Mei Ji went to the courtyard where Wei Ting and the others were staying.

It was already night. Rotating octagonal glass lanterns were hung under the corridor, and there were many hanging around the courtyard, illuminating the dark courtyard.

The three little ones squatted on the ground and played with marbles. Wei Xiyue sat on the steps with the jar.

Whoever put one in would be fed a sugar-stained walnut by Sister Xi Yue.

When Mei Ji came over, Xiaohu had just gotten one… Dahu and Erhu had already gotten a few tonight.

Xiaohu danced with joy and ran to Wei Xiyue. His small arms fluttered behind him as he opened his mouth and obediently waited to be fed.

Wei Xiyue secretly fed him three pills.

It could be said that she doted on Xiao Bai very much.

“Sister Mei Ji.”

Erhu was the first to notice Mei Ji.

“Erhu!” Mei Ji’s eyes were not bad. She could differentiate the three little fellows clearly.

Xiaohu loved to snooze. As long as there was one who did not move, it would definitely be Xiaohu.

Dahu was the most diligent. He would be the one who was sweating the most.

Erhu was a little slv and liked to slack off unnoticeablv.

She walked over and pinched Wei Xiyue’s face. “Xiyue.”

She scratched the heads of the three little ones. “Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu.”ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ.nᴇt

The four little ones looked behind her.

Erhu asked, “Aunt Mei Ji, where’s Mother?”

Mei Ji said, “Your mother still has something on and can’t come over.”

Hearing this, the three little ones were a little sad.

Mei Ji took out the hand behind her back. In her palm was a box specialty rice cakes from the southern border. “But she misses you very much and asked me to bring you snacks. Be good and you’ll be able to see your mother soon.” The three of them nodded vigorously!

Mei Ji distributed the rice cakes to the four children and went to the study to see Wei Ting, Sir, and the others.

When the brothers saw the hand in the portrait, their expressions changed in unison.

Wei Yan was the cheekiest in the family when he was young.

Once, when the entire family went to the manor in the summer, he did not stay obediently in the house but ran to the cotton fields.

He fell and almost fell on the sickle. It was his father who arrived in time to pick up this disobedient brat.

However, he lost his balance and pressed his arm on the sickle. The sickle tilted up and cut from his palm to the back of his hand. Would there be a second scar like this in the world?

The brothers felt their blood surge.

“Could it be Dad?” Wei Liulang’s voice was trembling.

“It’s hard to say now.” Wei Qing remained calm. “We can’t be sure that it’s Dad just because of a scar.”

Ghostfear said, “I’ll go to the Holy Maiden Temple.”

Mei Ji said, “There’s no past for sacrificial soldiers. Why are you going?

Ghostfear was speechless.

Mei Ji sighed. “You should have explored the Holy Maiden Temple before. It’s not easy to enter, right? There are many experts and the Snow Region Heavenly Silk as a guardrail. It’s almost impossible to enter. It’s best not to act rashly.”

“Have you broken through the Holy Maiden Temple?” the assassin asked.

Mei Ji said indifferently, “Oh, I went once and suffered a sword qi. I’m fine now. The hateful thing is that I didn’t even see what the other party looked like.” The asassin frowned.

Wei Liulang said, “If I had known that you would go secretly, I would have reminded you. The experts of the Holy Maiden Temple are indeed a little suspicious. Big Brother and I almost fought them.”

“It’s just that you slipped away quickly.”

After interacting with Su Xiaoxiao for a long time, Mei Ji had learned to hit the nail on the head.

Wei Liulang coughed lightly.

Ghostfear said thoughtfully, “Those are not ordinary experts. They are sacrificial soldiers, but… they are different from sacrificial soldiers like me.” “How is it different?” Mei Ji asked.

Ghostfear said, “They don’t have their own thoughts. Ordinary sacrificial soldiers just don’t have their past, but they… are more like puppets.” Mei Ji snorted. “No, I think some sacrificial soldiers still have their past.”

Ghostfear muttered, “You can’t get over this, right?”

Mei Ji held her cheek with one hand. “Could it be… that they plan to refine that person into a puppet?”

Wei Ting said calmly, “What do you mean?”

Mei Ji pointed at the painting on the table. “It’s this man with the scar on his hand. He woke up a few times, but he didn’t listen to them every time. Last time, he even injured the Saintess. They’re feeding him medicine, as if they want to control him.”

Wei Qing said, “I’ve long heard that there’s a secret technique in the southern border that can control people’s hearts. Although the rumors are exaggerated, this medicine that can mess with one’s mind is probably real.”

Wei Liulang pondered and said, “Five years ago, we lost a portion of our memories at Broken North Pass. Could it be related to this secret technique?”

It was already very painful for his brother to become a sacrificial soldier. The

Wei family could no longer yield a puppet that could be manipulated by others. Wei Ting frowned and said, “We all underestimated the southern border.”

When the countries mentioned the southern border, they all mocked it as a barbaric land. When they mentioned it, they snorted. However, how could they know that the southern border had been dormant for many years, secretly nurturing forces, strengthening their military forces, and gathering all the experts in the world for themselves at all costs?

The southern border was already an awakening ferocious beast.

When Mei Ji returned to the Cheng family, Cheng Sang had already rested. However, she was not sleeping in her room, but in Su Xiaoxiao’s room.

“Where should I sleep if she sleeps here?” Mei Ji asked.

Mei Ji was a maidservant in name, not a real maidservant. How could she sleep on the floor like a maidservant?

She slept with Su Xiaoxiao every night.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly. “I left for too long during the day. She was frightened and insisted on sleeping with me at night.” Mei Ji sighed. “Alright, let’s squeeze. Eh? What is this?” Mei Ji saw the token on the table.

“The Cheng family’s family head token,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Mei Ji was puzzled. “Why is the family head token of the Cheng family here?

Don’t tell me it was given by Xie Yunhe.”

“Cheng Sang gave it to me.” Su Xiaoxiao said Cheng Sang’s original words.

Mei Ji was stunned. “Wait, before Old Master Cheng died, that baby girl had already passed away, right? Why did he say that the family head token can only be given to Weiwei? Weiwei doesn’t exist in this world.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “If she can’t meet Weiwei in her life, she won’t give away the family master’s token for the rest of her life. Old Master Cheng should mean this and let her hold the family master’s token forever.”

“Old Master Cheng is a wonderful person,” Mei Ji said with sincere admiration. “As long as Xie Yunhe and Cheng Lian can’t get the family head token, they have to keep Cheng Sang alive. Old Master Cheng even brought out his dead granddaughter. He’s really thoughtful.”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “To Cheng Sang, who has already gone crazy, that’s the only way to keep her safe.”

Mei Ji said happily, “Fortunately, Cheng Sang is obedient and has her daughter in her heart. However, why did she suddenly give you the family head token?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I said that I want to run for the Saintess.”

Mei Ji looked at her in a daze. “You… are running for the Saintess?”

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “This is the only chance to enter the Holy Maiden

Temple again.”

Mei Ji played with the token in her hand. “So, you plan to participate in the Holy Selection with this?”

Peony Courtyard.

Cheng Lian finished applying medicine to her daughter’s face. “You’ll completely recover tomorrow. You can take off your veil.”

“How annoying!” Cheng Qingxue complained.

“What now?” Cheng Lian asked with a smile.

Cheng Qingxue muttered, “Today, I’m the only daughter of the four great families who doesn’t have a family head token. Even the nine-year-old Yin Xiaodie has it! How embarrassing!”

Cheng Lian said warmly, ‘Everyone knows about our family’s situation. Your Elder Mother has been crazy for so many years. I don’t know where she kept the family master’s token. I can’t find it even if I ask her. There’s nothing I can do. ”

Cheng Qingxue was not so easily comforted. “Although they don’t say it, they must be laughing at me in their hearts for not being the heir of the Cheng family.”

Cheng Lian stroked her hair. “You and your sister are both heirs of the Cheng family. Who cares what others say? Sleep early. Do you still have to take the exam tomorrow morning?”

Cheng Qingxue stomped her feet. “Don’t mention it. They don’t have to take the exam. I’m the only one who has to take it! ”

With the family head token, one could skip the first three rounds and directly enter the palace selection three days later.

Cheng Lian smiled comfortingly. “Aren’t those exams easy for you? Your sister has already taught you.”

Cheng Qingxue said unhappily, “I still need a body checkup!”

The first round was a physical examination.

Cheng Lian smiled and said, “Alright, didn’t your sister also get through this back then? With it, Miss Yin, Miss Ji, Miss Yue, the final position of the Saintess will definitely be yours.”

Cheng Qingxue felt better. “That’s right. Sister has arranged everything.. I will definitely become the Saintess!”
