Chapter 91: Unfaithful Man
Jiang Yang choked up and said, "The High Priest doesn't know this, but Chong'an and I originally met in the Priest's Hall of the God of Light."
"At that time, we were both considered talented candidates for priesthood within the Priest Hall. We grew up together as childhood sweethearts and had a very close relationship."
"When we grew up, he and I fell in love and had a loving time together. After we got married, we gave birth to Chongming."
"Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. I needed to recuperate after giving birth to Chongming, and I also needed to raise the young Chongming, so I haven't been to the Priest's Hall to meditate for a long time."
"But just at this time, the priest's temple we were staying in before had a new young and beautiful believer."
As Jiang Yang spoke, he looked at Chong Li resentfully with his tearful eyes.
"He was responsible for singing praises of our god to that believer, but after a while, he developed other thoughts and became increasingly cold towards me..."
"I was so angry that I ran away from home with Chongming, thinking of starting a new life somewhere else."
"I was the one who sent him a message this time, saying I wanted to divorce this unfaithful man."
As she spoke, Jiang Yang burst into tears, covering her mouth with one hand and lowering her head, fearing that if she raised her head the high priest would see her face without a single tear.
The high priest had never expected that behind the seemingly loving couple there was such a sad story, and he had never expected that the seemingly upright Chong Li was actually such a heartless man.
He did not mention the matter of accepting Chongli into the priest's temple, but just comforted Jiang Yang that after all the hardships, there would be good things, and the future would definitely get better and better.
Later on, the high priest said indignantly, "I wonder which priest temple of the God of Light he served in before?"
"If you do something so immoral, you cannot continue to serve as a priest, no matter how talented you are."
"You didn't report him before, perhaps for many reasons, or perhaps because you were afraid he would retaliate against you. But I'm not afraid of him. Tell me the priesthood where he works, and I'll seek justice for you."
"Don't worry, I will never ask him to associate this report with you."
The high priest stared at Chongli with unfriendly eyes, and Jiang Yang felt that if he was not concerned about the bad influence of people coming and going in the priest's hall, the high priest would rush up and beat Chongli in the next second.
I don't know if Chongli, with his small body, can defeat the high priest without using magic. After all, the high priest's body looks well-trained, as can be seen from the thick calluses on his hands.
The high priest was unaware of Jiang Yang's concerns and announced, "If the report is true, I will certainly have a thousand ways to ensure that he never appears before you and your son again!"
Jiang Yang was shocked. She just wanted to take a small revenge on Chong Li, but she didn't want Chong Li to be accidentally kidnapped while walking on the street one day...
She declined politely, "That's not necessary. After all, he and I have been husband and wife for several years, and I treat him..."
Jiang Yang choked up and didn't finish her words, but she thought the high priest should understand the meaning of her words.
The high priest took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Yang with a complicated look and a hint of anger, and said nothing more.
The group walked the entire journey in an awkward and silent atmosphere, until the high priest bid farewell to Jiang Yang in front of the gate of the priest's hall and left their sight, and then Chongming burst into laughter.
Jiang Yang walked in front with an expressionless face, Chongming followed beside her, and Chongli fell behind her on the other side, walking slowly.
"Miss Jiang really has countless stories to tell, but with just a few words, I've become a fickle man?"
Jiang Yang didn't feel guilty at all. After all, this was something Chong Li had forced upon her from the very beginning.
Chongli wanted to protect him from the disaster himself, but how could he do that without paying a price?
Jiang Yang said without looking away, "It's just a damage to my reputation. Compared to continuing to be harassed by the people from the Temple of the God of Light Priests and then having my identity discovered, this outcome should be considered good, right?"
Chongli nodded with a smile on his face, and seemed to agree with Jiang Yang's statement.
"What Miss Jiang said makes sense, but I wonder if Miss Jiang can give me a better identity next time?"
"Compared to cheating men, I think I am still very loyal and devoted by nature."
Jiang Yang stopped and looked at Chong Li, scanning him from head to toe, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded.
"That makes sense. You are indeed suitable for the role of an infatuated lover. You want a loyal role, right? I can satisfy you."
The smile on Chongli's lips froze, and he always felt as if he had fallen into a trap he had dug for himself.
He added, "Of course, it would be even better if the protagonist of Miss Jiang's story didn't use me as the prototype."
Jiang Yang walked in front of him and waved his hand without looking back, "It's too late, I have already thought of the specific image, I will satisfy you tonight!"
Chong Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and could already imagine how Jiang Yang would arrange him in the live broadcast tonight.
But when he actually watched the live broadcast, he realized that he had not thought enough.
That night, the live broadcast room of [静影沉璧] changed the perspective of the story again.
......
When I was born, Heaven told me: "Your name is Chongli, and your duty is to protect."
Heaven always likes to play the role of a riddler, telling me to protect something but never telling me what to protect.
Later, I watched as Heaven created the other twelve of my kind one after another, and I thought that I had to protect them.
But their strength is actually not weaker than mine, they don’t need my protection.
Later, Heaven created the celestial beings, and I thought I would protect them.
However, the celestial beings only existed for a few short decades before the heavens destroyed them all.
For a time, I couldn't find the meaning of my duties, but fortunately, God soon created a new species - human beings.
I think I've found something to protect.
