He suddenly became the high priest.
Qu Jian'er felt no discomfort whatsoever.
She even wanted to give Zuo Chen a high five and tell someone that they were on the same wavelength.
Unfortunately, Zuo Chen, the "master of the artifact," was hastily summoned away by the old king, and she did not want to go with him.
She had nothing to do.
I took a walk around.
Qu Jian'er suddenly stopped and raised an eyebrow, saying, "It seems we've forgotten about Yin Ling."
She turned around and met the gaze of Hei Dazhu, who stood tall and proud, full of fighting spirit, and acting like a bully.
Both sides saw silence in each other's eyes.
Qu Jian'er hurriedly asked for directions and found someone, and was respectfully led by the cloaked man to the place where Ou Muqing was imprisoned.
I just arrived here.
I saw the sound spirit being mocked.
"I've said it before: though you're both princes, the person you follow will never be favored by His Majesty or loved by the people. Stubborn to the end, you'll regret it sooner or later!"
Qu Jian'er: "..." Both are princes? Who!?
Standing before Yinling was her old acquaintance, Sophia of the Black family, whose fortune had been taken back.
Without Zuo Chen's luck, Sophia's physical condition deteriorated significantly, but her Yin-Yang techniques remained intact.
She joined the Holy Sword organization because she wanted to become a truly useful right-hand man to Ou Xiao.
She needed to prove herself more useful than Qu Jiaorou, that pretty face, and that she was the only one qualified to stand beside her.
I met Ou Muqing.
Even after learning from Ou Xiao that the other party was not recognized as a member of the royal family, Sofia still regarded him as a formidable rival.
It's simply that Ou Muqing possesses extraordinary abilities that Ou Xiao lacks, and he is one of the four chief envoys of the Holy Sword.
And because of prejudice.
She had no liking whatsoever for Yinling, the little tail following Ou Muqing.
They seize any opportunity to make sarcastic remarks.
No.
The substitution was forced to stop.
They encountered a spirit seeking someone.
She didn't give her a friendly look either.
Sophia pointed to the people in the dark room: "What's the point of following him? Following His Highness is the only way to have a real future. Don't forget, even the High Priest is on His Highness's side."
Yin Ling was so angry that her whole body was covered in rage, but she never argued back, and could only glare at the person in front of her.
Sofia wanted to press her advantage.
A voice interrupted her.
"Oh? I'm on Ou Xiao's side, how come I didn't know?"
Qu Jian'er leaned against the corner of the wall, still holding the popcorn she hadn't finished eating, listening intently.
Yinling looked at Qu Jian'er first: "Master? You're out. Are you alright? They didn't give you any trouble, did they?"
She appeared after Yuuki.
They were kicked out along with everyone else.
While no one was around to ask her.
She hurriedly went to find Ou Muqing.
The dark room was unattended, and no one was discussing anything; they also lacked Ou Xiao's extensive network of information.
so.
She is just like Sofia.
They still don't know that the high priest has been replaced.
Sophia scoffed, "Ridiculous. We're talking about the High Priest. Who do you think you are?"
Qu Jian'er spoke with an air of maturity and a serious expression: "I am not talented, but one of the newly appointed high priests."
Sophia laughed in anger: "Haha, who gave you the courage to impersonate the High Priest?"
Yinling hesitated.
She didn't believe it either.
The time we spent together was short.
She knew all too well that Qu Jian'er was unreliable.
But given how powerful the opponent is, it's very possible that he could become a priest, but it's unlikely that he could replace the high priest.
Everyone knows about the Holy Sword.
The high priest is second only to the king.
He is a person of even higher status than Ou Xiao.
Therefore, she was skeptical.
Yinling asked, "Master, are you serious?"
Qu Jian'er blinked: "Guess~"
Without a word, Sophia summoned her men: "Impersonating the High Priest is a serious crime. Guards, bring her before the Chief Judge and question her about disrespect!"
A group of cloaked figures without cloaks appeared in front of Sofia.
They all bowed their heads and bent their waists towards Qu Jian'er.
That appearance was utterly humble.
He completely ignored the dumbfounded Sofia.
Sophia felt a sharp pain in her eyes. Could the person standing before her, who had no manners and no moral character, really be the high priest?
Did she offend the new high priest?
Will she still be able to pass her internship?
Qu Jian'er sighed, "Don't be afraid, I'm a magnanimous person and won't hold it against you."
Upon hearing this...
Sophia's eyes lit up, while Yinling and Hei Dazhu were equally suspicious and rolled their eyes, respectively.
Qu Jian'er laughed and said, "It's easy to disable her Yin-Yang magic by throwing out the Holy Sword."
Yinling: "..." This is really simple.
Sophia's face turned pale, and she shook her head frantically: "No, no! High Priest, I didn't mean to be rude. I'm a member of the Black family, you can't treat me like this!?"
She knew that without Yin-Yang techniques, she would be useless and become just a pretty face like Qu Jiaorou.
The Sato family has already been destroyed.
If she were to want to learn more about mystical arts, the Yu family and the Vincent family would probably not agree to accept her.
Sofia begged Qu Jian'er for forgiveness.
Little did she know that the other party had more than one "grudge" against her, and she would not let go of the opportunity to settle things.
Yinling was stunned, as if she were a wooden chicken.
Sofia was dragged away, and only after the screams of pain ceased did she realize what had happened.
Yinling hesitated and called out twice, "Master... no, High Priest?"
It hasn't been that long since we last met.
Now that you've become my boss, is it still necessary for me to bring people along to curry favor with you?
Qu Jian'er neither nodded nor shook her head, but smiled and said, "What are you standing there for? Let's save them."
Yinling watched as Qu Jian'er used her authority to open the secret room, and she hurriedly went to help Ou Muqing.
Ou Muqing felt that the past two days had been too surreal.
