Although Zhao Yixin and Heaven Breaker were still full of energy and vigor, the two girls needed some time to calm down and recover their energy after going through a series of battles.
Everyone rested for a day. The next day, a servant knocked on the door and reported that a large family had come to request an audience.
After asking Qin Xingyu, they found out that the Saintess usually had two waves of visitors. The first wave was those who wanted to exchange the Saintess badge. The second wave was those who had failed to exchange the badge. There was a third wave of visitors. They were the representatives of the elders. They were looking for potential Saintesses to ally with and gain some benefits from the Ancestral Ceremony.
Zhao Yixin had the servants bring all the family leaders into the hall. There were more than a hundred of them.
Every one of them had an outstanding bearing. Even if they were just standing there, they had an aura of superiority. They gathered in groups of three to five and were discussing something in low voices.
Seeing Li Rushuang and the others enter the hall, no one spoke. They all looked at her with burning eyes.
"Our Saintess already knows the purpose of your visit. We have already agreed to the alliance with the Qin Family. If there's nothing else, you may return!" Zhao Yixin still acted like a representative.
"The Qin Family? How is that possible? They're just a family below the 300th rank. Could it be that the Saintess has been deceived by them? "Immediately, someone questioned.
"That's right! Our Ou Family is ranked in the top 30. Why didn't the Saintess choose us? We can bring the greatest benefits to the Saintess! "
"Although our Hou Family isn't ranked in the top, we have a secret technique to strengthen the soul. We'll let the Saintess have the advantage during the Ancestral Ceremony!"
"Our Xiong Family …"
With someone taking the lead, the hall became noisy. All the families talked about their strength and miraculous abilities, hoping to change the Saintess' mind.
At this moment, a man in purple robes stood behind the crowd. His face was filled with nervousness, excitement, and even apprehension. He didn't dare to say anything. He only looked expectantly at the short figure behind Li Rushuang.
"Enough! Are you questioning the Saintess' decision? Do you think I need your meager strength to become the Saintess? " Although Zhao Yixin's voice was not loud, it still silenced the entire hall. She pointed at Qin Xingyu and said to everyone, "The Saintess is concerned about the family's potential. The Qin family has this potential, but you don't."
"Our … our clan's potential isn't bad either. My son can be ranked in the top hundred among the tens of thousands of geniuses in the Snow God City!" Someone was unconvinced and tried to defend himself in a low voice.
"He's just a child. He won't be of any help to the ceremony or the competition."
"Our disciples can at least help the Saintess for now. Saintess, you mustn't lose the big picture for small gains!"
"…"
"Leave! Our Saintess has already chosen the Qin Clan and needs to discuss the following matters with the Qin Clan. Send the guests off! "Zhao Yixin couldn't be bothered to be long-winded with them and waved his hand to signal the servants.
The faces of the patriarchs were not very good. The speech they had prepared for a long time was not used today. Helpless, they could only go to the next courtyard, which was the thirty-ninth saintess's courtyard, and hope that they would be lucky there.
Only the head of the Qin family was left at the scene. The purple-robed man excitedly walked up and bowed to Li Rushuang.
"Qin Zhao He greets Your Highness Saintess!"
"There's no need to be so courteous, head of the Qin Clan. Let's sit down and talk! There are still many things that we don't understand! "Zhao Yixin overstepped his boundaries and waved his hand to ask Qin Zhao He to take a seat.
Qin Zhao He glanced at Li Rushuang and found that she didn't have any objections. He was curious, but he didn't say anything.
Qin Xingyu was very obedient. Seeing that her father had arrived, she didn't take the initiative to speak. She just stood quietly behind Li Rushuang and observed.
He was observing Zhao Yixin's every move. He felt that this person who was going to be his master was even more powerful than the Saintess. Even the Saintess had to listen to him. What was his relationship with the Saintess?
"What does Your Highness Saintess want to ask?" Qin Zhao He asked respectfully.
"Tell me about the general situation of the Snow God City. What exactly is the Saintess doing here? What's the situation with the ceremony?" Zhao Yixin finally found someone who understood the situation, so he threw out all the doubts in his heart.
"There are about three forces in the Snow God City. The High Priestess of the Snow God City and the Snow God Guards under her command are the first and also the most powerful force. They have two-thirds of the power of the Snow God City! They are the enforcers of the Snow God City and also the ones who set the rules. No one dares to disobey them! The second force is the Saintess and the many elders. They control the Elders Council, which is second only to the High Priestess of the Snow God City. They have the authority to kill and seize many lives! The third force is the families like us and the many Saintess candidates. We are at the bottom of the hierarchy in the city. We have no rights and can only live in fear every day! "
After listening to Qin Zhao He's explanation, Zhao Yixin gradually understood the situation of the entire Snow God City. It seemed that the Snow God City looked calm on the surface, but in reality, there were turbulent undercurrents. These people had been suppressed for so long that they could explode at any time.
"Continue!" Zhao Yixin digested the information just now and gestured for him to continue.
"The Saintess is here to receive the Snow God's inheritance, and the ceremony is the place to receive the inheritance. When the time comes, the High Priestess of the Snow God will worship the Snow God, and the Snow God will bestow blessings to the Saintess and her subordinates to benefit and improve. I don't know the details. Our Qin Family is not ranked in the top three thousand families. In hundreds of thousands of years, we have only helped one Saintess to successfully obtain the inheritance. Moreover, it has been a long time, so a lot of information is missing! "Qin Zhao He looked a little embarrassed.
"Alright! This information is enough! " Zhao Yixin waved his hand and continued asking, "Last question, how many Saintesses have obtained the inheritance? Where did they go? "
"Every time the ceremony is held, more than one Saintess will obtain the inheritance. The Saintess who has obtained the inheritance can choose to return to her own world to continue cultivating, or she can choose to become the next Saintess here!"
"I see. Next, let's talk about how you helped the Saintess …"
The conversation was very pleasant. Zhao Yixin was very satisfied with Qin Zhao He's conditions. Their family would contribute a top-tier spiritual treasure to help the Saintess protect her soul during the ceremony.
This was an extremely rare top-tier spiritual treasure that could be worn by the soul. Its true value was probably no less than an Innate Spiritual Treasure!
Moreover, they would provide all kinds of resources so that they could improve their cultivation as much as possible before the ceremony.
That was because there was a challenge before the ceremony. Every Saintess had a chance to challenge another Saintess. If they could advance by one rank, their chances of obtaining the inheritance would increase. That was because their rank was related to their position in the ceremony. The first general and the High Priestess of the Snow God stood at the front of the Hall of Inheritance. They would be the first to feel the descent of the Snow God's will.
The next day, the Qin Family sent a large amount of cultivation materials and spiritual jades.
However, there were also a few elders' representatives who came along with the Qin Family. They all asked Li Rushuang to side with them, and they would send out powerhouses to participate in the challenge.
However, Li Rushuang did not need any of that. She was relieved as long as Zhao Yixin was there.
She politely rejected the elders' representatives, saying that she needed to think carefully before making a decision.
They then began a month-long cultivation.
