"No, it must be three years!" Three years was the shortest time given by the Great Wizard after considering King Jingnan's feelings. If the time was shorter, he would not have enough time to find a new Saint.
"Then I won't be the saint. Whoever wants to be it can be it." Lin Jinghan threw the booklet directly to the ground, folded her arms, and gave up.
"If you don't agree, all your friends in the palace will die!" For the sake of Beijiang and their Beijiang witch clan, the great witch didn't mind taking some extreme measures.
In fact, if he was unable to take out the blood jade pendant and could not kill Lin Jinghan to get back the holy butterfly, he would not have thought of this method of using someone else as a substitute.
Because once the Blood Jade Pendant and the Holy Butterfly recognize their master, no one else can obtain them. If their master dies, they will disappear with him. And it will take three years to cultivate a new Holy Butterfly.
"You can try. A willing saint and a forced saint, which one would you prefer?" Lin Jinghan smiled softly, covering her lips.
"I've always been a person who follows my heart. If someone forces me, like you, the Great Witch, for example, I wouldn't mind publicly announcing my intention to marry someone during a sacrifice. For example, the emperor of Xiqi or Nanzhao, for example, you, the Great Witch..."
"You!" The Great Wizard had never thought that Lin Jinghan could come up with such a shameless method to deal with him. His chest rose and fell violently, and it took him a long time to calm down. He gritted his teeth and said,
"Tell me, what will it take for you to agree?"
Just imagine, if during the sacrifice, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Saint Girl cried and shouted that she wanted to marry him, a great witch! That scene was too terrible, he simply couldn't bear to think about it...
"First, my prince must agree." Lin Jinghan knew that he would not be able to do anything to her, so she stood up first and walked towards the door.
"Okay, but you can't let anyone know that you are not a real saint, including King Jingnan." The great wizard squatted down and picked up the "Saint's Handbook".
Lin Jinghan thought carefully. Impersonating a saint from a country was no small matter. If her prince knew the truth, he would definitely not agree to it. So she nodded in agreement.
The Great Witch stared into Lin Jinghan's eyes.
"You swear!"
"I am the Princess of Jingnan, and my words are always my bond. If you don't believe me, you don't have to cooperate with me!" Lin Jinghan was angry. She met the eyes of the Great Witch and refused to give in. No one could force her to swear!
"Okay, I hope Princess Jingnan will keep her word." After a while, the great wizard was defeated and opened the door with a sigh.
As soon as Sikong Zhan and the others walked out, Sikong Zhan couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Furukawa was horrified and quickly examined him, only to discover that his condition was extremely dire. It wasn't just the aftereffects of activating his bloodline power, but more importantly, the backlash from his internal cultivation techniques was severe, and he couldn't suppress it anymore!
"Old Xiang, come and help!" Guchuan hurriedly called Xiang Yuanqing to help suppress the backlash of the martial arts in Sikong Zhan's body. Even Rongyue followed suit and contributed his internal strength.
The three of them worked together to finally suppress the backlash of Sikong Zhan's martial arts, but the sequelae of activating the power of his bloodline, although Xiang Yuanqing could use golden needles to help him alleviate it, he was ultimately unable to cure it.
"Since you've fought so hard for my disciple, I'll hand him over to you." Xiang Yuanqing deeply resonated with Sikong Zhan's love for the one he loved, and he felt at ease handing his disciple over to Sikong Zhan.
"Master Xiang, don't forget that Jinghan married me first, and only then did she take you as her master." Sikong Zhan's demeanor when he said this was almost identical to the words Lin Jinghan had said when she was arguing with Rongyue. However, he used a teasing tone, while Lin Jinghan was just being sarcastic.
"Good boy, I just saved you! Are you going to be ungrateful?" Xiang Yuanqing pretended to be angry.
"I'm telling the truth." Sikong Zhan added indifferently.
It was rare for Guchuan to see Xiang Yuanqing being humiliated, and he almost laughed out loud, but he was almost about to laugh out loud.
Xiang Yuanqing glared at the master and disciple, then simply sat down to regulate his breathing and ignored them.
Rongyue felt quite happy watching them bickering. She hugged Tan Taiyu and snuggled in Guchuan's arms, discussing with him in a low voice what to do next.
"According to Jinghan's idea, although there was a small deviation in the middle, we just need to wait until Jinghan comes out safely and then do everything according to the plan." Furukawa said.
At this time, the voice of the Great Witch rang out: "Prince Jingnan, please excuse me for a moment."
Then, Sikong Zhan disappeared at the door out of thin air.
Lin Jinghan came out of the room with Hanquan, but did not go out as she imagined. Instead, she went to another room. She turned around to ask the great witch, but there was no sign of the great witch.
Just as she was wondering, the next moment she saw Da Wu and Sikong Zhan appear in front of her.
Lin Jinghan thought she was hallucinating and blinked hard. Sikong Zhan in front of her did not disappear, but instead hugged her tightly in his arms.
"Jinghan..."
In just two days, he almost lost her twice. He regretted it very much. He shouldn't have brought her to Beijiang in the first place, and she wouldn't have encountered these dangers.
"It's my fault. I made you worry." Lin Jinghan snuggled in his arms obediently.
"I will definitely work hard to improve my strength in the future and never let you worry about me again."
Lin Jinghan seriously reflected on what she had experienced in the past two days. The main reason why she was in danger was because she was not strong enough.
Whether using poison or golden needles, it is ultimately an external force, not her own strength, and there will always be times when she is unable to do anything.
Therefore, she has made up her mind to devote more of her energy to improving her strength and no longer become a burden to others.
"Okay, I'll help you." In the past, Sikong Zhan thought that as long as he was by her side, she would not be harmed. But after these two days, he realized that there would always be a time when he could not protect her. Even if she didn't mention it, he would make her practice harder.
"Ahem." Seeing that the two had no intention of separating, the Great Wizard interrupted their tenderness.
"I say, it's not too late for you to hug me after we finish talking about business."
"What's the matter?" Sikong Zhan let go of the person in his arms: considering that the Great Witch saved his Jinghan, as long as what he asked was not too excessive, it would be fine to agree to him.
"Princess Jingnan is the Holy Maiden of my Beijiang." After the Great Wizard said this, he looked at Sikong Zhan to see how he would react.
Sikong Zhan looked a little unnatural, frowned and asked, "So what?"
"I hope the Saint can temporarily give up her status as Princess Jingnan, stay in Beijiang for three years, and take on her responsibilities as a Saint."
"Impossible!" Sikong Zhan's face instantly turned cold. If this great wizard dared to separate him and Jing Han, even if he had saved Jing Han before, he would never be polite to him.
