Chapter 874: Awakened
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Emissary Lin walked towards Qiong Hua Hall with his trusted disciple.
On the way, she bumped into an elder of the Holy Maiden Temple.
She bowed politely. “Elder Ji.”
In the Holy Maiden Temple, the person with the highest status was the Saintess, followed by the eight elders.
Among these people, some of the Saintesses became elders after abdicating, and some started as disciples and relied on their qualifications and strength to become elders.
Elder Ji was the former.
At the same time, she was also a member of the Ji family.
“It’s so late. Where are you going instead of serving the Saintess?” Elder Ji asked as if it was a routine question. Emissary Lin replied, “I’m bringing people to clean Qionghua Hall.”
Elder Ji asked, “Has the Saintess’ injuries healed?”
Qionghua Hall was where the Saintess usually practiced martial arts. A few days ago, the Saintess was injured while practicing martial arts. After that, she had been recuperating and did not even appear in the first three rounds of the Holy Selection.
However, it was time for the palace selection tomorrow to appear no matter what.
“It’s fine,” Emissary Lin said.
Elder Ji said indifferently, “That’s good. The palace selection tomorrow is very important. If the Saintess is absent, it won’t look good. Go clean the Qionghua Hall. I still have something on. I’ll leave first.”
“Elder Ji, take care.”
Emissary Lin bowed slightly. She only retracted her respectful expression and stood up after Elder Ji had walked far away. She instructed the person beside her, “No one is allowed to leak anything about the Qionghua Hall.”
Her trusted disciple agreed. “Yes.”
Emissary Lin continued, “Also, if anyone is discovered in Qionghua Hall, no matter who it is, kill them!”
One of the disciples hesitated for a moment and asked, “But if a disciple of our sect accidentally walks in…”
Emissary Lin looked at her dangerously.
The disciple hurriedly cupped her hands. “I understand! Those who trespass will be killed without mercy!”
Emissary Lin looked at the silent sky. “No one can discover the Saintess’ secret.”
At this moment, four small intruders were lying beside the bed, observing the man on the bed.
Dahu’s finger poked the man’s face. It was warm.
After confirming that he was only asleep, Xiaohu was no longer afraid of him. His small fingers poked his face.
“Why isn’t he awake? I want to go find Mother?” Xiaohu asked.
They couldn’t open the door.
He had to wake him up, but this adult could sleep better than his stinky father. He could not be woken up no matter what.
Dahu slapped him on the head.
Erhu hurt for him.
However, there was still no reaction.
Erhu took out his little talisman and placed it on his forehead. He imitated the witch in the countryside and chanted,
“Heavenly spirit, earthly spirit…’
Wei Xiyue looked at him quietly and did not say anything.
Emissary Lin brought his trusted disciple into Qiong Hua Hall.
After passing through the dignified and solemn main hall, the group stepped into the corridor on the east side. There was a faint yellow oil lamp hanging on the inner wall of the corridor.
Emissary Lin turned into a training room at the end. Just as she was about to press the mechanism on the wall, the wind chimes under the roof rang. Her eyes turned cold as she said warily, “Someone barged into Qionghua Hall!”
Ever since the Holy Maiden discovered suspicious charcoal dust on the wall of the Book Depository, she had strengthened the security of the sleeping hall and Qionghua Hall and secretly set up the Wind Chime Array.
Anyone who did not walk through the door would easily encounter the mechanism of the Wind Chime Array.
Lin Chang left two disciples behind and rushed out with the others to capture the assassin.
Ghostfear asked, “Was it you?”
Wei Ting said, “It wasn’t me.”
The two brothers looked at a faint thread under their feet and confirmed that they had not stepped on it.
Wei Ting clicked his tongue and said, “Looks like other than us, there’s someone else coming to barge into the Qionghua Hall tonight.”
Ghostfear said, “Don’t be happy too early. They might not be friends.”
Those who would come to Qionghua Hall seemed to be on bad terms with the Saintess, but who could guarantee the people inside were easy to deal with?
If they were here to snatch that puppet or simply destroy it, their actions tonight would make things worse.
“The southern border is not peaceful either.” Wei Ting narrowed his eyes.
Ghostfear said, “The Holy Maiden Temple is already one of the largest forces.
To have the guts to bring so many people to barge into the Holy Maiden
Temple, the force behind them can’t be underestimated.”
