Who Is Lying?

The Black Druggist had been put into a hood. The kind of hood usually used for condemned prisoners. He could breathe, but he could not see anyone outside the hood.

The knights thought that the Black Druggist was a scum who had no right to see the Goddess.

The Black Druggist was plump. He was forced to fall on his knees below the observatory. He did not mind the knights' rude behavior. Instead, he let out a strange laugh. 

"You may stand down now," said Ye Xinxia.

The knights looked surprised. They could not afford to leave the highly dangerous person alone with the Goddess.

Still, Ye Xinxia insisted for them to leave. Certain words were not meant to be heard by them, including her loyal knight, Hua Lisi.

Everyone left.

Only Ye Xinxia and the Black Druggist were at the observatory.
