I was killed by domestic violence, and I went crazy with barrage

Chapter 337

The high priest's voice was as cold as ice: "Of course I haven't forgotten!"

How could he possibly forget the humiliation brought to him by those people in Marquis Jiang's Mansion?

"Okay! Since you said you didn't forget, why are you speaking up for Sang Jingwan's daughter now?"

The second boss said sternly: "You were not like this before. Why did your attitude change so drastically after you went to Jiang'an County?"

"What benefits did Sang Jingwan's daughter give you?"

"Is that why you betrayed us in just a few days?"

"you say!"

"Say it!"

The high priest glared at the people, but the second elder showed no fear.

I swear I won't stop until everyone tells me the truth.

"I was not bribed by Sang Jingwan's daughter, nor did I take any benefits from her."

The high priest shook his robe and said proudly, "The reason why I advised everyone to put this matter aside for the time being and find another way instead of pinning hopes on Sang Jingwan's daughter is because the situation is pressing."

"I am also thinking about everyone."

"I hope everyone can understand my painstaking efforts."

He said in a deep voice: "Since I am the high priest of the Sang family, I will naturally share the honor and disgrace, life and death with the Sang family! Anyone can betray the Sang family, but I will never betray them!"

"The high priest doesn't need to continue speaking these empty words and nonsense here."

The second elder sneered: "Who can't shout slogans?"

"I also said that I would never betray the Sang family!"

"I can also say that the Sang family and I share honor and disgrace, life and death together."

"It's just talk."

"Who can't say it?"

"Especially, when we were plotting against Sang Jingwan, you, me, him, everyone present, who didn't say something like this?"

"It's fine to fool others, but there's no need to fool everyone, right?"

"Or has the high priest told so many lies like this that he has even started to believe them?"

"Do you really think you are a good person?"

The second elder sneered and said, "Speak nicely and respectfully. We will respect you as the high priest."

"But if I put it bluntly, and it really comes to the point of tearing our relationship apart, you are nothing but a humiliating waste who was treated like a dog by the servants of the Marquis Jiang'an Mansion in front of us!"

The second elder cursed with many nasty words.

The high priest clenched his fists and almost lost his expression.

The Great Elder then spoke slowly, trying to mediate the dispute: "Second Brother, don't say such harsh words."

"Perhaps the high priest really has some difficulties."

"Why don't we just calm down and listen to what the other person has to say, what do you think?"

He first gave the second elder a mild reprimand before turning his attention to the high priest.

He said earnestly, "High Priest, don't blame the Second Brother for speaking harshly. We had agreed at the beginning that this time we went out to find Sang Jingwan's daughter."

"Let's just speak frankly and stop saying those empty words."

"We went to great lengths to find Sang Jingwan's daughter. Of course, it's not to reconcile with her."

"There's absolutely no need for that."

"It's meaningless to be so sanctimonious here and say things that are against your will."

"Why do we need to bring him back? You and I both know it very well."

"No one needs to say nice things at this time, just be a good person."

"Besides, the person is not here. No matter how well you pretend, no one will notice. Why bother?"

The Great Elder directly tore off everyone's fig leaf: "The Second Elder was right in one thing. When we were plotting against Sang Jingwan, who among us didn't say a few words that were against our will and deserved to be struck by lightning?"

"Since the deed has already been done, there is really no point in trying to make amends or establish a good persona now."

The great elder first said a lot of ugly words, and then, like a good old man, he spoke words of understanding.

"I believe that the high priest must have gained something from this trip, rather than making such a decision for no reason, which chills the hearts of all of us, right?"

The great elder looked at the high priest with a hint of threat in his eyes.

I hope the other party won’t be ungrateful.

Since he has been given a way out, he might as well take advantage of it.

Don't end up arousing public anger.

By then, he would even lose the dignity of being a high priest.

"The high priest, if you have anything to say, please speak directly."

"We are all easy to talk to. As long as your reasons are sufficient and can convince us, we are not unreasonable people."

In other words, if the high priest cannot make any statement today and cannot convince these people, then don't blame them for not remembering their friendship and turning against them.

"Is the Great Elder really willing to listen to me?"

The high priest looked down at the great elder somewhat condescendingly.

The Great Elder raised his eyebrows, glanced at the other elders, and comforted the Second Elder, signaling him to stay calm, before saying, "Of course!"

He seemed to be testing: "From what the high priest said, it seems that he made this decision suddenly after returning from this trip. Is there really another hidden reason?"

The high priest hummed and did not speak directly.

It seems like there are some other considerations.

His behavior made the great elders and others anxious.

This old guy is always acting weird, could it be that he discovered something?
You must tell them then!!

If they were kept in the dark again, wouldn't they have to go through what happened to Sang Jingwan again, and be caught off guard and unprepared, and be caught off guard by those people, and the entire family would almost lose their lives.

But at this moment, the high priest remained very calm.

Even though the First Elder and the Second Elder said so many unpleasant things, they still failed to anger him or make him anxious.

But the more patient he was, the more impatient the Great Elder and the others became.

The second elder is especially impatient.

Seeing that the high priest didn't speak for a long time, he turned around anxiously, pulling his hair, looking extremely annoyed.

"What do you know? Tell me now."

"Isn't it enough that I believe you have a hidden agenda now? Are you trying to drive someone crazy?"

"Or do you have no secret at all? Are you just being mysterious here to buy time?"

The second elder was both suspicious and provocative.

A normal person would be anxious if they heard something like this, right?
But the high priest was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.

No matter what you say to him, he doesn't respond.

Anyone with an impatient personality would be driven crazy by his slow approach.

"If you are really willing to listen to me calmly, then please ask me again."

The high priest was very patient, he took out the tea set slowly and started to make tea in front of everyone. No matter how anxious others were, he was not in a hurry.

"Given the state you are in now, I dare not easily tell you even if I really have some news."

"Otherwise, who knows, if I tell you, will you accuse me of some unfounded crime and call for my death?"

"My temper is not as good as the Great Elder's. I can listen to so many gossips and unpleasant words and still remain calm and even try to smooth things over without blushing or getting nervous."

"Even the fact that we all begged for our lives like dogs under the intimidation of the powerful was used by the Second Elder as an attack on me."

"I'm really afraid that once I say this, you'll get angry and say something unpleasant to me."

"I am a very petty person, even though I look calm and indifferent now, as if I don't care at all."

"Actually..."

The high priest chuckled a few times: "I care too much about it."

"I don't just care! I hate you all in my heart. I hate you to death."

"The words are lighthearted and pleasant, and they don't expose people's shortcomings when they are scolding them."

"You all are well-educated. You all just try to hit people where it hurts."

"I don't know how you guys let go of that past, but I haven't let it go at all."

"Now that you guys bring it up again, I feel depressed and naturally don't want to say anything anymore."

The high priest's words made everyone's faces change, and they saw annoyance in each other's eyes.

"Then according to the High Priest, what exactly do we need to do in order for him to speak clearly and understand his words?"

"Yes! What do you want? Just draw the line!"

"No matter whether we are going to follow it in the end, or just tear each other apart and not follow it... you have to give us a set of rules, right?"

The second elder had a gloomy face and was very annoyed: "You can't just say a bunch of nonsense like this and still let us guess in the end, right?"

"Then how do we know what you want to hear?"

As always, the Great Elder waited for the Second Elder to finish expressing his dissatisfaction before speaking in a kindly tone, "High Priest, don't blame him for his unpleasant words. In fact, what he said does make some sense."

"It's true, but the words are true. High Priest, please understand us a little more."

"We are all uneducated and rough people. We don't like to beat around the bush when we talk. We just say whatever we want to say. If there is any offense, I am here to apologize on their behalf."

"Besides, it's not that we want to be harsh, it's really..."

The Great Elder paused and laughed twice: "High Priest, you have to be reasonable, right?"

"You said that when you came back, you didn't tell us anything. We were all in the dark!"

"Then I heard you say that we should give up looking for Jiang An Ning to come back..."

The great elder paused, raised his head and looked at the high priest: "It's not that we have to find Jiang Ning to come back, but the fact is that the hundred-year sacrifice is just around the corner. If you and I don't find her and let her complete what her mother didn't complete, then who will be the sacrifice for this hundred-year sacrifice?"

"High Priest, are you?"

"If the high priest is willing to lead by example, we will naturally have nothing to say."

"But now..." The Great Elder looked at him and said, "Excuse me, High Priest, are you willing to replace Jiang Anning and be the sacrifice?"

"As long as you, the High Priest, say what you want to say now, we will naturally have nothing to say."

"how?"

The words of the great elder were quickly supported by others.

To put it bluntly, they don't care much about who is offering sacrifices.

As long as it wasn't any of them, that would be enough.

"I will not go."

As soon as the high priest finished speaking, anger instantly appeared on everyone's faces.

He won't go, and he doesn't let Jiang An Ning go, so doesn't that mean he has to let them go?

dream!

Where can such a good thing exist?
He took all the advantages!

"The high priest himself doesn't want to go, and he doesn't want you, Jiang Anning, to go either. Could it be that he wants us to go?"

As soon as the Second Elder said this, someone who was even more impatient than him immediately said, "You don't want Jiang Anning to die, and you don't want to die either, so you plan to let us die?"

"We have supported you for many years and worship you as the high priest, but we don't want you to bully us here and kill us!"

"Do you really think that just because we respectfully call you the High Priest, you are such an important person?"

"Stop dreaming!"

"Who doesn't know now that ever since we separated from Sang Jingwan, the Sang family has been abandoned by the gods!"

"Without the favor of the gods, who would need you to communicate with them?"

“Can you communicate?”

"There should always be a limit to self-deception."

"I think we were all too nice to you in the past."

"It makes you, like Sang Jingwan, have thoughts that you shouldn't have."

"But Sang Jingwan relied on her own abilities. Even if we are dissatisfied, we have to admit that she is indeed confident."

"You have to obey even if you don't like it!"

"But you, who are you?"

"You don't have Sang Jingwan's skills, but you want to compete with others."

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself to see if you are worthy!"

The situation suddenly became tense.

This time, the Great Elder hid himself and did not come out to mediate between either side.

The high priest chuckled.

"So I just said that if you can't listen to me calmly, you can't talk to me calmly either. I really can't say this today."

"You all think that I am either just thinking about it or I was bribed by Jiang Anning."

"Anyway, I'm putting this here!"

"I will not be a sacrifice for the Centennial Ceremony. Jiang Anning will not go either, and cannot go!"

"Of course, if you insist on seeking death, I will follow you!"

"Anyway, I've already given all the advice I need. It's up to you whether you listen or not."

The high priest smiled and said, "As for the reason, hehe——"

"If you really want to know, why not wait until you calm down and ask me the reason."

After saying this, he ignored the Great Elder and the others, stood up and walked out, leaving everyone standing there looking at each other in helplessness and fury.

"What does he mean?"

The second elder was furious: "What does he mean by this!!"

"Do you really think of yourself as a thing?"

"Lawless and arrogant!"

"It's simply -- outrageous!"
