Chapter 265 The Villain Lady Arrives 93
Tariq's words were like a heavy hammer, sounding the alarm in people's hearts.
Many people began to reflect on their own words and deeds and realized their narrow-mindedness and prejudice.
Alice seemed to feel the support and encouragement from afar. She raised her head slightly, her eyes gentle and firm, as if they could penetrate the crowd and echo Tariq from afar.
At this moment, the door of the temple slowly opened, and an old man in a white robe walked out slowly. He was the chief high priest of the Church of Light and a witness of the Saint Selection Competition.
His appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The high priest looked around with a deep and kind gaze. He spoke slowly in a loud and solemn voice:
"Everyone, today we have witnessed the will of the God of Light. Miss Alice has won the honor of the Saint with her outstanding talent and noble character. I know that some of you may have doubts or even dissatisfaction. But please remember that the God of Light is fair and his choices are never wrong. Miss Alice's success is the result of her years of hard work and persistence, and it is also the recognition of her faith and dedication by the God of Light."
The high priest's words were like a warm spring breeze, blowing away the haze in people's hearts. His words were full of wisdom and compassion, which made people believe him involuntarily. People began to re-examine Alice and found that the light in her was not false, but real and dazzling.
Tariq looked at the high priest, his eyes sparkling with gratitude and admiration. It was Alice's own efforts and persistence that won all this, but he also understood that sometimes, recognition and understanding from the outside world were equally important. The high priest's words undoubtedly won Alice more respect and support.
Alice stood bathed in the holy light, surrounded by soft and warm light, as if the whole world was crowning her at this moment.
She slowly opened her eyes, her clear eyes sparkling with crystal tears, but that was not sadness, but a mixture of emotion and determination. She felt the gazes from all directions, some of which were admiration, some were envy, and some were jealousy and doubt that were not easily detected.
However, these complex emotions did not waver her in the slightest, but instead made the fire in her heart burn even more fiercely.
She took a deep breath, and her eyes swept across the crowd gently and firmly. Everyone who met her eyes could feel the purity and strength from the bottom of her heart. Alice knew that at this moment, she was not only fighting for herself, but also for all those who believed in her and supported her.
At this moment, a sharp voice pierced through the noise of the crowd and pointed directly at Alice like a sharp sword:
"Hmph, that sounds nice, but who knows if there's any shady deal behind this?" The voice was full of obvious provocation and disdain, making the atmosphere around them instantly tense.
Alice frowned slightly, but soon regained her composure. She did not choose to escape or remain silent, but bravely stood up and faced the doubter and all those who had doubts. Her voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear and full of power that could not be ignored:
"I respect everyone's freedom of speech, and I understand that everyone here may have misunderstood me. But what I want to say is that I, Alice, have never done anything that goes against my conscience and beliefs. Everything I have is earned through my sweat and hard work."
She paused, her eyes more determined:
"The God of Light has witnessed my growth and transformation, and he has given me this power and mission. I have never thought of relying on anyone's help or behind-the-scenes deals to win this position. All I have done is to stick to my beliefs and prove with my actions that no matter what my background is, as long as I have light in my heart, I can illuminate the way forward."
Alice's words cleanse people's hearts like a spring, making those who were originally skeptical begin to re-examine their prejudices and misunderstandings. Her words are full of sincerity and power, which makes people believe in them involuntarily.
However, the doubts did not stop there. The young magician was obviously not going to give up his position easily. He sneered and challenged:
"It sounds good, but there is no evidence. How can you prove your innocence and hard work?"
Alice smiled slightly, that smile was both confident and gentle. She raised her hand and pointed to the holy emblem on her chest, which was the symbol of her identity as a saint.
: "My proof is hidden here. It is not just a badge, but also a symbol of my faith and responsibility. I have worked tirelessly for this goal in countless days and nights, and I have never backed down in the face of difficulties and challenges. Every failure and setback makes me more determined in my belief - that is, to use light to warm every soul in need of help."
Her words were full of power and appeal, causing people around her to nod in agreement. Those who had originally doubted her also began to re-examine their attitudes and words and deeds. Alice knew that true victory was not just about winning a game or a position, but also about winning people's hearts and respect.
At this moment, a gentle but firm voice rang out from the crowd: "Alice, I believe in you. I see every effort and sacrifice you make. You are not only my friend, but also a role model in my heart."
That was Tariq's voice. He stood in the crowd, looking at Alice gently and firmly, as if he was cheering her on with all his strength.
Alice turned around and looked at Tariq, tears of gratitude flashing in her eyes. No matter where she went, no matter what challenges and difficulties she faced, there were always people willing to stand by her side and give her support and encouragement. This strength and warmth was her greatest motivation to move forward.
She took a deep breath, and faced the crowd again, her voice more resolute and powerful:
"I thank everyone who supports and believes in me. I also ask those who doubt me to believe that time will prove everything. I will use my actions to prove my innocence and hard work, and to win the respect and recognition of more people. Because I believe that as long as there is light in my heart, it can illuminate the way forward."
Alice's words were like a powerful force that shook everyone's heart. People began to re-examine their own prejudices and misunderstandings, and began to look at this young and determined girl with a more open and tolerant attitude.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the temple suddenly became extremely solemn and sacred. The high priest slowly walked to Alice's side and looked at her with his eyes full of wisdom and love, as if he could see through her heart. He gently patted Alice's shoulder, his voice gentle but powerful:
"Ms. Alice, I am deeply pleased with your courage and determination. The choice of the God of Light is fair, and your success is well deserved. Please continue to move forward and use your light to warm the world."
Alice nodded, with a more determined light in her eyes. She knew that she still had a long way to go, but as long as she had faith and persistence, nothing was impossible.
She turned around, faced the crowd, bowed deeply, and said in her gentle but firm voice: "Thank you all for your support and encouragement. I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations and trust."
As Alice finished her words, thunderous applause and cheers rang out in the temple again.
At this moment, she was no longer the unknown girl, but became the focus and hope of everyone. Her light illuminated the entire temple and everyone's heart.
