Chapter 1508: The Lord’s Arrival (5)
Even though I did not agree with this principle of his, I was unable to stop him. Before The Lord withdrew in isolation, he had ordered me to assist Celestial Master Zuo, emphasizing that he was the one chosen by the heavens and that I was to obey him in all things. That is why I have never questioned his actions and only passed on some of my spells to him, but I had never expected that he was a counterfeit..."
Fairy Queen Li was adept at oratory and managed to redirect all the blame away from her and even drag The Lord down to this matter.
She had her own calculations in mind as well. Although she had stayed by the fake Celestial Master Zuo’s side a lot of the time, the evils that they committed were through his command while she stayed silent. Therefore, in the public’s perception, she was no more than his valuable and trusty ornament whom they never saw being guilty of any sins.
Since the masses did not know the truth and were in deep reverence to The Lord, they had naturally held her in veneration. After hearing her speech, the crowd only looked at each other and did not refute her words.
Di Fuyi laughed. Although his smile was light, his gaze was piercingly sharp. "I will personally investigate into this matter myself. If you had done it, well, good luck trying to escape; if you hadn’t, you’ll naturally be set free. But let’s leave this aside for now. You claimed that you were The Lord’s wife? Do you know what’s the punishment for impersonating the wife of The Lord?"
Fairy Queen Li stammered for a while and said, "I am the wife of The Lord as bona fide as she gets! What are you insinuating with the mention of impersonation!"
"Who made you the wife of The Lord? Who do you have to back you up?" Di Fuyi folded his arms.
"This... Of course, I have The Lord himself to back me up! Why do I need to prove my marriage with him? If you need a witness that badly, why don’t you summon The Lord himself to testify!?" Fairy Queen Li raised her head high.
