"...It seems we'll have to stay in the human realm for a while longer."
Xiao Ao isn't the type to talk nonsense, so it's probably not a misperception.
Could it be... related to the golden light just now?
She was still fiddling with the compass when the servants returned, their faces beaming with joy, and announced to their Emperor: "It's the Seventh Miss of the Prime Minister's residence! The Seventh Miss detected the golden light!"
The Emperor was taken aback. It was the seventh young lady from the Prime Minister's family.
Isn't that... a bit of a mental lapse?
Wasn't the Prime Minister's claim last year that his seven daughters had returned to normal just a lucky charm he was giving him under the guise of an excuse?
"So it's Miss Shangguan. Master, let me go and see her."
Xiahou Zhiwei's eyes lit up; they knew each other.
Song Tingwan's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. Her clear and gentle voice rang out in the hall: "Is this young lady different?"
The ministers, who dared not look directly at the goddesses and immortals, sat at the back listening, their gazes falling on the astonished yet ecstatic prime minister.
Prime Minister Shangguan Hong strode out from below.
"Your Majesty, this is my daughter. She was born mentally challenged, but she recovered after the two goddesses ascended to heaven and the great calamity passed."
My daughter has received a great favor from the two goddesses; I will have her kowtow to them shortly!
Song Tingwan's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at him from afar. "Have you returned to normal after the great calamity? How is your personality? Is there anything unusual or...incoherent?"
Despite his gentle words, Shangguan Hong inexplicably broke out in a cold sweat. An invisible pressure made his legs go weak and he knelt down. "I have never liked this daughter. I... do not know."
He didn't know, but Xiahou Zhiwei did.
He was too embarrassed to speak in front of so many people, but his master kept his head down and drank, deliberately avoiding eye contact with him.
But the girl was clearly not stupid. Xiahou Zhiwei blushed and finally spoke: "I met Miss Shangguan with my master a few days ago. She is kind-hearted and intelligent. She always smiles when she speaks to people. She will definitely have a bright future."
He wanted to say that he saw a bit of the goddess's shadow in that girl who was clearly different in personality.
But saying it like that feels a bit offensive, after all, Miss Shangguan is still just an ordinary person.
Xiahou Zhiwei then swallowed his chance.
Nie Wangya watched from the side and nodded in agreement with his disciple.
At the head of the table, a gentle and compassionate goddess stood up, holding a white tiger, her words cool and unyielding: "Take me to see her."
The attendants dared not disobey, and led by Song Tingwan, a large group of people headed towards the place of the Spirit Selection Ceremony.
On the round platform of the Spirit Appraisal Selection, everyone was astonished after Shangguan Xi detected the golden light.
Her older siblings were even more incredulous, saying they wondered if there had been a mistake in the test.
In an instant, a flurry of discussion erupted.
Shangguan Xi stood confidently on the high platform, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Whether it's true or false, only the Spirit Appraisal Stone can tell."
After speaking with her back straight, she had a strange feeling that she was meant to stand at the top of the crowd and give orders.
Shangguan Xi increasingly felt that she was no ordinary person.
Strange illusions often surfaced in her mind, along with some subconscious behaviors that didn't belong to someone who had been obsessed for nineteen years.
There was also a strange sense of certainty in my heart.
It seems that no matter how much trouble she causes, someone will always be there to bail her out.
The woman on stage was delicate and brows furrowed, while countless people below discussed her, their questioning gazes falling unabashedly upon her.
When Song Tingwan arrived, she saw this scene.
The moment the goddess appeared, everyone fell silent.
It automatically parted to allow the goddess to pass.
The girl in the pink dress on the stage looked at her, her expression slightly startled.
Until Song Tingwan walked up to her.
Shangguan Xi stood on the stage, looking down at the beautiful woman as she walked towards him step by step.
After a moment of stunned silence, her eyes cleared, and she suddenly laughed.
"Who are you? You are so beautiful, I am completely captivated. Can we be friends?"
Upon hearing this, Song Tingwan, who had walked over with a solemn expression, smiled suddenly, tears glistening in her eyes.
When I first met her at the outer sect of the Sword Inquiry Sect, the cute girl with round eyes was immediately captivated and amazed, and said something similar.
