"What's wrong?" Jiang Ke'er blushed, "We are very... close, and I am the husband!"

"No, no," Luya thought hard, "Logically speaking, you two have been through life and death together, and have gone through so many storms together, so you should be close and have a deep connection with each other. But when I look at you, I always feel that you... seem to have never opened your heart to her?"

"That's impossible." Jiang Ke'er denied it without hesitation.

"Ah, my..." Lu Ya grabbed her head in pain. "Although I have met hundreds of times more people than you have eaten salt, this is the first time I have met someone as weird as you... Why do you look so complicated? I feel bad for Qiao Xiaoxian."

"You think too much~"

After the treatment, Jiang Keer injected the last bit of energy needed for the day into Luya's body, chuckled, withdrew her hand, and stopped the energy transfer.

Jiang Keer stood up lightly and prepared to leave.

"Don't run!"

But Luya suddenly grabbed Jiang Keer's sleeve.

Her eyes were different, and even had a hint of subconscious majesty and intimidation.

"Let me ask you again, do you really like Qiao Xiaoxian?"

142. Forcing the Emperor to Abdicate

Do you like Qiao Xiaoxian?

Jiang Ke'er didn't need to think about this kind of question at all, and she didn't have any doubts at all.

"Boss, you really don't have to worry so much. I'm not a child. I know what's going on."

Jiang Ke'er bowed slightly to Luya: "Have a good rest, I'll leave first."

"No! Wait a minute!"

However, this time Luya held her tightly, and the suspicion in her smart eyes became more and more intense: "You really didn't use the power of the stars in your body? Tell the truth! Don't lie to me!"

"Really not." Jiang Ke'er remained calm.

"...Are you also a ruthless person who can lie without changing your expression? No, you are!" Lu Ya was very distressed. "I am very weak now and cannot stop you, but you should at least consider Qiao Xiaoxian, right?"

"You really think too much," Jiang Ke'er said helplessly, "I will never do anything to hurt Qiao Xiaoxian. If succumbing to the power of the ancient god will hurt Qiao Xiaoxian, then I won't do it..."

"Really?"

"real."

"Ah..." Luya sat down weakly, "I don't know which of your words are true and which are false."

"It's all true."

"You..." Luya swept the bamboo mat in the room, her figure showing a bit of dejection, "Don't think I'm really stupid..."

Jiang Keer raised her eyes slightly.

"No, you are really stupid."

After saying that, she slipped away.

Luya's face fell at first, but after seeing Jiang Ke'er's hurriedly fleeing back, she smiled bitterly: "Well, at least you can still make a joke. It seems that Epsilon hasn't done anything to you yet..."

**********

Lord Li was bent over his desk and could see the tall spire of the Hanlin Academy through the window.

Whenever there was a new breakthrough, the scholars would excitedly climb to the top of the tower and cheer. Even Lord Li would often feel happy when he saw that.

But he was in no mood to appreciate it today.

His desk was piled with blue-gray documents.

Blue-gray, that is not an ordinary color.

This is a letter of condemnation and a list of crimes.

In order to facilitate the emperor's review, different types of memorials were represented by different colors.

But now, the table in front of him, and even the ground beside him, were only left with the color "blue-gray".

When he opened his eyes, he saw densely packed letters of condemnation.

It has been like this every day since the day the Jiexian Palace was bombed until now.

[I hope Your Majesty will quickly defeat the demon Jiang Ke'er! ]

[The people of Jiuzhou will never coexist with the devil! ]

[The crimes of the demons are too numerous to list! Countless villages have been massacred in the cities of the southeast, and the people are in panic! If we don’t take action now, I’m afraid... the country will be in danger! ]

"Have you already started to threaten me with the country?" Lord Li's face turned pale. "It seems that in a few days, what will fly over here is an impeachment letter."

"His Majesty!"

"The Minister of the Supreme Court, the Minister of War, the Governor of Jingzhou... request an audience!"

There were knocks on the door.

Lord Li couldn't help but feel angry.

Where are the guards at the door? How could they allow such a rowdy crowd?

He walked to the door with a stern face.

The door opened by itself.

He hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and the midday sun shining on his face made his pupils shrink slightly.

"You are really something." He laughed angrily, "Are you trying to force the emperor to abdicate?"

He looked around and saw that the people in front of him were just the Dali Temple officials who were reporting.

Hundreds of officials were kneeling densely packed under the stage. They were silent, with their hands raised above their heads.

And in the palm of his hand, there was a blue-gray memorial.

Letter of condemnation.

He knew who the evil name in the document belonged to.

Although he had deliberately ignored those memorials, they seemed to have understood his thoughts and delivered the memorials to him personally.

What's even more tragic is that this time, even his closest and most trusted ministers did not stand on his side.

Even half of them are demons who have fought side by side.

"You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Your Majesty, you have been deceived by Jiang Ke'er. We have all been deceived."

The mighty bear general's face was covered with tears as he knelt in front of Lord Li with a deep voice.

Lord Li helped him up in silence.

He knew that this bear general had absolutely no selfish motives. He had always admired Jiang Ke'er. When he learned that Jiang Ke'er was a demon, he felt as upset as he did.

"We can't believe the rumors about Jiang Ke'er," Lord Li looked at the ministers and said thoughtfully, "Jiang Ke'er has too many enemies, so it's inevitable that she was framed. Since Jiexian Palace also knows her identity as a demon, it's possible that they staged it themselves."

"Your Majesty, the evidence is irrefutable." The bear general gritted his teeth and said, "When I first knew that Jiang Ke'er was a demon, I was still optimistic, thinking that the demon might not be irreconcilable... But now, all the disasters in Shenzhou point to the demon, and Jiang Ke'er's actions are indeed consistent with the demon's motives."

"If we continue to let her live in China and cause chaos, I'm afraid that sooner or later we will be devoured by the demons!"

"..."

Lord Li didn't know what to say.

Nowadays, cannibalism incidents are happening everywhere, causing panic among the people in Shenzhou. Although it is impossible to directly prove that this was done by Jiang Keer, it is indeed related to Tianmo's "Shenzhou Neighborhood Committee".

There were traces of their presence at all the places where the accidents happened, so even if this was a dirty frame-up, they would have no way of defending themselves.

Secondly, regarding the razing of the Jiexian Palace, it has been confirmed that it was Jiang Keer who was responsible... But the unrest in Shenzhou had finally been quelled, and as soon as Jiang Keer appeared, she blew up the human race's holy land again, causing the human race to be furious.

No matter how you look at it, this seems like an attempt to stir up conflict between the two races again.

Of course, Lord Li knew it wasn't that simple.

Even if Jiang Ke'er is indeed a demon, she did blow up the human race's holy land, and she is not necessarily standing on the opposite side of Shenzhou.

Perhaps, not all evil things are related to her, but she has become a devil, so many pots of shit are naturally put on her head.

There are too many variables involved.

but……

"Does the truth matter?" someone said.

These words struck deep into Lord Li's heart.

Even if he knew that something was fishy, ​​he couldn't prove Jiang Ke'er's innocence, and he couldn't change the hearts of those who had been instigated.

If he did not take action now, those families and sects that had coveted the throne for a long time would be able to legitimately raise the banner of attack and do his bidding.

That would surely be a scene that would attract a lot of responses, and by then it wouldn't just be Jiang Ke'er that would be attacked... but also myself.

Therefore, even if he didn't want to, he had to show his determination to kill Jiang Ke'er.

Because the situation has come to this point.

"Why not attack Jiang Ke'er?" Lord Li closed his eyes in pain. "Let's not talk about what will happen if we push her too far. Even if we go all out, we may not win."

"There is always a way."

The ministers began to offer suggestions.

"Doesn't she have those teammates and companions? I think they were sincere and didn't seem to be pretending. There's also her master and Tai Ming Zong... These people have such a close relationship with the Heavenly Demon Jiang Ke'er, I'm afraid they are not good people either, and they won't show any mercy at all!"

142. Visitors to the Pure Land Temple (the sequence number in the previous chapter was wrong)

It was another sunny day with the sun shining brightly. Lin Gang and Chen Yi were walking on the steps in front of the Pure Land Temple, sweating profusely.

They carried water on their backs that they had drawn from the well at the foot of the mountain.

But that was not ordinary water. It was tens of thousands of times heavier than ordinary water, and it was so cold that it produced white mist. If even a little bit of it touched your skin, you would get frostbite.

Since ancient times, the abbot's horse eye was small, so Lin Gang and Chen Yi were always punished to go down the mountain to fetch water.

Not to mention how tiring it is, you also have to carry it back before dark, otherwise you will have to be served by the mighty dragon.

Because they kept sneaking down the mountain these past two days, the abbot was furious and had to do several sets of tricks every day... Their ears were callused from hearing them, and now their stomachs churned when they heard these four words.

"Let's go quickly. At this rate, we may not be able to make it back before dark." Chen Yi urged.

Lin Gang raised his head and glared at Chen Yi who was sitting on his carrying pole. He was so angry that his head was smoking.

"You don't have to lift it! Why are you rushing?"

Chen Yi still insisted on not practicing. Compared with the Lingyuan realm, he was more fascinated by Buddhism and philosophy.

Therefore, the job of carrying water fell entirely on Lin Gang.

Not only did he have to carry double the amount of water, he also had to carry his fellow apprentice Chen Yi who was sitting on the shoulder pole and being lazy.

"If you can't lift it, both of us will be punished. As everyone knows, the abbot's horse eye is small." Chen Yi said leisurely, without any anxious expression on his face.

"Fuck!" Lin Gang quickly covered Chen Yi's mouth in fear. "Stop saying such things. The abbot knows everything and is very powerful. If he hears us, we won't be able to live peacefully tomorrow."

"concave."

Chen Yi closed his mouth, holding the Buddhist scriptures in one hand and a palm-leaf fan in the other.

He sat on the carrying pole, fanning himself and reading a book, listening to the chirping of cicadas in the woods and the footsteps of Lin Gang, feeling extremely comfortable.

"Brother, please walk steadily. I'm dizzy." Chen Yi said dissatisfiedly, "If you keep swaying, I'll vomit on your head."

"You're dizzy, don't read!"

"That won't work."

"…If you want to read, why don't you come down and walk by yourself!"

"No, I'm tired."

"How come I have a junior brother like you?!"

"Luckily I have a senior brother like you."
