Wasn’t this person just begging to give up her wager?
“Impossible!!” Jiang Hong screeched. For a moment, her voice covered up everybody’s excited clamors, and the atmopshere quieted down.
Jiang Hong rushed up to the old talisman pract.i.tioner with two steps in place of three, and s.n.a.t.c.hed the yellow-rank immobilization talisman that he was holding. She held it up in the air and shouted, “Everybody look closely! In these 44 years, I have never seen a talisman pract.i.tioner who could draw a yellow-rank immobilization talisman in three minutes!
“Think about it, everyone. This is simply an impossible feat!” Jiang Hong shouted, as if to rouse everyone from their fantasies. She screamed at the top of her lungs, “She clearly cheated!
“She cheated!!” Jiang Hong shouted, “She must have hid a completed talismans in her sleeve beforehand and then made a switch!”
!!
Qiao Mu looked at her puzzledly for a moment before asking, “So many people were watching me draw the talisman. How could I switch out the talisman in my sleeve under everyone’s watchful eyes?”
You couldn’t be saying a joke, right?
Jiang Hong looked at her coldly. “Stop pretending! Everybody can search her sleeves. She must have hidden a lot of immobilization talismans, defensive talismans, and the like inside.”
“Insolence.” Seeing that there really were people approaching Qiao Mu and sleazily wanting to conduct a search, Crown Prince Mo shouted angrily. He flicked his sleeve, knocking those two men with ulterior motives flying.
Qiao Mu patted Mo Lian to calm him down. She looked at Jiang Hong and said evenly, “What you cannot accomplish in this lifetime does not mean other people can not do so.”
The youth, Zou Huan, nodded vigorously. “That’s right! Just now, I didn’t even blink my eyes and watched the young great master draw the talisman. She simply completed it in a single breath from the moment her talisman pen touched the paper. She did not halt for a single moment, nor did she make any suspicious movements like reaching for her sleeve!”
“This is clearly slander. You are envious of her amazing talisman-drawing speed, so you’re framing her for cheating!” Everyone agreed with Zou Huan’s logical argument. Even the referee, Old Talisman Pract.i.tioner Song, nodded.
Zou Huan was extremely emotional.
He had never seen someone drawing so smoothly without stopping in all these 14 years.
Sure enough, this black-level grand talisman pract.i.tioner was very formidable!
He definitely had to learn from her!
After making up his mind, Zou Huan did not say anything during this chaos. He merely stood beside Qiao Mu and Mo Lian, berating Jiang Hong.
“Look.” Qiao Mu took out a blank talisman paper and waved it in front of Jiang Hong.
She then took out her talisman pen and just casually drew several strokes. This time, it truly took less than three minutes for a yellow-rank immobilization talisman to appear before everyone.
The old talisman pract.i.tioner held it emotionally in both hands. He examined it over and over again like a treasure. He shouted, “A yellow-rank immobilization talisman!”
Jiang Hong’s eyes promptly turned round.
She could feel her head sizzling with smoke. She froze on the spot and kept repeating deliriously, “Impossible, this is impossible!”
Jiang Hong felt like she was about to go mad. This time, she had personally watched the little lady draw a yellow-rank immobilization talisman in minutes.
Those strokes were so fluid and unrestrained, and a venomous snake had reared its head in her heart from envy.
She could only repeat “impossible” like a broken recording stone.
