After leaving Shang Huaiyue's place, Shang Zhiqing took a deep breath, stuck out her chest, and walked towards the main hall of the Elders Guild. Along the way, she thought about countless of answers and results regarding the Elders Guild.

The ten elders sat in a separate room with a solemn expression, especially the one seated at the head. His white hair was all over the place, but his eyes were still deep and full of spirit.

This was the one who taught her class, and also the one she respected the most, Grand Elder. His kind and kind face had already disappeared, and he was looking at her with a look of disappointment.

Shang Zhiqing stood in the center of the main hall and pursed her lips, not saying a word. However, the pair of eyes stared unblinkingly at the head of the Great Elder, as if wanting to know what the Great Elder would say.

The atmosphere was very silent, and there was a stalemate for a long time.

The Head Elder closed his eyes and knocked the ground heavily with the cane in his hand, producing a dull thud.

"Kneel." The word 'cold' came out of Great Elder's mouth.

Shang Zhiqing straightened her back and knelt on the ground. She lowered his eyes in response to the knocking sound just now, and naturally missed the complex expression that flashed past the Great Elder's eyes.

"Do you still remember the Shang family's ancestor's teachings?" The Great Clan Elder walked to Shang Zhiqing with his walking stick, and looked at Shang Zhiqing who was lowering her head, a look of pain flashed past her eyes.

"I remember." Shang Zhiqing replied in a low voice.

"Then do you know your wrongs?" Before the Head Elder could say anything, the Second Elder had already asked him a question.

Shang Zhiqing slightly raised her head, just in time to see the Second Elder gloating in front of her. She sneered in her heart, but her expression was extremely calm.

Naturally, she said that on purpose to arouse the anger of the second elder. However, the second elder's eyes flashed with a hint of anger before returning to his superior attitude of a lecturer.

The Second Elder's cold eyes swept past Shang Zhiqing. Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by the gaze of the Great Clan Elder.

"As the direct daughter of the merchant family, you have inherited the position of Holy Maiden since you were young. Bringing someone to break into the sect was the second reason. Do you admit to these two crimes? "

The Great Clan Elder bent his waist and said word by word. His sharp eyes stared straight at Shang Zhiqing, as if he wanted to see through her thoughts.

Shang Zhiqing gritted her teeth and faced the Great Clan Elder's gaze. Under this gaze, all of the thoughts in her mind seemed to be exposed to the sunlight, leaving her with no place to hide.

"Zhixin will give the Shang family an explanation for these two matters. However, as the Saint Daughter of the Shang family, Zhiqing had an obligation to solve all potential threats for the Shang family. The others may not know about the current predicament the Shang family is in, but the ten Elders definitely know about it. "

"Patriarch Seven should have seen the people who came with me just now. I think that if I didn't say it, Patriarch Seven would have guessed her identity. If I can guess her identity, then I can definitely guess my real intentions. "

Shang Zhiqing raised her head slightly. Facing the torch-like gazes of these few people, she did not fear at all, nor did she cower, as she explained to herself in a bland voice.

"Ridiculous. This is utter nonsense." The Second Elder waved his sleeves and said coldly towards Shang Zhiqing.

However, he was not at all calm in his heart, and was even a little uncertain of Shang Zhiqing's attitude.

He had thought that he had hidden his secrets when he glanced at Shang Zhiqing, but he hadn't thought that the Great Elder would take a good look at all of the Second Elder's changes and extended emotions without batting an eyelid.

Gripping his crutches tightly, he felt extremely regretful in his heart.

Originally, Shang Zhiqing thought that she could avoid everything, but she never thought that the Shang Clan would actually still gradually become like this. Shang Zhiqing had already grown to the point where she could guess what was behind it.

Shang Zhiqing had been a child that he had taught since a young age. He had seen Shang Zhiqing's talent and abilities, and knew that there was no one more suitable than Shang Zhiqing to be the Shang Clan's Patriarch.

However, because of her bloodline, she could only become a Holy Maiden.

Unless they could find another person with pure blood.

Xie Qingrong was completely unaware of all the arguments that had occurred in the main hall. The moment she walked out of her room, took a deep breath of fresh air and was about to stretch, she discovered a suspicious figure in a corner of the courtyard.

Xie Qingrong's brows quickly flashed with a hint of blindness, following the suspicious person, yet the sneer in her heart became more and more obvious.

As the figures in front walked faster and faster, the scenery on both sides of Xie Qingrong withdrew.

Xie Qingrong could already see that this person had other intentions, he wanted to lure her into some unknown place, but just where did he want to take her? The further in she went, the more beautiful and unique the scenery became.

"I wonder if esteemed customer has any suggestions for us merchants to improve?" Seeing that no one was around, the leader had a plan in mind. He planned to take out some useful stuff from Xie Qingrong's mouth once again.

But he never thought that not only did he not get any useful words from Xie Qingrong, he had instead leaked everything he knew.

After sending Xie Qingrong to her destination and seeing him enter the courtyard with her own eyes, only then did she realize how foolish she had actually been.

Xie Qingrong stood in the middle of the courtyard and saw that the courtyard was filled with white orchids that emitted a quiet fragrance. Xie Qingrong stood amidst the fragrant orchid fragrance, took a deep breath, and inhaled all of this fragrance into her chest.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face, as if he was enjoying everything.

She was getting a little curious. She didn't know who had planted such an orchid. However, she had an answer in her heart.

Before she could finish admiring the beauty of the orchids, she heard a clear voice coming from the house, like an oriole from a valley.

"Come in."

Xie Qingrong retracted the smile on her face, lowered her eyes, and slowly walked towards the house.

Pushing open the door, a comfortable aura could be felt. It was an indescribable aura, as close as the sun, causing Xie Qingrong to feel a little absent-minded.

However, in the next moment, she came back to herself from her trance. In her heart, she felt regret for the moment when her opponent had let it out.

Pursing his lips, he did not take another step forward and coldly asked: "May I know who is in this room? Why did you lure me here so painstakingly? "

A low laugh came from inside the house, it sounded like it came from the throat, and it was not very clear, "Please forgive me for having the temerity to invite this girl here. When he heard that the young lady had broken through the protective magical formation and had much admiration for her, he wanted to meet the young lady. If you have offended me in any way, I hope that you will not mind me too much. "
