As soon as these four words were spoken, the entire space instantly fell silent.
The High Priest gradually retracted his smile. He stared at the girl with a calm and composed expression, finally ceasing to smile altogether.
This was his greatest hidden secret. For thousands of years, no one had ever known it, let alone guessed it.
Yet, Ye Wanlan spoke it easily, as if this greatest secret before her was nothing, vulnerable and insignificant.
Her gaze, tone, and expression didn't contain a trace of shock or disbelief, neither joy nor anger. Even he could not fathom what she was truly thinking deep in her heart.
After a long, long silence, the High Priest suddenly laughed again, with a bit of intrigue: "No wonder you are Princess Yongning, truly brilliant. It's no surprise the entire Ning Dynasty's luck is bestowed upon you; you... are indeed a formidable adversary."
Princess Yongning's extraordinary brilliance had already made the Heavenly Dao wary of her.
