Chapter 197

Ye Jingyue looked at the crazy look of the high priest, her eyes deep.

"To put it bluntly, you don't believe him. So, how can you talk about deception?"

The high priest's face twisted in an instant.

"It's because I believe in him too much that I keep waiting. I waited until the end of human lifespan, but I didn't wait for his arrival! He lied to me!"

Ye Jingyue pulled the corner of his mouth.

"You actually waited until the end of human lifespan, haha!"

Gu Jingchen looked at Ye Jingyue in surprise.

Ye Jingyue seemed to know everything.

He even knew what happened to this mermaid.

Too amazing!

Ye Jingyue understood the surprise in Gu Jingchen's eyes and sighed in his heart.

[How do I know what happened to this mermaid?]

[The key is that she was so crazy just now, shouting at the top of her lungs. She looked like a love-brained, obsessive lunatic. A simple explosion would have revealed it all!]

Gu Jingchen:...

Okay!

This is also very powerful.

The high priest looked at Ye Jingyue viciously.

"He asked me to wait! What have I done wrong!"

Ye Jingyue was helpless.

"He asked you to wait, and asked you to wait until the end of human lifespan."

The high priest choked.

A trace of confusion flashed across that beautiful face.

"He...he said that he would come back to me next spring and stay with me forever."

Ye Jingyue nodded.

"So, you wait until next spring, and if he doesn't come, you go find him! Find a reason! Why do you have to wait until the end of human lifespan?"

[It's really desperate!]

[If I have made an appointment with someone, and this person hasn't come after a certain period of time, and he is very important to me, I will definitely go find him!]

[Such a simple truth, the mermaid doesn't understand]

Gu Jingchen said that Ye Jingyue was right.

If it was him, he would also go find him.

What if...

What if something unexpected happened

? Looking at the mermaid's current state, there must have been an accident.

The high priest looked frightened.

"Even if I came late, he still let me down. Not long after he returned to the imperial city, he got married and had children, and forgot our agreement! I hate it! I waited for him for a hundred years, and he treated me like this!"

Ye Jingyue rolled her eyes in her heart.

[A hundred years! That person has long been dead!]

[Why don't you wait until his bones melt before coming!]

Ye Jingyue looked at her and said softly: "I think the truth is not what you think. You are so beautiful and a mermaid. If a man falls in love with you, there will be no consequences for him, both in public and in private." There

are two kinds of men.

One is ambitious.

The other is content.

Assuming he is content, if he really falls in love with a mermaid, he will definitely stay with her forever.

He will not go back.

And the ambitious ones will go back even more.

Apart from other things, mermaids are full of treasures.

An ambitious man, who finally gets the heart of a mermaid, will of course lead the army back to kill her, and then plunder the mermaid for his own use!

No matter what the situation is, he will not not go back.

Ye Jingyue thought all these in her heart.

So Gu Jingchen said: "I am a man, I understand men best. If I like you, I will naturally overcome all difficulties and go back to find you. If I don't like you, but I have done everything possible to get your heart, then I will use this point to go back to find you, and then imprison you mermaids and let you be used by me."

Ye Jingyue's eyes lit up.

[My cousin is very sensible!]

Ye Jingyue told the high priest:

"So, no matter what, he will go back to find you. As for not going back to find you... there must be an accident."

The high priest's face was scarlet. She felt that she was deceived, so she didn't listen to Ye Jingyue's explanation at all.

"But this is just what you said, there is no evidence. It has been hundreds of years. Of course, what you say is what it is!"

Ye Jingyue hurriedly said: "I have evidence! I can help you find the truth of the matter!"

Hearing this, the high priest looked at her coldly.

"Besides him, who else can know the truth at that time? You look young, it is impossible for you to know the whole story at that time. You just want to deceive me!"

Ye Jingyue explained: "I really don't know the truth of the matter at that time. Just like you said, I can't prove it."

The high priest's eyes were red in an instant.

"Then you can die!"

Ye Jingyue quickly stretched out her hand to stop her, "I can't, but the book of destiny can! The book of destiny can present a person's life. I can take you to observe his life and find the truth!"

"What did you say?" The high priest sneered, "He is indeed from the royal family of Dongli Kingdom, but he is dead and you can't find him."

"I can!"

Ye Jingyue's voice was firm.

"As long as you go to the bookstore with me, I can take you to find the truth."

The high priest was silent.

Perhaps this matter has always been a thorn in her heart, so now she heard Ye Jingyue say that she could find the truth of the matter.

She wanted to give Ye Jingyue a chance.

She took out a blue pill.

"This is mermaid poison. If you eat it and you can't give me the truth, you will die of intestinal perforation and stomach rot in half a year!"

Ye Jingyue took it and ate it without hesitation.

Gu Jingchen wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Gu Jingchen was really anxious.

If Ye Jingyue still had the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill, she would have eaten the poison.

But Ye Jingyue had used up all three Nine-Turn Resurrection Pills!

What if she didn't find the truth for the mermaid

? Or what if the mermaid went crazy and didn't give her the antidote? How

could she take such a risk?

Ye Jingyue sensed Gu Jingchen's worry and winked at him.

"Don't worry, cousin."

[I have a way to cure the mermaid's poison!]

[Besides, since they made a deal with me, the one who is really in trouble is the mermaid, not me!]

Gu Jingchen: ...

Both parties reached an agreement, and the mermaid directly sent them out of the water safely.

Murong Mingzhu sat on the ground with lifeless eyes, tears streaming down her face.

Ye Jingyue died.

He died to save her.

She will feel guilty for the rest of her life. She

will never be able to sleep peacefully.

Ye Jingyue came out of the water and saw Murong Mingzhu's distraught and tearful look.

She smiled.

"Mingzhu, I'm fine."

Murong Mingzhu was sad!

Suddenly hearing Ye Jingyue's voice, she raised her head.

Then she saw Ye Jingyue and Gu Jingchen in the water column, looking at her with a smile.

Murong Mingzhu's pupils widened and widened again.

"You...are you dead and come to find me?"

Ye Jingyue rolled her eyes.

Then she jumped out of the water column.

She pinched Murong Mingzhu's face.

"Does it hurt?"

Her strength was quite strong.

So Murong Mingzhu answered sincerely: "It hurts."

Then the next second Murong Mingzhu became excited.

"It hurts, so you are not dead"
