Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Saintess of the Church of Light VS Ambitious Maid (Part 7) Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Saintess of the Church of Light VS Ambitious Maid (Part 7) Heidi: “…”

For some reason, she felt a bit panicked under Gu Shengyin’s gaze.

But it didn’t matter, she told herself.

She had worn the Crystal Crown on her head for so long, it must have already been tainted by the Dark Power.

Even if she didn’t wear it now, she wouldn’t escape detection later.

Thinking of this, Heidi couldn’t help but feel elated.

Heatherv, oh Heatherv, you can’t blame me.

Why did you have to be stronger than all the other Saintess candidates?

Without you, I would be the most qualified one.

I should be the Saintess exalted above ten thousand!

Gu Shengyin stood atop the high platform.

The Pope placed a flawless Crystal Ball in the palm of her hand.

Everyone was watching her; if anything was amiss, under the witness of these people, Heatherv would never have a chance to turn things around.

The Pope asked her, “Heatherv, are you willing to accept the divinities’ and believers’ inspection?”

Gu Shengyin said indifferently, “My body and mind are clean, with nothing to hide.”

“Good!”

The Pope said, “Then now, holding the Crystal Ball in your hand, pour the Force of Light into it.”

If one was a pure Believer, the Crystal Ball would burst forth with golden light.

If the faith wasn’t pure, the Crystal Ball would show mixed colors.

And if, as Heidi claimed, Heatherv was tainted with the Dark Power, the Crystal Ball would turn completely black.

Under the gaze of all, there was no possibility of cheating.

Watching Heatherv close her eyes calmly and infuse the Power of Light, Heidi’s mouth was already curling.

You’re so composed now, but later, when you see the Crystal Ball turn black, will you still be able to remain calm?

She thought she had already seen the scene where Heatherv would be accused and cursed by everyone, stripped of her Saintess title.

But the next moment…

An incredibly brilliant golden light illuminated the great hall, brightening everyone’s eyes.

The Pope’s face showed relief: “As expected of the Saintess with the innate Body of Light, the faith’s light is so pure.”

Gu Shengyin also opened her eyes and smiled slightly.

Only Heidi’s eyes widened in disbelief: How could this be?

She had clearly, she had clearly used a Secret Technique.

And Heatherv had put on the Crystal Crown right before her very eyes.

Why was she unaffected?

While she was still puzzled, the Pope’s cold voice had already sounded: “Heidi!”

Heidi started, hurriedly kneeling down with the Crystal Crown in her arms.

The Pope said sternly, “I have said before that framing a Saintess is a grave sin! Do you have anything to say now?”

With her mind racing, Heidi knew that making excuses at this time would serve no purpose.

She cried out, “Your Majesty, I don’t know why this happened. I truly admire and love the Saintess, but, but somehow the Holy Artifact of my family malfunctioned. I accused Her Holiness out of faith in the divinities, and that was my mistake. I am willing to accept punishment! I plead for the Pope’s and the Saintess’s forgiveness!”

Her quick admission of fault caused the Pope to soften his anger, thinking that the girl had merely made an unintentional error.

“What about this, Saintess?” he turned to Gu Shengyin.

Gu Shengyin smiled slightly, her aura brimming with a motherly radiance: “I believe in Heidi. Your Holiness, today is a day of great joy for my coronation, and it is not fitting for unfortunate events to occur. Therefore, please forgive Heidi this time.”

The Pope nodded: “The Saintess’s magnanimity is admirable.”

Heidi quickly thanked him.

Gu Shengyin watched Heidi with a smile: Don’t worry; I couldn’t crush you this time.

We’ll play slowly next time.
