Chapter 892: The Might of the Family Head
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wei Ting, Wei Qing, and Ghostfear sat in the study for a meeting.
Wei Liulang was hung on the treetop again.
The three of them did not even look up; it was as if they had expected this outcome.
Ghostfear looked at Wei Qing calmly. “What do you think?”
Wei Qing said, “He shouldn’t be lying, but whether what he said is true remains to be verified.”
Wei Qing chuckled. “That guy is right. This trip to the southern border is becoming more and more interesting.”
“Who’s that guy?” Wei Ting asked.
Wei Qing casually played dumb to demur. “In short, there’s such a person.”
Seeing that his second brother was unwilling to say, Wei Ting stopped asking.
Wei Liulang swayed on the branch. “Hey, you guys, at least get me down…”
The next day, Su Xiaoxiao woke up early.
Mei Ji was already squatting in the courtyard and eating sweet potatoes.
Looking at her eating heartily, she should be fine, but her face was still a little pale.
The last time, Mei Ji was attacked by the puppet expert of the Holy Maiden Temple and basically recovered in a night. From this, it could be seen that the Saintess’ martial arts were even above that the skills of the puppet expert.
As for whether all the puppet experts were inferior to the Saintess, Su Xiaoxiao could not conclude easily for the time being.
Su Xiaoxiao walked over and took Mei Ji’s pulse. “Remember to take the medicine. Take one every morning and night.”
“Alright,” Mei Ji agreed.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “You won’t be following me today. You won’t be able to enter the Holy Mountain even if you go. There’s nowhere to rest.”
Mei Ji said, “I can wait for you in the carriage.”
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head slightly. “There’s no need. Stay at home and take care of Cheng Sang.”
Mei Ji took a bite of the sweet potato. “Are you afraid that the old lotus will attack Cheng Sang?”
Su Xiaoxiao took off a leaf that had landed on her head. “Guess who she went to see last night?”
Mei Ji asked vaguely, “Who is it?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Uncle Han, although I don’t know what she said to Uncle
Han, Uncle Han immediately went to the Holy Maiden Temple after seeing her.
I guess it’s most likely related to me. She can’t sit still anymore.”
Mei Ji put down the half-eaten sweet potato. “If it’s related to you, shouldn’t I protect you even more? I’ll sneak into the Holy Mountain!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s better for you to stay at home and recuperate. I have ways to protect myself.”
It was not convenient to use her methods in front of Meiji.
After Su Xiaoxiao reminded Mei Ji, Cheng Sang woke up.
Su Xiaoxiao went to have breakfast with her.
After a few days of recuperation, Cheng Sang looked much better and was clean. Her clothes were no longer wrinkled, and there were no leaves or gra.s.s on her head.
It was not an exaggeration to say that she was refreshed.
“Mother, I still have to go out today. I’ll come back tonight.”
Su Xiaoxiao proved her credibility with her actions and Cheng Sang had grown more and more at ease with her. She pulled her to play for a while and personally sent her to the carriage.
This was also the first time Cheng Sang had stepped out of the Cheng family in so many years.
She sat in the wheelchair and looked at the blue sky above her. A trace of confusion flashed across her eyes.
Su Xiaoxiao tidied her hair and said softly, “Mother, I’m leaving.” Cheng Sang nodded. “Mother will wait for Weiwei to come back.”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Okav.”
Mei Ji pushed Cheng Sang.
Cheng Sang could walk, but she was too lazy to.
Su Xiaoxiao was about to get into the carriage when Xie Yunhe came over.
He was here to send Su Xiaoxiao to the Holy Mountain.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly and gestured behind Xie Yunhe with her eyes.
“Grandpa, are you sure you’re here to send me off?”
Xie Yunhe turned around and saw Cheng Lian and Cheng Qingxue at the door.
Cheng Lian was expressionless.
Cheng Qingxue looked aggrieved.
As for Cheng Sang, she had long gone away. She did not see Xie Yunhe acting as a doting father at all.
Xie Yunhe frowned.
Su Xiaoxiao said mockingly, “You should save this face for your concubine maidservant and concubine daughter. As the future head of the Cheng family, I don’t need it!”
After saying that domineeringly, she did not return to the carriage.
Xie Yunhe was so angry that his face turned ashen.
The Holy Mountain was located at the back of the Holy Maiden Temple and was connected to the Holy Maiden Temple. Because of its special nature, it had always been regarded as a forbidden area of the Holy Maiden Temple.
This was the year of the Holy Selection, so people had a chance to enter the Holy Mountain, but it was also clearly divided.
With the stream as the boundary, one could enter and exit the Southern Holy Mountain freely. However, they were not allowed to cross the stream to enter the Northern Holy Mountain.
When Su Xiaoxiao arrived at the entrance of the Southern Holy Mountain, many women had already gathered there. Yin Xiaodie was also there.
Yin Xiaodie saw her from afar and stood in the carriage, waving at her.
Su Xiaoxiao arrived too late and path ahead was already congested with carriages. She could only walk over. Fortunately, it was not too far.
“Why are you only here now?” Yin Xiaodie jumped out of the carriage. “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I can’t enter even if I’m early.”
Yin Xiaodie said, “That’s true, but you can get the right cards first. I’ve already helped you get them. Here!”
Su Xiaoxiao took the cards and hummed. “Can you collect this on someone else’s behalf?”
A certain little guy raised his chin proudly. “For others, of course not. But I’m Yin Xiaodie!”
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but want to pinch her face again.
Yin Xiaodie was pinched into a bun face. “If you continue to pinch me, I will take them back!”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and rubbed the top of her head.
Yin Xiaodie snorted, ” Hmph!”
Su Xiaoxiao noticed that everyone was sizing them up.
This was the treatment of getting first place in the first round. “Aren’t you curious why they’re looking at us like that?”
“Why?” Su Xiaoxiao asked despite knowing the answer.
Yin Xiaodie was indeed very happy. “It’s obvious that you didn’t pay attention to the results. You and I were tied for first place yesterday! Speaking of which, you wrote randomly yesterday. How can you still get first place?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Who said I wrote it randomly?”
Yin Xiaodie was shocked. “Did you really know the answers?”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Half of it?”
Yin Xiaodie didn’t know what to say.
Soon, it was their turn to enter the Holy Mountain.
Yin Xiaodie and Su Xiaoxiao handed in their cards and received a sheepskin map of the South Holy Mountain.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “What are the specific rules? Do we just look for the Holy Bird?”
Yin Xiaodie was used to her never listening to the rules.
Yin Xiaodie said, “Yes, it’s best for one to find the Holy Bird. If you can’t find the Holy Bird, finding the Holy Gra.s.s will be considered a pa.s.s. However…” “But what?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Yin Xiaodie coughed lightly. “You said last time that you wanted the Snake
Bone Flower, right?”
Su Xiaoxiao saw that her expression was strange. “What’s wrong? Is the Snake Bone Flower gone?
Yin Xiaodie sighed. “Last night, the King of the Southern Border sent Eunuch Jin to see the Saintess and took away the Snake Bone Flower in the Saintess’s bedroom.”
Su Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks.
Yin Xiaodie hurriedly said, “Don’t be anxious. Let me finish. There’s actually another Snake Bone Flower in the Holy Mountain… in the Northern Holy
Mountain..”
