General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

“Why would you want the Snake Bone Flower? There are so many treasures in the Holy Maiden Temple. Why would you like a flower? Yes, that flower is rare, but you’re not sick. Why do you want it? Ah, I understand. You want to treat Cheng Sang’s madness? But I’ve never heard of the Snake Bone Flower having such an effect?”

Yin Xiaodie was puzzled.

The little girl’s senses were quite sharp. She had only asked, but she had already thought so much.

To be honest, Su Xiaoxiao was not interested in being a Saintess at all. She came to participate in the election for the Snake Bone Flower and Wei Xu’s medicine.

If she got first place in the first three rounds, she would have a chance to obtain the Snake Bone Flower. It was a good opportunity for her.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Young one, didn’t you say you wanted to make a deal with me last time?”

Yin Xiaodie frowned and said, “Didn’t you not agree? Why? Did you fail the exam just now and finally realize that you need a backer?”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “I’ll help you deal with Cheng Qingxue. If you get first place in all three rounds, ask the Saint Lady Temple for the Snake Bone Flower as a reward.’

Yin Xiaodie was surprised. “You really want the Snake Bone Flower?”

“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “To be honest, a good friend of mine is sick and needs the Snake Bone Flower as a medicinal catalyst.”

Yin Xiaodie sized up Su Xiaoxiao suspiciously. “So you came to the Holy Maiden

Temple just for the medicine primer?”

Su Xiaoxiao admitted generously, “That’s right.’

“No wonder you attended the selection with such an attitude. You didn’t do any homework…

Yin Xiaodie was a smart little adult. Although she was only nine years old, her eyes were sharp.

Those who really wanted to participate were all prepared, unlike a certain someone who looked like she was trying to force a square peg into a round hole.

Su Xiaoxiao praised, “It’s so easy to talk to smart people.”

If it were someone stupid, she would have to think of a way to convince the other party that she did not want to snatch the position of the Saintess.

“Stop flattering me!” Young Master Yin said seriously. “In addition, you’re not allowed to call me a little guy anymore!”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Can I call you Miss Yin Seven?”

Only then was Yin Xiaodie satisfied. She gave the lowdown on the last two rounds to Su Xiaoxiao.

Whoever finds the Holy Bird first and successfully brings it back to the Holy Maiden Temple will win. Those who can’t find the Holy Bird can advance if they find the Holy Grass. As for the last round, the Holy Bird will choose its master. Whoever can obtain the recognition of the Holy Bird will become the new Saintess.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “The second round doesn’t sound directly related to the third round. In any case, the Holy Bird has to choose its master. Then why bother to look for the Holy Bird in the second round? Can’t I still advance by plucking the Holy Grass?”

Yin Xiaodie said, “But on the way back with the Holy Bird, you can have the chance to interact with it and let it familiarize itself with you and remember your aura. It will be more likely to choose you in the third round. Of course, if you anger it, it will be a different story. Those who are abandoned by the Holy Bird will lose their right to compete on the spot.”

Su Xiaoxiao continued, ‘What should I do to be hated by the Holy Bird?” Yin Xiaodie raised her eyebrows and said, “Let it attack you.”

The rules of this selection were indeed characteristic of the Holy Maiden Temple… Su Xiaoxiao had one last question. “What kind of bird is the Holy Bird?”

Yin Xiaodie took out a portrait from her pouch and handed it to her. Su Xiaoxiao opened it and took a look. “Isn’t this a pigeon?”

Yin Xiaodie said solemnly, “It’s not an ordinary pigeon. It’s a divine pigeon domesticated by the Holy Mountain!”

Su Xiaoxiao smirked.

Wasn’t that still a pigeon?

Speaking of which, could it be that Cheng Qingxue raised so many pigeons in ordern to learn to catch the holy bird in advance?

Those pigeons might also be from the Holy Mountain and had been tamed with the Holy Bird. They had similar habits.

No wonder she was so angry when she ate her pigeon.

Su Xiaoxiao almost had a countermeasure.

The medical skills and calculations on the first day were all under the invigilators of the Holy Maiden Temple. It was possible to manipulate certain factors internally, but the possibility of the examinees tampering with the results was not high.

Tomorrow’s trip to the Holy Mountain was the best time to eliminate the competitors.

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly smiled.

Yin Xiaodie asked, “What are you smiling at?”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “I’m smiling at myself. I really should have handed in a blank paper just now.”

Yin Xiaodie was puzzled. “What do you mean?”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Because I’ve formed an alliance with you. I believe you can protect me in advancing.”

“Ahem.” Yin Xiaodie was a little embarrassed to be suddenly praised like this. “Stop fooling around. Wait for my answer. You will definitely advance.” It had nothing to do with Yin Xiaodie.

Instead, tomorrow’s trip to the Holy Mountain was a good opportunity to get rid of her. Even if she did badly today, the Holy Maiden would definitely let her advance.

Indeed, when it was time for her to treat the patient, she realized that the patient she had drawn was only suffering from an ordinary cold.

In order to further verify her guess, during the math test in the afternoon, when Emissary Loo walked over to invigilate, Su Xiaoxiao deliberately dropped a ball of paper that seemed to be an answer at Emissary Loot s feet. However, Emissary Loo acted as if she did not see anything and walked over.

Su Xiaoxiao sat behind Yin Xiaodie.

After Yin Xiaodie finished, she stuffed her exam paper to Su Xiaoxiao to copy.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at it.

These questions were considered difficult in ancient times, but the young one only got one question wrong.

After the examination ended, everyone came out of the examination hall one after another.

The calculations in the afternoon were more difficult. Even the daughter of the Yue family revealed a trace of displeasure.

Cheng Qingxue looked confident, as if the first place was already in her bag.

Cheng Lian came to pick her up.

She didn’t even look at Su Xiaoxiao and got into the carriage with the maidservant waiting in the side hall.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t leave yet. She had to steal Wei Xu’s prescription.

She stopped Yin Xiaodie. “Young one, I want to borrow a few books from the library. Can you bring me there?” Yin Xiaodie said in a tone, “What did you call me just now?”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Miss Yin Seven.” Yin Xiaodie was satisfied. “Hmph, follow me!”

Yin Xiaodie went to find Elder Ji.

Elder Ji was Old Master Yin’s sister and Yin Xiaodie’s grandaunt. Yin Xiaodie was only bringing a friend to the library. It was not difficult.

“Who is it?” Elder Ji asked.

Yin Xiaodie said, “Cheng Sang’s granddaughter, the one who just came back to acknowledge her family.”

Elder Ji’s eyes flashed. “Her…”

The Saintess and Cheng Sang’s lineage did not get along. That girl was someone the Yin family could use.

Elder Ji agreed.

She asked her trusted disciple to send the two of them to the library.

“What book are you looking for?” Yin Xiaodie asked.

Su Xiaoxiao looked around. “You’re not allowed to tell anyone if I tell you.” Yin Xiaodie patted her chest and said, “Don’t worry, I’m a trustworthy person!”

Su Xiaoxiao whispered to her, “I heard that there are many experts in the Holy

Maiden Temple who are controlled by medicine.”

Yin Xiaodie looked at her strangely. “Are you curious about this?” Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Looks like you know too. Aren’t you curious?”

Yin Xiaodie was about to speak when Su Xiaoxiao’s ears twitched and she gestured for her to keep quiet.

Someone was coming!

So be it. Why were they being so mysterious?

Yin Xiaodie turned around resentfully.

It was the Saintess.

Eh? To think the Saintess was at the Book Storage Pavilion so late.

Yin Xiaodie was curious and squatted behind the bookshelf to secretly observe with Su Xiaoxiao.

Rumble.

The stone door of the secret room opened.

Yin Xiaodie was extremely surprised.

She had been to the Book Depository so many times. Why didn’t she know that there was a secret room inside?

Su Xiaoxiao knew about the secret room here. Wei Xu used to lie inside, but he was moved to Qionghua Hall by the a trusted aide.

In the dim light, an expert from the Holy Maiden Temple came to the Saintess

in a black cloak.

The Saintess opened a portrait. “Find this person and bring him back.”

From Su Xiaoxiao’s angle, she could see the portrait.

It was Wei Xu.

Yin Xiaodie did not know Wei Xu and only felt that the man in the portrait was so heroic.

How strange. Who was he? Why was the Holy Maiden looking for him?

Could those rumors…

After looking at the portrait, the expert walked out of the hall. The Saintess stopped him and instructed, “Remember, I want him alive.” The expert turned around and nodded indifferently at the Saintess.

However, this casual action allowed Su Xiaoxiao to see the other party’s face clearly.

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered.

“It’s him?”
