Chapter 423: Is this evidence fake? This evidence is way too real!!

Hearing this, Shiroyasha fell silent for a long time; she sat down, leaned against the back of the chair, and took a light sip from her teacup.

Looking at the Halloween Queen, she said with some disbelief.

"Wansheng? Are you serious?"

What does it mean to become a true Sun Star Spirit? No one understood the true meaning of this phrase better than she did.

Currently, Little Garden has two Sun Star Spirits.

One is her, the Star Spirit of the Sun and Baiye, who governs the movement, rising, and setting of the sun; because of her first defeat, she was demoted from the Star Spirit of the Original Star to a Sun Star Spirit.

The other is the Halloween Queen, the Star Spirit of the Sun and Gold, who governs the Boundary and is a Star Spirit truly born from the sun.

If not for Shiroyasha, then the only one who would have become a Sun Star Spirit would be the Halloween Queen.

And the Halloween Queen would not have been blocked by Shiroyasha, leaving her stuck in that awkward position of a Three-digit Exceptional.

"Of course I'm serious."

The Halloween Queen said with a light chuckle.

"After all, our relationship has finally eased up a little; if we don't take this opportunity to discuss it in advance, what should we do if our relationship deteriorates again?"

The Halloween Queen gently speared a bit of mousse cake, brought it to her mouth, and said.

If not for the existence of Su Nian as a lubricant between them, they likely would have started fighting the moment the Halloween Queen said she would give Kudou Asuka to Shiroyasha.

The relationship between Shiroyasha and the Halloween Queen could not be called good; in the past, let alone meeting, it was a good thing if they didn't fight on sight.

Because the Halloween Queen snatched Shiroyasha's Sun Authority, and Shiroyasha blocked the Halloween Queen's path.

"That is true."

Shiroyasha nodded in agreement; over the long passage of time, her relationship with the Halloween Queen had never been good, and now it was merely a brief peace.

"So how do you intend to do it?"

Shiroyasha asked, looking at the Halloween Queen with curiosity.

After all, the position of Sun Star Spirit was something she held temporarily after being demoted.

For Shiroyasha, this was not a position that was strictly necessary, especially now that she had retrieved the Heaven-Moving Theory Spirit Grid.

But for the Halloween Queen, it was different; it was an indispensable part of her.

"How about an Agent War? The winner becomes the true Sun Star Spirit."

The Halloween Queen revealed a smile and offered the plan she had prepared.

"An Agent War? Then doesn't that mean I'm guaranteed to win!"

Shiroyasha slapped her thigh hard and said excitedly.

"Don't forget that Su Nian is my Retainer."

"He is also my Retainer."

The Halloween Queen glared at Shiroyasha and said, refusing to concede.

"And what do you think I meant by an Agent War?"

The Halloween Queen rolled her eyes speechlessly; Shiroyasha was just playing dumb.

Her meaning was very clear: to have the Kudou Asuka sisters become her and Shiroyasha's agents to conduct the Agent War.

To decide the ownership of the position of the true Sun Star Spirit.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Would you agree to a war you're guaranteed to lose?"

Shiroyasha rolled her eyes.

"The conditions for both sides in an Agent War must be equal, right? You've already given the Kusanagi Sword to me; do you believe I can raise an Amaterasu for you?"

Back when the inheritance of Takamagahara was being divided, the Halloween Queen took the Kusanagi Sword, while as the price, Shiroyasha swept away most of the other inheritance.

It could be said she got a huge windfall.

"If you have the ability to raise an Amaterasu, then I can raise an Arthur."

The Halloween Queen did not fear Shiroyasha's threat at all; after all, comparing resources? Comparing wealth? Ten Shiroyashas couldn't compare to her.

"Damn it, Wansheng, you win."

Shiroyasha sighed helplessly; after all, Arthur had already "died," so it was quite normal for the Halloween Queen to raise the next Arthur now.

When the time comes, just borrow the Star Holy Sword from Su Nian, and wouldn't the conditions be equal then?

The conditions for both sides, at this moment, seemed to be equal.

Shiroyasha looked at the Halloween Queen speechlessly.

"You even calculated this?"

"Otherwise?"

The Halloween Queen revealed a faint, elegant smile.

"After all, I'm not like you, who doesn't care about anything and just charges in blindly."

"When it involves something I have pursued for so long, I naturally have to be extremely cautious."

Shiroyasha smiled awkwardly and scratched her face.

It was indeed the case; all three of her defeats were due to underestimating her enemies; if she had prepared even a little more, she wouldn't have ended up in her current situation.

"However, I am properly correcting myself now!"

Shiroyasha patted her chest and said confidently.

"Correcting? Do you mean relying on your external brain?"

The Halloween Queen couldn't help but laugh and say; she didn't know why, but she always felt that the current Shiroyasha seemed a bit more foolish than before.

"Ahem, just tell me if I've changed or not."

Shiroyasha said with a slightly evasive tone.

"By the way, how are the arrangements for the matters regarding Buddhism going?"

Shiroyasha shifted the topic; she had not forgotten the matter of being nearly tricked by that group of old schemers in Buddhism.

Although she had already tricked them back now.

"The Buddhism side? We don't need to worry; Canary will handle everything."

The Halloween Queen stirred the black tea in front of her gently and said with a smile; they were old enemies of ten thousand years, so how could she not see Shiroyasha's current state?

——

Tianjun Zongbu, inside the temple of Rakshasa Heaven.

The great hall, filled with statues of gods, was currently ablaze with light.

Large pots several meters in diameter were set up, and stack after stack of thick documents were thrown into the pots, ignited by the crimson Red Lotus Karma Fire.

A Sami with a bitter face held a stack of documents, walked up to a large pot, and spoke to a thin man who was biting on a pipe and had disheveled hair.

"Venerable, should we keep burning?"

"Burn, why wouldn't we burn? If we don't burn, and the contents inside leak out, is this forcing Canary to cut us off?"

Dragon-Subduing Venerable didn't even lift his eyelids as he puffed on his pipe, replied, and then asked.

"Speaking of which, what is being burned in here?"

"Oh, it's the incense commission report for the East District."

The Sami responded honestly to Dragon-Subduing Venerable, but unexpectedly, Dragon-Subduing Venerable knocked his pipe directly onto the Sami's head.

"Are you eating shit! You dare to say this thing out loud."

Dragon-Subduing Venerable snatched the documents from the Sami's hand, threw them into the "hot" pot, and then turned his head, listening to the footsteps approaching step by step outside, his heart beating more and more violently.

Canary had almost tracked them down to here.

Fortunately, he was clever and had long ago borrowed the Red Lotus Karma Fire, which could burn away Causality and sin, from the Asura Clan; as long as this evidence was burned by the Karma Fire?

Never mind Canary, even those great beings skilled in divination wouldn't be able to find this evidence!!

Although it might not necessarily be useful, it was at least a psychological comfort, wasn't it?

Dragon-Subduing Venerable moved extremely quickly to throw the documents into the Red Lotus Karma Fire in the pot, destroying them all one by one; only after finishing did he wipe away cold sweat.

"My dear mother, you little baldies, use your brains next time you speak; you nearly scared me to death."

"Yes, Venerable."

The Sami lowered his head in fear and apologized honestly.

"Hmm? Is there a barbecue inside? Why is it so lively? And why are there so many fire basins?"

A crisp female voice came from the entrance; the more one fears something, the more likely it is to happen. Dragon-Subduing Venerable wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked around the surroundings.

Seeing that everyone had finished burning the evidence, he straightened his clothes and went to open the temple gate to welcome Canary's arrival.

"Inspector, good afternoon~~"

Dragon-Subduing Venerable revealed a smile and said.

This Canary who arrived was also not simple; how should he put it? In the eyes of Dragon-Subduing Venerable, Canary only existed half the time; for the other half, Canary did not exist.

Canary flickered in front of him like this, which was quite strange.

"Hmm? Inspector? What are you doing?"

Dragon-Subduing Venerable asked in confusion.

"Don't mind it, it's just that I've been hit by a Curse."

The next moment, Canary bled from the seven orifices, fell to the ground, and disappeared, and then, under the dumbfounded gaze of Dragon-Subduing Venerable, another Canary stood up.

"Hmm? Is this the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book this time? Changed the Curse?"

Canary shook her head and then looked at Dragon-Subduing Venerable and said.

"Why are there so many pots here? You aren't destroying evidence, are you?"

"How could that be?"

Dragon-Subduing Venerable wiped the sweat on his head and said.

"We are clearly eating hot pot; don't you all agree?"

"Yes, Venerable, we are eating hot pot."

The Sami below said in unison.

"It's good that you aren't destroying evidence."

A smile curled at the corner of Canary's mouth, and then she took out a stack of documents and said.

"Dragon-Subduing Venerable, you have been exposed!!!"

"Let me see, good heavens, the incense commission report for the East District, a ninety-nine percent commission? You all are being too ruthless, aren't you?"

"Hmm??"

Dragon-Subduing Venerable looked at the incense commission report in Canary's hand and was completely stunned; wasn't this what he had just thrown into the Karma Fire to burn?

"Inspector, faking evidence is not good, you know."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Canary couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, then threw the evidence to Dragon-Subduing Venerable and said.

"Is this evidence fake? Where is this evidence fake? This is the ledger; go and check it yourself and you will know if it is real or fake."

The evidence was fake, but the content inside was real.

The more Dragon-Subduing Venerable flipped through it, the more speechless he became.

Is this evidence fake? This evidence was far too real.

"And how did you know this evidence was fake? You wouldn't have destroyed evidence, would you?"

Canary's gaze narrowed as she looked at Dragon-Subduing Venerable and said.

"No, how could that be?"

How could he dare to admit to this? Believe it or not, the moment he admitted it, he would be fired and thrown into prison the very next second?

Canary looked at the Dragon-Subduing Venerable, took out a book to check if there were any issues with him, but was slightly dumbfounded the next moment.

"How strange, how can you be this poor?"

For the first time ever, Canary saw a member of Buddhism who hadn't engaged in corruption, although it couldn't exactly be said that the Dragon-Subduing Venerable was clean, could it?

But as for things like extortion and graft, he really had never done them; let alone doing them, this Dragon-Subduing Venerable was so destitute that Canary didn't even know what to say.

This guy didn't even have a gilded Buddha statue at his base, as he couldn't even afford to brush it with gold paint.

As for things like destroying evidence? It was as if the evidence in Canary's hands were real.

The Dragon-Subduing Venerable looked at Canary with a strange expression.

He belonged to the Buddha-patriarch faction of Buddhism and followed the path of asceticism, so he really hadn't meddled much in the affairs of the lower levels; he had only come this time because he was entrusted by someone to destroy evidence.

He had thought that the problems within Buddhism were just a bit serious, but now he suspected that it was no longer at the level of being just "a bit serious."

He finally understood the look Canary was giving him, as if looking at a rare animal.

Yang Jian and Su Nian's judgment was damn accurate; was there really not a single clean person left in Buddhism??

He didn't think that he, a wine-and-meat monk, was particularly clean, but he really hadn't expected it.

That within Buddhism, he could actually count as clean??

And that he was even among the cleanest few??

The Dragon-Subduing Venerable sighed and watched as Canary took away the Sami present one by one.

Only he was left there, watching the Red Lotus Karma Fire crackling away in the large pots.

Stacks of secret records were burned and concealed, as if everything had never existed at all.
