Chapter 44 Baptism 1
It is cloudy and rainy on July 7th, so it is not possible to travel during the festival.
The clouds covered the sun's brilliance like a blinding fog.
At eight o'clock, Qingtian opened her eyes in a daze while being licked by Nami, and felt a needle-like pain in her brain. The dark room was filled with overlapping images, which gave her the urge to vomit, and she retched for a while. She closed her eyes again.
It's true, you will die if you try it.
Last night, I tried to divide my soul power between Yilan and Lanzemar, and almost tore my soul apart. Fortunately, I succeeded in the end.
"Miss, are you okay? Are you okay?" Yilan swayed left and right in her conscious space worriedly.
"Practice a little and use spiritual power to nourish yourself. It will get better. You were too messy yesterday." Lanzemar also rose from the ocean of consciousness.
Seeing that these two people are obviously angry, Qingtian feels that it is worth it, but the method must be improved in the future...
The housekeeper Neke stood at the door of the second lady's room very early.
He blames himself deeply now.
That elder Su Mu looked sanctimonious, but actually had evil intentions. He actually tricked the young lady into becoming an ascetic monk! Oh my god, were you blind in the past? This is all that person's conspiracy. Miss Yilan is so pitiful.
Hearing movement in the room, Neke tentatively asked, "Miss Yilan? Are you awake?"
I didn't wake up, I didn't want to wake up at all. Qing Tian was just about to practice when he was interrupted.
"Miss..." Nek held his throat and shouted softly in a long voice.
Qingtian said angrily: "What's the matter? I want to rest!"
When Nek heard the lady's response, he immediately smiled and asked, "What kind of flowers do you think would be better to put in the restaurant today?"
What flowers to put? Fireworks?
Qingtian's head hurt and he was a little confused.
After thinking for a while, he finally responded, "Yellow Yilan flowers."
Neike was surprised that the second lady's name was taken from the flower's name. There are three colors of Yilan flowers. The yellow flower language means apology, regret, and farewell blessings...
"Are you sure it's the yellow Yilan flower?"
Qingtian said impatiently: "Yes, and you told mother that I need a bowl of Shiquan Dabu Decoction to replenish my energy, spiritual power and soul!"
"Yes! I understand!" Nek agreed.
At ten o'clock, a pale man sat in the golden restaurant on a sunny day, enjoying the breakfast specially prepared by Kasna.
There are seven or eight kinds of nourishing soups with different effects. Kasna must have stewed all the treasures at home...
She patiently finished every item, then puffed her cheeks and raised her head to look at the three people across the long table.
Kasna, Meili, and Neke nodded with satisfaction.
……
After lunch, take a shower and change clothes on a sunny day.
I looked in the mirror and found that except for my complexion, everything else was okay. I was wearing a plain white dress that made me look like a delicate little flower. I felt pity for him...
The motorcade set off from Morton Manor at 12:40. Many members of the branch family came this time. The number of the motorcade was actually more than the last funeral.
It's still a sunny day, Meili, Nami is a car.
Through the car window, under the dark sky, the white buildings of Morton Manor gradually became farther and smaller, and finally disappeared vaguely from the field of vision.
The surrounding ridge woods are retreating rapidly, as if they are about to withdraw from the sunny stage of life with two months of memories.
An hour later, the Morton family's motorcade stopped outside the square of the Chosen Headquarters. Except for designated special areas, the entire street was lined with horse-drawn carriages on both sides.
At this moment, people were already standing on both sides of the square.
Inside are the guards and priests of the Chosen Group. They maintain order and ensure that the middle aisle is clear.
In the aisle, many nobles were walking in, all of them dressed well, like opera singers walking on the red carpet.
Behind the guards of the Divine Chosen Group, people who could not enter the Holy Lady's Hall to watch the ceremony could watch the ceremony through the large psychic light screen in the square. They gathered in groups of three or five and talked about it.
"I really didn't expect that not long after that young lady quit the Chosen Group, she would join again."
"Yes, still as an ascetic monk."
"I think it's just gratitude. The Chosen Group saved the sisters this time."
"Who knows, but is this a slap in the face of the person above..."
"Ahem, be careful what you say!"
"Just say a few words and we'll take a look."
……
At the entrance of the Holy Lady's Hall, the elders of the Chosen Group received news that Duke Morton had arrived. So they arranged their appearance and stood up again, but the expressions on their faces were a little numb.
There have been several waves today, and all the big shots have come, making the elders a bit like servants welcoming guests.
It can only be said that Elder Su Mu is really good at it. One Moton Yilan attracted most of the aristocratic circles in the imperial capital, including the queen.
Looking at the crowds of people in the square, the impact of this baptism is really great. The Chosen Group has recently been humiliated by the royal family and nobles one after another, and now it can be considered proud. Hum, so what if the Duke's daughter has also become a devout believer.
Duke Morton and Kasna led Qingtian's group of people, and under everyone's attention, they stepped into the Holy Lady's Hall.
Sitting in the main seat of the main hall, the Saint and the Queen abandoned their previous grudges and pretended to be friendly. They stopped greeting each other and at the same time focused their attention on the little girl next to the Duke.
Haha, Lanzemar, this new skin is really not very good, it looks like a straw...
Haha, the foolish son's vision is nothing more than this. You actually asked me to participate in such a boring ceremony.
The two women looked away at the same time, looking at each other and smirking.
"What a nice kid."
"Looks very well-behaved."
……
On behalf of the Morton family, Morton Daoer greeted the Council of Elders of the Chosen Group and the great nobles present, and then he and his family found a specially vacant seat next to the main seat and sat down.
After Qingtian sat down, she ignored everyone's eyes on her and observed the Saintess' Temple. It was not easy to repair it to such an extent in two days. The craftsmen were quite capable.
After looking around at the statues and decorations, her nervousness calmed down a lot. I didn't expect the scene to be so big before I came here. Fortunately, it is a confrontation between imperial power and divine power. This wave of publicity by the Chosen Group is very effective and has full effect.
Thinking of this, Qingtian felt something inexplicable. He turned around and saw Su Mucheng who had just walked out of the back hall not far away. Their eyes met.
Su Mucheng raised his eyebrows. The little girl didn't look very good today. She was wearing a white dress, and her weak and pretentious appearance was not in line with her usual personality. She should change her clothes after the ceremony is over.
Qingtian sneered, with a human-like painted skin and a dog-like appearance. It was appropriate to wear black, because he had a dark heart after all.
Saint Luo Xi saw the two of them looking at each other and said calmly: "Let's get started."
The priest who received the order rang the bronze bell vigorously at the door of the Holy Lady's Hall.
The copper bell blessed by the psychic array rang one after another, and the sound spread out little by little, passing through the square, crossing the northern area of the imperial capital, and spreading throughout the entire imperial capital.
The clang, clang, clang sound hit everyone, making people feel solemn. Many people who believed in the goddess spontaneously put their hands on their left chests to show respect.
Lanzetu stood in the study with his hands behind his back, overlooking the temple from the window, looking very unhappy, "The brat actually encouraged the queen to attend the ceremony? What about himself?"
The attendant stood behind him and lowered his head, "The Queen has gone, but His Highness has not. I guess Your Highness wants the Queen to support the little princess."
"Nonsense! The queen is not sensible, and she actually went there! These magicians are slapping the royal family in the face by making such a big deal!" Lanzetu's face turned red with anger.
Seeing that His Majesty was really angry, the attendant quickly advised him: "Your Majesty, calm down, there is no need to be impatient. No matter what, we still have the upper hand, and the future will be long."
After hearing this, Lanzetu sneered, "Indeed. Are all the people sent ready? Keep an eye on me."
"Everything is ready. As long as the ceremony is successful, the mobs who have been harmed by the Chosen Group will rush in." The chamberlain replied.
"Be careful not to accidentally hurt the queen." Lanzetu sighed, "It's a pity that Dao'er's child was hurt. I can only say that this is the goddess's intention. She is not suitable to join the Chosen Group."
"Yeah, she's not suitable."
Lanzetu nodded, "Go ahead, keep an eye on it and report back at any time."
"Yes."
