In the back hall of the Saintess Palace, there were only six candidates present. The rest of the cultivators were arranged to sit at the side.
The two sect masters of the Beauty Girl Sect had already left the banquet. According to Yin Jie, Yan Zhao Xue did not even attend the banquet. As for Yan Fanxin, she had only sat for a short while before leaving, leaving behind a group of female attendants to serve her.
Yi Tian understood in his heart that Yan Zhaoxue was not present because she was discussing with him about the third stage. Looking around, he saw that other than Xing Lin and himself, who were from the Immortal Sword Sect, the other four were loose cultivators from aristocratic families.
As for Huo Chi Lian, Huo Yun Biao, Yin Jie, and even Monk Hui Yuan, they were all sitting at the spectator seats. They were all drinking wine and discussing who would stand out in the third trial.
Seeing that the five people beside him were more or less a little nervous, Yi Tian also secretly laughed. If it wasn't for Yan Zhaoxue, that little girl, being too hot, he might have really done it. Unfortunately, he was only here to solve a problem and did not want to get involved.
Since he had promised Yan Zhao Xue, he had to pick her. First, he had to solve the problem of the Beauty True Fire. That was the most important thing.
Two hours later, he heard the sound of a zither coming from the back of the side hall. Following that, twenty female attendants wearing the same clothes and scarves slowly walked into the side hall.
The twenty of them walked past the six candidates and walked around the center of the main hall. Finally, they stood in a row at the back of the stage.
At this moment, Yan Fanxin leisurely walked out and sat down on her seat on the high platform. She then said, "The next stage is the selection of a wife in front of the palace. My daughter, Yan Zhaoxue, is among the six people here. The six people who have been selected have one chance to choose.
At this time, Xing Lin opened his mouth and asked, "Are there any other rules?"
Yan Fanxin nodded her head and said, "During the selection, you are not allowed to touch the candidates with your hands. The selection time is limited to an incense stick of time. If you do not choose my daughter, but fall in love with the person you choose, you can also ask me for a Dao Companion. "
Hearing this, the six people nodded their heads. Thinking about this matter, it was not a loss. Even if they were not chosen, they would still be able to hug the beauty. But they did not know how the other palace maids of the Beauty Sect looked like.
Yan Fanxin clapped her hands, and six female attendants walked out from the side with trays in their hands. On each of the trays, there was a stalk of camellia. Not long after, they stopped in front of the six of them.
"Everyone can choose the camellia on the tray and bring it to the palace maid of your choice," Yan Fanxin looked at the female attendant beside her and pointed at the incense burner on the table. The female attendant immediately took out a stick of incense and lit it up before inserting it vertically into the incense burner.
Yan Fanxin spoke up, "Candidates, you may begin now. Those who are late will be deemed to have forfeited."
When the six of them heard this, they each picked up the camellias and walked towards the rows of palace maids. Before they could get any closer, they saw Hong Luanxin and a few other people pulling a red silk cloth to separate the two sides.
Yan Fanxin, who was sitting on the high platform, said, "You are not allowed to cross the red silk during the selection. Violators will be automatically disqualified."
As soon as she said this, the six of them took a few steps back. However, they slowly extended their divine senses to investigate. These palace maids were just as Yan Zhaoxue had said. The veils and scarves on their heads were able to block out divine senses.
At this moment, a strange expression appeared on the faces of the six of them, and they began to hesitate. Yi Tian, on the other hand, directly walked up and used his divine sense to scan the area. He discovered that the palace maid standing at the eighth position moved slightly. He wondered if this hint was too direct. Thinking about it, Yan Zhaoxue would not make such a low-level mistake. After thinking for a moment, he did not stop his divine sense and directly scanned the area.
On the other hand, Xing Lin, who was standing beside him, gave a meaningful look. Then, he gently tossed the camellia in his hand out, and it landed right on the head of the eighth palace maid.
Seeing that someone had made the first move, the remaining few could not hold themselves back any longer. They all chose the palace maid that they thought was Yan Zhaoxue in disguise.
Yi Tian was not in a hurry. Since he had not received any signal from Yan Zhaoxue, he could only bide his time. Just as his divine sense scanned the fifteenth palace maid, the Natal True Fire in his dantian suddenly moved. It should have been attracted by the Sunflower True Fire.
After secretly remembering this person, Yi Tian was not in a hurry to toss the camellia. Instead, he continued to scan with his divine sense. Suddenly, he felt the Natal True Fire in number 18's body. It was eager to try when he met Yan Zhaoxue. Thinking about it, any disciple of the Beauty Sect who cultivated the Sunflower True Fire would be able to sense the Natal True Fire in their body.
Fortunately, after meeting Yan Zhaoxue twice, he was able to remember this feeling. Thinking about it, he did not make the wrong choice. Yi Tian smiled. After twirling the camellia in his hand, he gently flicked it and directly inserted it into number 18's bun.
With a few buzzing sounds, the female attendant at the side rang the gong in her hand, indicating that the selection was over. Yan Fanxin, who was sitting on the high platform, stood up and said, "Since everyone has made their choice, then please let my daughter stand up to show fairness. Zhaoxue, quickly come forward. "
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the row of female prostitutes behind her all bow and then push back a little. Female prostitute number 15 directly walked up and took off the veil and scarf on her face, revealing her true appearance.
Immediately, there was an uproar. None of the six cultivators seemed to have made the right choice. Seeing Yan Zhaoxue's angry expression, everyone felt awkward. Some cultivators from the clans even complained about their own eyesight.
Among the six, only Yi Tian's divine sense stayed on number 15. But it was only for a moment. But at this moment, Yi Tian looked at Yan Zhaoxue's appearance and his heart tightened. Logically speaking, the guidance of the Natal True Fire in his Dantian would not be wrong. Just now, he had reacted to Number 15, but the reaction of the Natal True Fire on Number 18 was exactly the same as when he met Yan Zhaoxue four hours ago.
Facing Yan Zhaoxue who was pouting in a fit of pique, he really felt speechless.
Seeing that no one had chosen her, Yan Zhaoxue was not angry. Instead, she said happily, "Mother, you have nothing to say. Just let your child cultivate freely. You don't have to worry about this."
Yan Fanxin nodded helplessly and said, "Then we'll do as you say." She then turned to the six people and said, "Everyone, don't be discouraged if you didn't make the right choice. If you're interested in the person you chose, you can discuss it in the back court." After saying that, she stood up and walked towards the back court.
The six people looked at each other and revealed a hesitant expression. After a while, there was still someone who walked towards the back court. The palace attendant that she chose also followed closely behind.
Yi Tian looked at number 18 in front of him. In his heart, he was sure that he did not choose the wrong person. But the real Yan Zhaoxue had already taken off her veil. Could it be that he had chosen the wrong person?
Suddenly, the Natal True Fire in his dantian jumped again. It was obviously a signal from the other party. Yi Tian did not stand on ceremony and walked towards the back court. Palace attendant number 18 followed closely behind and the two of them left the main hall not long after.
