Let's debut, fairy!

Chapter 35 Participating in the Talent Show
On the road inside the Zheng Shen Mansion.

As Su Xintang followed the maid, she asked worriedly, "Meng Bai, what do you think I should do to talk to him later?"

"Let's talk it out however we need to. Her goal is already very clear, so there's really nothing to talk about," Meng Bai said, glancing at the statue of the deity in the sky.

He added, "The only thing to worry about now is that your master can only decide on two of the nine assistant priests. What if your master has already promised those two positions to others?"

Su Xintang's body tensed up immediately.

The incident happened so suddenly that she hadn't really thought about it. She was just about to discuss it with Meng Bai when she saw an old woman in black blocking her way.

This old woman was Lu Yunluo's mother's maid, and now she is Lu Yunluo's personal nanny.

"So you are Su Xintang?"

"That's right." Su Xintang clasped her hands in a gesture of respect.

“My Miss Yunluo said that saving your sister is very simple. Just take the Purple Lotus Divine Token and ask your master to grant my Miss a position as a sacrificial attendant. Go now.”

After saying that, she waved her hand, as if shooing away a fly.

“Granny Lu Qin, Miss Su was personally invited by Miss Yunluo,” the maid said as she stepped forward.

"Miss has something urgent to attend to. Please go and ask for the position of attendant priest before you come back." After saying that, she blocked the road, making it seem as if she wouldn't be able to pass.

Seeing this, the maid frowned and then whispered, "Miss Su, please come out with me first. I will go and see the goddess later."

Su Xintang clenched her fists and took several deep breaths to suppress the anger in her heart.

But Meng Bai said, "Why does it sound like a charade?"

"A double act?" Su Xintang asked, puzzled.

"Let's go out with this maid first and see what to do next." Meng Bai felt that the Lu family's behavior was a bit strange.

Sure enough, after the two followed the maid through a maze of twists and turns out of the Zheng Shen Mansion, just as they were about to fly away, they heard a voice in their ear: "Miss Su, please wait."

Su Xintang turned around and saw a maid leading several black-clad protectors carrying boxes out the door.

"Miss Su, I am a maidservant under Miss Yunluo." The maidservant stepped forward and said with a smile.

Su Xintang clasped her hands in a salute, and then heard the maid say, "Previously, Miss Yunluo and your sister had many misunderstandings. Now, after Miss has inquired many times, she has finally learned the cause and effect."

It turns out that Granny Lu Qin, out of excessive love for her mistress, acted on her own initiative and tried to coerce Miss Su into securing a position as a concubine for her young mistress, which led to all of this.

"Is this really a double act?" Meng Bai didn't understand the point. Say some nice words, push the blame onto your subordinates, and Su Xintang won't hate you anymore?

Su Xintang was also quite annoyed, but the difference in strength was too great, so she could only clasp her hands and say, "I see."

“Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, there is absolutely no reason to detain your sister any longer.” After saying this, the maid glanced around, and the guardian behind her hurriedly stepped forward with a large box.

Upon opening it, they found Yu Xuanchen, who had shrunk to the size of a small snake, lying inside.

“Miss Yunluo gave your sister some healing pills. She may sleep for a few hours, so there’s no need to worry.”

"This..." Su Xintang was at a loss, and simply took the box hesitantly.

Meng Bai was also surprised; could a double act be performed like this?

However, the story doesn't end there.

Then the maid opened another box and said, "Although your sister bit Miss Yunluo, in the end, the matter was caused by the nanny's own initiative."

But Miss Yunluo was raised by Granny Lu Qin, so Granny Lu Qin couldn't bear to punish her. Therefore, she gave the young lady twelve 'Divine Thunder Sword Formation Talismans' as an apology, hoping that the young lady would not hold a grudge against Granny Lu Qin.

"Divine Thunder Sword Formation Talisman!" Su Xintang's eyes widened instantly. The Divine Thunder Sword Formation was Lu Guang's signature divine ability when he was young. If this talisman were sold, it would fetch at least 100,000 coins.

This is not over yet.

The maid opened another box and said, "This contains two catties of top-grade purple lotus heart and jade lotus root paste, a precious medicine for healing. It is for your younger sister to take."

"Jade lotus root paste, is that the one you told Ning Meng about?" Meng Bai asked curiously.

"No, this is jade lotus root paste mixed with top-grade purple lotus core. It's a hundred times more expensive than ordinary jade lotus root paste." Su Xintang's purple eyes were full of confusion.

That means there's at least another two hundred thousand yuan in this box. She couldn't understand what Lu Yunlu was doing.

Meng Bai couldn't understand it either.

But she quickly understood, because the maid opened the last box and said, "This is the Yin Spirit Soul. Inside is the soul of a deceased man named Liu Yuanqing, which I have given to you to use the Pillow Technique to comprehend the mortal world."

"These things were sent by Lu Xiqing in Lu Yunluo's name." Meng Bai immediately realized.

"How did she know I wanted the Yin Spirit Soul?" Su Xintang got goosebumps. "Could it be because she noticed me when I glanced at it in the side room just now?"

"I'm afraid not..." Meng Bai didn't think so.

If Lu Xiqing guessed that Su Xintang wanted the Yin Shen Po, why did she give away Liu Yuanqing, who was sold for 57,000, along with it? Why did she have to have the maid mention it?
"What she really wanted to give was probably Liu Yuanqing. She's using Liu Yuanqing to tell you that these things were given to you by her," Meng Bai guessed.

"If that's the case, why go through the trouble of saying it was a gift from Lu Yunluo?" Su Xintang was still puzzled.

"Firstly, to give face to her cousin; secondly, to reassure you that these things were given to you by her; and thirdly, to tell you to help her cousin out of consideration for her."

"Tsk tsk tsk, is this the goddess of housekeeping? No wonder she can manage the household so well." After marveling, Meng Bai added, "Just wait, she's probably going to make some demands."

As soon as he finished speaking, the maid stepped forward and whispered, "Miss Su, Miss Yunluo has a few words for me to convey to you."

"please say."

"Miss Su is indeed a prodigy in the path of cultivation. Given time, she will surely achieve great things. However, she is still too young, and her cultivation level has not yet reached the requirements for accompanying the ancestral tablet."

If you, young lady, can understand Miss Yunluo's desire for enlightenment, please grant her favor through your master. If Miss Yunluo attains divine status in the future, she will surely repay your great kindness.”

After saying that, the maid didn't wait for Su Xintang's reply. She left the things behind, turned around, and left with her entourage.

Su Xintang was dumbfounded.

Meng Bai said, "They're putting you in a difficult position. If you don't help Lu Yunluo get a position as a sacrificial attendant, then you're being unreasonable."

Meanwhile, in Lu Yunluo's courtyard.

Lu Xiqing closed her eyes to cultivate.

While practicing, he remarked, "Cultivation requires daily practice to make progress. Similarly, in doing things, one needs to think things through to avoid being laughed at."

"You!" Lu Yunlu's face flushed red.

"Cousin, tell me, if Yu Xuanchen is unwilling to be humiliated and commits suicide in prison, will you still have a good life in the future?" After saying that, Lu Xiqing put another vermilion fruit into her mouth.

"Do you think I'm afraid of Su Xintang?"

"Lu Qichang is a divine being, yet he was beaten so badly by Su Xintang that he couldn't fight back. Will you never be alone again? At that time, she will be just like Yu Xuanchen, risking her life to seek revenge on you even if it means mutual destruction. What will you do then?"

"According to you, it would have been better to release Yu Xuanchen when she arrived. Why make her go to the prison to see how miserable Yu Xuanchen is?"

"..." Lu Xiqing was speechless. How could she show her gratitude for letting Yu Xuanchen go if she didn't see Yu Xuanchen's miserable state?
She clapped her hands and said, "The Precious Edict Realm of Sleep requires the passage of the Taiyin to open, and the Taiyin will not arrive for another twenty-four days. You should prepare early. There are forbidden techniques in the Realm of Sleep, so you need to rely on your brains to gain fame..."

"Didn't that lowly servant already go and beg her master for me? Do I still need to enter the Sleeping Realm?"

"What if her master has already promised her the role of the offspring?"

"Then we'll suffer a huge loss!"

Lu Xiqing was speechless for the second time: "What's the loss? If she can't get the sacrificial offering, she'll naturally return the items. After returning them, she'll still owe someone a favor for not doing a good job. How is she losing out?"

After saying that, she said disappointedly, "Cousins, when are you going to grow up? Can't you make Grandpa proud?"

"you!"

Lu Xiqing turned and left, too lazy to say another word.

Meanwhile, Meng Bai had already been carried to the Purple Lotus Temple.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "Xintang, I'm afraid we have to find a way to go in and participate in this talent show ourselves."
