Everyone stared at the giant Buddha with wide eyes, and some of the timid ones even stepped back several meters for fear of being affected.

Not far away, Cang Boyi was coming with the abbot. The secret guard went to report the news. Cang Boyi was discussing the detoxification with the abbot, so Cang Boyi invited the abbot to come together.

After all, this is a matter related to Baoen Temple. If something really happens, the abbot will be there to give him a chance.

As a result, the abbot saw a golden light of merit from afar in the direction of the main hall, and the golden light almost blinded his eyes.

He ran over with great strides, and then saw a man covered in golden light of merit holding three incense sticks to burn incense to the gods and Buddhas in the main hall!

"No, you can't bow!" the abbot shouted.

But it was too late, Ye Xingchen had already bent down and bowed for the second time.

When everyone heard the voice, they all looked over. When they saw it was the abbot, they immediately saw the backbone.

"Abbot, you came at the right time. Ye Xingchen actually humiliated the gods and Buddhas of Baoen Temple, saying that they were not worthy of her worship. She doesn't take our Baoen Temple seriously! So we let her worship. If she continues to speak so shamelessly, King Mo will not let her go!" Kong Qing complained immediately.

He had an expression that looked like he was seeking credit, and wanted the abbot to praise him, but ended up being glared at by the abbot instead.

"Confused, stupid, extremely foolish!" The abbot roared and walked towards Ye Xingchen.

"Donor, you can't do that. You absolutely can't do that!" The abbot stopped him immediately.

Ye Xingchen looked innocent: "You are the abbot. I had no intention of offending the Buddha statue of Baoen Temple. They were the ones who were aggressive. King Mo insisted on making a bet with me that if anything happened to the Buddha statue, he would pay to recast a golden Buddha and give it to Baoen Temple, so I did as he wished."

"Donor, I beg you, please don't bow down." The abbot put his hands together and prayed.

Everyone looked confused, the host and Kong Qing were also dumbfounded.

"Abbot, what is going on?" the host asked subconsciously.

Before the abbot could explain, the 9.9-meter-tall Buddha statue suddenly made a cracking sound and a crack appeared in the middle.

"Look, something really happened to the Buddha statue!" Yan Tianming shouted.

"The Buddha statue is cracked. Miss, let's step back quickly to avoid it hitting you." Ajiu said worriedly.

Ye Xingchen sneered: "It doesn't dare!"

The voice was so arrogant, but at this moment no one dared to doubt it anymore.

"Something really happened to the Buddha statue. What Miss Ye said is true!" Lady Zhenguo screamed.

The others were all scared to death and retreated far away.

Cang Tingchen looked at the Buddha statue in shock and disbelief: "How could this happen? How could this happen? Why is this Buddha statue cracked?"

Ye Xingchen was just burning incense, how come something happened to the Buddha statue?

The wife of Marquis Boyang was so frightened that her face turned pale. It was she who instigated this, and now she could not escape the responsibility.

The host's face was extremely gloomy, and he held the Buddhist beads with great force.

This is the Buddha statue that Your Majesty has worshipped. How should I explain this to Baoen Temple and Your Majesty?

Kong Qing was even more confused: "The Buddha statue really cracked, how could it be possible, how could a yellow-haired girl like her be like this?"

Kong Qing only felt the pain of being hit on the face. He was the one who was too aggressive and insisted on getting Ye Xingchen to prove it. If he was willing to take a step back, the Buddha statue would be fine.

Now he is in trouble. Neither the abbot nor the monk will let him go.

The other disciples were even more dumbfounded. They actually followed Uncle Kong Qing in making trouble. At this moment, the disciples regretted their decision so much.

With a "bang", the entire Buddha statue split in the middle and fell to both sides.

"Run quickly, don't get hit by the Buddha statue!" Someone shouted, and everyone ran away.

Gu Jiu immediately pulled King Mo aside. Madam Boyang ran faster than a rabbit. Kong Qing protected the abbot and hid far away. The abbot stepped back several steps, looking distressed: "The Buddha statue, my Buddha statue!"

"Ye Xingchen, what did you do to the Buddha statue?" Cang Tingchen looked at him with disbelief and suspicion.

"I just lit a stick of incense. Didn't King Mo see it? Or is he blind?" Ye Xingchen asked back.

Cang Tingchen was so angry that his face turned black: "Impossible, how can such a tall Buddha statue be cracked by just one stick of incense? You must have used some magic."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Ye Xingchen with horror.

"Could it be that Ye Xingchen really knows witchcraft?" a bystander asked in shock.

"That must be the case. That's a Buddha statue that's over nine meters tall. How could it be cracked?"

"The Buddha statue is cracked. This is a bad omen."

"The Buddha statues in Bao'en Temple were all consecrated and have been worshipped by the public for many years. It is not a good thing that something happened to them suddenly."

"Other people are fine when they worship Buddha, why is it that something bad happened when she was burning incense to the Buddha statue?"

Everyone pointed fingers at Ye Xingchen and regarded her as a disaster.

Cang Boyi looked at everyone talking about Ye Xingchen like this and flew into a rage: "How dare you frame Miss Ye as an ominous person?"

The voice was cold and full of anger, shocking everyone.

Everyone was shocked. It turned out to be the Regent. They were so frightened that they dared not breathe.

The Regent was notoriously cruel and ruthless. If he wanted someone to die at three o'clock in the morning, even the King of Hell would not dare to keep them alive until five o'clock. He was even more terrifying than the King of Hell.

When Cang Tingchen saw that it was Cang Boyi, his expression became even uglier: "What do you mean by that, uncle? It is a fact that the Buddha statue is cracked. Is uncle trying to excuse Ye Xingchen?"

Cang Boyi sneered: "Prince Mo's ability to confuse right and wrong is just like that day in Fengyue Tower. It's really shameful!"

"Don't you think that I'm really afraid of you just because I call you Imperial Uncle?" Cang Tingchen roared.

"Everyone has seen that it was you, King Mo, who caused all this. Miss Ye said that these Buddha statues were not worthy of her worship. Everyone heard this.

Kong Qing was aggressive, and the wife of Marquis Boyang was like a mad dog, biting Miss Ye and fanning the flames to make trouble, but Miss Ye didn't care about them.

Even when the host told her to leave, Miss Ye didn't explain much and was about to go down the mountain. It was you, King Mo, who spoke up to stop her and wanted to make a bet with Miss Ye.

Originally, the golden Buddha could have escaped the disaster, but King Mo disregarded the dignity and prestige of the national temple and insisted on being angry and wanted to retaliate against Miss Ye in public, only to end up shooting himself in the foot.

Now that something has happened to the Buddha statue, Prince Mo said that Miss Ye is an unlucky person. Is it because you can't afford to lose, or do you not want to fulfill your bet and send a new Buddha statue?

The host and everyone else have heard it, so King Mo should quickly have someone cast a new golden Buddha and send it over." Cang Boyi's every word was like a pearl, not giving Cang Tingchen any face.

As soon as these words were spoken, all those who had just accused and suspected Ye Xingchen were dumbfounded.

"What the Regent said is right. I can testify that Miss Ye had no intention of offending the Buddha statue. It was Prince Mo who kept pestering her, and the wife of Marquis Boyang fanned the flames, so this happened." The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo deliberately raised her voice.

"I can also testify that it was Cang Tingchen who caused the accident to the Buddha statue." Yan Tianming agreed.
