Chapter 164: Rushing to
Chapter 164: Rushing to
Almost everyone in the villa knew that there was a riot at the foot of the mountain. Many fishermen wanted to punish Wu Na and Meng Xianyu.
Wu Na was one of the candidates for the next Saint, and it was not their responsibility to manage her. Even if she had committed a serious mistake, she should be handed over to the elders of the temple for handling. They, the priests, were not allowed to meddle in other people's affairs.
Originally, they had no right to interfere in Wu Na's life or death. But now everyone could see that the high priest treated Wu Na differently.
The identities of the two elders were even more special. Even though Elder Jiayu was seriously injured here, he still did not gain the trust of everyone.
There is no way. The priest lineage and the saint lineage have been in confrontation for many years.
The two groups had long forgotten that they were originally from the same lineage. They were at loggerheads with each other, to the point where they were incompatible.
Some young people have buried the seeds of hatred deep in their hearts since childhood.
The repeated tit-for-tat confrontations had caused a deep hatred between them. The grievances between the two factions had long been deepening and difficult to resolve.
Even if Elder Jiayu sacrificed his life, it would not be accepted by all the people in the sacrificial lineage.
In the endless fighting between the two factions, too many people were sacrificed. For both factions, an elder Jiayu was not worth mentioning at all.
Elder Jiayu and Elder Gele were in an even more awkward situation than Wu Na. At least Wu Na had never done anything to harm the sacrificial lineage.
But Elder Jiayu and Elder Gele have served in the temple for so many years, it is inevitable that they will have conflicts with the priests. Even if they want to let them go, they have to consider their own situation.
The fate of Elder Jiayu and Elder Gele will not be decided by the priest lineage. Their life and death are in their own hands. If they let their opponents go, who can let them go?
The situation of Elder Jiayu and Elder Gele was truly one of internal and external troubles. The temple excluded them, and the priests regarded them as enemies.
Fortunately, they are all alone, otherwise they will be deserted by their friends and relatives. It is good to be alone like them. They don't need to consider the feelings of their relatives. Even if the days are hard and difficult, they can get through it without causing trouble for others.
If the priests pushed the responsibility of this incident onto the two of them, then they would become victims of the fight between the two factions.
But in recent days, Gele Dharmapala has changed some people's views of him. His frankness, his generosity, his courage, etc., all make people admire him.
Elder Jiayu was seriously injured while trying to save people, which also caused some people to begin to waver.
However, only a small number of people were shaken. There were also many people who thought that the two of them were just pretending.
The people in the temple are all scheming and not worthy of sympathy. There are no good people among them, and good people will not have anything to do with the temple. If they can become the elders of the temple, they must not be good people.
As a member of a tribe with no roots, Meng Xianyu was the best scapegoat to settle the incident. She was the only one, no one else.
As long as Meng Xianyu is handed over, the problem at the foot of the mountain can be solved. Those fishermen will definitely burn Meng Xianyu to offer sacrifice to the heaven, and then they will no longer have any trouble.
But this time, even though the situation had developed to the point where it was difficult to resolve, Guardian Linlang still protected the two girls and refused to hand anyone over.
Linlang Dharma Protector is the person the High Priest trusts the most. What Linlang Dharma Protector means is what the High Priest means.
At least it can be said that Meng Xianyu must not be ignored, she must have something special.
No one in the entire villa was willing to offend Meng Xianyu. Even if they were jealous, they would not come forward at this time.
People who lack strength can only gain a firm foothold by assessing the situation and adapting to the changing circumstances.
Soon, several other guardians arrived one after another, but it was unknown what they were thinking.
The fourth guardian, Weiqi, arrived the fastest. He was honest and trustworthy. He rushed over as soon as he heard the news.
The sixth guardian, Yu Jue, also arrived soon.
The seventh guardian Yufan, who was an expert in light skills, was the last to arrive.
Dharma protectors Wei Qi and Yu Jue arrived at almost the same time.
Guardian Weiqi arrived first, but when he saw Guardian Amber's hysterical look, he was stunned. He was an honest man, and although he looked big and strong, he would not quarrel or stop a fight, because he was not good at talking.
Just as he was standing at the door in a daze, the guardian Yu Jue appeared.
When Dharma Protector Yu Jue saw Dharma Protector Wei Qi standing there blankly, he walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and called him "Fourth Senior Brother".
Dharma Protector Wei Qi finally reacted. He pointed inside the house and asked Dharma Protector Yu Jue to find a solution quickly.
Dharma protector Yu Jue has a hot temper and can't stand noise the most.
He strode in quickly, and the Coral Guardian immediately called him for help.
The guardian looked at the hideous and hysterical Second Senior Sister, but she ignored him. It was also possible that she didn't even notice that there was another person in this small alchemy room.
The guardian Yu Jue looked at Meng Xianyu again and found that she was just concentrating on watching the fire, not caring about the noise of others. The guardian Yu Jue admired Meng Xianyu.
Regardless of who is right or wrong, at least it seems that his second senior sister is the one who has fallen behind.
The guardian Yu Jue was determined to go all out and attacked directly. He took advantage of the fact that the guardian Amber was not paying attention and attacked her directly, pressing her acupuncture points, making her unable to move. Then he grabbed the guardian Amber by the collar and threw her out.
The guardian Amber was also frightened. She was so focused on Meng Xianyu that she got tricked. If it was a fair fight, the guardian Yu Jue would not be her opponent.
Amber Guardian even forgot to curse for a moment. She felt someone behind her, it should be Guardian Weiqi. Someone would catch her, and Amber Guardian was relieved. She didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of Meng Xianyu.
The guardian Amber looked viciously at the guardian Yujie who threw her out. Just as she was about to curse, the guardian Yujie slammed the door shut.
Dharma Protector Wei Qi was also preparing to catch Dharma Protector Amber, but Dharma Protector Yu Fan suddenly appeared at this moment and quietly brought Dharma Protector Wei Qi to the side.
Before Guardian Weiqi could react, Guardian Amber fell to the ground. This fall was terrible, the back of her head hit the ground, and she fainted.
Protector Wei Qi finally reacted and hurried forward.
The guardian Yufan grabbed him again.
Wei Qi, the guardian, said: "What are you doing? Why don't you go check on Second Senior Sister's injuries?"
Dharma protector Wei Qi pushed Dharma protector Yu Fan away.
The Dharma Protector Yufan once grabbed the Dharma Protector Weiqi.
Yufan, the guardian, said: "I am doing this for your own good. Look carefully at what Second Senior Sister is wearing today!"
Only then did Guardian Wei Qi see clearly what Guardian Coral was wearing today.
They often go out on missions, and the clothes they wear are specially made to cover up their body features.
Amber Protector is a woman, so she is more careful in this regard.
But when they were in the villa, they usually dressed very simply. They had training every day, so it would be a waste to wear any fine silk or satin.
But now, the Amber Guardian was wearing a white dress, with light gauze and thin silk, outlining her graceful figure. She also had an exquisite sachet tied around her slender waist, which exuded a faint fragrance.
It seems that Amber Guardian has dressed up carefully.
After the struggle just now, Amber Protector's clothes were a little messy. She lay on the ground with her beautiful legs and shoulders vaguely visible, which made people imagine a lot.
Protector Wei Qi blushed all of a sudden and turned away quickly.
Yufan: "Do you believe me now? I am doing this for your own good. If I hadn't intervened just now, Second Senior Sister would have been even angrier. Second Senior Sister's outfit is not for you and me to see. We are not allowed to see or touch it."
Weiqi: "But Senior Sister's injury..."
Yufan: "I helped secretly just now, and Senior Sister took some time off. Her condition is not that serious. She must have fainted due to anger. Besides, if she is injured, Third Senior Brother will naturally take care of her. Senior Sister should thank you and me for helping her."
Dharma Protector Yufan's words were ridiculous, but Dharma Protector Weiqi thought they made sense.
Weiqi: "But we can't let Senior Sister lie on the ground forever."
Yufan: "Don't worry, Third Senior Brother will be back soon."
Weiqi: "Junior sister is inside, why not let her help me get into the room. Otherwise, it will really damage my reputation."
Yufan: “Alright.”
After the two of them had agreed, they knocked on the door.
The three people in the room kept staring at each other.
The Coral Guardian was so tired that he collapsed on the ground.
Dharma Protector Yu Jue just nodded to Meng Xianyu. He didn't know what to say.
Meng Xianyu didn't want to say anything more.
Dharma Protector Yu Jue threw Dharma Protector Amber out and stopped the farce.
Meng Xianyu suddenly felt at peace. She also greeted the guardian Yu Jue in a good mood. Then she began to watch the fire again.
A few people occasionally looked at each other, then avoided each other's gaze awkwardly.
It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that the awkward stare-eye session finally came to an end.
Meng Xianyu just wanted to complete the task quickly, so she would wait a little longer according to the agreed time. If the Zhuji guardian didn't show up, she would leave first. But now the agreed time has not arrived yet, if she leaves without reason, the Zhuji guardian's efforts will be in vain.
You can't be so dishonest. Even if Meng Xianyu wanted to leave, she had to keep her promise.
As for the arrival of other people, it had nothing to do with her.
After the guardian Yufan came in, he first briefly explained the situation.
Afterwards, the others went out to help. They couldn't just leave the Amber Guardian there. They took the unconscious Amber Guardian away.
Only the Dharma Protector Yufan and Meng Xianyu were left. The Dharma Protector Yufan looked at Meng Xianyu curiously. Meng Xianyu couldn't ignore him. After all, the two of them had served as Dharma protectors for the High Priest together. They had fought side by side. Although they were not friends, they had some friendship.
