Chapter 353
"Yes, that's what I said!"
"Since she has come back alive, why not treat this deception as a test for her? If we hadn't tricked her into being a sacrifice, she wouldn't have had such a great opportunity."
"Speaking of which, this is still a chance we give her."
"We didn't ask her to repay us, nor did we ask her to be grateful, but who would have thought that she would repay kindness with hatred? This is simply outrageous!"
"If I had known she was such a person, I would have let me be the sacrifice!"
"Yes, yes! If I had known he was such a person, I would have been the sacrifice! At least if I had gotten such a great bargain, such a good opportunity, such a great chance, and such a good fortune, I would never repay kindness with enmity and bear a grudge against the people in my clan for deceiving me in the first place."
With these shouts, more and more people felt that if they had been given such a great opportunity to become the guests of the National Master's Mansion and learn the magic from the people in the National Master's Mansion, they would have been willing to be deceived by the people in the tribe and become the sacrifice to die for everyone in the tribe.
only……
When someone really needed to stand up and serve as a sacrifice for everyone in the tribe, no one spoke up.
It can be seen that all of these are just hindsight.
If they could really go back to those days and make this choice again, they would not rush to do it like they do today.
The high priest looked at them as they tried to argue and be stubborn, with a cold smile on his face all the time.
He should have seen through these people's true colors long ago.
They are all hypocritical and look like dogs in human clothing.
It is really difficult to take on such a heavy responsibility.
It's ridiculous that he has become a nemesis with such a person.
No matter how much I dislike them, I have to lead these stupid teammates.
Seeing that this person was getting more and more outrageous, the high priest couldn't stand it any longer. He snorted coldly and asked, "If that's the case, if time could really go back and go back to the last time we selected sacrifices for the centennial sacrifice of the clan, would you be willing to stand up and go to the forbidden area in person to replace Sang Jingwan, so that all the tragedies happening now would never happen?"
After hearing this, everyone dared not say anything more.
Who knows if the high priest really has the ability to send them back to the past?
"Hehehe..." The high priest laughed sarcastically, as if he was mocking the hypocrisy of these people.
Everyone felt a little hurt in the spine by this laughter.
Everyone looked unhappy.
“What the high priest said…” The great elder licked his lips, looked around at everyone, and finally gritted his teeth and said, “If there really is a way to reverse time in this world, which can allow me to return to the day when Sang Jingwan was deceived by our Sang family and sent to the forbidden area to die, I will definitely be the first to stand up bravely and prevent all the tragedies from happening afterwards.”
"It's a pity that none of us knows the secrets of immortal arts."
"Even if I wanted to, I don't have the power to do so."
"If you have the will but not the ability, you will only end up with regrets."
He looked at the high priest and said, "Is this the truth?"
"Even so, the past should be left in the past..."
The Great Elder had no intention of waiting for the High Priest to speak, and just continued talking on his own, trying to change the subject.
But he was interrupted by the high priest's voice: "What does the great elder mean?"
He chuckled twice, with an ambiguous meaning: "If I really let you go back to the past, back to the time when Sang Jingwan was deceived by the entire Sang family and went to the forbidden area in despair, would you stand up and let her stay, and go to the forbidden area yourself to become a sacrifice for the entire family?"
Great Elder:...
He was suddenly speechless.
He was annoyed and secretly cursed the high priest's temper, which was really too stubborn.
It's all in the past, what's the point in discussing it anymore?
Can't we just go along with what he just said, downplay it, and not mention it again?
What's the point of dwelling on this matter?
Could it be that he really has the ability to go back in time, change everything that happened before, and save Sang Jingwan?
The high priest seemed to be determined to get a definite answer.
He laughed twice and looked directly at the man: "Is this what the Great Elder meant?"
Great Elder:...
How could he possibly mean that?
It's just a few nice words, to pretend and to save face.
Why do we have to be so serious about this?
It would be boring if you take it too seriously.
But he couldn't say these words from his heart no matter what.
He pretended to be very busy and kept looking at everyone.
I really hope that at this moment, someone can stand up and divert the high priest's full firepower.
There are so many people here, why do we have to focus on him alone?
Unfortunately, everyone lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
They were afraid that if they made the slightest noise, they would be chased by the high priest and questioned who it was.
"Why did the Great Elder suddenly stop talking?"
The high priest raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Didn't you just speak very loudly and indignantly?"
"Why do you seem mute now?"
"Could it be that the Great Elder really thinks that I have the power to turn back time and send you back to the past, so he doesn't dare to say it?"
Great Elder:...
It's pointless if you insist on exposing other people's shortcomings like this.
He pursed his lips, his face gloomy, and dared not speak out his anger.
Only now did he understand where the Second Elder's dislike for the High Priest came from.
If I had known this earlier, I would not have chased the second elder away.
Otherwise, there would be someone to take the firepower for him now.
Now, he has met such a stubborn person who refuses to listen to anything and is now in a very embarrassing situation for him.
After thinking it over again and again, the Great Elder thought, it's just a few words, he won't really let him go back, could it be that the High Priest really has this ability?
He didn't believe it anyway.
Thinking of this, the Great Elder was no longer panicked.
"It's not that I don't dare to say it."
The Great Elder pretended to be serious and pretentious: "I just think that there is really no need to worry about this matter. The High Priest really doesn't need to waste time on something that has already happened and will never change."
"So I don't want to waste my words and respond to you here."
"But the high priest can't accuse me of being scared just because I don't want to waste time talking more, right?"
"You are being irresponsible." "There are so many of us here, everyone is watching us."
"This is pure slander and dirt on my reputation!"
The great elder criticized the man.
Act as if you don't want to waste time at all and respond more often so as not to delay everyone's time to discuss things.
He was really pushed too hard by the high priest, so he had to respond.
If I don't respond, I'm afraid I'll be accused of all sorts of crimes.
Everyone was immediately enraged by the Great Elder's pretentious expression of grievance, and they all began to express their support.
"Yes! High Priest, weren't we discussing things properly at the beginning? Why are you suddenly harping on this matter and won't let it go?"
"This is not a big deal. Even if the Great Elder really expressed his loyalty and made some promises, we can't go back to the past, right?"
"What's the point of saying these things then?"
"Yeah, yeah, there's no point in talking about this other than wasting time."
Some people even started to make malicious speculations.
"The high priest suddenly kept harping on the words of the great elder. Could it be that he was deliberately trying to change the subject, divert our attention, and waste our time?"
"Are you hiding something from us? Or were all the things you said before false?"
The high priest sneered: "Why would I need to divert your attention and waste your time?"
"What else should I hide from you?"
"Or, what good will it do me if I tell a lie?"
"And I've said it from the beginning. You don't have to believe what I say. You can also go out and investigate after I finish speaking, and then judge whether what I said is true or false."
No one believed his words at all. Even though the high priest had a tough attitude, he did not seem to be as guilty as the great elder.
But what the Great Elder said was right... Whether he said those words or not, it would be of no help to the current situation.
What’s past is past. What’s the point in holding on to it?
They are just assuming that they could go back to the past and say a few nice words to alleviate the guilt in their hearts.
If they were really allowed to go back, even if they knew the ending, they might not have the courage to choose to replace Sang Jingwan and become the sacrifice to die for the entire Sang family.
After all, Sang Jingwan did have the opportunity to catch the eye of the Imperial Master's Mansion and had the good fortune to learn the secret arts and magic at the Imperial Master's Mansion, but that was only Sang Jingwan's opportunity.
Who can know if the same thing would happen again if they were there?
What if they go there and they won’t have the opportunity that Sang Jingwan has?
If things change, the result will be different. If they really go there, not only will they not have any opportunities, they will not be noticed by the Imperial Master's Mansion, and it will be impossible for them to practice any immortal magic. It is even possible that they will really die if they go.
Who would be willing to take that risk?
Just to gamble on the so-called opportunity?
It would be better to make friends with Sang Jingwan before she leaves, reveal the news to others, and establish a good relationship in advance.
When Sang Jingwan comes back, she may be hostile to other people but grateful to me. Then, I may be successful if I go to study with her again.
Since there is such a safe road, why take the risk and choose the most dangerous one?
So... it is really too ridiculous that the high priest is holding on to this and insisting that the great elder speak out.
There is absolutely no reason to rely on it!
What about the high priest, couldn’t he see what was in their hearts?
He sneered: "As for you saying that I am wasting my time... then I can only say that you are really stupid."
Everyone was suddenly scolded, and their faces immediately became even uglier.
They all clenched their fists, as if they were going to rush up and blow the high priest's head off if he didn't apologize to them.
"Why do you think I am holding on to this?"
"Are you just wasting time here?"
Everyone nodded.
Is not it?
"Ah!"
"ridiculous!"
The high priest laughed coldly a few times, and said in a mocking tone: "Otherwise, why would I say you are stupid?"
"You guys are really just being stupid here and don't even know it."
"The reason why I asked the Great Elder this question is naturally to solve the problem."
"Haven't you ever thought about this? If Sang Jingwan really can bring the dead back to life and regain youth, isn't it possible for her to go back in time?"
"Even if Sang Jingwan doesn't know these, what about the Imperial Master's Mansion?"
"Among their immortal magic techniques, is there a method to go back in time?"
"You don't even know this, so why are you so sure that this is impossible?"
The high priest sneered: "The reason why I asked the great elder is to solve the problem. If Sang Jingwan is really still alive, how can we resolve the grudge with him?"
"The best way is to go back in time to when she was deceived by us and take the initiative to stand up and die for her."
"Let's not worry about whether there is such a magic or not. If Sang Jingwan is really still alive and is found back, if we don't want to resolve the conflict with her, then forget it."
"But if we still want to make peace with others and eliminate the grudges of the past, this is an indispensable step."
"If that's the case, how can we eliminate it?"
The high priest chuckled a few times: "Actually, before this, I didn't know how to solve this problem."
"But the passionate words of the Great Elder just now really woke me up."
"Since the feud started with deception, why not resolve it by erasing the deception?"
"As for what you said about it being impossible to go back to the past...why do you bother with this?"
"As long as you are sincere enough and determined, if there is a day when you can go back to the past, you will definitely die in place of Sang Jingwan without hesitation. That will be enough."
Everyone is puzzled.
"I really don't understand what the high priest said."
“Why is it enough for us to just have this intention?”
"If there is no way to turn back time, then everything we say, no matter how sincere and resolute we are, is just empty talk without any basis, let alone sincerity."
"Even if I tell Sang Jingwan, she probably won't believe it at all."
"It's even more impossible for him to really forgive us."
"If not, then weren't there enough words we said sincerely back then?"
"But you see, is there anything she actually listened to?"
"She didn't care about these false words before, so does she care and believe them now?"
"The high priest is taking things for granted a little too much."
The high priest sneered: "Am I taking it for granted or are you too stupid to understand such a simple truth?"
"You might as well think about it carefully again."
