Chapter 908: Siblings Fighting Together

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Recently, there had been too many rumors in the capital that Cheng Sang had become lucid and Cheng Lian had fallen out of favor. There were even rumors that Cheng Lian was going to be expelled from the Cheng family.

However, they had not seen it with their own eyes. It was fine if everyone thought it was a show, but they did not dare to believe it all.

Seeing it today, the rumors were not false.

The first and second branches really fell out.

No, didn’t you hear what that girl called Cheng Lian?

A maidservant!

What kind of second branch was a concubine maidservant?

Many people had come to the Holy Selection today. Other than the participants, the four great clans, eight tribes, and even the royal family of the Southern Wilderness had come.

Cheng Lian’s original plan was to regain her dignity in public. Unexpectedly, someone threw a wrench in the works and humiliated her.

If Su Xiaoxiao and Cheng Qingxue’s small fight could barely be considered a tit for tat, then at this moment, Su Xiaoxiao did not give Xie Yunhe and Cheng Lian any face at all and tore away the last fig leaf.

The so-called don’t wash dirty linen in public depended on what kind of family scandal it was.

Cheng Sang had been despised by everyone for many years. It was time for some people to taste the humiliation Cheng Sang had experienced.

AsCheng Lian gripped the handkerchief in her hand tightly, her face alternated between turning green and red.

Xie Yunhe walked in. “Stop fooling around. It’s time to go in.”

Su Xiaoxiao blocked his path. “It’s time for me to go in, but Grandpa, you should go back first. I’ve said it before. Other than me, no one else is allowed to enter the Cheng family unless you’re not the lived-in son-in-law of the Cheng family.”

A concubine maid was already shocking enough, but she actually mentioned lived-in son-in-law. She was really shocking.

Xie Yunhe clenched his fists tightly. “I’m your grandfather!”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “If you weren’t my grandfather, you wouldn’t even be able to enter the Holy Maiden Temple!”

Cheng Lian said bitterly, “How can you speak to your elders like this?”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her mockingly. “I’m talking to my grandfather. Why should a lowly servant interrupt!” The onlookers collectively spat.

Lowly servant…

This girl was too vicious.

The Holy Selection was the highlight, but everyone vaguely felt that the Cheng family’s theatrics was even more exciting than the Holy Selection.

Seeing her parents humiliated, Cheng Qingxue was furious. She pointed at Su

Xiaoxiao’s nose and said, “Don’t go too far!”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “If I really want to go overboard, I would have blocked you out. Do you want to try?”

Cheng Qingxue choked.

She didn’t believe that Su Xiaoxiao could stop her, but Cheng Lian no longer dared to bet her daughter’s future.

She tugged at Cheng Qingxue’s sleeve and shook her head at her. Having her daughter become a Saintess was the most important.

The rest was fine. These abuses were only temporary.

When Cheng Qingxue obtained the position of Saintess, the Cheng family’s family head’s token would sooner or later be theirs.

Cheng Qingxue understood what her mother meant. She glared at Su Xiaoxiao and stormed in.

No one could snatch the position of the Saintess from her today!

The faces of Cheng Lian and Xie Yunhebwere slapped. In the end, they did not get their wish.

To the southeast of the Holy Maiden Temple, there was an altar wrapped in bricks. It had to be stepped up. The base was square, and the altar on the steps was round, making it look like a round world.

An awning was built on the north and south sides of the altar and a seating area was set up.

To the south were the seats of the royal family of the Southern Wilderness, the four great clans, and the eight great tribes. To the north were the seats of the elders and ambassadors of the Holy Maiden Temple.

Twenty candidates waited in line according to their results at the bottom of the altar and the entrance to the steps.

Standing at the first was Yin Xiaodie.

Su Xiaoxiao was eleventh in the second round.

As for Cheng Qingxue, Ji Roushu, and Yue Qinghuan, they were second, fourth, and sixth, respectively.

The daughters of the eight tribes were ranked third and fifth.

Su Xiaoxiao had learned a lot about the situation in the southern border from Uncle Quan over the past few days. The southern border was originally a small country formed by dozens of tribes. The big tribes annexed the small tribes and finally formed eight powerful forces.

More than half of the military power in the southern border was in the hands of the eight tribes.

The four great families were the financial backers of the eight tribes.

This sounded unbelievable, but this was the southern border.

If the King of the Southern Wilderness wanted to send troops, he had to obtain the support of the eight tribes.

If the eight tribes wanted to fight, they had to rely on the four great families to provide military pay.

From the looks of it, if she wanted to stop the ambition of the King of the Southern Wilderness, she could start with the four great families.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the southern seats.

With the curtain blocking them, she could not see the people inside clearly. She could only determine from the sign hanging on the pergola which was the Yin family, the Ji family, and the Yue family.

The Cheng family’s seat was empty.

In addition, there was an extremely luxurious jade bead curtain in the center. It should be the seat of the royal family of the Southern Wilderness.

According to Princess Hui An, the envoy of the southern border had proposed marriage to the Great Zhou. It was unknown if it was for the eldest prince, or the prince of a few favored concubines.

On the other side, Elder Lou also sat in the northern seat with a certain handsome young master.

The elders’ gazes landed on Su Xuan’s handsome face and they were stunned for a moment.

Elder Ji stammered, “Elder Lou, this is…”

Elder Lou said agedly, “Ah, one of my grandnephews. The one behind him is his little attendant.’

Su Xuan had a scholarly aura and was elegant and gentle. As for the little attendant, he looked ordinary and his eyes moved.

Elder Ji couldn’t help but tease, “When did you have such a handsome grandnephew? I’ve never heard you mention him. Are you afraid that when he comes, the daughters of the king will snatch him back to be their son-in-law?”

Elder Lou smiled and glanced at Su Xuan. It would be good if he was really snatched away. He wouldn’t be around to cause trouble for her all day.

“Greetings, elders.” Su Xuan cupped his hands.

Although the Holy Maiden Temple did not get close to men, who would not like such a gentle and knowledgeable junior?

The few of them nodded kindly.

“Sit.” Elder 1.011 said

Princess Hui An sat down.

Elder Lou was speechless.

Su Xuan smiled. “He’s my cousin. He only became my servant because his family fell. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of all the elders.” So it was his cousin. No wonder he was a little spoiled.

Coincidentally, the last round of the competition was about to begin. Everyone’s attention was focused on the altar.

The Holy Bird had a time limit to choose its master. There was only half an incense stick of time to let the Holy Bird voluntarily fly down and stay on one’s arm.

After circling the altar, the selection of the master was completed.

They were not allowed to feed the Holy Bird during this period.

Su Xiaoxiao was confident in Yin Xiaodie.

However, just as Yin Xiaodie was about to appear, a change occurred.

Yin Xiaodie suddenly covered her throat and fell to the ground in discomfort.

The event location was shocked.

Old Master Yin and Yin Chongshan immediately stood up!

Yin Chongshan lifted the curtain and flew under the altar with his qinggong. He knelt on the ground and picked up his daughter. “Xiaodie!” Yin Xiaodie’s face was cyanotic, and her lips were dark. She was about to suffocate..
