Black Bellied Belle: Demon Lord, Bite the Bait Please - Chapter 284.4

Chapter 284.4: A Strange Change Happened
After Qing Yu finished speaking, everyone below was silent for a long while before the expressions of their faces were a little strange to see.

Because all of them felt that all that the young lady said sounded rather logical. If it was the Mind Free Peak, it could really explain that strange phenomenon. Afterall, nothing so mysterious has ever happened in Cloud Heaven in the past several hundred years.

They were all speechless for a moment.

In the end, it was Qing Luo Yan who suddenly laughed out softly before she went on to say: “You little lass, really has quite an extraordinary mind. To think that you have the exact same thoughts as this Temple Lord here. It looks like having you just be a mere attendant girl is such a great waste of your talents.”

“The Temple Lord is too kind. I am merely making a wild guess here.” Qing Yu lowered her head and said, her demeanor natural and unflinching.

The people below could not help but sigh inwardly at those words. Hearing the Temple Lord say that, it seemed to mean that she was going to bestow a special position within the Divine Temple onto the young lady. When that thought came to their minds, some of them just could not help turning to look towards the man standing at the lead among the group of men in blue priest robes.

Looks like the position of the Divine Temple’s Grand Priest is now hanging by a mere thread!

“Since there is no objection from all of you, the matter is now made clear. From here, this Temple Lord will then decide on the candidates who will be going to the Mind Free Peak within the next few days, and you’ll be informed of my decision when the time comes. I hope everyone will do your best to grasp this opportunity.”

“We will not disappoint the Temple Lord wishes!”

After saying that, Qing Luo Yan then raised her hand slightly from behind the curtain veil. Upon seeing that, Qing Yu slowly went inside, and supported the woman as they left from the other side.

Everyone in the great hall started to disperse, and there was no lack of hushed whispers among the people.

“That little lass from the lower realm, is really riding high recently! To think that the Temple Lord trusts her so much!”

“You don’t say! Although the Temple Lord often asks for everyone’s opinion during every meeting, but doesn’t she always insist that what she thinks is right? I have never seen the Temple Lord in such complete agreement with someone’s opinion before.”

“It seems like even the Grand Priest Cang Jian who has been by the Temple Lord’s side for so many years did not manage to make the Temple Lord trust him that much and….. it looks like the Temple Lord has not summoned him recently right?”

“Shh….. Not that loud…..”

Despite the hushed voices speaking in soft whispers, Cang Jian was not deaf at all. He has always been concerned with how others looked at him, so how could he not be paying attention to his surroundings at this time?

Upon hearing those words from the people around him, Cang Jian’s face was cold and hard as he walked out from the great hall without a word.

But his hands within his sleeves were tightly clenched up, held so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.

Did he just….. led the wolf right into his house?

Things have turned out like this due to his own stupidity.

Sigh….. He has been too careless. Since this Yu Qing did not know her own place, then she cannot be left alone.

Cang Jian’s tall figure gradually disappeared from the sight of everyone coming out of the great hall. When he reached a place where no one was able to see him, the man’s harmless and gently good looking face soon came to be tainted with an indiscernible tinge of malevolence that seemed to forebode an incoming storm.

——

It was night, the cold clear moon hung high up in the sky. A silvery white light pale as snow spilled into the house, a quietly beautiful and enchanting sight.

The young lady lay quietly, half her face buried in her soft beddings.

The silvery slanted rays of the moon cast into the room, and one could dimly see the other exposed half of the young lady’s exquisite and flawless countenance in quiet and peaceful sleep, like an otherworldly fairy that had stumbled into the mortal realm.

From within the shadows, there was suddenly another presence, a pair of eyes deeply watching the young lady who was fast asleep.
