The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 627 After the meeting
Liu Sheng listened to the whole thing with cold hands and feet.

It seems that the temple has made a choice, which is to keep the peace and smooth over everything.

But in this case, she couldn't understand why they had to call Academician Su.

However, the answer was soon revealed.

After the meeting, Academician Su was left behind.

The other priests left the hall one after another, and only three high priests remained in their seats, facing Old Lady Su and her companion Liu Sheng who were sitting at the very end.

Before leaving, the other priests looked at the two men with suspicion, but following the order from the high priest, they silently opened the temple door and left one after another.

Finally, the palace door closed again.

The dim light enveloped the temple again, and a huge shadow stretched across the temple. The breathing that had just been restored due to the light from outside the temple coming in was suppressed again.

Liu Sheng walked forward silently and tilted his head to look at Old Lady Su. He saw that she was pursing her lips tightly and holding the cane so tightly that her knuckles were slightly white.

Obviously, the content of this meeting had a great impact on her.

And some people just want to bring it up again.

"Master Su, do you have any thoughts on today's meeting in the temple?" Great Priest Li spoke first, his voice gentle, as if without any other meaning.

Scholar Su's face was tense, and he spoke after a while: "I don't have any ideas. The decision of the temple must be based on the highest interests of the Supreme God."

"Then do you know why we asked you to come?"

A cold female voice sounded. It was the female high priestess who was suspected to be the owner of Xiaoxiang Tower. She did not hide her scrutiny.

Old Mrs. Su lowered her eyes and tried hard to suppress her emotions, but a sudden beam of light shone down, illuminating the long table and revealing her tense expression.

Under the light, Liu Sheng finally saw clearly the faces of the three high priests opposite him.

Sure enough, they were all acquaintances.

The female priest who had just spoken had a round and slightly plump face, and her pair of curved smiling eyes were filled with cold indifference.

This was exactly the appearance of the owner of Xiaoxiang Tower that Liu Sheng knew.

The other two people - one should be the Minister of Rites Li, and the other is the same person as Mei Yuanzheng who is in her new world at this moment.

"I don't know." Old Mrs. Su's tone was flat, but she couldn't help revealing her displeasure. It was obvious that she didn't like being questioned in such a condescending manner.

"You should know that."

High Priest Li smiled, his voice neither hurried nor slow, his body slightly leaning forward, as if approaching in a friendly manner, yet a faint sense of oppression came from the distance.

Old Mrs. Su's expression remained unchanged.

"I originally thought that what you needed was the results of my research, but now it seems that I was presumptuous. The Temple has already made a decision and has sufficient countermeasures..."

However, the high priest who looked like the poster interrupted her coldly.

"No, you are right. We need your research results."

Old Mrs. Su frowned slightly, seeming a little confused and a little alert.

"I heard from Yu Ting about your research direction, which is exactly what the temple needs now." High Priest Mei said calmly. His tone was not so aggressive, and his attitude was not so condescending. I think it was because of the relationship with Mei Yuanzheng.

"I don't understand." Old Mrs. Su's tone had become a little colder.

"Ahem, Master Su, I believe you are a smart man, so why do you need us to explain it so clearly?"

The smile of the great priest Li became more meaningful, and his body leaned forward.

Under the strong light, the face appeared pale, as if it was magnified and brought much closer, with a strange sense of oppression.

Scholar Su pursed his lips again.

Liu Sheng also knew that everyone present now knew exactly what the Great Priest Li was talking about.

"In that case, let's be frank." Great Priest Mei said in a gentle voice, "Right now, the temple is indeed facing the problem of how to distribute divine grace."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the great priest Li and the host of the building changed slightly.

It seems that he had not originally intended to be so frank.

Scholar Su clenched his cane in one hand, while the other hand trembled slightly under the table.

Liu Sheng knew what this admission meant.

Meaning, they knew clearly that something was wrong with the Supreme God, but chose to divinely execute those who questioned him.

"So, Grand Secretary Su, your Divine Study Hall has been operating for ten years with the support of the Temple and the National Academy, right?" High Priest Li said gently, but the sinister look in his eyes was extremely obvious as he leaned forward.

Seeing this cold look, Old Lady Su's heart trembled, and the wrinkles in her eyes narrowed into a line. "Yes."

"After ten years, don't you have any results to show?" The host's voice was as cold as ice. "You won't tell us that we have wasted our resources for ten years?"

The threat in this sentence is obvious.

High Priest Mei did not say anything, but the hint in his eyes was clear, as if reminding her that "a man of insight is a wise man."

Liu Sheng saw that Old Lady Su's hands were trembling slightly.

Her eyes moved back and forth between the few people, and her heart was also cold.

Want to say something?
She knew that the research she had in hand might be the key they needed.

This is also the reason why she was brought here by Old Lady Su.

But, should I say it now?
……

Finally, Old Lady Su frankly explained that she had not made any substantial progress in her studies and hoped that the temple could give her some more time.

Therefore, Liu Sheng did not speak either.

Walking out of the temple, you will see towering cypress trees with their branches swaying in the wind and snow. The eerie atmosphere is like an invisible layer of oppression that covers your entire body, making you feel cold all over.

"It seems that even the temple cannot dispel this chill."

Old Lady Su looked up at the towering silhouette of the temple beneath the face of the Supreme God Mu Ran and whispered these incomprehensible words.

Liu Sheng understood, but just nodded silently.

After waiting for a while at the temple gate, the carriage was led in by the temple servants.

She carefully helped Old Lady Su into the carriage.

After the ban was opened, the car was finally isolated from the cold wind from outside and seemed much quieter.

It also blocks out prying eyes and ears.

Liu Sheng then asked softly, "Master Su, may I ask why you didn't say anything?"

Not saying it does not mean that Mrs. Su admitted that her studies had not yielded any results, this was indeed the truth.

But the point is why not say that Liu Sheng has achieved new results.

That article alone, with further digging, could be enough to solve the temple's most pressing problems.

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Su sighed and turned to look at Liu Sheng.

It was a face full of wrinkles, and the signs of aging were clearly visible, but the eyes were still bright and showed sharp clarity.

"You can't take out your article for the time being."

Old Mrs. Su's tone was calm but powerful.

Liu Sheng's heart trembled.

If it were someone else, she might suspect that the other party had ulterior motives and was trying to seize her achievements, but when facing Old Lady Su, she inexplicably felt trust.

Thinking back to those priests just now, she seemed to understand what Grand Scholar Su meant.

"Are you worried..." She hesitated and said softly, "You're worried about being abandoned after you've done your job?"

"That's right." Old Lady Su nodded, her voice a little low. "You saw with your own eyes how they treated those who told the truth. Do you still think that they would be grateful to you for solving the problem and name you as the benefactor of the temple?"

Liu Sheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Will not,"

Old Mrs. Su continued, her tone full of sarcasm.

"They will only hide your achievements, just like covering up the mistakes of the Supreme God's grace, and wipe everything clean."

Old Lady Su's words made Liu Sheng feel warm inside, knowing that this was indeed for her own good.

Just as he was about to speak, Liu Sheng suddenly felt the carriage tremble violently, as if it was overturned by a huge force.

boom!
The blinding white light instantly filled the surroundings, burning the eyes and almost tearing the entire world apart.

The subsequent explosion was deafening, as if countless sharp blades were cutting through the air, and the shock wave hit the body hard, suffocating it.

Liu Sheng's world fell silent amidst the dazzling light and roar.

She could no longer see or hear.
