Why are you messing with her? Her mission is to bully the scumbag

Li You hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation. She stood in the hall confidently, looking very confident. "Fairy, please rest assured. We will tell you the truth and will not hide anything."

However, Luo Xu and Xing Yuan were not as relaxed as she was.

They knew very well that this ancient temple had the mysterious power to identify lies, and for liars, it was a nightmare.

Xing Yuan lowered his eyes, thinking to himself: As long as my conscience is clear, why should I be afraid of their groundless accusations? He believed that this hall would not fabricate lies out of thin air.

Ling Jinxing sat in the main seat, observing the three people entering the hall with a penetrating gaze. He tilted his head to look at Chen, who sat there, the glass teacup steaming in her hand, as if everything was under control.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for us!" Xing Yuan was the first to bow, his voice firm and sincere.

Li You and Luo Xu followed closely behind, echoing in unison.

Chen took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Since you are accusing Yun'er of being unfair to you, why don't you tell me from the beginning and let me understand what happened."

The atmosphere in the Ancient Hall suddenly became solemn. This was not a place for them to act recklessly. If they wanted to talk, they had to start from the beginning.

Xing Yuan paused slightly, and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, we are here today mainly to solve the problem at hand. Why do we have to look back on the past?"

Chen put down the teacup and stared at Xingyuan with a sharp gaze. "Everything has its cause and effect. It's impossible for things to happen without a reason. If you want to solve a problem, you must first understand its root cause."

Upon hearing this, Li You hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it was High God Ling Yun who suspected that I had an affair with the Emperor, so he has been targeting me."

Her words were full of grievance and unwillingness.

Xing Yuan thought to himself that something was wrong and wanted to stop Li You from continuing, but it was too late.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden thunder outside the hall, and a bolt of lightning struck Li You unexpectedly.

Xing Yuan was quick-witted and quick-handed. He rushed forward and hugged her, using his body to block the thunder.

"Boom!" The thunder was deafening and shook the entire hall.

Xing Yuan hugged Li You tightly, and felt a powerful force passing through his body and into every limb, which made him shiver.

Fortunately, the thunder did not last too long and soon dissipated without a trace.

Li You was frightened to the point of paleness, and she snuggled tightly in Xing Yuan's arms, trembling.

Luo Xu also showed a look of horror, obviously not expecting things to develop to this point.

Chen looked at the scene in front of her, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes.

She slowly said, "It seems that this affair really exists!"

"Your Majesty, it's not like that!" Xing Yuan explained anxiously, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

Chen just sneered, her brows full of disdain, "Isn't it? Could the thunder in the ancient hall lie? Or do you think this ancient hall is just a decoration for you to admire?" Her voice was cold and majestic, making the atmosphere in the hall suddenly become solemn.

She stared at Xing Yuan with a sharp gaze, "I want you to tell me in person! Tell me everything!"

Xingyuan's heart tightened, he opened his mouth but closed it again.

He didn't dare to say it, for he was afraid that once he said it, everything would become irreversible.

Chen waited for a moment, and seeing Xingyuan remained silent, she stood up and said in an even colder tone, "Since you won't say anything, then swear. Swear that you have nothing to do with Liyou, and there is no private relationship between you. You have never used Yun'er, and you have never done anything to let her down."

Luo Xu didn't dare to speak at this moment. Although he was on Li You's side, he became hesitant when faced with something like swearing an oath.

"What? Are you afraid?" Chen looked at the silent Xing Yuan and sneered again, "How did you become the Emperor? Don't you have any idea? Since your heart is no longer with Yun'er, why should I protect you?"

Xing Yuan looked at Chen in disbelief, "Your Majesty, you treat me like this just because of such a small matter?" There was a hint of unwillingness and grievance in his voice.

"A trivial matter? With your qualifications, it's not even your turn to be the Emperor!" Chen was furious. "You only got this position because you were sincere to Yun'er and Yun'er liked you. Now that your heart is no longer with Yun'er, why should I protect you?"

Seeing Xingyuan's hesitation, Chen spoke again, "You don't have to abdicate. Swear an oath. As long as the thunderbolt doesn't strike, you will remain the emperor. Otherwise, you will return to where you came from!"

Xing Yuan raised his head and looked at Ling Jinxing with cold eyes, "Ling Yun, is this what you mean too?" There was a hint of provocation in his voice.

Ling Jinxing felt that this man was truly shameless. She replied coldly, "Swear, search my soul, or fight me. Choose one of these three!"

Her voice was firm and decisive. "If you win, let bygones be bygones; if you lose, do as my mother says."

"I choose to fight you!" Xing Yuan chose to fight without hesitation. Naturally, he did not dare to choose the first two options.

Chen looked at Ling Jinxing with some worry, and Ling Jinxing gave her a reassuring look.

Luo Xu, standing by, grabbed Xing Yuan and whispered, "Are you crazy? Do you know she was once the God of War in Heaven? She only took a few moves to seriously injure the Demon Lord!"

There was a hint of fear and uneasiness in Luo Xu's voice.

If we lose, Liyou will definitely be implicated.

"What are your chances of defeating the Demon Lord?"

Xing Yuan was stunned. He had never heard of these things. "Why didn't anyone tell me before?" There was a hint of resentment and confusion in his voice.

Luo Xu was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "I thought you knew." His voice was a little low and helpless.

Xing Yuan wasn't entirely confident. He hadn't known Ling Yun's true identity before, having only vaguely heard rumors about her. But now, he knew that if he took action, he still had a chance of success, while inaction would lead to disastrous defeat. So, he took a deep breath and decided to face the challenge head-on.

Ling Jinxing chuckled disdainfully and casually pulled out the original owner's natal divine weapon. It was a sharp sword that gleamed with a cold light, exuding an indomitable spirit. She waved the sword towards Xing Yuan, "What? Are you scared? Whether it's a donkey or a mule, we have to pull it out for a walk to find out."

With that, she turned and walked toward the main hall entrance, her steps light yet carrying an aura that should not be underestimated. Xing Yuan followed closely behind her, a look of determination flashing across his face. He whispered, "Ling Yun, this is the result of your own choice. Don't blame me for being merciless."

Hearing this, Ling Jinxing replied without even turning his head: "When did I ever ask you to show mercy? It's daytime now, don't dream!"
