Hua Ruge rolled his eyes. "I'm that kind of person."

Su Nianxia nodded without even thinking.

Hua Ruge really wanted to throw her out.

Su Nianxia said seriously: "This matter is fishy. In terms of identity, the three of us are slightly better than you, and in terms of strength, you are not the highest. How is this divided?"

"I don't know either." Hua Ruge spread his hands.

"Elder sister Ruge, do you know the priest here?" Su Nianxia thought of one possibility.

Hua Ruge shook his head blankly. "I don't even know what a priest is."

"Priests are very sacred, especially the High Priest, who is said to only be a person chosen by the heavens, and who has always been regarded as the representative of the heavens by Da Yu." Su Nianxia explained and asked again: "Do you have an impression of him?"

Hua Ruge shook his head and said, "Such a large place is rather feudal and superstitious."

She didn't believe in anyone chosen by the heavens. The heavens weren't intelligent.

"It is said that the Imperial Advisors here also have a specific candidate. However, since the heavens have yet to give any instructions, the position of Imperial Advisors has always been suspended in the air." Su Nianxia said again.

She was extremely familiar with the matters of Da Yu and knew about it.

"It's hard to imagine such a superstitious country being so rich and powerful." Hua Ruge felt that this was unbelievable.

As the two of them chatted in the room, they heard Su Yingxue hooting about to find the priest again in the courtyard. The servant had no choice but to report to him, and after a while she returned and said, "Tomorrow morning, the High Priest will come personally."

Su Yingxue was stunned.

Hua Ruge heard and asked again, "The High Priest is the Head of the Priests, right?"

"As a general rule." Su Nianxia opened his mouth wide: "That is the legendary High Priest that even the Emperor doesn't dare to buy. If he really comes over, that would be too condescending."

"I don't understand. Maybe he really did get provoked?" Hua Ruge shook his head.

However, this was not what she was worried about, she was truly worried about whether Tuoba Rui would come or not.

Thus, she was in the palace, but had already sent many of her soldiers to scout around the imperial capital. However, she felt that the chances were not high, because Black Panther had admitted that he did not know whether his master was there or not.

Therefore, when Su Nianxia complained to her again, she too felt the same way.

As expected, chasing a man was a difficult task.

Fortunately, there were more rooms in the main hall. Su Nianxia randomly picked a room to sleep in and didn't squeeze in the same bed as Hua Ruge.

The next morning, Hua Ruge was dragged out of bed by Su Nianxia.

"What are you doing?" Hua Ruge asked sleepily.

"Just now, someone from the palace reported that the High Priest will be here soon. Elder sister doesn't want to see him?" Su Nianxia said excitedly.

Hua Ruge opened his eyes at once and said, "You really did come."

"That's right. I heard that the High Priest is very mysterious. Very few people have ever seen him. We can't miss this chance." Su Nianxia continued to drag Hua Ruge as he spoke.

Hua Ruge struggled out of his grasp and said, "I'll get off the bed myself."

Su Nianxia then stopped.

"Is the priest a man or a woman?" Hua Ruge asked curiously while she was still wearing her clothes.

Su Nianxia scratched his head: "I think there are both genders."

"What about the High Priest?"

"I don't know." Su Nianxia began to shake his head this time as well.

After Hua Ruge finished washing his face, he asked, "Where shall we meet?"

"The High Priest, of course, is going to appear in a grand occasion. He has to be at the altar in the palace." Su Nianxia knew that Hua Ruge was only concerned about them from a distance, so he added: "They shouldn't be too far away."

Hua Ruge left the door while Su Yingxue and Fang Lanxin went out together.

Although Su Yingxue had invited the High Priest out, she didn't look too good on her face. She knew that the High Priest wasn't that easily found, and there must be something she didn't know.

She was in a state of panic, unable to guess what would happen next.

Fang Lanxin also had the same expression by her side, afraid that he would be implicated.

"Why does his face look so bad, isn't this what you're all thinking?" Hua Ruge sarcastically said.

"Don't get cocky too early. Maybe the High Priest found out that you were bribing him." Su Yingxue said unwillingly.

Hua Ruge laughed, "If you really think that way, then your complexion must not be so bad."

Su Yingxue had nothing to say, and grinded his teeth in anger.

Su Nianxia sympathized a little with her. It would definitely be very miserable to have a war of words with his Big Sister Ruge.

After being frightened by Hua Ruge, the two of them became even more nervous as they walked.

The news of the High Priest arriving at the palace spread like wildfire. Many people rushed to the sacrificial altar to see what the High Priest looked like.

When Hua Ruge hurried over, the Great Zheng Emperor was already there. When he saw Hua Ruge, he coldly said: "Did you get into trouble again?"

Hua Ruge thought to himself, am I that much of a troublemaker, but he still blurted out, "Your Majesty, I did not."

The Emperor continued to look at her with suspicion.

Hua Ruge's face was calm.

The emperor was still worried and said, "This place is not the emperor. If something happened to you, not only would it harm you, it would also implicate the emperor. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Hua Ruge replied awkwardly: "But I really didn't do anything."

The Emperor glanced at her and said nothing.

Hua Ruge looked at Su Nianxia with a helpless look, but Su Nianxia was still smiling;

Hua Ruge felt that he was really careless when making friends.

More and more people gathered around the sacrificial altar. They were all experts from different countries that lived in the palace. They filled up the space, leaving only the steps below the sacrificial altar.

Everyone looked in that direction, waiting for the High Priest to appear at the end of the red carpet at the foot of the steps.

Suddenly, the faint fragrance of flowers wafted into everyone's nose, causing them to be in a daze for a moment. When they looked over, they saw that a human figure had already appeared at the end of the red carpet.

The women were divided into two rows, and they all wore white dresses with complicated and mysterious patterns embroidered on them.

They were all extremely tall, and half of their faces were covered with silver masks. It was difficult to make out their facial features, making them seem especially mysterious and solemn.2

More and more white-robed women appeared, coming from both sides of the altar. Everyone was dressed the same.

Su Nianxia's eyes blurred as he asked, "Why can't I tell which one is different?"

"Why does it have to be different?" Hua Ruge asked.

"The High Priest shouldn't be dressed like an ordinary High Priest, right? The one who's dressed differently must be the High Priest." Su Nianxia said.

Hua Ruge nodded.

The priests walked to the foot of the steps, and the eight women in front of them went up the steps and stood in a row.

And then, all of the priests knelt down, loudly saying, "Welcome, High Priest."

Soon after, everyone felt a white figure in the sky, and they all looked up to see a white figure slowly descending. It was the High Priest of Great Yu Dynasty.
