Soon, a wizard with feathers stuck in his hair hurried into the hall.
The moment the wizard saw Su Yujiao, his eyes widened in shock, and he felt an irresistible urge to bow down.
He could feel the rich spiritual light emanating from her!
What's going on? Why is the holy light on her body even more intense and richer than that of the saintess?
"Your Highness, who is this gentleman?"
Nan Sheng did not answer the wizard's question if she showed him the Dragon-Snake Jade.
"Wizard, could this be the legendary Dragon-Snake Jade?"
The wizard was taken aback, then solemnly accepted the Dragon-Snake Jade with both hands and examined it carefully.
In fact, he had never seen the legendary Dragon-Snake Jade; he had only heard about it from the previous generation of wizards.
"Holy Maiden, may I borrow a drop of your blood?"
"Legend has it that the blood of the Holy Maiden can activate the Spirit Serpent Jade. The moment the Spirit Serpent Jade is activated, holy light is abundant and golden light shines brightly."
Chen Yunniang said confidently, "Of course."
"Xiaohe, go get the dagger."
"yes."
She had hidden Su Yujiao's blood in a specially made dagger beforehand; this was something she had prepared long ago.
Because she knew this day would come sooner or later, she naturally had to prepare in advance.
After all, she naturally had to act convincingly when drawing blood in front of everyone.
Xiao He handed over a specially made dagger, and Chen Yunniang applied a little force, causing a drop of dark red blood to appear on her fingertip.
Then he handed the dagger to Xiaohe and gestured for her to leave.
"Wait a minute," Su Yujiao suddenly said.
Xiaohe glanced at her nervously, and everyone else was looking at her too.
"Leave the dagger behind; I might need it later."
Xiaohe feigned composure: "You can't use the Saintess's dagger. It's stained with the Saintess's blood. If you use it later, who can say for sure whether it's the Saintess's blood or yours that opens the Dragon Serpent Jade?"
"If you want to use it, I will go and get you a new one."
Su Yujiao stared at Xiao He with a half-smile, making Xiao He's heart pound.
"Your Highness, this little maid is so concerned about that dagger. Could it be that the dagger holds a hidden secret?"
Nan Sheng narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a commanding tone, "Bring me the dagger."
Xiaohe was clearly flustered and subconsciously glanced at Chen Yunniang; everyone present noticed her guilty look.
Chen Yunniang cursed her inwardly as an idiot. She then walked up to Xiaohe, snatched the dagger inlaid with rubies and emeralds, and handed it to Nansheng.
Nan Sheng examined the dagger and found nothing wrong with it; it was just an ordinary dagger.
He wiped the blood off and casually placed it next to his teacup.
Chen Yunniang couldn't focus too much on the dagger, otherwise it would seem like she was trying to hide something.
"Hmph, you're just good at playing tricks."
"I, the Holy Maiden, will expose your lies now."
She walked to the wizard's side and, following his instructions, dripped blood onto the eyes of the Pisces jade pendant, then quietly waited for a miracle to happen.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to the dragon-snake jade in the wizard's hand.
As a result, the jade did not react at all; instead, it became stained with blood and looked even uglier.
Chen Yunniang's heart skipped a beat. How could this be?
Wasn't it said that Su Yujiao's blood could unlock the Dragon-Snake Jade?
Why is there no response?
What exactly went wrong?
Is the blood outdated and no longer fresh?
Or is there something wrong with this piece of jade?
Or perhaps, Su Yujiao wasn't a saint at all?
Nan Sheng's face was grim, and the wizard looked at her strangely, as if he couldn't understand it.
"Wizard, what's going on?"
The wizard looked puzzled: "It shouldn't be like this, why is there no reaction?"
Nan Sheng suddenly pointed at Su Yujiao, still in a commanding tone: "You try."
Chen Yunniang panicked. She couldn't let her try it. If Su Yujiao's blood dripped onto it and shone with golden light, she would be doomed.
"This jade is fake, you bastard... Where did you hide the real dragon and snake jade?"
No one knows whether the jade is real or fake. As long as it is proven that the jade is fake, no one will know that she is an imposter saint.
Anyway, she couldn't let Su Yujiao bleed in public; she dared not gamble!
“Your Highness, this jade is fake. This woman has always been cunning and treacherous; she is deliberately trying to harm me.”
Su Yujiao asked indifferently, "What are you feeling guilty about?"
"They won't even let me try. Are they afraid I can unlock the Dragon-Snake Jade?"
"Your Highness, you wouldn't be so easily fooled by her, would you?"
The prince handed her the dagger directly: "You try it."
Su Yujiao pouted: "I won't use the dagger she used, lest things get complicated later."
Xiaohe's face turned pale and then red with anger as she listened to Su Yujiao's sarcastic words.
Chen Yunniang was terrified, but she dared not continue to stop him, otherwise she would arouse suspicion.
Looking at Chen Yunniang's feigned composure, Su Yujiao said sarcastically, "Witch, shouldn't you clean the blood off here?"
"So that someone will say later that activating the Dragon Serpent Jade takes time, and that the moment I dripped blood was the perfect time to activate it."
"Well, who knows? It's really hard to say."
Chen Yunniang looked at Su Yujiao's mocking face and gritted her teeth in hatred.
Nan Sheng and the wizard listened to her words and thought that this was possible, so they decided to wait and see, perhaps they were being too impatient.
The Dragon-Snake Jade is no ordinary object; perhaps it truly takes time to unlock its potential?
Su Yujiao wasn't in a hurry. If they wanted to wait, they could wait. Even if they waited until the end of time, a piece of crafts made by acid washing the main character wouldn't produce a miracle.
For her, it was just watching the show a little longer.
But for Chen Yunniang, every minute and every second was torture.
Time ticked by, and Nan Sheng and the wizard finally lost their patience.
Although none of them had ever seen the Dragon-Snake Jade, they had never heard that opening it would take so long.
Legend has it that the first Holy Maiden of the Southern Frontier Kingdom opened the Dragon-Snake Jade during the Moon Worship Ceremony, and all the people of the Southern Frontier witnessed a miracle.
If unlocking the Dragon-Snake Jade would take forever, then the Holy Maiden would have long been questioned as a fake and ousted from the stage.
"I'm not waiting anymore."
"You try."
Nan Sheng instructed her subordinates to clean the dried bloodstains off the jade pendant and then handed it to Su Yujiao.
Su Yujiao pricked her finger with a silver needle, and the blood dripped onto the jade pendant.
Chen Yunniang was extremely nervous, praying repeatedly that there would be no reaction.
As it turned out, the jade really didn't react at all.
"Haha, I knew this jade was fake."
"Your Highness, you've been deceived by her! Arrest this vile woman immediately!"
Nan Sheng's face was extremely gloomy, and he stared at Su Yujiao with icy eyes.
"What happened?"
Su Yujiao shrugged: "What else could it be? I deliberately let her steal a fake jade."
"She sent people to kidnap me and set my yard on fire, but I'm not allowed to play a trick on her?"
Chen Yunniang's face turned ashen with anger, and she was about to unleash a torrent of curses when the man pressed her for an answer: "Really?"
