It was already night, and rotating octagonal glazed lanterns were hung in the corridor. There were also many hung around the courtyard, lighting up the dark yard to make it bright and spacious.

The three little ones were squatting on the ground playing marbles, while Wei Xiyue was sitting on the steps holding a jar.

Whoever hits one will be fed a candied walnut kernel by Sister Xiyue.

When Mei Ji came over, Xiaohu had just scored a goal... the only one tonight, Dahu and Erhu had already scored several.

Little Tiger was so happy that he danced with joy and ran to Wei Xiyue, fluttering his little arms behind him and opening his little mouth, waiting obediently to be fed.

Wei Xiyue quietly fed him three pills.

It can be said that he dotes on Xiaobai very much.

"Sister Meiji."

The young gentleman Erhu was the first to discover Meiji.

"Erhu!" Mei Ji's eyesight was pretty good, she could tell the three little guys apart clearly.

Xiaohu is the one who loves to play badly the most. If you see someone not moving, it must be Xiaohu.

Dahu is the most diligent, and he must be the one who sweats the most while playing.

Erhu is a little cunning and likes to be lazy without leaving any trace.

She walked over and pinched Wei Xiyue's face: "Xiyue."

He rubbed the heads of the three little ones again, "Big Tiger, Second Tiger, Little Tiger."

The four little ones all looked behind her.

Erhu asked, "Sister Meiji, where is mother?"

Mei Ji said: "Your mother is busy and can't come over."

Hearing this, the three little ones felt sad and upset.

Meiji took out the hand behind her back, and in her palm was a box of southern Xinjiang specialty rice cakes: "But she missed you very much, so she asked me to bring you some snacks. Be good, and you will be able to see your mother soon."

The three of them nodded vigorously!

Mei Ji distributed the rice cakes to the four children, and then went to the study to meet Wei Ting and her husband and his party.

When the brothers saw the hand in the portrait, their expressions changed at the same time.

When Wei Yan was a child, he was the most mischievous one in the family.

Once the whole family went to the farm to escape the summer heat, but he refused to stay in the house and insisted on running out to disturb the cotton in the field.

He fell and almost fell headfirst on the sickle, but his father arrived in time and caught the disobedient boy.

But he lost his balance and pressed on the sickle, which tilted upwards and cut from the palm to the back of his hand.

Is there a second scar like this in the world? The brothers felt their blood boiling.

"Could it be Dad?" Wei Liulang's voice trembled.

"It's hard to say right now." Wei Qing remained calm, "You can't conclude that he's my father just based on a scar."

Gui Bu said: "I'm going to the Saint's Palace."

Mei Ji said, "Death warriors have no past, what are you going to do?"

The choked ghost said: "..."

Mei Ji sighed, "You should have explored the Saint Maiden Hall before. It's not easy to enter, right? There are so many experts and the Snow Region Silkworm Silk as a guardrail. It's a life-threatening situation to enter. It's best not to act rashly."

"Have you broken into the Holy Maiden's Temple?" the killer asked.

Mei Ji said nonchalantly, "Oh, I went there once and got hit by a sword energy, but now I'm fine. The damn thing is that I didn't even see what the other person looked like."

The killer frowned.

Wei Liulang said, "If I had known you would go secretly, I would have warned you. The masters of the Saint Maiden Palace are indeed a bit strange. My brother and I almost had a fight with them."

"You just run away fast."

After spending a long time with Su Xiaoxiao, Mei Ji has also learned to speak directly to the point.

Wei Liulang coughed lightly.

Gui Bu said thoughtfully: "Those are not ordinary masters, they are death warriors, but... they are not quite the same as death warriors like me."

"Why is it different?" Mei Ji asked.

Gui Bu said: "They don't have their own thoughts. Ordinary dead soldiers just don't have a past, but they... are more like puppets."

Mei Ji snorted, "No, I think some of the dead men still have a past."

Gui Bu: This joke is not going to work, right? Mei Ji held her cheek with one hand: "Could it be... they are planning to turn that person into a puppet as well?"

Wei Ting said calmly: "What do you mean?"

Wei Qing said: "I have heard that there is a secret technique in southern Xinjiang that can control people's minds. Although the rumor is exaggerated, this drug that confuses people's minds may really exist."

Wei Liulang pondered, "Five years ago, we all lost some of our memories at Suibei Pass. Could this be related to this secret technique?"

It is tragic enough that my eldest brother has become a assassin. The Wei family cannot afford to have another puppet who can be manipulated by others.

Wei Ting frowned and said, "We all underestimated Southern Xinjiang."

Whenever countries mentioned Southern Xinjiang, they all mocked it as a barbaric land, or mentioned it with disdain. However, they had no idea that Southern Xinjiang had been dormant for many years, secretly cultivating its power, expanding its military strength, and at all costs recruiting the world's masters to take it for themselves.

Southern Xinjiang is already an awakened beast.

…

When Mei Ji returned to Cheng's house, Cheng Sang had already gone to bed, but he was not sleeping in his own room, but next to Su Xiaoxiao.

"She sleeps here, where should I sleep?" Mei Ji asked.

Mei Ji was a maid in name only, but not a real maid, so how could she sleep on the floor like a maid?

She sleeps with Su Xiaoxiao every night.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly: "I was away for too long during the day, she was scared and insisted on sleeping with me at night."

Meiji sighed, "Well, squeeze in. Eh? What is this?"

Meiji saw the token on the table.

"The order from the head of the Cheng family." Su Xiaoxiao said.

Mei Ji looked puzzled: "Why is the Cheng family's Patriarch Order here? Don't tell me Xie Yunhe gave it to me."

"Cheng Sang gave it to me." Su Xiaoxiao repeated Cheng Sang's original words.

Mei Ji was stunned: "Wait, before Old Master Cheng died, the baby girl had already passed away, why did he say that the Patriarch Order could only be given to Weiwei? There is no Weiwei in the world at all."

Su Xiaoxiao said, "If I can't wait for Weiwei in my lifetime, I will never give out the Patriarch Order. This must be what Old Master Cheng meant. He wants her to hold the Patriarch Order in her hand forever."

"Old Master Cheng is a wonderful man." Mei Ji admired him sincerely, "As long as Xie Yunhe and Cheng Lian don't get the order from the head of the family, they must keep Cheng Sang alive. Old Master Cheng even moved out his dead granddaughter. He really has good intentions."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "For Cheng Sang who has gone crazy, this is the only way to do it."

Mei Ji said thankfully: "Fortunately Cheng Sang is obedient, and fortunately her daughter comes first in her heart. But why did she suddenly give you the title of Patriarch?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I said, I want to participate in the election of the Saint."

Meiji looked at her blankly: "You...are running for the Saint?"

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "This is the only chance to enter the Saint Maiden Hall again."

Meiji tossed the Patriarch Order in her hand over and over again: "So, you plan to take this to participate in the Holy Selection?"

…

Peony Courtyard.

Cheng Lian applied medicine to her daughter's face and said, "You will be completely healed tomorrow and can take off your veil."

"It's so annoying!" Cheng Qingxue complained.

"What's wrong again?" Cheng Lian asked with a smile.

Cheng Qingxue muttered, "When we went to register today, I was the only one among the daughters of the four major families who didn't have a family head order. Even the nine-year-old Yin Xiaodie had one! How embarrassing!"

Cheng Lian said gently, "Everyone knows the situation in our family. Your aunt has been crazy for so many years. I don't know where she forgot the family head order. She can't find it even if you ask her. There is nothing we can do about it."

Cheng Qingxue was not so easily comforted: "They didn't say it, but they must be laughing at me in their hearts for not being the heir of the Cheng family."

Cheng Lian stroked her hair and said, "You and your sister are both heirs of the Cheng family. Don't care what others say. Go to bed early. Don't you have to take an exam tomorrow morning?"

Cheng Qingxue stamped her feet: "Don't mention it, they don't have to take the exam, only I have to take it!"

Those with the order from the family head can be exempted from the first three rounds of examinations and directly enter the palace selection three days later.

Cheng Lian smiled comfortingly: "Aren't those exams easy for you? Your sister taught you this morning."

Cheng Qingxue said dissatisfiedly: "We still need a physical examination!"

The first round is the physical examination.

Cheng Lian smiled and said, "Well, didn't your sister go through the same thing back then? With all the names of Miss Yin, Miss Ji, and Miss Yue, the final position of the Saintess will definitely be yours."

Cheng Qingxue felt better: "Yes, sister has arranged everything. I will definitely become a saint!"
