"Are you really a cook?" The high priest looked at Su Luo, "Is there a cook like you? You look too good, don't you?"
Su Luo smiled bitterly: "In reply to the High Priest, I am really not a cook."
High Priest: “Oh?”
Su Luo: "I was originally a leisurely person traveling around the continent. It was the second son of the Chu family who invited me here. He said Lihuo City was very interesting, so I came here. But after I cooked a dish in Yujian Pavilion, I was forced by the Sheng family to be the chef."
The high priest stared at Su Luo: "Is that so?"
Su Luo smiled bitterly: "That's it."
High Priest: "I heard that you are from the Su family of the Central Empire?"
Everyone present looked at Su Luo, especially the high priest.
The Su family of the Central Empire? They're quite famous!
Among the major families, it also ranks very high.
Su Luo smiled bitterly again: "Although it is indeed from the Su family, I have never dared to mention the name of the Su family."
"Why?"
"I'm a side branch of the Su family, quite far removed from the main branch. The main branch is indeed flourishing, but us, the side branch... we only have the surname Su, but that's all we do. We just muddle through."
"Are you just wasting your time?" The High Priest stared at Su Luo with a cold gaze. "You know, we'll investigate!"
Su Luo: "I am an upright person. There is nothing I cannot tell others."
The High Priest smiled and asked directly for details: "Which branch and house are you from? Where is your home in the Central Imperial Capital? Who else is in your family? Who are your relatives and friends?"
If you ask such detailed questions, it will be easy to reveal the truth.
But fortunately——
Su Luo can communicate with Butler Jiang through Little Phoenix.
Butler Jiang is a meticulous person and is currently at the God of Wealth's place.
Therefore, he prepared a real file for Su Luo early on.
Su Luo had never been to the Central Empire, but Butler Jiang seemed to know the Central Imperial Capital very well.
"This branch of the Su family, the Zhenxi Marquis, is the seventh house, the seventeenth generation. My father was the third son born out of wedlock." Su Luo gave a bitter laugh. "By the time of my father's generation, the family had already fallen on hard times. Living in the city was no longer affordable, so the whole family moved to Hefeng Town on the outskirts of the city."
Su Luo paused.
Because the little phoenix was transmitting a little slowly, she had to pause for a moment.
After Little Phoenix finished her story, Su Luo continued, "My father was bedridden for many years and eventually passed away. My mother loved him deeply and died with him..."
Su Luo's face showed a sorrowful expression. "I have a younger brother at home, who is still young and has been entrusted to the aunt next door to raise him... Other than that, Su Liuyun doesn't have many relatives or friends. Please send someone to investigate."
The high priest stared at Su Luo, trying to find any trace of disguise on her face...
But... he couldn't see any flaws at all.
Either this is true, or this person's acting skills have reached a superb level.
The High Priest would rather believe that this is true...
Chu Shaojiang, who had quieted down, suddenly said, "I suspect Su Liuyun is colluding with the Palace of Divine Wealth!"
Brush, brush, brush.
Su Luo, who was about to be cleared of suspicion, was targeted by everyone again.
Su Luo stared at Chu Shaojiang. Does this guy really like biting her? !
"Your Highness, this Su Liuyun was most likely sent by the God of Wealth. He's been cooking for you, and he might have secretly poisoned you! Your Highness, your life is at stake!"
Su Luo glared at Chu Shaojiang: "Nonsense, slanderous!"
Chu Shaojiang sneered: "Am I talking nonsense? Please come and check the pulse of King Shenwu to see if he is poisoned, and then you will know that you are innocent!"
