The Council of Elders had already discussed the matter of selecting the Holy Son. Jiuchen had been infected with the Sui Cicada some time ago, but he was able to get rid of it easily. The elders felt that there was nothing more to teach him. It was time for Jiuchen to become the Holy Son and fulfill his obligations.

But this is true.

The atmosphere in the spirit world below immediately began to boil.

"I have finally waited for this day."

"Master Jiuchen is the one that everyone wants!"

"The Pilgrimage Temple has been vacant for many years and finally has a new owner."

Compared to the excitement of these people, Jiuchen seemed very calm.

In the eyes of outsiders, perhaps his becoming the Son of God had long been a convention, and all that was missing was a ceremony. He himself must have thought so, so it didn't matter whether they were surprised or not.

Everyone's attention was focused on Jiuchen, and no one noticed that Zong Xu, who was wearing a mask behind him, was secretly clenching his fists under his sleeves.

How come it's so fast? (clenched)

It seems that I have to urge Su Changzhao to act as soon as possible, even using a contract doll to achieve my goal if necessary.

Next.

The Council of Elders made arrangements for the ceremony on the spot, and after giving their instructions, they all left.

Other spirits usually don't dare to approach and talk to Jiuchen casually.

This time, perhaps to get a good start, many people came forward to congratulate him.

Jiuchen acted very friendly and thanked them for their blessings with a smile.

Finally, most people left.

Jiuchen just realized that his younger brother Zongxu had not left yet.

Zong Xu seemed to have deliberately stayed until the end. He took two steps forward, took off his mask and said,

"Congratulations, brother."

Jiuchen glanced at him, "Are you sincere?"

"..." Zong Xu's smile froze, "Brother, you are joking."

Jiuchen didn't say any more to him and walked away.

From an angle where he couldn't see, Zong Xu's smile gradually faded: Let's see how long you can be so arrogant.

As soon as he finished speaking, the person in front of him suddenly stopped.

Zong Xu was shocked: “!!” Did you hear it?

The other party turned his head and looked at me, with a smile on his lips: "By the way, thank you for sending her to me. I like her very much. Since you did a good job on this matter, as long as you behave yourself in the future, we can still be brothers."

Zong Xu: “…………”

Seeing Jiuchen finish his words and then leave gracefully, Zong Xu gritted his teeth and said, "Jiu! Chen! You wait for me!"

.

On the way back in the carriage.

Su Changzhao noticed that Jiuchen didn't say a word and wondered what he was thinking.

So he said: "Congratulations, Master~"

Seeing her smiling face, Jiuchen asked calmly, "Where does your happiness come from?"

"On the fifteenth of this month, you will succeed the Holy Son."

"Oh, you are well-informed."

"It's such a big deal, the whole shrine has heard about it! It's hard not to know about it."

"Hehe." Jiuchen couldn't help laughing when he heard Su Changzhao's exaggerated tone.

Seeing this, Su Changzhao rolled his eyes and quickly suggested:

"The master is about to become the Holy Son. This great joyous event must be shared with blood relatives. How about setting up a banquet in the mansion today and inviting Lord Zong Xu to come over to share in the joy?"

Hearing this, Jiuchen looked at her with clear eyes.

Su Changzhao was silenced by his scrutinizing gaze.

I thought the other party would ask the reason, but he didn't. Instead, he said:

"OK."

"!!" Su Changzhao thought he had heard it wrongly, his peach eyes lit up, "Really?"

She was so adorable like this, Jiuchen suddenly felt the urge to hug her, but he pursed his lips and held back.

He turned his face away, hiding his throbbing panic.

"When we get back, we'll do as you say." He said calmly.

"Great!" Su Changzhao jumped for joy.

She didn't know that Jiuchen had already seen through her plan.

Inviting Zong Xu to come home was nothing more than giving the other party an opportunity to attack, so that she could get the contracted doll back.

.

Dusk is falling.

Zong Xu was invited to the mansion.

Jiuchen hosted a banquet.

At the banquet, there was no tension between the two brothers, as if the unpleasantness that occurred in the Elders' Council during the day had never happened.

While watching the singing and dancing, Zong Xu rolled his eyes shrewdly, holding the cup and said to Jiuchen:

"Brother."

Jiuchen also gave him face and toasted him with a toast.

After they both drank it, Zong Xu pretended to look around and said:

"Why can't I see Miss Su? Could it be that my brother is hiding?"

Jiuchen ignored his fake teasing and turned his gaze towards the door.

As if this was the answer.

Zong Xu looked over there and saw a blue satin waving into his sight.

The top of the satin was suddenly touched by a snow-white toe.

The slender ankles were wrapped with gold threads and gold bells.

The sight moves up all the way.

Slender waist, thin arms...flying blue gauze...a beautiful girl came gracefully like a fairy from the blue waves.

"!!"

Zong Xu couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly calmed down because he had already discovered that this incredibly beautiful woman was Su Changzhao.

He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and subconsciously looked towards Jiuchen at the top, only to see that he was already immersed in Su Changzhao's unprecedented beauty.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but stretch, and his heart was filled with satisfaction.

But he knew very well that this alone was not enough.

He has to add fuel to the fire, otherwise wouldn't this trip be in vain?

So whenever he had the chance, he would find ways to toast.

It's strange to say, Jiuchen, who doesn't drink much on weekdays, is in a good mood today and drinks a lot. I don't know if it's because the grand ceremony is about to take place or because of the beauty in front of him? In short, he is in a good mood today and drinks a lot.

After Su Changzhao danced two dances in a row, he noticed that something was wrong with Jiuchen. He went straight to Jiuchen without even changing his dance costume.

"Master, are you okay?"

Seeing her walking towards him, Jiuchen hugged her in his arms.

"It's okay, your master is fine." He pinched Su Changzhao's chin with drunken eyes, "You danced well, what reward do you want?"

The tip of his thumb stroked Su Changzhao's cheek again and again.

The distance was so close that it seemed as if they were about to kiss at any time.

Su Changzhao's eyes were full of light: "Master, you are drunk. Let me... take you inside to rest?"

"Okay~"

Jiuchen's "OK" sounded somewhat doting.

Seeing how well they were doing, Zong Xu felt like doing something.

He first fended off the servants who wanted to help them, and then silently waved away the musicians and dancers.

After the area was cleared, he saw that Su Changzhao had successfully brought the people inside.

After putting the man on the bed, Su Changzhao tried to call out twice, "Master, Master?"

She found Jiuchen mumbling something in a daze, but she couldn't hear it clearly.

"Really? If you can't drink, then don't drink so much."

Although she was complaining, she still pulled the quilt over the drunkard.

After the mission was accomplished, she had to leave.

She asked Zong Xu to come over today because she wanted to put an end to it.

If you stay any longer, something bad might happen.

"Don't worry, I won't let anyone else hurt you."

As soon as the words fell.

A voice came from behind, "You are really unreliable."

"You..." Su Changzhao turned his head and looked at the other person in surprise.

She was careless just now and didn't even notice when the other party came in.

Smiling, "...When did the master come in?" She still wanted to play it safe.

But the other party obviously didn't want to argue with her anymore, and said to himself: "It seems that I have to take action myself at the critical moment."

"Sir...what do you mean?" Su Changzhao raised his impeccable face with innocence and blinked his beautiful peach eyes.

"Heh." Zong Xu sneered and tried to look away to avoid being bewitched by her beauty. Then he took out a palm-sized wooden doll from behind him.

It was the contracted doll that Su Changzhao had been searching for for a long time!
