Chapter 328: Scapegoat

After this entire process was over, First Elder opened his eyes, glanced at Huanhuan, and said coldly, "It's Huanhuan's turn to defend herself. Huanhuan, if you have anything to say, say it now."

'After a while, you wouldn't be able to say it even if you wanted to.'

Huanhuan heard the unspoken meaning in his words.

She knew there was no way she could clear herself of suspicion.

Huanhuan couldn't be bothered to waste her breath explaining anymore. She said bluntly, "Even if I killed Mather, he deserved to die!"

First Elder's expression darkened. "Mather is an envoy. Killing an envoy is equivalent to openly provoking the temple! How dare you say that he deserves to die?!"

Huanhuan asked, "Can he harass a female just because he's an envoy?"

"As an envoy, Mather was very well-disciplined. How could he have done anything to insult a female? Stop talking nonsense!"
