Chapter 878: Clingy Sprite

Chapter 878: Clingy Sprite

“Nonsense!” When Shangguan Wan heard this, she immediately retorted. “Why would the Tianling Power Staff do this out of nowhere? I’m of the Tianling royal family’s bloodline!”

Even if there were people who failed in picking the Tianling Power Staff up, we have never heard of the staff attacking anyone! Chu Liuyue’s words are a joke!

“Exactly. With your identity, why would the Tianling Power Staff do this to you?” Chu Liuyue smiled slightly and asked in return. “If I didn’t recall wrongly, the Tianling Power Staff seemed quite resistant toward you when you tried to pick it up just now.”

Just as Shangguan Wan was about to rage at Chu Liuyue, she was instantly stumped when she heard this. Her remaining words got stuck in her throat, and she felt very uncomfortable, but she couldn’t say a single word.

She instantly felt guilty, and her gaze became dodgy. Actually, she had also noticed this problem. Since the start, the Tianling Power Staff has been very rude to me and has shown no signs of becoming obedient. When I invited Senior to help me after that, it directly exploded and caused me to fly backward… Could it be because of this?

As she was furious just now, she scolded without a care. However, Chu Liuyue’s sentence instantly made her uncertain.

If it’s really because of this… She clenched her teeth and insisted on saying, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

The surrounding people’s gazes became incredulous. Chu Liuyue’s words make sense! When Shangguan Wan tried to hold the Tianling Power Staff in the beginning, it wasn’t successful, and there seemed to be something wrong… Even if she couldn’t lift the TIanling Power Staff up and receive its recognition, there is no need to attack her and cause her to roll down the nine flights of stairs… Is there really something wrong with Shangguan Wan?

“Y-you—don’t try to shirk responsibility! You clearly know about my face. It became like this because your fiend scratched it, yet you’re treating me in this way in public. Don’t you clearly want me to humiliate myself?!”

Seeing that things were going south, Shangguan Wan immediately changed her tune and retracted her vengeance and anger on her face. Then, she started crying as if she had been wronged.

Chu Liuyue sneered in her heart. You’re trying to make me your scapegoat? You have to see if I agree with it first!

“Third Princess, you’ve misunderstood me. When your face was scratched, I hadn’t even made an agreement with it, so it’s really not my fault. Besides, even though the trouble that Tuan Zi previously caused was unrelated to me, I felt bad and directly went into the palace to give you and His Majesty the blood of a legendary fiend once I came back. If I really dislike you, why would I do this?”

Chu Liuyue spoke lightly, and she looked sincere.

Shangguan Wan was so enraged that her chest heaved up and down as she widened her eyes. However, she couldn’t say a single word. I was the one who asked for the legendary fiend’s blood, but why did Chu Liuyue make it seem like she willingly gave it up? She’s lying through her teeth!

Though Shangguan Wan’s blood was boiling, she couldn’t retort. How can I admit in public that I forced Chu Liuyue to give out the blood of a legendary fiend?

Seeing Shangguan Wan’s stumped expression, quite a few people despised her in their hearts. Since it was a mistake that happened before they made an agreement, it naturally has nothing to do with Chu Liuyue. It’s already very rare for her to offer her help willingly, yet Shangguan Wan played the blame game! One can easily tell what their personalities are like!

At this point, Jiang Yucheng finally spoke. “Even if so, it’s true that you hurt the Third Princess. Hence, you must take responsibility for this.”

In front of the crowd, he naturally had to stand on Shangguan Wan’s side. Besides, he wasn’t even sure of Chu Liuyue’s identity now, let alone what she was planning. Thus, he was naturally very guarded.

Chu Liuyue glanced at the Tianling Power Staff. You cause even more trouble than me…

The Tianling Power Staff trembled undetectably.

“After this ends, I’ll naturally do what I have to do. But now… We can decide on the winner of this gamble, right?” said Chu Liuyue as she raised her arm and twisted her wrist.

Shua!

She held the Tianling Power Staff tightly in her hands and pointed the dragon head toward Jiang Yucheng.

Jiang Yucheng’s heart skipped a beat. For some reason, he felt anxious when facing that pair of golden dragon eyes. It was like… they could see through everything!

He instinctively averted his gaze and knitted his brows.

“I’ve already lifted this Tianling Power Staff up and received its recognition. Then…” Chu Liuyue dangerously squinted her eyes as her red lips curled up, but her eyes were cold and nonchalant. “Can we reinvestigate the Princess’s death?”

…

The large Lang Kun Hall was completely silent.

Chu Liuyue held the Tianling Power Staff up high, and its dragon eyes were burning brightly.

Everyone knew that Chu Liuyue had indeed won this bet. When they heard her mention the reinvestigation of the Princess’s death, quite a few of them had conflicted gazes.

Who would’ve thought such a grand and solemn ceremony would end up in this manner?

Almost everyone looked toward Shangguan Wan and Jiang Yucheng.

With everyone watching, they couldn’t go back on their words on the spot.

This time… They had to investigate!

Jiang Yucheng stared at Chu Liuyue closely and said after a while, “Okay! Since you’ve done it, then… The Third Princess and I will admit our defeat!”

The crowd broke into an uproar. This means he has agreed! They’re really going to reinvestigate the Princess’s death! Everything happened too quickly two years ago, and there are indeed many doubts. And now… Is it finally going to be checked clearly?

“Do you think there’s really something wrong with the Princess’s death? The Tianling Power Staff felt that the Princess died wrongfully, so it let Chu Liuyue succeed in exchange for this chance?”

“It can’t be… Wasn’t it already concluded back then? Even the Princess’s confidants didn’t really make much of a ruckus… If there’s really a problem, why would they take this lying down?”

“Why not? The Princess’s confidants from back then are either dead or injured now, especially the Thirteen Yue Guards, who are still being pursued. The remaining confidants are only a handful. If you must talk about it, only Mu Qinghe can still do something…”

“I think so too! If not, it really can’t explain how Chu Liuyue managed to lift the Tianling Power Staff! If she’s so persistent, was she one of the Princess’s people back then?”

The crowd discussed, and all sorts of guesses emerged.

Jiang Yucheng roughly heard what they said, and his heart was in a mess.

He looked at Chu Liuyue and boomed, “Put the Tianling Power Staff back onto the black Xuan stone first. We can talk about these things later.”

After all, this was a holy item of the Tianling Dynasty. Why should Chu Liuyue keep holding it in her hands? Especially when there’s an unkempt Shangguan Wan at the side!

The comparison was miserable—A joke!

Chu Liuyue’s eyebrows rose slightly. “Okay.”

Then, she flung her wrist.

The Tianling Power Staff rapidly flew out!

But not long after it flew out, the Tianling Power Staff suddenly changed its direction and flew back to stand in front of Chu Liuyue.

The dragon head lightly tapped the back of Chu Liuyue’s hand before it shook. It was as though it was fishing for a compliment. Hehe, I’m back again! Did you miss me?

The corner of Chu Liuyue’s lips twitched.
