In previous master selection ceremonies, the sacred bird would at most not be chosen. This was the first time I saw it being directly chosen, no, it was given wings.

How disgusting must Cheng Qingxue be to be slapped by such a gentle bird as the Holy Bird.

Not to mention that she won't be elected this time, she will have no chance of being elected as the Saint in the next term, the term after that, or even in this lifetime.

Cheng Qingxue was so shocked that she was speechless.

She had just assumed the posture of a winner, and everyone had witnessed her holding her head high.

She never expected such an unexpected thing to happen at the last moment.

How could she put her face down? Anyway, what was wrong with this bird? Why did it suddenly go crazy?

Pah! While Cheng Qingxue was stunned, the holy bird used its other wing to slap her on the right cheek!

If he could have argued before that the holy bird's action was unintentional, then this second slap was too obvious.

The holy bird went there just to beat her.

She deserves a beating! "Puff——"

Elder Ji couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Saint, oh saint, you are so clever and cunning, but you never expected that your own cleverness would backfire.

Is it because you have trained the sacred bird too much and ended up making it hate you?

Cheng Qingxue and Yin Xiaodie are the Ji family's strongest competitors. Now one of them is unconscious, and the other was hit in the face by a sacred bird.

The third one is the daughter of the Washan tribe, but Elder Ji does not think she can tame the sacred bird.

After her was Ji Roushu from the Ji family.

After the holy bird had smoked Cheng Qingxue, it flew and landed on a stone railing of the altar.

It's time for Cheng Qingxue to leave and be replaced by the next person.

At this moment, the Saint said solemnly: "Wait, something is wrong with the Holy Bird."

Everyone looked over at the pilgrimage bird.

The Saint also looked at the Holy Bird and said slowly, "The Holy Bird is gentle and never attacks anyone. To ensure the safety of all candidates, it is better to first find out what the Holy Bird is all about."

This is Baocheng Qingxue.

If it can be confirmed that there is indeed something wrong with the holy bird, then the previous failure will be invalid and we can wait until the holy bird is normal and start over again.

But others felt that what she said made sense. If there was really something wrong with the holy bird, wouldn't the next person to play also face the risk of being eliminated? As the thought flashed through their minds, no one stood up to object.

"What did the holy bird eat this morning?" the saint asked the disciple who was feeding the holy bird.

The disciple stepped forward and said, "In reply to the Saint, what the Saint Bird eats is no different from usual."

The Saint asked, "Are you sure?"

The disciple looked up.

Envoy Lu gave her a look.

She lowered her eyes. “It’s just a new batch of grain… We used to eat grain.”

The Lu envoy withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.

The Saint said, "Bring those grains here."

"yes."

The disciple left in a hurry.

Soon, she brought a bowl of cereal.

Su Xiaoxiao sat behind the curtain, carefully observing the movements of the saint.

Others might not be able to see it, but from her angle, she could clearly feel the saint's sleeves shaking.

It was at this moment that she was certain that the saint had secretly drugged the grains.

This happened in public, and I have to say that the saint is really brave.

The saint picked up a few grains and frowned, "Who mixed the mandrake seeds in it?"

When Mandala appeared, everyone in the Holy Maiden Palace was shocked, and even the faces of several elders turned unsightly.

Datura is a good medicine for making Ma Fei San, but excessive intake can cause mental disorder and temperament change.

If the holy bird had eaten it, it would not be surprising that Cheng Qingxue was slapped in the face.

Cheng Qingxue felt relieved and felt like she was alive again.

"I object!"

Su Xiaoxiao pulled aside the curtain and stood out.

Everyone's eyes fell on her.

"who is she?"

A young man in brocade clothes asked in the royal seat.

The eunuch at the side said, "In reply to Your Highness, she is today's eleventh candidate, and she is also from the Cheng family."

The young man asked, "Isn't Cheng Qingxue the only one in the Cheng family?"

When the saint saw that it was Su Xiaoxiao, her eyes turned a little colder.

"What do you object to?" the saint asked coldly.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I object to your insulting the sacred bird."

The Saint frowned and asked, "When did I insult the Holy Bird?"

Su Xiaoxiao walked up to the altar.

"The Holy Bird is the Eye of God, and it appoints the new Holy Maiden on behalf of God. How could it not be able to distinguish between poisonous seeds and good seeds? If you don't believe me, let's give it a try. Elder Lou, do you have any Datura seeds?"

Elder Lou didn't want to talk.

Su Xuan smiled quietly: "Mother-in-law."

Elder Lou: You’re so annoying!

Elder Lou threw out a bag of Datura seeds.

Su Xiaoxiao caught it.

"I know that it is not allowed to feed the sacred bird during the master selection ceremony. If I feed it, it will be more likely to choose me. For the sake of fairness, I voluntarily withdraw from today's election."

"What? She actually quit?"

"She was the first place in the first round."

"She still has the Cheng family's Patriarch Order in her hand."

“Isn’t this a pity?”

"Young girl, you are impulsive."

The more people whispered, the more they talked, the more convinced they became about Su Xiaoxiao.

She would rather give up the chance to become a saint just to give justice to the holy bird. What selfish motives could such a person have?

Su Xiaoxiao walked up to the altar.

Pour a few bird seeds out of the pouch and mix them with the datura seeds.

The holy bird flapped its wings and flew over. It ate up all the bird food in a few bites, but did not touch a single seed of the Datura.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Did everyone see that? The holy bird will not eat the seeds of the mandrake. The holy bird is not crazy!"

Are you kidding? Eating bird food from the pharmacy, the seeds of Datura are like pig food to the sacred bird.

It won’t eat it!

Su Xuan: "Mother-in-law."

Elder Lou: "Your sister is so anxious!"

Su Xuan: "Yes, she is my sister."

Elder Lou: “…”

Elder Lou said expressionlessly, "Since the Holy Bird is not going crazy, then the selection will continue. What do you think, Saint Lady and the elders?"

Naturally, others would have no objection if Cheng Qingxue could be eliminated.

Otherwise, if it really happened again, with the Saint's means, the Holy Bird would definitely choose Cheng Qingxue as its leader.

Several elders agreed.

"Saint, continue."

A sonorous voice came from the royal seat.

The saint had no choice but to clench her fists and let the selection continue.

However, the second-place daughter of the Washan tribe did not receive the favor of the holy bird.

Ji Roushu, who came in third, was not so lucky.

Fourth, fifth, and then sixth place went to Yue Qinghuan, the holy bird flapped its wings twice.

Yue Qinghuan's eyes lit up.

The next second, the holy bird stopped moving again.

Yue Qinghuan was extremely disappointed.

Just when everyone thought that no saint would be born in this generation, the holy bird suddenly flew up.

It broke open the curtain and flew into the elders' seat.

Yin Xiaodie had just woken up, looking confused and not knowing where she was, when a bird fell into her arms.

Holy Bird: Brother Wuhu, am I awesome?

5 Tigers: Great!

It's the end of the month, do you still have bird food tickets? Why not vote for the Five Tigers? The Five Tigers have to support their families, and there's not enough bird food!
