Chapter 540: The Secret of the Leader and the Holy Maiden
Chapter 540 The secret of the leader and the saint
"As strong as the Prince of the East Palace, he uses various methods in an endless stream. In just a few months, he has caused such a huge blow to our sect. This has never happened in the hundreds of years of our sect's history."
The saint's tone was still cold and calm. Although her voice was extremely pleasant, her voice without any emotion still made the already cold early spring night feel a bit more chilly.
"If our religion wants to achieve great things, it must first pay the price. The previous model has never been successful for more than three hundred years. Now, does the leader still want to take advantage of the weakening of the imperial court and the resentment of the people to revolt?
The impression that the White Lotus Sect is a cult has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, so how can it win over the world?"
"If the leader wants to complete the great cause of our religion, he must rely on one of the forces of the court. Facts have proved that King Zhao Li Yinhu is not a reliable candidate, so he should choose another target as soon as possible."
Listening to the saint's words, the leader's face was expressionless.
It wasn't until the saint finished speaking that the leader said: "Li Yinhu is not a good man, so Li Chen is?"
"Prince Li Chen is countless times more dangerous than King Zhao Li Yinhu."
His eyes were burning and he said: "You know my intention. I plan to kill the prince directly tonight. Even the eunuch Sanbao can't stop you and me from joining forces, but you sent a message to me privately to stop me, and even agreed without permission.
After accepting the prince's conditions, do you take me as the leader of the church seriously?"
The saint said calmly: "I am devoted to teaching and have no selfish motives."
"Of course you have no selfish motives. You gave yourself to the prince, so what other selfish motives can you have!?"
The leader's words made the saint's cold eyes flash with smoke, and she said: "The leader doubts the purity of my heart?"
Taking a step forward and teleporting to the saint, the leader said calmly: "If you are not a pure daughter of the White Lotus Sect, you will not be able to fulfill this role. I believe this."
"But it's definitely not a good thing for you to be controlled by the prince."
The saint said neither humble nor arrogantly: "But I have already promised the prince. If I go back on my promise, it will only make things worse."
"Please also ask the leader to help me, I have my own countermeasures."
The leader stared at the saint for a long time and suddenly said: "You can't wait to leave me so hard?"
"You and I are brothers and sisters, why do you avoid me like a snake and a scorpion!?"
"You would rather take poison and go to the East Palace than stay with my brother!?"
The saint took a step back slightly and said calmly: "From the moment we joined the White Lotus Sect, you and I have abandoned our worldly identities. Now I am a saint and you are the leader. Please respect yourself."
Taking a deep breath, the leader said: "Okay, very good."
"When you take the poison they used to control you, I will find an opportunity to detoxify you."
The leader said in a deep voice: "This is my bottom line."
As expected, the saint no longer refuted.
"As for King Zhao, the opinion of the church's senior leaders is to kill him to avoid future troubles. What do you think?" the leader asked.
The saint thought for a moment and said, "You can't kill."
"The one who supports Li Yinhu is Zhao Xuanji, the chief minister of the cabinet, and Zhao Xuanji is the most important force against the prince. Once Li Yinhu is killed, the situation will develop in an uncontrollable direction. Keeping him is an important means to check and balance the prince.
"
The leader was unconvinced.
But there was no objection. He actually agreed with the saint's opinion.
"This incident has made everyone in the church furious. If King Zhao is not taught a lesson, the people below will not be able to appease him. I understand what you mean, and I will handle it as appropriate."
