Chapter 285: Seize Power 40

ngxi sneezed. It wasn't snowing outside anymore, but it was bitterly cold. Even the fire in the hearth couldn't provide any warmth; it was simply freezing."Your Highness, have some hot water to warm y...Yao Qing hurriedly stopped him, "Master Chen, please wait. Since you've come to the Yao Clan, why not stay for a few more days and witness our clan's grand blessing ceremony before leaving"

獨孤城 looked embarrassed. "Elder Yao, this is not good."

"What's wrong You are the savior of the Holy Lord, and one of our Yao Clan. Don't you want to see what our Yao Clan's saintess looks like"

"Elder Yao, my young master is already married, this is not appropriate."

Ye Xi cooperated with Duke Wangye in acting, this Yao Qing actually wanted to win them over, it seems they could get a lot of useful information from him.

Yao Qingshuang smiled and said, "Since ancient times, men have had three wives and four concubines. What's more, this saintess is right in front of you. Doesn't Young Master Chen find her tempting"

"The Saintess is right before our eyes," Dugu Cheng narrowed his eyes, "Elder Yao means the Saintess has returned"

Yao Qing nodded, looking at the gleam in Dugu City's eyes. All the men under heaven were like this, few weren't attracted to women. Yesterday his attendant said he wasn't attracted to women, but today's probing seemed to show that Master Chen was also a fake gentleman.

The Lord has returned, so the Saintess has also returned.

Dugu Cheng looked at Ye Xi, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xi'er had been brought back by Elder Yao

"Elder Yao, it's better to obey than to be respectful. We won't disturb you."

Dugu Cheng abandoned yesterday's plan, he had to find out if Xi'er was in his hands. He wouldn't miss any news related to Xi'er.

Yao Qing made a gesture toward him, "Master Chen, please return to Fengyuan to rest first. After a while, I will have someone come and pick you up to attend the Grand Blessing Ceremony."

"When will I be able to see the Saint"

Yao Qing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master Chen, please don't worry. The Holy Lord is bestowing blessings. According to Yaozu customs, the Saintess cannot show her face. She must pray in the Prayer Hall and receive the blessing of the gods."

Dugucheng was a little uneasy when Yaoqing said this. Could it be that Xi'er had really fallen into his hands Looking at his confident eyes, he had to find an opportunity to ask his wife and then make a decision.

“This wasn’t Elder Yao who said so, my young master has a itch in his heart and wants to see the Saintess.” Ye Xi said with a smile, signaling the King not to be too impatient. Since they were invited to stay, this Elder Yao would definitely make the Saintess appear.

The Yao Clan's saintess is naturally a beauty that captivates the heavens and earth. Just rest assured, Master Chen.

Dugu Cheng bowed his hands and said, "Elder Yao is right. I was too presumptuous."

"Master Chen, please."

Dugu Cheng nodded at Yao Qing and returned to Fengyuan. Yao Qing had people attend to them, "The two young masters take a bath and change their clothes. I will have someone come pick you up later to attend the Blessing Ceremony."

"Thank you, Elder Yao."

Yao Qing bid a few farewells before leaving Fengyuan. Ye Xi watched as the maidservant carrying water entered, and seeing the clothes they brought, she walked over to take them. "You may go first. We'll go out after we bathe."

"Young Master Chen, Elder Yao has ordered me to attend to both of you with bathing and dressing. I will take both young masters to the Blessing Ceremony shortly."

Ye Xi winked at the Wang Ye, "Then you wait at the door, and I'll call you when it's done."

"This..."

"Just now Elder Yao said, my young master is the best choice for the saintess' husband, you understand what I mean"

Ye Xi winked at them, the maidservant glanced at Dugu Cheng, then hurriedly retreated to the door to keep watch.

"This Yao Qing seems to be keeping a close eye on the two of us, Ye Xi. When we get the chance, we must find out who this so-called saintess is"

Dugu Cheng grabbed the clothing and sniffed it at his nose. The coldness in his eyes pierced through people, he even dared to tamper with the clothing. This Yao Qing was truly foolish, this little trickery, could actually be considered a decent move

"My lord..."

Dugu Cheng gave Ye Xi a wink, "The clothes got some poison powder on them, but it's nothing."

Ye Xi nodded, bathed and changed into the clothes Yao Qing had sent them. The two of them, dressed in these Yaozu garments, did look rather like members of the Yaozu.

"Master Chen, Elder Yao requests that the two of you attend the Blessing Ceremony."

The maidservant at the gate shouted. Dugu City and Ye Xi looked at each other, tidied up, and walked out, letting the maidservant take them to the Blessing Ceremony. The Blessing Ceremony was held on the square of Yaozu. All the members of Yaozu wore Yaozu's clothing and were dressed up on the square waiting. On the blessing platform, Feng Fu, wearing the holy clothes of the Yaozu master, was carefully dressed up and standing on the stage. There were all the props needed for the blessing ceremony around her, one by one. The elders of Yaozu stood on both sides, and the Yaozu people on both sides beat drums and gongs, creating a very solemn atmosphere.

Dugu Cheng and Yexi were brought to Yao Qing's side. Looking at them arrive, Yao Qing smiled brightly.

The Blessing Ceremony is about to begin, Young Master Chen, please have a seat.

Dugu Cheng sat beside Yao Qing, looking at the Wind Lady on stage. She hadn't noticed him yet, and was still busy with her prayers.

"Elder Yao, where is the Saintess praying for blessings"

Dugu Cheng acted as if he was only pursuing the Holy Maiden. Seeing this, Yao Qing smiled and said, "After the Prayer Ceremony, the Holy Maiden will appear. Young Master Chen, please be patient."

"Elder Yao, how long does the blessing take"

Ye Xi eagerly asked, her expression eager to see the Saintess. Yao Qing looked at them and smiled, "In about an hour, after the Saintess finishes giving blessings, the Lord will announce that he is passing on his position to her. Then the Yao clan members will give their blessings to the Saintess, and afterwards, arrangements will be made for the Saintess's marriage."

"So fast, why didn't you tell me just now I wasn't prepared at all."

Yao Qing looked at his restrained appearance and smiled, “Mr. Chen, you are extraordinary. The Saintess will surely like you, no need to prepare.”

This is clearly planned out, but they're saying it so nicely.

Ye Xi patted the king's shoulder, "Young master, congratulations."

Dugu Cheng had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold and piercing. He wanted to see for himself if this so-called Saintess was really his Xi'er.

Feng Fu turned, her gaze falling on Du Gucheng and Yao Qing. Looking at Du Gucheng and Ye Xi dressed in the Yaozu garments, the coldness at the corner of Feng Fu's lips deepened. She hadn't expected Yao Qing to intercept them, it seemed like today was going to be a fight.

"Elder Yao, why didn't you tell me that Young Master Chen wasn't leaving"

Wind Matriarch walked towards Dugu City and the others, her eyes fixed on the two of them. Dugu City saw that the Matriarch had discovered them and thought to himself how he should talk to her. Just then, Wind Matriarch spoke, "Although these two are my saviors, according to the Yao Clan's rules, non-members of the Yao Clan cannot participate in the Blessing Ceremony. How could Elder Yao have forgotten this"

Yao Qing's smile gradually disappeared from her face. She hurriedly explained, "Your Holiness, please forgive me. Your Holiness arranged for the two of them to live in Fengyuan. I thought Your Holiness was treating them as one of your own, so I let them participate in the Blessing Ceremony. I didn't expect to anger Your Holiness. I beg Your Holiness to forgive me."

"Young Master Chen, you two should rest in my hall first. After the grand ceremony of blessings is over, I will apologize to you both. Ah Si, lead Young Master Chen to the hall for a rest.""Could you please check on Yu Mo for me I have some things to attend to here."Feng Lingxi still couldn't escape the internal struggle, even though Dugu City was dealing with the surrounding turmoil.
