Blue dragon whale grotto-heaven, Merfolk Sacred City.
In a room of an inn, the atmosphere was heavy.
"What do we do?"
"In the next test, Zhao Lu's follower is about to go up. That person is famous in the sea, with him, we have no chance of winning. "
The two nannies had gloomy expressions.
White-scaled mermaid Su Yi sat on the main seat, holding a cup as she looked at the tea in a daze.
"Missy, we can't hesitate anymore."
"That's right, the Sea God Ceremony has been going on for so long, only us and Zhao Lu's side are left, everyone else has been eliminated. And after the next test, it will be the final test. As long as we can overcome this obstacle, we will be able to fight for the saintess throne. "
The two nannies urged anxiously.
Su Yi sighed: "But what can we do?"
The nannies quickly took a step forward and stood in front of Su Yi.
"Missy, didn't our clan also invite an expert that can match the other side?"
"That's right, as long as we invite this expert, although we might not win, the gap will not be so big that we will be eliminated."
Su Yi stared at the tea in the cup, sighing deeply: "I understand the two nannies' suggestions. But there is one thing you may have forgotten. I only have four follower slots for the saintess competition, we have already taken all of them. Even if the clan invites an expert, we can't take them out. "
The two nannies looked at each other, bright light flashed in their eyes.
"So that's it, missy already had this plan, but she could not say it." They immediately understood.
Nanny Rong said softly: "Missy, this matter is hard to say, but it is also easy to say. We just need to abandon one of the followers! "
"That's right." The other nanny said: "According to the rules of the Sea God Ceremony, followers cannot be abandoned. But as long as one of them is tainted by corruption, favoritism, crimes, etc., for the purity of the Sea God Ceremony and the saintess, we can expel him. Won't the empty slots be used for the expert invited by the clan? "
Su Yi's expression changed as she rejected: "That's not appropriate. Causing such a scandal during such an important ceremony like the Sea God Ceremony would stain the reputation of the person involved for the rest of his life, and he would never be able to clear his name. Including you four followers, all of you have helped me a lot. How can I repay kindness with enmity? "
"My Young Miss, those who achieve great things don't bother with trifles. What's a little sacrifice?"
"I suggest we start with that Charlene. Her foundation is shallow, it is obvious that she is a little mermaid that no one likes, who knows what kind of luck she had to obtain rank five gather oil Gu. " Seeing Su Yi's unhappy expression, Granny Rong immediately added, "Of course, we're not framing you. Instead, she used reason and emotion, Xia Lin looked like a reasonable lady. Eldest Miss, why don't you let me handle this matter? I'll talk to her. It's fine even if I have to pay a price. Compared to the position of the Saintess, everyone knows which is more important! "
"This …" Su Yi hesitated.
Another granny immediately added: "Eldest Miss, we are not forcing Xia Lin, nor are we trying to harm her. This is a cooperation between us. Speaking of which, what is reputation? Xia Lin is a poor child, she cares more about material things. It is very likely that she heard our thoughts and is very happy, she wants to make a deal with us, losing some reputation in exchange for huge benefits! "
"Leave, let me think about it …" Su Yi's brows furrowed as she ordered them to leave.
The two grannies looked at each other before leaving.
A few days later, rumors about Xia Lin had spread far and wide.
"It's her, that shameless mermaid, she betrayed Su Yi, who was her benefactor, in order to cling to riches!"
"No wonder Lady Su Yi was always at a disadvantage, to think that there was a traitor."
"I really want to skin this despicable person alive!"
"She still has the face to look for Su Yi! She is truly shameless. "
Xia Lin pursed her lips as she walked up the inn's stairs under everyone's pointing fingers.
"Stop." Halfway through, mermaid Granny Rong stopped Xia Lin with a cold expression.
"I was wronged, I want to see Sister Su Yi!" Xia Lin raised her head and looked at Granny Rong with an anxious expression.
Granny Rong sneered: "Xia Lin, what are you trying to do? Eldest Miss is very sad because of what happened to you. You still want to see Eldest Miss Su Yi at this crucial moment of the Sea God Ceremony? You are truly vicious, are you trying to disgust our Eldest Miss so that we will perform poorly? "
"It's not like that, Granny Rong, listen to me …"
"What else do you want to say? What is there to say! You shameless scum, we were blind to have taken you in. Scram! "Granny Rong lost her patience, her tone was sharp and overbearing.
"You don't believe me, but I believe Sister Su Yi. I won't leave without seeing her! "Xia Lin's eyes turned red and flickered with a stubborn light.
"Are you forcing me to make a move?" Granny Rong said ruthlessly.
"Stop." At this moment, Su Yi finally appeared, she floated down the stairs.
"Sister Su Yi!" Xia Lin was overjoyed, she wanted to walk up but was stopped by Granny Rong.
"Xia Lin …" Su Yi looked at Xia Lin with a complicated tone.
"Sister Su Yi, you must believe me, I am not someone who betrayed you!" Xia Lin argued.
"Do you need us to investigate?" At this moment, a group of mermen barged into the first floor of the inn, attracting everyone's attention.
This group of mermen walked to Xia Lin: "Xia Lin, right? I am Sacred City's investigator, someone reported you for taking bribes, betraying Su Yi, attempting to taint the sacred Sea God Ceremony, and manipulating the saintess selection. We are here to arrest you. Come with us and tell us everything. "
"No, I am innocent!" Xia Lin's face turned pale from fright, she retorted loudly.
"Whether you are innocent or not, we will have to wait for the results of our investigation." The investigator's expression was cold.
"No, I will not go with you, I was framed, someone framed me!" Xia Lin was terrified, she kept shaking her head.
"You don't want to go with us? Hmph, that is not up to you! Men, bring her back! "The investigator ordered as the merman Gu Masters behind him moved.
"Wait." At this time, Su Yi spoke.
"Sister Su Yi!" Xia Lin's eyes shined with hope.
But Su Yi shook her head: "Sister Xia Lin, I do not believe you would betray me. But now that the investigator is here, we need to believe in Sacred City's justice! I firmly believe that they will prove your innocence. Go with them, as long as we get the results of the investigation, it will prove your innocence, right? "
"Sister Su Yi …" The light in Xia Lin's eyes dimmed.
"Go, go."
Xia Lin lowered her head, walking to the investigator: "I was framed, but I will go with you."
The investigator showed a satisfied smile: "That's right, let's go."
Xia Lin was quickly brought to the interrogation room.
"These information path Gu worms are solid evidence, take a good look at them. Let me give you a piece of advice, don't have any wishful thinking!" The investigator smiled sinisterly, pointing at the information path mortal Gu on the only table in the room.
Xia Lin looked at them with her divine sense.
Soon, a look of intense shock appeared on her face. "These images and voices are all fake. I've never said such a thing!"
"You want to explain yourself like this in front of this evidence? Who would believe you?! "The investigator sneered.
"I definitely did not say such a thing! I … "Xia Lin was anxious.
The invigilator raised his hand and stopped Xia Lin from arguing. He laughed: "I know you were wronged."
Xia Lin was stunned: "What, what did you say?"
"You were wrongly accused," the invigilator repeated.
Xia Lin was dazed, she blinked her eyes before saying: "In that case, why did you …"
"Because this is Lady Su Yi's request." The investigator smiled again.
"What do you mean? Don't try to sow discord! "Xia Lin shouted angrily.
"You are really naive, young lady. Then I'll have a good talk with you. Do you know who Lady Su Yi's father is? Do you know what the current situation is like in the Sea God Ceremony … "
The invigilator spoke slowly, his words made Xia Lin's jaw drop.
After a long while, she reacted: "I don't believe that this is all Sister Su Yi's scheme! Since she wants me to abdicate, I will do so. As long as she tells me, I will not reject her. "
The investigator looked at Xia Lin mockingly and retorted mercilessly: "Do you think the Sea God Ceremony is something you can withdraw from as you wish? If everyone can withdraw as they wish, then the competition for the saintess position would be purely a competition of family background and power. There is only one situation, the follower will be forced to withdraw, at the same time, his or her position will be empty, and someone else can be inserted. "
Xia Lin said in a daze: "It's my situation …"
The investigator smiled: "That's right. Have you become smarter? Alright, there are two paths in front of you now. The first path is to deny the evidence and insist that you are innocent. Of course, the evidence cannot be erased, no one will believe you. "
"The second path is to cooperate with us. If you plead guilty, although your reputation will be damaged, we will still give you ample compensation. You can choose one. "
Xia Lin smiled bitterly and lowered her head.
Did she even have a choice?
The other party tricked her into the interrogation room, such a scene was to prevent her from rejecting.
Even if she refused, she would be framed and convicted of a crime.
She did not have the power to resist, much less the right to reject!
Silence.
After a long silence.
The investigator spoke softly: "Xia Lin, if you don't speak, I will take it that you chose the second path. The truth is right in front of us, I believe that smart people will make this choice. This is beneficial to both of us, isn't it? "
"I refuse." Xia Lin suddenly raised her head and said.
