After Su Xiaoxiao came out, Wuhu flapped it’S wings and moved towards her.
It was as if it had smelled bird food.
“You’re so smart!”
Su Xiaoxiao opened the pouch expressionlessly. “How many do you want?”
Wushu flapped its small wings and cried out excitedly, “Ten! Ten! Ten!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “You’re not allowed to speak like Xiaohu!”
Xiaohu’s accent led the Wuhu astray…
In a cold cave in the forbidden area of the Northern Holy Mountain.
When the Holy Maiden heard that someone had trespassed on the herb garden, she ordered someone to invite Elder Lou over.
“I let them go.” Elder Lou looked at Senior Sister Yu and the other three kneeling on the ground.
“Saintess, you don’t have to make things difficult for them.”
The Saintess said, “Under their care, the Snake Bone Flower was plucked away. They have sinned for not taking good care of it and should be punished.”
Senior Sister Yu cupped her hands. “I’m willing to accept my punishment!”
The other three also asked to be punished.
Elder Lou sighed and stopped talking.
The Saintess ordered someone to escort them to the water prison.
Elder Lou said, “If the Saintess is angry, just come at me. There’s no need to make an example.”
The Saintess said indifferently, “Elder Lou, you’ve misunderstood me. I didn’t think of making an example. I’m just stating the facts. They deserve punishment, so they received their just desserts. Elder Lou let that person go to protect a few overconfident disciples. Elder Lou has put in a lot of effort, so why would I have any grief with you? I just have something to verify with Elder Lou.”
Elder Lou said, “Saintess, please speak.”
The Saintess asked, “Is this person really the Jade-faced Rakshasa?”
Elder Lou paused and sighed. “I’ve never seen Rakshasa in person either. I’ve only seen that Rakshasa Sword in a picture book.”
The Holy Maiden said, “I understand. It’s all thanks to Elder Lou today. Otherwise, it would be a pity to lose a herb and so many talented disciples.”
Elder Lou said, “If I had known that the Holy Maiden was nearby, I wouldn’t have let him go no matter what. I was rude. At the same time, I congratulate the Holy Maiden. Your attainment of martial arts has entered the perfected realm. I couldn’t even sense that the Holy Maiden was approaching.”
A disciple reported at the door, “Saintess, Elder Yin is here.”
After coming out of the cave in the forbidden area, Elder Lou did not return to the Holy Maiden Temple immediately. Instead, she turned around and went to the back mountain behind the herb garden alone.
“Come out.”
An old voice sounded from her throat.
A white-robed man wearing a jade mask and holding a long sword walked out from behind the parasol tree.
“Granny, long time no see.”
Elder Lou sighed. “Do you have to cause such a big trouble for me the moment you arrived? Although my surname is Lou, I don’t like Louzi (messing around).”
The man smiled gently. “Granny, you must be joking.”
Elder Lou said, “I’ve already returned your kindness. Don’t disturb me in the future.”
The man smiled and said, “I still have to send my granny off.”
Elder Lou glanced at him from the corner of her eye. “There’s no need for that. You only have to remember what you promised me—regardless of whether you succeed or not in the future, you’re not allowed to kill people in the Holy Maiden Temple. Every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. Most of them are innocent disciples.” The man said, ‘”I’ll try.”
Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting went down the mountain.
Su Xiaoxiao asked him how he got in.
“There are many people. There will always be some who are greedy for money.” Wei Ting said.
Not everyone participating in the Holy Selection was here for the position of Saintess. Some only hoped to enter the Holy Maiden Temple to be a disciple without worry and earn a generous ration for their family.
“So you bought someone else’s spot? Where did you get the money?” Did he keep a secret stash?
Seeing her expression, Wei Ting knew what she was thinking.
He snorted. “Didn’t I give you all my money? What money can I have? Second Brother bought it.”
The baller, Wei Qing.
Very good, she would go back and tell Second Sister-in-law.
As Su Xiaoxiao thought about it, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. “You bought someone else’s spot to enter. Doesn’t that mean that you—Hey! Wait!”
Wei Ting did not wait for her. “Let me see it!”
Wei Ting slipped away.
At this moment, they were almost at the foot of the mountain. There were patrolling disciples of the Holy Maiden Temple everywhere.
Yin Xiaodie waited for her at the door and heaved a sigh of relief. Elder Yin must have arrived in time.
In order to beg Elder Yin to save a candidate who had barged into the Northern Holy Mountain, she shamelessly used her ability to cozy up to Elder Yin.
It was so embarrassing to think about it!
Naturally, she would not tell Cheng Su about this dark history.
“Here, here!”
She waved at Su Xiaoxiao.
After Su Xiaoxiao handed the holy grass she had picked and the matching cards to the disciple guarding her, she walked out.
Yin Xiaodie ran forward. “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time! Why did you only come out now?
You…”
She looked around and lowered her voice. “Do you have it?”
“Got it.”
It was the Snake Bone Flower that had already budded. She estimated that it would bloom in three to five days.
“And you?”
Su Xiaoxiao asked the little one.
“Here!” Yin Xiaodie proudly handed a golden pair of cards to Su Xiaoxiao.
“Did you advance?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Yin Xiaodie said proudly, “First place!”
The other advancements were only posted on the rankings. Only those who found the Holy Bird could obtain this symbol of reputation.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Is there a need to hand it over?”
Yin Xiaodie said, “No need. This is a reward for me. If you like it, I’ll give it to you! Anyway… you found it.”
Su Xiaoxiao returned the cards to her. “A gentleman loves money.”
It was definitely not because it was not pure gold.
Su Xiaoxiao bade farewell to Yin Xiaodie and got into their respective carriages.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t go far. She asked Uncle Quan’s coachman to stealth-park the carriage in the dark until Wei Ting came out in women’s clothes. She collapsed on the carriage couch in laughter.
In the end, she gave him some face and did not let him die on the spot.
“Let’s go.”
Su Xiaoxiao said to the coachman.
“Are you going back to the Cheng family?” the coachman asked.
“Go to Changliu Lane.”
“Yes, Miss.”
The carriage stopped at the door.
Li Wan was sewing a pouch for Wei Xiyue in the courtyard.
“Seventh Aunt.” Wei Xiyue obediently called out.
Su Xiaoxiao touched her head. “Xiyue is so obedient.” Then, she said to Li Wan, “Second Sister-in-law.”
Li Wan nodded and looked behind her. “Didn’t Little Seven come back with you? He said he went to look for you.”
Su Xiaoxiao held back her laughter. “He’ll be here soon.”
Li Wan pointed at Wei Ting’s room. “Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu are taking a shower.” The three children wanted to wash themselves and not let the adults get involved.
They were really getting more and more assertive.
Su Xiaoxiao planned to surprise the three little fellows when they came out of the shower.
Unexpectedly, just as she arrived at the door, she heard Xiaohu’s childish voice.
“Why is my jiji (chick) so small? Dahu, your jiji is so big! I don’t want my jiji! I want your jiji!” The scene of the boys fighting over their members immediately flashed across Su Xiaoxiao’s mind.
She pushed open the door. “No!”
The three little ones sat in the basin filled with warm water and looked at her blankly.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced around and realized that the three of them were each holding a lively yellow chick.
Su Xiaoxiao stammered, “So, so you were referring to this jiji..”
