C453 On the eve of the sacrificial ceremony

However, no one objected, after all, a few days ago, the entire merchant knew about Xie Qingrong pouring the metazoan flower into the flower.

Everyone from the Shang clan knew of this clan rule, so the matter of the Holy Maiden replacing them was also within everyone's expectations.

In the eyes of the Shang clan members, faith was more important than emotions. Although they had taken care of Shang Zhiqing since she was young, their clan rules and beliefs could never be betrayed.

It was because of this that the merchants started to decline.

The second clan elder stared at Xie Qingrong for a long time, as though he had something to say, but seeing that the other clan elders had no objections, he did not say anything further.

He had finally acknowledged the Great Elder's actions.

The elders had adopted the most important decision, the second clan elder saw that he could already control the situation, and left early, the other elders congratulated Xie Qingrong, and followed suit.

In the end, only Xie Qingrong's group of four and the Great Elder were left in the main hall. After the Second Elder left, the Great Elder gave them four looks, and clearly, the four of them understood what he meant.

The Great Clan Elder glanced at Xie Qingrong with gratitude. Be it in terms of bearing or aura, all aspects of ability were outstanding.

The cane lightly knocked on the ground, and warned Xie Qingrong: "Tomorrow is the ceremony for the Holy Maiden to pass on her inheritance, today, we will follow Shang Zhiqing to stay in the Holy Maiden Pavilion, there will be a maid who will help you guys dress up. No mistakes must be made tomorrow. "

"Master, don't worry. Tonight, I will properly explain to my elder sister the direction of the day exchange ceremony and the inheritance ceremony, as well as the things to pay attention to." Furthermore, big sister is intelligent and has outstanding ability. You will definitely not let down our hopes. "

"Yes." With the support of his second junior brother, he slowly left the main hall, leaving the four of them looking at each other in dismay.

However, the Great Clan Elder had already spoken. Shen Haoxuan and Xuanyuan Chen returned to the room, while Xie Qingrong walked towards the Saintess Pavilion with her wrist held tightly by Shang Zhiqing.

"Love, if you are no longer the Holy Maiden, will your status in the Shang family be ruined?" One of Xie Qingrong's wrists was in Shang Zhiqing's hands, and Shang Zhiqing was walking in front of her. She looked at Shang Zhiqing's back for a long time.

Hearing that, Shang Zhiqing paused in her steps, she stared blankly, as though she was trying to remember something.

After a long while, Shang Zhiqing finally withdrew from her memories, and replied while smiling: "There shouldn't be too much of a change. I am the Great Elder's disciple to begin with, so they are still extremely respectful towards me. Furthermore, after settling the Shang family's matter, I do not plan to stay in the Shang family, the Elders Guild has already agreed to this matter. "

She wanted to fulfill the agreement she had made with Shen Haoxuan, including the matter of her spending a long time with him. All these years, the burden and responsibility that she had on her shoulders had almost pressured her to the point that she couldn't breathe. If it wasn't for Shen Haoxuan, she wouldn't have brought Xie Qingrong back to the Shang Clan in one go.

There was only one thing that she had not told Xie Qingrong.

Her position in the business world was in danger, after all, all the business people gave her too much hope. But even at the age of twelve, she did not let the metazoan flower blossom.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Everyone in the Shang clan were disappointed by her, but they could not find anyone else who could replace Shang Zhiqing, so they could only bear with it.

Now that Xie Qingrong appeared, her days in the Shang clan would not be good. Fortunately, she was about to leave the merchant house.

It was just that she felt slightly sorry for the master who had fostered her all those years ago. In order to consolidate her position as a Holy Maiden, she had used her own strength to expel all difficulties.

As he thought about it, Shang Zhiqing lowered his eyes in disappointment.

Xie Qingrong looked at Shang Zhiqing's downcast appearance, and almost walked into the air when she walked up the stairs, and struggled her wrist out of Shang Zhiqing's hand, pulling her hand back.

Other than Xuanyuan Chen, this was the first time she extended his hand out on her own. If the Shang clan members treated her with any form of disrespect, she would definitely take his revenge.

This was because the woman in front of him was her compatriot and sister. She was her closest family member in this world.

Because of Xie Qingrong's initiative, Shang Zhiqing was stunned in place for a long time. On the other hand, Xie Qingrong's mood did not change at all, but she still stayed there, accompanying Shang Zhiqing in regaining her senses.

By the time he returned to the Holy Maiden Pavilion, it was already noon. Lunch was specially prepared by the grand elder in the kitchen. This was his first meal as a Holy Maiden, so naturally it would be richer.

Xie Qingrong recognized the maids by their faces, and the maidservants started to clean up and bathe Xie Qingrong and her.

The handover and inheritance ceremony for the Holy Maiden had always been very grand. The previous day, they had to burn incense and bathe in incense.

Xie Qingrong and Shang Zhiqing laid in the warm and spacious spring water of the White Jade Pool.

Shang Zhiqing enjoyed the massage of the servant as she introduced the ceremony for the Holy Maiden to Xie Qingrong.

The exchange ceremony required Shang Zhiqing and Xie Qingrong to be present together.

At that time, Shang Zhiqing would wear her original Holy Maiden attire, and she would also finish making her own.

From the moment Xie Qingrong had gotten an outstanding ability with water in the Nanping, the Shang clan had already made their decision to let Xie Qingrong test her abilities on metazoan flower. The Great Clan Elder was certain that Xie Qingrong's blood could be used, so she ordered the maids in the Saintess Pavilion to prepare all the servants.

Fortunately, he finally managed to step on the needle and thread last night.

The person who becomes the new Holy Maiden has the right to use metazoan flower. After all, after a metazoan flower bloomed, the blooming period was only one year. And one year later, the Holy Maiden would need to continue infusing metazoan flower.

Therefore, the Holy Maiden had the right to control a dried flower, treating it as the Holy Maiden's welfare.

If it wasn't for this favor and being able to command the merchant to help the Heavenly Sage, Xie Qingrong would never have followed Shang Zhiqing here.

In the end, Xie Qingrong was someone who valued benefits more than others. Outside of benefits, she naturally would not refuse to do whatever it was that was within her power to do.

"Elder sister, tomorrow all the Shang family will be at the Heaven's Altar, watching as elder sister sacrifices to the heavens. I heard that this is the ancient Ancient Kingdom's unique way of offering the heavens. Back then, I did not let the metazoan flower blossom, so I did not perform the Heaven's Sacrifice ceremony. I am merely a renowned Holy Maiden in the Shang family. "

Shang Zhiqing closed her eyes. Her expression was somewhat self-deprecating, and also somewhat lonely. After all, she had worked as a horse for many years as a merchant, but she could never compare to an authentic successor, even if this person was her blood related sister.

However, she was also happy for Xie Qingrong, for the Shang clan.

"After tomorrow, everything will be under sister's control. I hope that sister won't disappoint the Shang family, and I also hope that sister will be able to support the Shang family. At least, after a hundred years, nobody can forget about the Shang family."
