An elder named Liu looked at the Saint and said, "Saint, please give us an explanation for what happened last night."

The Saint said calmly, "Someone broke into the Qionghua Palace last night and injured many disciples of the Saint Palace. This is my dereliction of duty. After the Holy Selection is over, I will go to the Holy Mountain to receive the punishment."

The Holy Mountain is a forbidden area of ​​the Holy Maiden Temple. If the Holy Maiden commits a serious mistake, she will go to the Holy Mountain to reflect on her mistakes.

After these words were spoken, all the elders were silent for a moment, and then they all looked at the white-haired Elder Lou.

She is the oldest and most experienced elder today, and her status is almost comparable to that of a saint.

Elder Lou saw that everyone had thrown the hot potato to him, so he stopped throwing it away randomly.

She said, "If it were just this, there would be no need to go to the Holy Mountain to be punished. However, I have heard some bad things."

The Saint said, "Elder Lou, please speak."

Elder Lou looked gentle, but his eyes were sharp: "You secretly made puppets in Qionghua Palace?"

Everyone's eyes returned to the saint's face.

The Saint said sternly, "No."

Elder Ji smiled faintly: "But why did I hear that a master escaped from your Qionghua Palace?"

The Saint asked, "Who told you this, Elder Ji? Why not call her over and let her confront me face to face?"

Elder Ji's lips twitched. "There is no smoke without fire. It's being said that you kept a man in the secret room of the Qionghua Palace and gave birth to four children with him, one is a daughter, and the other three are triplets. The rumors are so detailed that they really damage the reputation of the Saint's Palace. I believe that the Saint will not violate the rules of the Saint's Palace. However, if such rumors are caused only because the puppet you secretly refined escaped, you should clarify it as soon as possible. Anyway, raising puppets privately is not a big mistake."

The Saint looked at Elder Ji meaningfully: "Elder Ji seems to be very interested in the puppet I raised?"

Elder Ji sneered: "Every saint lady in history has her own trusted puppets. You are not the first one to do so. Although everyone doesn't say it openly, they all know it in their hearts."

The Saint smiled coldly: "So, when Elder Ji was the Saint, he also secretly hid a few puppet masters?"

Elder Ji took a breath and said coldly: "I don't have it!"

The Saint's eyes swept over the crowd and she said in a resounding voice, "I did not secretly refine puppets in the Qionghua Palace, nor did I hide a man, nor did I give birth to four or five children with any man. If there is nothing else, the Holy Selection will begin."

Several elders hesitated to speak.

Elder Lou's old voice sounded: "Okay, let's end this matter here. Let's all prepare for the Holy Election."

Several people stood up and waited for the Saint Lady and Elder Lou to leave before leaving.

Elder Ji walked at the end. She looked at the Saint's back and said, "It sounds like the truth!"

The trusted disciple asked, "Elder Ji, could it be that they made a mistake last night?"

Elder Ji narrowed his eyes and said, "They are all well-trained killers. The clues they left before they died could not be wrong. There is a man and four children in the secret room! As long as we find them, the position of Saintess will belong to the Ji family."

The palace selection is divided into three rounds, just like the primary selection. Only those who pass each round are eligible to enter the next round.

The first round is divided into two games, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

"In the morning, we will take the medical examination, and in the afternoon, we will take the mathematics examination."

Yin Xiaodie enthusiastically explains science to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao could understand the medical test. To put it bluntly, the Holy Maiden Temple was a religion, and its origin was somewhat similar to the former White Lotus Sect.

The difference is that the White Lotus Sect believes in Buddhism, and due to Mo Guiyuan's selfishness, it eventually turned into a cult.

The Holy Maiden Temple believes in the Southern Xinjiang God. Judging from the current situation, the Holy Maiden Temple has done more good than bad in Southern Xinjiang.

As the servant of the gods, the saint conveys the gods' will.

In order to enhance their reputation, the people in the Holy Maiden Palace also mastered the art of medicine and took on the responsibility of saving lives and healing the wounded.

“Why do we need to take the math test?”

Su Xiaoxiao expressed her doubts.

"I can see from the time that you haven't done your homework properly. I seriously doubt whether you are running for the Saint Lady."

Of course not.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "I'm not here to run for the title of Saint, then what am I here for?"

This question stumped Yin Xiaodie.

No matter how smart she was, she would never guess that Su Xiaoxiao wanted to get the snake bone flower and the recipe for refining puppets.

Su Xiaoxiao coaxed him softly, "Okay, I'm from a small town, so it's not surprising that I'm ignorant."

"That's true..." Yin Xiaodie glanced at Su Xiaoxiao awkwardly and said sternly, "Don't talk to me like a kid!"

"Okay." Su Xiaoxiao agreed with a smile and pinched her little fat. "So cute."

Yin Xiaodie regretted having the same number with her.

She hasn't had her face pinched since she was five! This is really not a gentleman, okay!

Only children get their faces pinched!

Yin Xiaodie decided to save face in other ways, such as by showing off her vast knowledge.

She straightened her back and said, "The reason for taking the math test is to calculate the stars, know the weather and solar terms, and tell the people when to farm and when to harvest. Agriculture is the foundation of the people, and a solid foundation means national security. The farming season is very important and cannot be made wrong."

These are not words that a nine-year-old would utter.

A child’s words and actions can sometimes reflect the face of the family.

The Yin family is good.

Yin Xiaodie is good.

"You are quite good." Su Xiaoxiao praised generously.

"That's right." Yin Xiaodie accepted it.

Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully: "It seems that the saints are all really capable."

"Of course they have real skills! None of the candidates are fools. Take Cheng Qingxue for example. Don't be fooled by her appearance that she is not very smart. That's because she was spoiled by her family and doesn't know how to restrain her temper. But she has been trained in medicine and mathematics since she was young."

After a pause, in order to avoid the suspicion of boosting others' morale and destroying her own prestige, Yin Xiaodie added: "Of course, he is far inferior to me!"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."

Yin Xiaodie said like a little adult: "Come closer to me later, I will teach you and ensure that you advance!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "Okay."

…

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

He had been under the control of drugs for too long and his mind was somewhat confused.

He didn't remember who he was, what he had done, and he felt as if his head and body were about to explode.

But he didn't go crazy like the other puppets.

He tried hard to restrain the surge of his inner strength.

clang!

The door burst open.

Little Tiger ran in, chirping, holding a small gong.

"Grandpa, help me!"

Xiaohu is in trouble again.

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

After returning from a wonderful night with his wife in the middle of the night, he showed off in a very rude manner and was beaten three times by his brother again.

This time even Wei Qing got involved, with the killer doing the job for him.

Wei Ting was really miserable. He finally got some sleep.

Xiaohu actually ran to his room and rang the gong—

Wei Ting, who was no longer in power as a father, decided to teach the kid a lesson.

Xiaohu hurriedly climbed onto the bed carrying the gong.

Oh no, I can’t climb up anymore! They’re chasing me! They’re chasing me! My little butt needs to be rescued!

"Stop right there! I'm going to teach you a lesson today—"

Wei Ting rushed over with murderous intent.

Bang! The door that was originally open was slammed shut with great force the moment he stepped into the room.

Wei Ting's head buzzed when he was hit.

I want to say something, so I'll spend half an hour writing and deleting some irrelevant things, and now I'd better say good night.
