Silence was restored at the entrance.
The Calm Peace Divine King and the High Priest were at a stalemate.
The High Priest didn't want to reveal his identity, and he didn't want others to know that Yingying was his daughter.
The Calm Peace Divine King was stubborn, as if he wasn't going to let him in if he didn't explain himself.
Therefore, this misunderstanding was hard to resolve.
The High Priest was helpless, so he pestered the Calm Peace Divine King for a while, and he even admitted defeat.
But the Calm Peace Divine King refused to believe him, and refused to let him in.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
The High Priest was livid, and there were several times when he thought of beating up the Calm Peace Divine King.
In the end, he was forced to his wit's end, and he recalled what Ji Tianxing said to him.
"You're not worthy to be her father, you're heartless and selfish …"
Therefore, the High Priest gritted his teeth and finally revealed his true identity.
"Sir, will you only let me in if I reveal my identity?"
He frowned at the Calm Peace Divine King, and his tone was solemn.
The Calm Peace Divine King quickly shook his head, and said seriously, "I'm not letting you in, I'm telling you who ordered us to guard this place."
"..." The High Priest almost vomited blood.
For Yingying, I'll endure!
Taking a deep breath, the High Priest forcefully suppressed his anger, and said solemnly, "I'm the High Priest guarding the Fortune Divine Palace, and I have an Emperor's Mandate, so I can't leave the Fortune Divine Palace.
But I have a daughter named Yingying, and she needs to be raised and taught.
Therefore, I asked my good friend, Chief Commandant Yan, to … "
The High Priest explained the ins and outs of the matter to the Calm Peace Divine King.
This was his biggest secret, and if he hadn't been forced to this extent, he definitely wouldn't have confessed.
Sure enough, the Calm Peace Divine King revealed a shocked expression after hearing the story.
He looked at the High Priest in disbelief, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence.
"Is this true? This is unbelievable!
Young Miss Yingying is so young and beautiful, how could her father be an old man? "
"..." The High Priest's expression changed, and he clenched his fists, gnashing his teeth in anger.
If he wasn't worried about Yingying's safety, he would have already lost his temper.
For Yingying, this old man will endure!
"Sir, now you should tell this old man, who sent you to guard this place?"
The Calm Peace Divine King hesitated for a moment before replying, "It's our family's Eldest Young Master Yuwen. He's worried about Miss Yingying's safety, so he ordered us to stand guard here and forbid random people from approaching.
At this critical moment, he will not allow Miss Yingying to be harmed in any way! "
The Calm Peace Divine King spoke in a righteous tone.
The High Priest was stunned for a moment, and his expression eased up a lot. He nodded and said, "So it's him! Sure enough, I didn't misjudge him. He's a guy with a cold face but a warm heart.
Although he said some unpleasant words, he was actually most concerned about Yingying.
It must have been hard on him to put in so much effort for Yingying … "
At this moment, the High Priestess was moved.
However, he always remembered that business was more important and time was of the essence.
Therefore, he explained to Calm Peace Divine King, "Tonight, Yuwen Ji personally informed me. Only then did I know that Ying Ying was terminally ill, so I hurried back to visit her.
Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, you should let us pass now, right? "
The Calm Peace Divine King frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Senior, although I can understand your anxious feelings, this is against the rules. We cannot act on our own.
Please wait for a moment, I have to send a message to the eldest young master. "
With that, he took out a communication jade slip and calmly sent a message.
"…" The High Priest was about to explode from anxiety.
However, the previous hour was already delayed, so he was in no hurry.
He could only nod his head to express his understanding.
After the Calm Peace Divine King sent a message to 'Yuwen Ji', everyone waited patiently.
After a full seven minutes, 'Yuwen Ji' sent a message back, confirming the High Priest's identity and allowing them to pass.
After reading the jade slip, the Calm Peace Divine King revealed a warm smile to the High Priest. He cupped his fists and said, "Senior, the eldest young master has already confirmed this matter with me.
We misunderstood you before and caused some unpleasantness. Please be magnanimous and forgive us for our transgressions.
Since you have returned, our mission has been completed. We will take our leave now … "
"Alright, alright. Don't waste time." The High Priest did not fall for his tricks and hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt him.
The Calm Peace Divine King did not stop him and hurriedly retreated to the side with a few guards.
The High Priest impatiently cast a spell and activated the sealing array on the door. Soon, the door opened.
"Creak …"
After the heavy door opened, the High Priest hurriedly stepped over the door and quickly walked into the courtyard.
The Calm Peace Divine King gave a look to the guards, and everyone hurriedly retreated into the darkness and quietly left.
But at this moment, a dazzling five-colored divine light sped over from the end of the street.
"Swish!"
In the blink of an eye, the five-colored divine light arrived at the entrance of Xin Lan Court.
The divine light dissipated, revealing a nobleman youth dressed in a brocade robe.
This person was panting, and it was obvious that he had rushed over at his fastest speed.
He looked around and his gaze gathered on the High Priest. He hurriedly waved his hand and shouted, "Senior, please wait!"
The High Priest stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the nobleman with a puzzled expression.
"Who are you? What's the matter? "
The nobleman sized up the High Priest and thought to himself, Age, appearance, and attire are all the same as Yuwen Ji said. It should be him.
Thus, he hurriedly flew in front of the High Priest and bowed. "Senior, I am Jun Mubai, Yuwen Ji's good brother."
"Why is it Yuwen Ji again?" The High Priest furrowed his brows and asked unhappily, "I don't know you. Why are you looking for me?"
The smile on Jun Mubai's face froze, and he muttered to himself, This old man looks very impatient. It seems like he already knows why I'm here.
Hmph! You're a high-level Divine King, but you can't even bear to part with a few King level divine artifacts. How stingy!
Jun Mubai cursed in his heart, but he still smiled and explained patiently, "Senior, you're wrong! Although you don't know me, I know you.
You're Yuwen Ji's father-in-law, right? "
"…" The High Priest's face twitched, and he inexplicably wanted to beat Yuwen Ji up.
However, he could neither admit nor deny this kind of thing.
Therefore, he could only reply vaguely, "Mm."
Jun Mubai smiled and rubbed his hands. He said expectantly, "You should have prepared the three King level divine artifacts, right?"
"What? Three King level divine artifacts? "The High Priest furrowed his brows, confused." What do you mean? "
"Uh …" Jun Mubai was speechless. He thought to himself, This old man is not going to go back on his word, is he?
