Chapter 801 - Fail to Convince the Divine Witch

Chapter 801 Fail to Convince the Divine Witch

Right after he finished speaking, a gorgeous and bright blaze soared straight into the sky.

With a loud bang, the firework exploded in the night sky and instantly split into thousands of dazzling dots of lights that attracted the attention of all the people who were praying in the Witch Empress Shrine.

Someone shouted in the crowd, “The Witch Empress has made her presence felt! The Witch Empress has made her presence felt! The Divine Witch has summoned the Witch Empress to her residence by praying!”

After a moment of silence, the crowd rushed to the Divine Witch Shrine in the rear like crazy.

The spectacle even stunned Lin Mengya and the other two of them who caused this.

At this moment, the doorstep of the Divine Witch Shrine, which would probably be worn out by them, was going through a hard time.

Shaking her head, Lin Mengya would not let go of such a good opportunity.

After exchanging glances with Lin Mengya, Baisu put her arms around Lin Mengya’s waist and leaped over the wall between the two courtyards with ease.

Compared with the Witch Empress Shrine, the Divine Witch’s residence was more spacious.

Given that the Witch Empress was a legendary figure, while the Divine Witch enjoyed high prestige in the Lieyun Empire, it was reasonable for their shrines to be different.

Nevertheless, compared with the Witch Empress Shrine, the Divine Witch Shrine was more secluded and elegant, unlike a residence for people.

If it were not for the thick moonlight, Lin Mengya would have thought that she entered an immortal’s residence with no worldly air.

It seemed that the Divine Witch was a devout and cautious person.

“Miss, let’s go this way,” Baisu said.

In the moonlight, her alert profile looked particularly reliable.

The noises caused by the fireworks outside and plenty of believers, who were rushing over, were loud enough to cover up the footsteps of the two of them.

Xiaoyu was on top of the wall so that he could stand guard for them at any time.

If it had not been part of their arrangement, Lin Mengya would not have realized that there was a person on top of the wall.

Lin Mengya followed Baisu through the shrine. Soon, they arrived at a place that looked like a garden.

Like other places, it was secluded here with no one else around.

The two of them crouched on the porch and waited for a long time before making sure there were no guards here.

Then they disappeared into the depths of the garden in an instant like two swallows returning late even without disturbing the fishes in the pool.

After a long search, Lin Mengya and Baisu failed to find Madame Hui.

Could it be that Madame Hui had run away?

Shaking her head, Lin Mengya denied this possibility in her heart.

Madame Hui knew her situation better than anyone else. If she left now, the Emperor would definitely hunt her down feverishly.

Moreover, Lin Mengya did not believe that Madame Hui could leave so easily as the pawn Wanyan Jing planted in the imperial palace.

“Let’s go to the Divine Witch’s room to take a look. Perhaps Madame Hui is there.” After Lin Mengya finished speaking, Baisu nodded.

Seeing Baisu walk around in the Divine Witch Shrine with ease, Lin Mengya could not help but ask curiously, “Have you been here before?”

The two of them were whispering in the dark. Baisu turned around and gave Lin Mengya an innocent look.

She said, “No, Young Master showed me a map of this place before I came here. I have never been here. I had followed the general during my childhood.”

The general Baisu referred to was Wanyan Lie.

Baisu was one of the orphans adopted by Wanyan Lie. They, who had no parents, were trained into personal guards willing to die for their masters.

But Xiaoyu also told her that Baisu had a special identity.

Although Xiaoyu did not mention what exactly was special about Baisu, judging from her character, she presumably had not been trained into a killing robot and was very normal both in terms of feelings and personality.

Nevertheless, she was highly skilled in martial arts and looked ravishing.

Therefore, Lin Mengya guessed these might be what made Baisu special.

As for the reason, she believed only Wanyan Lie and his fellows knew.

They soon sneaked up to the main hall of the Divine Witch Shrine through the guest room.

The front of the main hall, which was grand, should be the hall where divinities or memorial tablets were worshiped, and the rear was the residence of the Divine Witch.

They bypassed the front door and went straight to the rear of the main hall.

As expected, they saw the place, which should be the Divine Witch’s residence, lit and heard two people whispering inside.

Even Lin Mengya, who had sharp ears, could only get a rough understanding of their conversation.

She tried to discern their conversation carefully, but could barely make out that Madame Hui seemed to be trying to convince the Divine Witch.

But she was incapable of making out the details.

As those people in the front hall gradually calmed down, the quiet courtyard became even quieter.

It was extremely difficult for them to get close to the courtyard.

In front of the door of the backyard, two people, who seemed highly trained, were looking around vigilantly.

It seemed that these two people were the guardians.

The two people, whose eyes were sparkling, were obviously top martial artists.

Baisu might be at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation with them.

But what if they were distracted?

Baisu and Lin Mengya had a tacit understanding long before. After exchanging glances with Lin Mengya, Baisu immediately figured out what she meant.

Baisu bent down and walked to the other side, picked up a pebble on the ground, and threw it into the air with a whoosh.

Just when the two people were distracted, Baisu disappeared into the dark like an agile cat.

“Who is there? Hunt him down!” One of them said.

The two of them were immediately distracted by the sound made by Baisu. Seeing that they had gone, Lin Mengya looked around carefully, then bent down, quickly moved to the window and hid under the window.

After a brief pause, they continued their conversation.

But at this time, Lin Mengya could hear it clearly.

“Reverend, in fact, I’ve been on tenterhooks every day. His Majesty has been bewitched and is no longer who he used to be. I’m here to sincerely ask you to perform an exorcism on His Majesty and save the Lieyun Empire from a calamity,” Madame Hui said with a hint of worry in her tone, sounding like a loyal imperial concubine.

Nevertheless, in any case, Lin Mengya found it strange for Madame Hui to ask the Divine Witch to perform an exorcism.

Could Madame Hui be suggesting that Madame Jingrou was the evil spirit possessing the Emperor?

But Lin Mengya still thought it strange. After all, Madame Jingrou had married into the imperial palace for 20 years. Was it a little too late to claim she was the evil spirit possessing the Emperor now?

“Madame, I’m flattered. Praying for blessings for our country is my duty, but you don’t have to be over anxious. His Majesty, who is erudite and wise, is unlikely to be confused. Madame, you can take it easy.” Lin Mengya heard another female voice that should belong to the Divine Witch.

Her voice was very gentle and peaceful like the Divine Witch Shrine that seemed to be a fairyland untainted by the mortal world.

“Reverend, you can doubt my words, but I suppose you have learned what happened recently, haven’t you? Her Grace fell seriously sick for some unknown reason, and the priests of various tribes were hunted down on the way. These have never happened before. When that child was born, the previous Divine Witch asserted that he would cause unimaginable turbulence in the Lieyun Empire. If it weren’t for Her Grace who sent him away out of benevolence, he probably would have brought disaster to the Lieyun Empire. Since he returned, we have met with one and another misfortunes. Reverend, I beg you to personally perform an exorcism for the people of the Lieyun Empire!” Madame Hui made a pitiful plea with feigned strong emotion.

Hearing this, Lin Mengya finally figured out Madame Hui’s purpose.

It turned out that her target was Xiaoyu rather than Madame Jingrou!

Madame Hui was so cunning and mean in speech. The truth was that Yao Lu relied on her identity and status to make Madame Jingrou separate from Xiaoyu.

But now Madame Hui described Yao Lu as a person who placed righteousness above family loyalty.

Wasn’t she a little too brazen?

“Madame, you should not have said that. The Ninth Prince is the son of the Emperor as well as a citizen of the Lieyun Empire. I believe that his birth will not bring any disaster to the Lieyun Empire. Madame, you don’t have to be too worried. If the Emperor is really possessed by an evil spirit, I will definitely help the royal family out. Please don’t mention it again.” The Divine Witch once again turned down Madame Hui who seemed to say that out of benevolence.

Squatting under the window, Lin Mengya had quite a favorable impression of the Divine Witch, whom she had never met before.

Madame Hui presumably came to the Divine Witch Shrine to incite the Divine Witch to deal with Xiaoyu and his force.

Unexpectedly, the Divine Witch, who was upright, certainly did not consent to their plan.

So Madame Hui stayed behind in an attempt to convince the Divine Witch. However, judging from the current situation, Madame Hui was unlikely to succeed.

“Reverend, please think it over. I’m begging you on behalf of the people of the Lieyun Empire,” Madame Hui said.

Wow, she even assumed a righteous air.

In fact, Lin Mengya had the strongest aversion to making someone do something by occupying the moral high ground.

If the Divine Witch kept turning down Madame Hui, Madame Hui was presumably going to describe the Divine Witch as a cold-hearted person who disregarded the Lieyun Empire.

However, after waiting for a long time, Lin Mengya did not hear the Divine Witch’s answer.

She cautiously stuck out her head and approached the window so that she could barely see what was going on inside through the window gauze.

Madame Hui knelt on the ground and prostrated herself sincerely.

But the woman in purple sitting in front of her remained unaffected.

After waiting for a long time, Madame Hui reluctantly stood up from the ground.

Lin Mengya immediately shrank back, as Madame Hui seemed to be about to turn around and leave.

“Reverend, if you really refuse to help us in peril, I can only ask someone else for help. Please think it over. I’m still filled with confidence in you,” Madame Hui said in an increasingly cold tone, and her words sounded like a threat.

The Divine Witch still did not answer. Madame Hui, who seemed to be furious, left with a flick of her sleeve.

Seeing Madame Hui leave in rage, Lin Mengya, who was in the shadow under the window, cautiously tried to hide herself from Madame Hui and did not get out of the shadow until she was sure that Madame Hui had gone.

Although Madame Hui left today, Lin Mengya was sure that she would not give up easily.
