"I hope the price offered by the lord will be enough to repay the kindness of raising me over the years, hehe."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Suyao slowly took a few steps back and knelt down.
Every movement seemed to have been practiced hundreds or thousands of times.
The white skirt was stained with mud, and the sleeves were covered in dust.
Her kneeling was so fluid, yet you could see the deep reluctance in her expression.
Although he was kneeling, his spine was unbreakable.
Perhaps this is also a cry for help, but it's not what Li Shiyao wants.
Li Shiyao watched as her only blood relative, her sister, performed a deep bow to the holy maiden whose whereabouts were unknown.
"This humble woman, Li Suyao, greets Her Highness the Holy Maiden and all the elders."
Li Shiyao knew that Li Suyao was trying to embarrass the Holy Maiden in her own way.
This is like a child refusing to eat in an attempt to gain their mother's attention.
Li Suyao seemed to want everyone to see that the Holy Maiden was a cold-blooded person who didn't care about family or relatives.
It seemed as if they were waiting for the high and mighty saintess to say "Rise" or "No need for formalities."
"Heh, Li Suyao, you want a good life? Dream on!"
Li Shiyao's expression suddenly turned fierce, and her eyes clearly revealed a deliberate killing intent!
"Want to rise to the top and become a phoenix? Dream on!"
"Shiyao is determined to trample you for the rest of her life!"
"Shiyao is telling you, not only in this life, but in the next life, and the life after that, Shiyao will never let you get away!"
Li Shiyao raised her arm and said seriously!
"Imperial decree: Effective immediately, Li Suyao is removed from the list of the Holy Mountain and expelled from the Holy Mountain at once!"
The elders stared wide-eyed. What the hell was this?
Although the elders could see that Li Shiyao wanted to help Li Suyao, they really didn't understand why she had to be expelled from the Holy Mountain!
This is not only of no help to Li Suyao, but it may even make her situation more dangerous!
It should be understood that without the protection of the Holy Mountain, it wouldn't just be Qi Huan who coveted the Holy Blood!
Moreover, Qi Huan only needs to find someone to capture the Holy Blood, and the Holy Mountain has no reason to ask for it back!
After all, Li Suyao has been expelled from the Holy Mountain and has no connection with it anymore!
This move was unexpected not only by the elders, but also by Ye Qinghan and Dongfang Jue!
Yes, Li Shiyao really didn't have any deeper meaning; she simply wanted to take a gamble.
She was betting that her sister would live up to her expectations.
Li Suyao wants freedom, and what she needs to do is not to improve her cultivation level.
There are only two things that need to be done: first, to leave the holy mountain; and second, to remove the label of holy blood.
Li Shiyao has already helped with the first thing.
The second thing, Li Shiyao couldn't help her with.
If Shiyao wins the bet, she will be free.
If Shiyao loses the bet, she'll just be living in another hellish place. It'll make no difference, right?
As for hating her? Li Shiyao didn't care, as if Li Suyao would like her more if she didn't do this.
"Your Highness, Su Yao is your blood relative. Please reconsider!"
"Yes, even if Su Yao made a mistake, it doesn't deserve this!"
Li Suyao was completely dumbfounded as she listened to the elders' comments!
Is this even human language?
Damn it! What the hell do you mean, Su Yao is wrong even if she is?!
What the hell did she do wrong?!
Blood relatives? My foot!
At this moment, Li Suyao wanted to rip off the heads of these elders and see what their brains were made of!
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Perform for me to the best of your ability, my dear sister."
After saying that, Li Shiyao turned to look at Qi Huan.
"My lord, I have already removed the person from the Holy Mountain register. This should make things more convenient for you, right?"
"Shiyao, what does this mean?" Qi Huan asked honestly, he didn't understand either.
He thought to himself that he didn't want to bear the infamy, so he wanted to give the world an explanation.
This way, the world can be told that it was not that the Holy Maiden was heartless, but that Li Suyao had made a mistake and was expelled from the Holy Mountain.
If that's the case, then whatever happens will be irrelevant to the saintess?
This seems reasonable, but it's not entirely convincing...
Would a saint really care about such a thing?
Qi Huan preferred to believe another possibility: that the Holy Maiden, Li Shiyao, had given up entirely.
Even if Qi Huan were a fool, he could tell that Li Shiyao had no intention of handing over the Holy Blood.
But Li Suyao just had to go against her, and she just had to be stubborn at this moment!
"It's meaningless. Defying the Holy Maiden and being expelled from the Holy Mountain is already an act of leniency, isn't it?"
The elders were also in a state of panic, thinking to themselves, "What the hell are we going to do?"
These two sisters are completely out of their minds; they've given up on everything!
"Shiyao, are you really not going to reconsider?"
All the elders were hoping that Li Shiyao would change her mind, but the person standing in front of them was no longer the silly Li Shiyao, but the Holy Maiden of all people.
“My mind is made up. Elders, please do as I say.”
Ignoring the elders' troubled expressions, Li Shiyao finished speaking and then looked at Li Suyao beside her.
"Get up, get ready, and your miserable life can begin~"
Ye Qinghan, who was standing to the side, had already started eating lunch, completely unconcerned about the current state of the Holy Mountain.
On the table was Li Shiyao's jade pendant, which Ye Qinghan shared generously with Dongfang Jue without any hesitation.
"Senior sister, do you think this holy blood has any other effects?"
Dongfang Jue spoke while gnawing on a lamb leg.
Ye Qinghan answered casually, without paying much attention.
