Chapter 753 The Sage, The Wheel of Fate! [2 Updates]
The City of the World has been established for so long, and no one has ever dared to disrespect Sara Victoria.
Seeing this, Bi'er's eyes showed a hint of anticipation and hope.
Ideally, Ying Zijing would offend the Empress and be executed.
This is Ying Zijin's own doing, and she can't blame anyone else.
Even after being executed by the Sage, the Leinger family dared not utter a single complaint.
This way, she had one less competitor in the election for patriarch.
We'll figure out a way to get rid of Hilo later.
Bier's gaze followed the knight's legs, her heart pounding in her chest.
However, the kick didn't even touch the girl's clothes.
The next second, it felt as if some great force came from afar and crushed the knight's leg.
"ah--!!!"
The knight let out a shrill scream and was sent flying backward.
Just then, another tall and slender figure slowly entered through the side door of the hall.
The Sage Pope, Louis Theseus!
The two knights with scepters protecting Louis changed their expressions and shouted sharply, "How dare you!"
One of the knights with a scepter stepped forward and, without any hesitation, raised his leg at the approaching knight.
"Bang!"
The knight crashed into the opposite wall instantly.
"Click-clack—"
It was the sound of bones breaking.
The knight coughed violently, reaching out as if to say something, but blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't even breathe.
Ying Zijing's internal energy did not cause him much harm.
It was the Knight of the Scepter's kick that shattered his bones and internal organs.
It was this commotion that drew Louis's attention to the girl in the hall.
A look of amazement flashed across his eyes.
At that moment, a cold female voice came from behind.
"What happened?"
Both Bi'er and Lan En felt a tightness in their chests and lowered their heads even further.
Ying Zijing raised her head and looked ahead.
His phoenix eyes were calm and still, as black as night.
The woman wore an elaborate court dress, a crown, and held a scepter, exuding majesty.
The Wise Queen, Sara Victoria!
"Your Majesty the Queen..." The knight coughed up blood again, unable to finish a single sentence.
His head lolled to the side, and he fell completely silent.
Sara's face instantly turned icy cold: "Who did this?!"
The knight with the scepter who had acted earlier replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty, he intended to harm His Holiness the Pope, so I acted accordingly."
Bier had absolutely no idea how the knight flew out.
She hesitated for a moment, then raised her head and blurted out, "Your Majesty, it was she who refused to kneel before you first."
As expected, Sha Luo's attention was diverted, and her gaze fell on Ying Zijing: "Hmm—?"
Bi'er was secretly delighted.
Disrespecting the wise will lead to death.
“Shaluo, where do you get so many rules?” Louis’s voice was slow and gentle. “It’s not the New Year’s celebration, what’s there to kneel down for?”
Sara had already seen the girl's face.
It was an extremely beautiful face.
Black hair and dark eyes, with features as beautiful as a painting.
The girl's skin was as white as jade, almost transparent.
The light reflected from the magnificent hall bathed her face in a faint golden hue, making her appear radiant and sacred.
She was wearing a very simple shirt and jeans, yet she exuded a sophisticated and elegant aura.
Even Sara felt a surge of jealousy rising within her.
In particular, Louis's defense of a mortal body in front of her undermined her prestige and dignity.
But since the Sage Pope was of equal status to her, Sara could only swallow her anger.
"Alright, all of you, get up." Louis waved his hand and sat down on another throne.
Bi'er, Lan En, and the other two were flattered by these words: "Thank you, Your Holiness."
After this incident, Sara lost all interest and looked listless.
Louis, however, kept asking questions.
But it was obvious to everyone that he was only interested in Ying Zijing.
Even though Ying Zijin was distant and indifferent towards him, Louis remained very patient.
An unbelievable thought and an unspeakable panic rose in Bi'er's mind.
Could it be that the Pope has taken a liking to Ying Zijin?
Crazy?
Is Ying Zijin worthy?
"Alright, that's all for today." Louis was quite disappointed that he hadn't been able to get any information out of her. "Sara hasn't been feeling well these past few days, so please don't bother her any further."
He paused, then added a special reminder: "Be careful on the road."
Ying Zijing narrowed her eyes slightly, but still didn't respond much, and turned to leave.
Bier simply couldn't believe it.
As she stepped out of the hall, she felt her blood run cold.
"Look, this is the difference between people." Hilo, who had arrived sometime earlier, shook her head and sighed. "You went in together, so why didn't you win the Pope's favor?"
"Shut up!" Bi'er finally lost her temper. "What kind of favor is that? It's just based on looks!"
Hilo sighed again: "Looks are an asset too. How long has His Holiness the Pope lived? He's seen thousands, if not tens of thousands, of beauties. How come only Ying Zijin caught his eye?"
Bier gritted her teeth, ignored Shiloh, and quickly entered the elevator.
His back looked disheveled as he fled in panic.
"Miss Hilo," the steward approached respectfully, "whether you will stay overnight at the Sage's Abode or return to the Lyinger family tonight?"
"Back to the main family." Hilo smiled slightly as he watched Bi'er's retreating figure. "The election for patriarch is next month. I need to get used to it first and not disappoint Her Majesty the Queen."
**
Inside the hall, only two sages remained.
Having been publicly humiliated by Louis, Sara's expression turned slightly cold.
She sneered, "It seems the Wheel of Fortune doesn't mean much to you. You've already fallen for someone else so quickly?"
Louis's expression changed when the title was mentioned.
His voice turned serious: "Shaluo, watch your words and actions."
"What, did I say something wrong?" Sara leaned back on her throne, her gaze sharp as ever. "You know she's completely fallen, and you have no chance to be with her anymore, so you've changed your target so quickly?"
She sneered again: "I really feel sorry for the Wheel of Fortune."
The eleventh of the Twenty-Two Sages, The Wheel of Fortune.
Knowing one's destiny, controlling one's marriage, severing ties to the past life, and predicting the future life.
Knowing everything and understanding everything.
The Wheel of Fortune's special ability can be said to be the most overpowered among the twenty-two sages.
As long as she's there, we'll be invincible.
His divine calculations were unparalleled, terrifying beyond measure.
However, the Wheel of Fortune's combat power is relatively low.
Although she did not participate in the war, she still perished in that holy war.
The appearance of the diviner at that time also shook the Sage's Academy.
Because the fortune teller's abilities are exactly the same as the Wheel of Fortune.
Louis himself traveled to the City of the World to contact the fortune teller.
I gave up later.
Firstly, because the diviner is too mysterious and also has a high level of martial arts skills.
Secondly, it's a pity that the diviner wasn't from this place, but came from another universe across time and space.
It has nothing to do with the wheel of fortune in any way.
Throughout this long history, which of the sages who have completely fallen have returned?
The wise man, the foolish man, and the wise man of temperance all perished completely in two world-class catastrophes that were enough to destroy the world.
Louis frowned: "You're meddling in my private affairs?"
"I'm just reminding you that since you like her, she absolutely cannot succeed as the head of the family," Sara said calmly. "When it comes to the election, do I need to remind you who to choose?"
Louis frowned even more deeply: "I understand."
He rose and left the hall.
Sara pressed her head, exhaling slowly, her face still looking very pale.
That's enough, he's just a mortal with flesh and blood, not even worth her attention.
Why should she care about these things?
**
night.
To celebrate today's victory, the students from the Academy of Engineering booked out a barbecue restaurant next to the research institute.
"Ying Shen, what did the sages say to you?" Ye Siqing asked curiously. "I noticed that Lan En and Bi'er didn't look well, and Bi'er even cried."
Ying Zijing paused for a moment: "Where did you learn this kind of address?"
"Online," Ye Siqing said naturally. "Many netizens call you that."
Ying Zijin: "..."
It seems that technological advancements haven't led to a corresponding evolution in netizens.
“She didn’t say anything.” Ying Zijing slowly picked up a string of roasted beef tendons. “She asked me if I was married.”
Ye Siqing: "???"
Completely baffled, she could only focus on eating her skewers.
When Ying Zijing picked up the second string of beef tendon, her eyes suddenly narrowed.
Her ears twitched, and she suddenly raised her hand to pull Ye Siqing into her arms.
Before Ye Siqing could react, she was pinned under the table, and the next second, the barbecue stall turned into a pile of ashes.
The fire was raging.
All around were screams.
Ye Siqing was shocked: "Ying Shen?"
She struggled to lift her head and saw the girl still sitting in the chair.
A bullet was held between his slender fingers.
Good luck to all the students taking the college entrance exam!
I still remember that my college entrance exam essay was a letter, lol.
I was completely bewildered when I went on stage, but thankfully the core of the essay was still an argumentative one.
