The sacrifice was completed, but the rain did not come. The people under the altar were furious and took their anger out on Jiang Muxia who took the children away.

The people below the stage were all in one. They didn't dare to vent their anger on the goddess, but shouted in unison to the back of the hall, "Let the culprit Jiang Muxia get out. It's not that she was so smart as to meddle in other people's business and angered the gods. How could the prayer for rain fail? It's us ordinary people who are suffering."

"Jiang Muxia relied on her good looks to seduce the owner of the Xu Family Tavern at the ferry crossing. He fell in love with her and changed the owner. Then she hooked up with Tang Juecao. I heard that they are both engaged... What a slutty girl, so shameless..."

"That's right! You must be jealous of the goddess's magical powers, and you dragged Tang Juecao to the sacrificial ceremony just to sabotage it. So that people will look up to her..."

"Such a vicious bitch, we must get rid of her today and restore the blue sky and white sky to Suanzao County..."

"The goddess said that someone used a vicious method to transfer bad luck to our Suanzao County. Think about it, everyone, is it this Jiang Muxia who brought us bad luck? If she hadn't come to the sacrifice site, today's prayer for rain would have been successful. It was her, it was her, who caused the sacrificial ceremony to fail because of the disturbance."

"That's right, goddess. Have someone bring her out. Only if she is sacrificed on the spot can the current situation be reversed. What do you think, isn't that right?"

The people in the audience echoed, "Yes."

Tang Zhongbai listened to every word the people in the audience cursed at her. His face turned as dark as iron, his eyes were filled with coldness, and his fists were tightly clenched around the soft sword.

He suppressed himself just to avoid causing greater disputes.

"You wait here. If I don't come back, you have to find a way to leave here." After saying this, Yin Yusheng walked out of the side of the hall and strode towards the altar.

At this time, the altar was covered in blood because two sacrificial pigs had just been slaughtered, and the ground was filled with a foul smell of blood.

The Goddess of Tianji put away the wooden sword, dressed in fluttering white, stood in the center of the altar, and looked at the people.

He neither explained nor argued for the failure of the sacrifice, but just stood there tall and straight.

The maids were still divided into two rows, standing on both sides of the altar, guarding the goddess.

No one noticed how Yin Yusheng ran to the altar. By the time people reacted, he was already standing behind the Goddess Tianji.

The people didn't care who he was. They just cursed at him from the audience, condemning the person they called a sinner with every word.

Sensing the strangeness of the people, the Goddess of Tianji slowly turned around and saw that the person behind her was a handsome man who was less than 20 years old. She smiled and said, "I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

Yin Yusheng bowed to her, raised his right hand, pointed to the sky, and said in a steady and clear voice, "It's going to rain. You clearly knew it, so why did you watch the people transfer their anger to an innocent person and remain silent? You call yourself a goddess, shouldn't you save all living beings? Why did you watch an innocent woman being cursed and didn't say anything to stop it?"

The goddess' eyes lit up and she became curious about him. She didn't even know when there was such an intelligent and handsome man in Suanzao County.

She took two steps forward, stared into Yin Yusheng's eyes, and replied with a shy smile: "Yes, why didn't I stop it? Tell me?"

Yin Yusheng sneered, "I don't bother to guess what's in your mind. The will of heaven is in the hearts of people. The rain will fall soon, and the people will naturally stop holding on to a woman."

"Since you know, why are you asking me?"

"We just met once, and seeing that you were trapped in your inner demons, I tried to give you some advice out of kindness. Since you didn't believe me, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"My dear, you haven't even said anything yet, how do you know I don't believe you?"

Yin Yusheng stared at her flowing eyes. She was a self-proclaimed goddess, but her eyes were full of worldly cruelty. He was disdainful of trying to persuade such a person. "I have already been informed of your words and deeds. Take care of yourself."

Yin Yusheng turned around and walked forward step by step with determination.

The maid stepped forward to stop him, but the goddess flicked her sleeves, signaling the maid to step back and make way for him to leave smoothly.

The Goddess Tianji watched him walk down the altar, turn a corner and go to the back of the hall.

She was moved. Could it be that this person was in cahoots with Tang Zhongbai and Jiang Muxia?

What a pity, for a moment, she wanted to keep him by her side.

She turned around and stood in the middle of the altar again, with her arms raised. Her wide-sleeved white gauze dress made her look like a fairy who had just descended to earth.

"Dear believers, the sacrifice was successful. Heavy rain is coming soon. Go home quickly before it rains!"

The people in the audience looked at each other. It was a sunny day and the sun was scorching hot. How could it rain?

However, they did not dare to question the goddess's will, and all stood on the stage without anyone leaving.

The goddess had said that she would pray for rain today, and now that their wish had not been fulfilled, they were unwilling to leave.

After the Goddess of Tianji finished speaking, she ignored them and left the altar surrounded by her maids and walked towards the back of the hall.

The people were angry and thought that the goddess was bewitched by the handsome man just now, and they tried to exonerate Jiang Muxia.

The anger that had just been suppressed rose up again.

This time, the target was turned to Yin Yusheng, and the words used were exactly the same as those used to insult Jiang Muxia.

The people's voices were so loud and deafening that even the sky was startled. A dark cloud floated over the Chaoguan, casting a shadow, plunging the entire Chaoguan into shadow.

The people raised their heads and looked up into the sky, "Why are there dark clouds?"

"Did the sacrifice really succeed?"

The Goddess of Tianji walked to the corner of the hall and raised her head slightly. Her white veil fluttered in the wind, and a corner of the white veil revealed the corners of her upturned lips.

It is difficult to defy fate. It seems that God is on the master's side, and the master's long-cherished wish is about to be fulfilled.

She had been lurking here for years just for this day, and this year's drought had been a great help.

She would also like to thank the many people who secretly helped her by passing on the message to her.

Those who are righteous have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous have few supporters. God is on the master's side, so he must be a righteous man.

A cool breeze blew, the dark clouds gathered thicker and thicker, and the cool breeze became stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd said in surprise, "The raindrops fell on my face. It's raining, it's really raining. The Goddess of Tianji is indeed very powerful. Let's all come to thank her."

The people prostrated themselves on the ground, expressing their gratitude to the Goddess of Tianji.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The land, which had been thirsty for a long time, opened its mouth and drank the sweet rain given by God hungrily.

Tang Zhongbai and others who were hiding beside the main hall took advantage of the heavy rain and the scattering of the people to quietly leave the temple.

After several people got on the black-covered carriage, Tang Zhongbai turned back into the confident and sunny boy he usually was.

He turned his gaze to Zhizhi and said firmly, "I have thought of a way to escape."

"what?"

"The solution to escape this predicament lies with Zhizhi."

Jiang Muxia looked at him with unclear eyes, waiting for his explanation.
