"Master, I will never forget your guidance!" The mermaid girl had a solemn expression as she took half a step back and bowed to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan laughed loudly: "My efforts were not in vain. But sometimes, it is easier said than done, let me ask you, what do you want to do the most now? "
Xia Lin hesitated.
"I want to follow you, Master Chu!" This sentence immediately appeared in her mind.
But before she could speak, Fang Yuan shook his head: "You have not thought about it, think about it when you have time in the future. Actually, I don't care what you want to do. Do you know what I want to do? "
Xia Lin shook her head, but at the next moment, her pupils dilated, her body froze and did not move.
Because Fang Yuan slowly stretched out his hand and touched her face.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Xia Lin's face was flushed red, her heart was beating rapidly and her eyes were filled with ripples of autumn water.
She felt the warmth and breadth of Fang Yuan's palm, this feeling was like a tiny electric current that spread throughout her body and mind. It was clearly a very ordinary action, but it made Xia Lin unable to move.
Fang Yuan retracted his hand: "You still have a mask on your face."
Xia Lin was bewildered, she heard Fang Yuan continue: "Sometimes, we put on a mask of our own accord, sometimes, others force us to put on a mask. Now, I want to take off the mask on your face, you have to cooperate with me, understand? "
"Master, master, you don't need to …" Xia Lin vaguely knew what Fang Yuan wanted to do, she stuttered as she tried to dissuade him.
Fang Yuan waved his hand: "My heart will be happy as long as I don't take off this mask. I don't want to hurt my feelings, since you feel that you owe me, then cooperate with me as compensation. "
At this point, how could Xia Lin reject?
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Fang Yuan three times before standing up silently: "Master Chu, I will do whatever you tell me to do!"
"Okay, then become the saintess."
"What?"
A few days later.
The final test of the Sea God Ceremony, everyone was watching.
Su Yi looked at Xia Lin in extreme shock, it was as if she had seen a ghost.
The two nannies below the stage were also stunned.
After hearing the Grand Elder's explanation, the crowd went into an uproar.
Su Yi originally had victory in her grasp because her opponent was heavily injured in the previous round and could not go on stage due to the short amount of time.
But unexpectedly, an accident happened.
The long lost younger sister of his competitor had been found, it was the mermaid Xia Lin in front of him!
"Isn't this too melodramatic?"
"Unbelievable!"
"Xia Lin … isn't she the one who betrayed Su Yi and sold out her master for glory?"
"That is just a rumor spread by Su Yi's side. The real reason was that Su Yi wanted to squeeze out a follower spot. I heard that the invigilator has already pleaded guilty, there's even evidence of him coercing Xia Lin, it's irrefutable! "
"This … this is even more exciting than the singing in the opera."
The crowd discussed animatedly and gradually became excited.
The two old women sent private messages to each other.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Why did the public's opinion change so suddenly?"
"And we did not arrange for an invigilator at all, why did he suddenly plead guilty?"
Su Yi's expression was very ugly, but Xia Lin was calm, she looked at the crowd with a calm attitude. Fang Yuan's earlier teachings seemed to have elevated her to a whole new level.
Seeing that Xia Lin did not put her in her eyes, Su Yi felt even more annoyed, she snorted coldly: "Xia Lin, I really did not expect that we would meet again in this manner."
"I also did not expect it." Xia Lin looked at Su Yi and said honestly. The ups and downs these few days were like a dream.
Su Yi snorted coldly again: "No matter what you are plotting, this final test is not something any merman can pass. The saintess of this Sea God Ceremony will definitely be me. "
"Oh." Xia Lin replied plainly.
Su Yi instantly felt like her punch landed on cotton, it was extremely uncomfortable.
Xia Lin started to look at the crowd again, there were too many people, they were densely packed together.
"Master Chu said that he would look for me in the crowd. But which one is he? Why can't I find him? Could it be that he had disguised himself? His divine ability is too great, if he wants to hide his identity, I will never be able to find him. "
"After this matter is over, I will tell him that I want to leave with him. I wonder if he will agree to it? "
This question lingered in Xia Lin's mind, the saintess position had no attraction compared to the answer to this question.
In the first round, Xia Lin won against Su Yi.
In the second round, Xia Lin won against Su Yi again.
Such a result was out of everyone's expectations, the audience went into an uproar as they discussed and expressed their shock.
Fang Yuan was hidden in the crowd, his expression was similar to the people around him, but his heart was cold.
These last few days, he had been secretly nurturing Xia Lin, he did not hesitate to use time path immortal methods to gain a lot of time to train her to a certain extent.
Adding on the songs that Fang Yuan personally composed, there was also the sound path Gu worm that Fang Yuan gave to Xia Lin, it was specially made for her.
And when Su Yi and Xia Lin went on stage to sing, Fang Yuan had secretly done something to affect their performance. The former's performance was not smooth, while the latter's performance was getting better with Fang Yuan's secret support.
"Other than us outsiders, this grotto-heaven originally had no Gu Immortals. Now that I am using immortal methods, do you think I can't control this grand ceremony of mortal Gu Masters? "
"What do we do? The third round is about to begin. "The two nannies were sweating profusely, they were sent by the clan to assist Su Yi. If Su Yi did not obtain the saintess position, they would not be able to escape the clan's responsibility.
Su Yi's expression was pale as she looked at Xia Lin.
This was like a dream!
From Su Yi's point of view, Xia Lin was just an ordinary and dull girl. But because she had gather oil Gu and was a merman, she had the intention to make use of her.
Although she felt uncomfortable when she ostracized Xia Lin earlier, she did not think much of it.
Even if Xia Lin wanted to take revenge, what could she do? She was alone and only had rank two cultivation, wouldn't she be at the mercy of others?
If not for the saintess position in sight and Su Yi did not want to be distracted, she would have used this chance to snatch Xia Lin's rank five Gu worm.
This was not returning kindness with enmity!
Could a rank two Gu Master protect a rank five Gu worm?
This was the sin of possessing a precious item.
Thus, in Su Yi's opinion, rather than Xia Lin being harmed, she might as well persuade her to contribute gather oil Gu to her clan. That way, she would benefit from it and Xia Lin would not die, it would be helping her.
This was a small plan in Su Yi's mind. But the saintess position was too important, Su Yi did not dare to be distracted and did not want to attract criticism, she could only give up on Xia Lin for now.
If someone had told her before that Xia Lin would be her biggest obstacle in competing for the saintess position, Su Yi's reply would be: hehe.
But now, Su Yi really wanted to laugh at herself, this fate was too cruel.
That's right, Fang Yuan personally made a fake identity for Xia Lin, who could see through it?
There was not a single person in the huge Sacred City!
Thus, the evidence that proved Xia Lin's identity was unassailable and irrefutable. Even Su Yi believed that Xia Lin's identity was true.
"Oh fate, this joke of yours is too big." Su Yi sighed in her heart.
"Missy, what do we do?" The two nannies were also at a loss.
"There's no way we can do anything in public, and we don't have enough time. There is only one way left, I will personally persuade her. "Su Yi was silent for a while before gritting her teeth.
She transmitted her voice to Xia Lin: "Xia Lin, I am Su Yi."
Xia Lin was shocked but she soon calmed down and replied in secret: "What is it?"
Su Yi prepared for a few breaths: "I want to make a deal with you, you withdraw your strength and defeat me in the next round, I will become the saintess. I swear to the Sea God that I am willing to pay a price that you will be satisfied with. Even if I am not strong enough, my clan will definitely satisfy you. "
Xia Lin was silent for a while before saying: "I am sorry, I …"
"Don't be in a hurry to reject me, Xia Lin, you are too young, maybe you do not know the meaning of the saintess position. What do you think a saintess is? Is it pure faith? Or is it a shallow talent show? None of them! It involves benefits, it involves the competition of the entire Sacred City's upper echelons, this is a political game. "
"I know, you want to take revenge on me, but do you know? The situation you are in right now is also very dangerous. Once you become the saintess, you will be in even more danger. The force on your sister's side pushed you to the throne because they have no other choice, so they are trying everything they can. Once you become the saintess, they will do their best to turn you into their puppet and make you do many things that are beneficial to them. "
"Although I have not interacted with you for a long time, I understand you very well, Xia Lin. You are pure and kind, if you become the saintess, you will probably seek benefits for the merfolk. But you will never succeed, because you are not part of any political force, you are just an outsider. Unless you integrate with one of them and become their representative, you will be ostracized by everyone else. You will become the most mediocre saintess in history, a saintess in name only. "
"And if you choose to make a deal with me, the things you will obtain will definitely exceed your imagination, much more than what you can get from your sister. Please believe in my sincerity! "
Su Yi's eloquence was incredible, even Xia Lin was moved by her words.
But she replied at the next moment: "Lady Su Yi, I understand your sincerity, but I cannot agree to this."
"Why?" Su Yi's tone was anxious: "Do you think I am lying to you? Although it is cruel, I am speaking the truth. Don't be so … naive, alright? "
Xia Lin was silent.
