Chapter 907: Recognition, Face Slapping

“Don’t you even know your cousin?” Su Xiaoxiao questioned.

Su Xuan said extremely seriously, “My cousin is beautiful. Your appearance… is really far inferior to my cousin.”

“Stop sucking up to me. I won’t fall for it!”

Su Xiaoxiao tried her best to control the smugness in her eyes and asked seriously, “Why did you skip class?”

Su Xuan sighed softly and spread his hands. “I didn’t want to either. Weren’t you the one who asked me to protect Princess Hui An. I can’t leave it to others. I can only accompany her this time personally.”

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms. “Continue making it up.”

Without the Head of the Secret Service secretly helping her, how could Princess Hui An, that little white rabbit, escape Emperor Jing Xuan’s clutches? “In my opinion, you wanted to come yourself!”

Su Xuan smiled quietly and cleverly changed the topic. “Don’t you have to participate in the Holy Selection? It’s almost time.”

Su Xiaoxiao was not surprised that he knew that she was participating in the Holy Selection.

After all, he was the one who forged her identity as the daughter of the Cheng family.

He was also the one who provided Wei Ting and the others with accommodation.

He probably knew all of their whereabouts like the back of his hand.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Since you know, you should understand that I’m not going for the position of Saintess. I’ve already obtained the Snake Bone Flower. It doesn’t matter if I go or not.”

Su Xuan said softly, “Is that so? You don’t care about that young lady from the

Yin family? She’s not the Saintess’s match.”

These words successfully arrested Su Xiaoxiao. It dawned on her.

She had clearly barged into the forbidden area, but her qualifications to participate had not been terminated. It was most likely that the little one had gone to beg Elder Yin and Elder Yin had done something.

She could choose not to be the Saintess, but the little one needed it.

Not only was it to return the little guy’s favor, but it was also because the Holy Maiden Temple was a force to be reckoned with. It was best not to let it fall into the hands of someone with evil intentions.

She thought highly of the little guy and the Yin family. She hoped that the little one could become the next Saintess.

“You’re coming with me.”

Su Xiaoxiao was worried about letting this guy be alone again.

He always had a hundred reasons to skip class. Su Xiaoxiao decided to personally send him back to the Directorate after dealing with the matters in the southern border.

Su Xuan said helplessly, “If you insist, fine. But have you thought of how to settle that princess?”

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “Why do I feel that you’re quite willing?

Had she jumped into the pit dug by the Head of the Secret Service again?

Fifteen minutes later, the three of them got into the carriage.

Su Xiaoxiao changed Hui An’s appearance slightly. She was too eye-catching. Even if she disguised herself as a young man, she was unbelievably beautiful.

Her identity was Su Xuan’s little servant.

As for Su Xuan, he was the owner of the rice cake shop. He was from the same hometown as Su Xiaoxiao and was a survivor of the plague.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Holy Maiden Temple.

Su Xiaoxiao said to the two of them, “Wait for me in the carriage. I’ll be out soon.”

There were not many people who advanced to the third round. There were only 20 people, and these people were ranked according to their results.

The first was Yin Xiaodie. Once the Holy Bird chose her as its master, the Holy Selection would end.

As for the subsequent disciple selection and conferment ceremony, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t care and wouldn’t participate.

After she entered, Princess Hui An leaned against the window in boredom.

“Su Xuan, why do you think my sidekick is so busy? She always has endless things to do, be it in the capital, or in the southern border. When can she accompany me properly?”

Su Xuan smiled quietly. “Does Your Highness want to go in?”

Princess Hui An raised her head and looked at him with her big eyes. “Can I go

Su Xuan looked helpless. “If Princess Hui An orders it, I can only think of a way.”

Princess Hui An immediately said seriously, “I order you to bring me in!” Su Xuan stood up slightly and stuck his head out of the car window.

Princess Hui An sat close to the window. His action inadvertently made her head rub against his chest.

Princess Hui An’s long eyelashes trembled slightly. This was the first time she was so intimate with a man other than her father and brother— No, they seemed to have slept together last night.

But that was because she was afraid of snakes. It could not be counted.

She poked it with her index finger.

Hiss!

It hurt.

Wasn’t he a weak scholar?

Why was his chest so hard?

He seemed to be even tougher than Second Brother.

“Ah, I’m coming.”

Su Xuan sat back in his original seat and saw Princess Hui An pinching her fingers and blowing hard, as if she didn’t see anything.

“I’ll go down.”

With that, he lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.

At this moment, Elder Lou’s carriage had just arrived at the Saint Lady Temple.

The servant set up a carriage stool.

She walked down with her walking stick.

Su Xuan said, “Granny.”

Elder Lou seemed to have heard a bolt from the blue. Her body trembled and she almost missed a step!

Su Xuan reached out to support her in time. “Granny, be careful.” Elder Lou looked at him as if she had seen a ghost.

Her gaze seemed to be saying, “What trouble did you cause me again?”

The others did not take it to heart when they heard him greet her as Granny.

Elder Lou was indeed at the age where young people called her Granny. Wouldn’t those who didn’t know her call her that?

The coachman looked at the two of them curiously.

Elder Lou asked calmly, “Young man, what’s the matter?”

Su Xuan smiled gently. “Granny, I want to go in and see the Holy Selection.” Elder Lou was speechless.

The Holy Selection was very lively today. Among the four family heads, other than Cheng Sang who said that she was sick at home, the other three—the Yin family head, the Ji family head, and the Yue family head—were all here.

In the past, Xie Yunhe would attend such formal occasions with Cheng Lian, who was nominally the head of the Cheng family.

The situation this year was a little special.

Cheng Sang’s condition had improved, and the “lost” family head token had reappeared. If the two of them wanted to replace Cheng Sang, they had to show the family head’s token.

The two of them were blocked at the altar entrance of the Holy Maiden Temple. “They’ve already entered every year. Why don’t you let my parents in this year?” The person who asked was Cheng Qingxue.

She was going to become the Saintess today. She naturally hoped that her parents could witness such a glorious moment.

In addition, there were some unpleasant rumors on the streets today.

If her parents attended the Holy Selection as the head of the family, those rumors would be broken.

This was a great opportunity to regain face.

The female disciple at the entrance said, “Sorry, this is the rule of the Holy Maiden Temple.”

Cheng Qingxue asked unhappily, “Why didn’t this rule happen in the past?”

The female disciple’s attitude was still quite humble. “In the past, the Cheng family’s family head’s token was lost, so we can only follow the rules for such a situation. But now, since the Cheng family’s family head’s has been found, please show it.”

Cheng Qingxue frowned. ‘Where’s my sister? Didn’t she tell you not to stop my parents?”

She Imew that her sister had been punished.

Not allowing her to interfere in the Holy Selection meant that her sister could not use any of the Saintess’s privileges, but it did not mean that her people could not come.

The Saintess had to be present today.

“Did something happen?” Su Xiaoxiao slowly walked over.

The family of three had different expressions when they saw her.

Cheng Qingxue hated her to death. If she hadn’t interfered and snatched the

Holy Bird, how could she have let Yin Xiaodie take advantage of the loophole?

However, it did not matter. The Holy Bird would only acknowledge her as its master today!

Thinking of this, she felt much better.

She looked at Su Xiaoxiao arrogantly. “You came at the right time. Hurry up and hand over the family head’s token and let my parents in!”

Su Xiaoxiao turned to look at the female disciple at the side. “Do my grandfather and his concubine maid need a family head’s token to enter?” The word concubine made made Cheng Lian’s face turn pale.

The female disciple said awkwardly, “Someone other than the examinees… Yes.”

Su Xiaoxiao took out the family head’s token pand smiled faintly.. “Alright, other than me, no one from the Cheng family is allowed in!”
