tattoo on their bodies, implying the original intention of practicing in order to repay the grace of the gods.
Even the act of the two of them carrying a pot and pouring tea deeply disturbed Yuna, and Lopelรฉ still remembered the many crimes committed by the Miracle Ring in the name of the Heaven-Sent Sect in the village of Grancia, and she guessed that the two must have wanted to use the name of the Three Sects Trial to reclaim the Miracle Ring that belonged to the Heaven-Sent Sect.
Of course, I'm afraid she is not the only one who thinks so, as soon as Pei Qiu, a disciple of the Heavenly Liberation Sect, came to the door, he secretly performed the fire technique and burned the chopsticks in the hand of the person with the scars of heaven engraved on his face.
As soon as she saw that it was Pei Qiu and his uncle Daoqing, Youna immediately hid under the bar to avoid the other party recognizing her.
"Pei Qiu, what do you mean by this? In front of my Heavenly Gift Sect Lord Alayi, you must not be presumptuous!" the man slammed the table and got up and shouted.
"Just a reminder to some people who are uneasy and kind, the seven artifacts should be kept by our three major religions, and if anyone dares to swallow any of them privately, I will let him taste the power of relieving his heart. Pei Qiu said, holding the scabbard of the Heavenly Liberation Sword horizontally in his hand.
"I originally thought that the followers of your religion were all highly respected cultivators, but I didn't expect that the treasures of the dignified religion would be used as a weapon to shamelessly coerce others. Ala'i called out "Fateava" and looked at Daoqing with a defiant look.
"The Holy Lord's words are serious, the Heavenly Liberation Sword cannot kill people with a clear conscience, so for some people, it is not sharp. Daoqing touched his beard, turned his hand and walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor, "If you and I have nothing to say, I won't bother you. โ
After seeing Daoqing and Pei Qiu enter the first box, Youna hurriedly called Jia Chao and Peng Honggui to her side, and asked them to entertain the guests upstairs and downstairs respectively, trying to eavesdrop on the information of the trial of the Three Sects, on the contrary, she was not very easy to interfere.
Just as she hesitated with her plate in hand, two more women in light blue hymn robes walked outside the door, one wearing a choir hat embroidered with blue and white and a pair of dark blue top shoes, the other wearing a pale pink veil, a hymn bracelet in her hand, and plain over-the-knee socks with a cross pattern printed on her legs.
She only glanced at it and turned her face away in surprise, just because one of them was the guard nun Gui Xun'er, and the other could tell from the light eye makeup exposed outside the veil that it was Mu Bingyue, the saint of the Tianyao Sect. After the two of them entered the third box upstairs, she continued to pour the remaining half of the tea for the guests, her mind full of incomprehensible questions.
The day before the celebration of the victory of the Jialuo Nation, didn't Ling Wenxuan let Gui Xun'er drive the "Tianluan" spaceship back to Wanyang? Why did it take so long for the Holy Maiden of the Tianyao Sect to get the news? If Mu Bingyue had come earlier, maybe he could have stopped the persecution of the priest by the other two major religious sects.
In order to find out the truth, Yuna decided to eavesdrop on the conversation between Gui Xun'er and Mu Bingyue herself, she stopped a waitress who was about to deliver food upstairs, came to the box set by the two, knelt on the ground with her legs, put her ears close to the crack in the door, and listened carefully to the movement inside.
Gui Xun'er's voice was rational and excited, while Mu Bingyue's answer was flat and boring.
"Your Excellency, before discussing how to save the priest, there is one thing you must answer me honestly. โ
"Say it!"
"Is the Seven Artifact Probe the Heavenly Machine?"
"Why do you think that?"
"At first, I didn't pay attention to this matter, until I checked the leyline enchantment, only to find that the Heavenly Machine Box was gone, the high priest who took care of the enchantment said that it was the Holy Maiden, you took away the Heavenly Machine Box, and then I learned through the mana device book that it was impossible for the detector to detect the divine power on the seven artifacts, what you told us was pseudoscience, and the only thing that the Seven Artifact Detector really worked was the staff of fate hidden in Yuna's body, and I haven't seen the priest use that thing a few times since then. โ
"Yes, you're right, what I gave Ling Wenxuan is the Heavenly Machine Box, there is a mechanism hidden on the Seven Artifact Detector, as long as you press that button, the original appearance of this thing will be revealed. โ
"Holy Maiden, it would be better if you just told the priest no!"
"If Ling Wenxuan can't even find the ancient relics that can hold all things, then the position of this parade priest should also be replaced. โ
"The second thing, how much do you know about the Hidden Realm and the Gate of Yellow Springs?"
"For hundreds of years, my sect has been studying the History of the Creation of God, but unfortunately no one has been able to decipher the mysteries of it. โ
"One last thing, guess who is hiding behind the door?"
With that, Rosewood pulled the wooden door open, causing the unbalanced Yuna to fall to the ground.
"Cortana, why are you?" said Gui Xun'er and Mu Bingyue in unison.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have eavesdropped on your conversation. Yuna touched her head apologetically, brought the plate to the table for two, and then told her about her previous experience.
"In this way, you and we have the same goal!" "Gui Xun'er helped Mu Bingyue fill the tea and said with a smile, "That is the case, can you accompany me to the Hidden Pavilion later, I have a letter to hand over to Mo Yi, the leader of the Scarlet Moon Adventure Guild." โ
At this time, Youna completely ignored Ji Yangke's advice, she thought that the Hidden Pavilion was not far from here anyway, and it wouldn't take long to go back and forth, and then she would explain it to her brother-in-law well, and by the way, she would summarize the information that Jia Chao and Peng Honggui had heard, which would help her come up with a foolproof plan to deal with the trial of the Three Sects.
There are still many important things waiting for Mu Bingyue to deal with in the sect, so it is inconvenient for her to walk with Gui Xun'er and Youna, so she has to watch the two leave.
"By the way, Holy Maiden, we have met your sister in the country of Garo, and she ......" Rosewood bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment, unable to continue.
"She still hates me as much as she used to, right?" Mu Bingyue's words had a faint kind of grievance that made people tremble.
After the two left, this grievance became more and more intense, and she couldn't help but remove her veil and clutch her chest with a sad face.
A man dressed in the yellow and white robe of the Tianyao Sect walked behind Mu Bingyue and let out a deep voice.
"When you hear your sister's news, do you regret your decision?"
"Your Excellency the Pope, although I used to be a member of the Zhao family, I am now loyal to the Holy Sect. โ
"It's good to understand, it's not in vain that I have worked hard for you, you have memorized it for me, the seven artifacts are of great significance to my sect, if Ling Wenxuan has any mistakes, I will ask for you." โ
While the man was looking up to the sky and pondering, the Heavenly Gift Sect Lord Ala'i and the envoy from Fatava also came to the front of the store.
Holy Lord Ala'i sighed softly: "It seems that Tianyao Sect Pope Zhai Tianfu is also here for the Seven Divine Weapons, since we don't want the Seven Divine Artifacts to fall into the hands of the four major families, why can't we put aside the past grievances and unite temporarily?"
"You said it was 'temporary', and you must be waiting for the opportunity to turn your face and deny people, but the three major religions must not continue to fight among themselves. Daoqing pushed open the door of the store and called Pei Qiu, "It depends on the meaning of the Tianyao Sect, and I hope that you will not favor the priests of your sect at that time." โ
"If Ling Wenxuan's crime is established, my sect will naturally punish it severely, but if some treacherous villains take advantage of this to attack our sect, don't blame me Zhai Tianfu for being ruthless. โ
"Seeing the Pope today, I understand the reason why your religion has developed into the largest religion in the world in the past hundred years, but ......" Thinking of the process of Tianyao Sect gradually replacing Tianshi Sect as the state religion of the Gara Kingdom, Daoqing gradually hated, but he was afraid of affecting the alliance between the three major religions, so he couldn't help but continue.
"Uncle Shi, what are you going to do with those two waitresses who eavesdropped on us?"
"Let them go, even if Yuna decides to testify on the priest's behalf, she won't be able to change anything, not to mention that she has no evidence in her hands at all. โ
As soon as Dao Qing finished speaking, the people of the other two major religions had long since disappeared.
