Chapter 909 - 909: Domineering Holy Bird!
Yin Chongshan was anxious and could not hear anyone else at all. He kept shouting his daughter’s name. “Xiaodie! Xiaodie!” Su Xiaoxiao knelt down and carried Yin Xiaodie over.
Yin Chongshan was stunned. “You…”
Su Xiaoxiao checked Yin Xiaodie’s fingers and arms and looked at her throat.
It was acute laryngeal edema caused by an allergy. The situation was very critical.
However, she could not take out the medicine from the pharmacy in public.
Not only would she expose herself, but she would also be captured as a demon. That way, she would really not be able to save Yin Xiaodie.
“Granny.” Su Xuan smiled at Elder Lou.
Elder Lou was almost annoyed to death by this clingy guy.
“I owed you in my previous life.”
She waved her hand, and a white cloth broke through the curtain and flew out. It wrapped around Su Xiaoxiao and Yin Xiaodie and pulled them into the elders’ seats.
Then, Elder Lou flicked her finger and the curtains on both sides drooped.
Every elder had their own seat, but the weather was hot, and the side curtains were rolled up.
Now that she put it down, it became a separate room.
The Holy Maiden Temple was famous for its medical skills. Everyone thought that Elder Lou wanted to treat Yin Xiaodie personally and did not suspect
anything.
As for why she brought Su Xiaoxiao in, everyone only thought that it was because Yin Xiaodie was in her arms.
When Su Xiaoxiao saw Su Xuan and Princess Hui An, her first reaction was surprise, and her second reaction was still surprise.
However, Yin Xiaodie was in danger, so she did not have the time to investigate why the two of them appeared in the elders’ seating area.
She had more or less guessed the identity of this elder—Elder Lou, who was the most experienced in the Holy Maiden Temple.
Had the Head of the Secret Service’s connections already expanded to the Holy Maiden Temple?
Su Xiaoxiao hugged Yin Xiaodie tightly. “Please excuse me.”
Su Xuan was a man, and Princess Hui An was a young man. Logically speaking, the two of them should stay away.
As for Elder Lou… Su Xuan said, “Granny.”
“Got it, got it.”
He was so annoying!
Elder Lou suppressed her bad temper and calmly lowered the second curtain, isolating Su Xiaoxiao and Yin Xiaodie in the back.
She had used up all the yellow pills. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to the pharmacy to get the medicine.
Yin Xiaodie was young and was in even more danger than Su Yuan previously. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t delay and injected her.
On the other side, the Saintess brought Emissary Lu and Emissary Loo to the event location.
She looked at the empty altar and asked the disciple who rang the gong, “It’s time. Why hasn’t it started?”
The disciple replied respectfully, “Saintess, it was supposed to start. Something suddenly happened to Yin Xiaodie.”
The Saintess instructed, “Go take a look.”
“Yes.” The disciple put the gong away and came outside Elder Lou’s seat. She asked through the curtain, “Elder Lou, may I ask how Miss Yin is? Can she continue to participate in the selection?”
Elder Lou said calmly, “Saintess, please wait a moment.”
The disciple said, “The time is up. If Miss Yin can’t participate as scheduled, then it can only be considered as a voluntary forfeit.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone whispered.
Yin Xiaodie was the most eye-catching candidate in this round of the Holy Selection.
Since she was smart and well-known, coupled with the fact that she had participated in the selection at the age of nine and had won first place in two consecutive rounds, many people thought that she would become the Saintess.
At least the Yin family had this confidence.
Unexpectedly, things did not go as planned. Something actually went wrong at the critical moment when the Holy Bird chose its master.
Regardless of whether Yin Xiaodie was sick, injured, ate something bad, or was framed and poisoned, it could not be used as a reason to delay the Holy Selection.
Elder Lou sat behind the curtain and slowly said, “Saintess, I’m afraid that’s not appropriate. No matter what, she was first in the first two rounds. I remember that something happened to the Saintess back then. The Saintess almost lost her right to contest but fought for her right to delay the contest.”
She was talking about the first round of examinations that the Holy Maiden participated in more than ten years ago. Her carriage broke down midway, and by the time the examination hall opened, the written test had already begun.
At that time, the rules were not as strict as they were now. Moreover, there was only half time left. Everyone thought that she was bound to lose, so they reluctantly gave the cheng famuy some respect ana let her in.
Unexpectedly, she passed all the obstacles and finally became the Saintess.
“At that time, the Saintess also said that she was chosen by the Heavenly God. No matter how bumpy it was, she could become the Saintess. I also want to know if Yin Xiaodie is like the Saintess back then, chosen by the Heavenly God.” At this point, how else could the Holy Maiden refute?
The Saintess looked at the curtain and said, “Since Elder Lou has spoken, we’ll do as you say and give her a chance to continue the selection. However, the auspicious timing of the selection can’t be delayed. She can rank at the back, but the selection has to continue. Does Elder Lou and the other elders have any objections?”
Yin Xiaodie was still not awake and would most likely be ranked last. The elders naturally had no objections.
The selection continued. The next person was Cheng Qingxue.
Yin Chongshan waited anxiously outside the curtain.
Compared to whether his daughter could continue to participate in the selection, he was more concerned about her safety.
As long as her daughter could survive, it did not matter if she became the Saintess!
“Elder Lou, can you invite Lord Yin in?”
Su Xiaoxiao opened the roll-up curtain and asked.
Elder Lou called Yin Chongshan in.
After being resuscitated, Yin Xiaodie’s expression returned to normal and her breathing returned.
Although she was still a little unconscious, her life was saved.
Yin Chongshan cupped his hands and bowed. “Thank you for saving my daughter, Elder Lou.”
Elder Lou said, “I didn’t save her. It was that girl.”
Yin Chongshan did not know Su Xiaoxiao, but seeing the number 11 waist tag on her waist, he guessed her identity.
He cupped his hands and bowed. He said sincerely, “Thank you, Miss Cheng!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It was nothing. I wanted to ask you what Xiaodie ate this morning. ”
Yin Chongshan recalled, “It was no different from usual. There was a piece of rice cake and a bowl of white porridge. She didn’t like to eat too much in the morning and ate an almond pastry on the way… Does Miss Cheng suspect that Xiaodie was poisoned?”
“Was it okay for her to eat these in the past?”
“It’s fine.”
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Do you still have the almond pastry?”
“Yes, yes. She likes it. I always have it on me.”
As Yin Chongshan spoke, he took out a few pieces of almond candy from his pocket and handed them to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao took it and tasted it.
“Be careful!” Yin Chongshan was afraid that the almond pastry was poisonous. Seeing her taste it without a word, he was shocked.
Su Xuan looked at Su Xiaoxiao quietly.
Princess Hui An also obediently waited without causing trouble.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the candy and said, “This is not made from almonds here but peanuts.”
Yin Chongshan was shocked. “How could that be… I clearly bought almond pastry! I’ve been buying it at the same shop for a few years… the people at the shop know that Xiaodie can’t eat peanuts!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Either he gave it to the wrong person, or someone swapped it. These nuts can’t be differentiated by sight after being crushed. They taste a little different.”
Yin Chongshan was enlightened.
Peanuts were much more fragrant than almonds. Of course they were delicious.
However, to Yin Xiaodie, it was poison.
If it was a coincidence, it was too much of a coincidence.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the altar.
Cheng Qingxue, who was in second place, had already walked up.
Her face was filled with pride.
Her sister had long taught her the method of taming. She would definitely be able to complete the mission of the Holy Bird choosing its master.
As the incense was lit and the gong sounded, the holy bird was released from the bird cage.
The snow-white bird soared into the sky and flew around in the blue sky. It swooped down at Cheng Qingxue and landed on her slightly raised arm.
Everyone gasped.
Was this the shortest time the Holy Bird took to choose its master?
Even the Saintess back then took half an hour.
Cheng Qingxue couldn’t hide the smugness in her eyes.
She brought the Holy Bird around the field. Just as she was about to complete the last step, the Holy Bird suddenly flapped its wings and flew up, pecking fiercely at her face!
Cheng Qingxue exclaimed.
Before everyone could understand what had happened, they saw that not only had the Holy Bird pecked at her, but it had also slapped Cheng Qingxue with its small wings!
Cheng Qingxue was stunned!
