Chapter 881: Wei Xu Who Dotes On His Grandchildren
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the meeting hall of the Holy Maiden Temple, the Saintess and the eight elders sat in their respective seats.
An elder surnamed Liu looked at the Saintess and said, “Saintess, please explain what happened last night.”
The Saintess said neither servile nor overbearing, “Last night, someone barged into the Qionghua Hall and injured many disciples of the Saintess Temple. This is my negligence. After the Holy Selection, I will go to the Holy Mountain to receive my punishment.”
The Holy Mountain was a forbidden area of the Holy Maiden Temple. If the
Saintess made a serious mistake, she would go to the Holy Mountain to reflect.
As soon as these words were spoken, the elders were silent for a moment before looking at the white-haired Elder Lou.
She was the oldest and most experienced elder now. Her status was almost comparable to the Saintess.
Seeing that everyone had thrown the hot potato to her, Elder Lou did not casually throw it away.
She said, “If that’s all, there’s no need to go to the Holy Mountain to suffer. However, I also heard some bad things.”
The Saintess said, “Elder Lou, please speak.”
Elder Lou’s expression was gentle, but her gaze was sharp. “Did you refine puppets privately in the Qionghua Hall?”
Everyone’s gaze returned to the Saintess’s face.
The Holy Maiden said seriously, “No.”
Elder Ji smiled faintly. “But why did I hear that an expert escaped from your
Qionghua Hall?”
The Saintess asked, “Who did Elder Ji hear it from? Why don’t you call her up and let her confront me?”
The corners of Elder Ji’s lips twitched. “There’s no wind from an empty hole.
The outside world is spreading that you raised a man in the secret room of the Qionghua Hall and gave birth to four children with him. One is a daughter, and the other three are triplets. The rumors depicted a vivid description, and it’s really damaging the reputation of the Holy Maiden Temple. I believe that the Saintess won’t violate the rules of the Holy Maiden Temple. However, if such rumors are only caused by the escape of the puppet that the Saintess refined privately, it’s better for the Saintess to clarify it early. Anyway, it’s not a big mistake to raise a puppet privately.”
The Saintess looked at Elder Ji meaningfully. “Elder Ji seems to be very interested in the puppet I raise?”
Elder Ji mocked indifferently, “Every generation of Saintesses has their own trusted puppets. You’re not the first to do this. Although we don’t say it on the surface, we actually know it in our hearts.”
The Saintess sneered. “In that case, Elder Ji also secretly hid a few puppet experts when she was the Saintess?”
Elder Ji gasped and said coldly, “I didn’t!”
The Saintess swept her gaze across everyone and she said firmly, “I didn’t refine puppets privately in the Qionghua Hall, nor did I hide any men, nor did I give birth to four children with any man. If there’s nothing else, the Holy Selection is about to begin.”
A few elders hesitated.
Elder Lou’s old voice sounded. “Alright, this matter ends here. Go prepare for the Holy Selection.”
The few of them stood up and waited for the Saintess and Elder Lou to leave before leaving.
Elder Ji walked last. She looked at the Saintess’s back. “You speak as if it’s true!”
His trusted disciple said, “Elder Ji, could they have made a mistake last night?” Elder Ji narrowed his eyes. “They’re all well-trained assassins. The clues left behind before they died can’t be wrong. There was a man and four children in the secret room! As long as we find them, the position of the Saintess will belong to the Ji family.”
Just like the preliminaries, the selection was also divided into three rounds. Only those who passed each round were qualified to enter the next round.
The first round was divided into two rounds. One in the morning and one in the afternoon.
“They’ll conduct the medical examination in the morning and the math examination in the afternoon.”
Yin Xiaodie explained enthusiastically to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao could understand the medical examination. To put it bluntly, the Holy Maiden Temple was a religion. Its constitution was a little similar to the former White Lotus Society.
The difference was that the White Lotus Society believed in Buddha, and because of MO Guiyuan’s selfishness, it finally turned into a cult.
The Holy Maiden Temple believed in the Heavenly Gods of the southern border. From the current situation, the Holy Maiden Temple had contributed a lot in the southern border.
As the servant of the Heavenly God, the Saintess conveyed the Heavenly God’s decree. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
In order to strengthen their reputation, the people of the Holy Maiden Temple were also proficient in the Qihuang technique and took on the function of saving the dying and helping the injured. “Why do you still need to take the math test?”
Su Xiaoxiao voiced her doubts.
“It’s obvious that you haven’t done your homework. I seriously doubt if you’re running for the Saintess position.”
Of course not.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “If I’m not here to run for the Saintess position, then why am I here?”
This question stumped Yin Xiaodie.
