Chapter 1046 Lily and the Not-as-Great Escape

"If you surrender peacefully you will not be injured before being brought to trail," said the lead maid with the sword. 

"Counter offer," said Lily, "Would you be willing to accept the fact that Meng has been replaced with an imposter and we worked mostly by accident because of true sight?" Lily wasn't going to mention that it wasn't her true sight, or that there was another person involved in this at all. 

"While that sounds impossible, I'm sure the elders will be willing to hear you out," said the maid with a toothed smile. Lily was getting the feeling that while they would 'hear them out' it was more so that they'd be able to laugh at the absurdity of the claim afterwards, not that they would take her seriously.
