619 Slap in the Face, Two Gu Meet (1)
Nangong Yan was speechless!
She wanted to say that the holy artifact had not abandoned her! The holy artifact had indeed been stolen. At that time, the holy artifact had not recognized her as its master and was only stored in the storeroom. As long as it was a powerful expert, they could steal it.
But she couldn’t say.
If she did, she would be slapping herself in the mouth. But it was precisely because of her actions that everyone’s guess made her feel even worse than slapping herself.
She would die either way. Nangong Yan was forced into a dilemma.
Of course, Nangong Yan could also say that what abandoned her today was not the holy artifact, but the Gu Queen. From the beginning to the end, she had never been abandoned by the holy artifact. After all, she had never obtained it. However, wasn’t this an additional crime?
She lied to the Emperor and fooled the commoners. It was no less than the scolding of being “abandoned by the holy artifact”.
Nangong Yan felt a sense of helplessness she had never felt before. Telling the truth was equivalent to admitting her sin. If she didn’t tell the truth, she would have to take the blame. She looked at the State Preceptor helplessly, hoping that he could help her at this critical moment.
Of course, the State Preceptor wanted to do this, but his situation was much more difficult than hers.
The commoners were far away and did not see clearly, but he, the Emperor, and the Gu Elders of the Gu Hall watched helplessly as the little thing ran past their feet. What else could that snow-white little worm be but a snow toad?
The holy artifact was also white, but not so white, nor was it so beautiful that it made people want to hold it in their hearts.
The Emperor frowned, not sure if he was seeing things. “What was that just now?”
When the holy artifact was sent over, the Emperor had also glanced at it through the translucent jade bottle. And its appearance wasn’t this.
