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.

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.

No matter how smart she was, she wouldn’t have guessed that Su Xiaoxiao wanted the Snake Bone Flower and the formula for refining a puppet.

Su Xiaoxiao coaxed, “Alright, I came from a small town. It’s not strange for me to be ignorant.”

“That’s… true.” Yin Xiaodie looked at Su Xiaoxiao awkwardly and said seriously, “You’re not allowed to speak to me in the tone of coaxing a child!” “Okay,” Su Xiaoxiao agreed with a smile and pinched her cheek. “How cute.”

Yin Xiaodie was speechless.

Yin Xiaodie regretted speaking to her.

She had never had her face pinched since she was five years old!

This was really inappropriate!

Only children would have their faces pinched!

Yin Xiaodie decided to get back at her in other ways, such as showing off her knowledge.

She straightened her back and said, “The test is to deduce the stars. You need to know the weather and celestial consumption and tell the people when to farm and when to harvest. Farming is the foundation of the people and ensures the stability of the country. Farming time is very important. You can’t make a mistake.”

This was really not something a nine-year-old child could say.

Sometimes, a child’s words and actions could reflect the bearing of the family.

The Yin family was not bad.

Yin Xiaodie was not bad.

“You’re quite impressive,” Su Xiaoxiao praised.

“Of course.” Yin Xiaodie accepted.

Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully, “In that case, the Saintesses are all capable.”

“Of course they’re capable! No one who came to participate is an idiot. Take Cheng Qingxue for example. Don’t judge at her not being too smart. That’s because she’s been spoiled by her family and doesn’t know how to restrain her personality. However, she’s been nurtured since she was young.” After a pause, Yin Xiaodie added, “Of course, she’s far inferior to me!”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh.”

Yin Xiaodie spoke like an adult, “Stay close to me later. I’ll teach you and guarantee your advancement!”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “Okay.”

On the other side, Wei Xu finally woke up again after sleeping for the entire night.

He had been controlled by the medicine for too long and his mind was a little confused.

He didn’t remember who he was or what he had done. His head and body felt like they were about to explode.

However, he did not go crazy like the other puppets.

He tried his best to control the surging of his internal energy.

Clang!

The door burst open.

Xiaohu ran in with the small gong.

“Grandpa, save me!”

Xiaohu was in trouble again.

Wei Ting was first punched by his father last night, then beaten up by his two brothers.

After returning from spending a good night with his wife in the middle of the night, he swaggered around and received his three brothers’ three beatings again.

This time, even Wei Qing participated; the assassin did it for him.

Wei Ting was really miserable. It was not easy for him to catch up on sleep.

However, his Xiaohu actually ran to his room to hit the gong…

Wei Ting, who had been a poor father, decided to teach the little brat a lesson.

Xiaohu hurriedly carried the gong to climb into bed.

Aiyaya, he couldn’t climb up!

He was going to catch up! He was going to catch up!

His little Butt was going to be beaten up! “Stop right there! See if I don’t teach you a lesson today…”

Wei Ting rushed over murderously.

Bang!

The moment he stepped into the room, the originally open door was slammed shut by a strong force.

Wei Ting’s head buzzed..
