Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Actions Speak Louder Than Words Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Actions Speak Louder Than Words Under the organization of these two clearly incompatible Saintesses, the interrogation began.
Initially, the villagers attempted to distance themselves by claiming that the two young n in crimson clothes were suspicious, trying to shift the bla onto them.
However, Ah Dao forcefully intervened, staunchly defending their innocence.
For reasons unknown, Wu Nuan seed to have so entanglent with Ah Dao and surprisingly took his side, not imdiately detaining Li Wenli and Bai Junjun.
Instead, she asked the County Magistrate to clarify the entire sequence of events here.
The nad County Magistrate dared not delay and quickly recounted the strange occurrences in the county over the past half month.
First was how the villagers encountered strange illnesses, how the doctors were ineffective in their treatnts, and how the witch doctor ca and took control, deceiving everyone without missing a beat.
“Our treatnt has already reached the seventh day. The wizard says today is the last day, and that as long as the treatnt is completed, the ‘Heavenly Punishnt’ will disappear.
We, as usual, were repenting to the Witch God amid the mist. However, for so reason, we were unusually drowsy this ti and fell asleep shortly after. When we woke up, we saw these two young n on the stage telling us that the witch doctor was a fraud, exploiting the pretext of treatnt to amass wealth and so forth.”
After hearing this, the two Saintesses silently looked towards the two n in crimson clothes.
Gu poison does not differentiate, they are proficient in it, but they are also well-versed in dicine.
Unlike the fixed mindset of ordinary people, they could imdiately distinguish genders. Thus, seeing Li Wenli and Bai Junjun, a man and a woman, they beca even more cautious.
“What do you have to say?”
Li Wenli bowed to Wu Nuan: “We are from Dongsheng Tavern, and this ti we were preparing to go to Old Capital City to purchase alcohol.”
“Like usual, we planned to go to the County Yan to get the lord’s seal, but unfortunately, when we arrived at An County, the fake witch doctor’s treatnt had already begun. Being new to the situation, we heard that the ceremony had started and could not be interrupted, so we could only rest at the station, planning to seek the Lord of the County Yan today.
However, while asleep at midnight, we suddenly heard strange noises from here. Driven by curiosity, we ca out to have a look, and saw a large crowd lying all over the street, and the witch doctor, who was supposed to be earnestly treating people, was actually counting money with his head bowed.
Having been in business for many years and seen all kinds of people, we imdiately realized there was sothing wrong with this witch doctor’s behavior.
Moreover, at that ti, the County Master and the public were all unconscious. In a mont of urgency, we confronted the witch doctor. He responded aggressively, ready to start a fight.
Of course, we couldn’t let him succeed. It took trendous effort to knock him unconscious, and then the villagers woke up.
We kindly told everyone that this person was a fraud, but to our surprise, the County Master and our fellow villagers didn’t believe us and even started arguing with us.
It was then that you, Saintess, arrived.”
Li Wenli presented the story as if it were the absolute truth.
Bai Junjun thought it over carefully. It seed that was more or less exactly what had happened; Fox didn’t miss a thing!
Wu Nuan appeared thoughtful.
Wu Yunlan couldn’t hold back and asked, “Didn’t you see the Witch Crow?”
“What is a Witch Crow?” Li Wenli showed a puzzled expression.
Wu Yunlan pursed her lips, wanting to say sothing but eventually held back.
Wu Nuan gave them a faint look: “There is a bond between us and the Sacred Object. I will know if you carry it by sensing its presence.”
Li Wenli nodded indifferently: “Everything we have said is true; if you don’t believe us, feel free to search.”
Saying so, he even voluntarily opened his arms, showing an expression of soone with nothing to hide.
Then Wu Nuan indeed closed her eyes, pinched her fingers into a gesture, and began muttering an incantation.
