Those who understood sighed inwardly, while those who didn't simply assumed the emperor's brother-in-law was feeling lingering fear.
The scene finally reached its climax, and the emperor said calmly, "Minister Wen, do you not know whether the goddess is real or not? Do you not know either?"
As he spoke, he became genuinely curious. With such allure of profit, how could these people manage to stray into such a dead end?
