Chapter 275: The Ex-fiancée in the Break-up Upgrade Flow 2
It was a bright spring day with warm sunshine when a quarrel broke out in the usually quiet study room.
I thought my sister's breaking off of the engagement was clear, and my father should consider the candidate to go to the Holy Land, but I didn't expect my father's choice to remain unchanged. Chen Kui clenched his fists and said, "Why should I have to sacrifice unconditionally since I was a child? Obviously, I am the younger sister!"
Father Chen's voice was slightly deep: "Kui'er, you have been healthy since childhood, but Jia'er was born weak. You rode a horse and trampled on flowers in the streets, but Jia'er couldn't even leave the Chen Mansion..."
Chen Kui couldn't bear to hear this and couldn't help but retort: "But is it my fault that she's in poor health?!"
"Our family has been rooted in this land for thousands of years, and has been blessed by the Holy Land for generations. The election of saints every fifty years is inevitable, and no one can escape it, and you cannot escape this fate either..."
Chen's father's words were more like a shackle that Chen Kui could not get rid of throughout her life. Ever since she could remember, she had been reminded of these words over and over again.
She can only escape through so-called fun. She and her friends live in the shadow of the holy land all day long as she does not know when the general election of saints will come.
To the family, the Holy Land is a powerful and inviolable backer; to those who are candidates for the saints, the Holy Land is a hazy and terrifying nightmare that is right before their eyes.
Fate!
What fate?
"My sister doesn't have the protection of an engagement now. She is the eldest daughter in the family and enjoys the family's protection just like me. She should shoulder her responsibilities. The Chen family should not be my burden alone!"
Chen Kui had long been fed up with the fatalism her father always talked about, and resented her father's favoritism towards her sister and his injustice to her!
Father Chen stroked his beard, "You don't need to worry about Jia'er. I will arrange a suitable marriage for her." As long as it is arranged before the people from the Holy Land come, "It is her destiny to be a mistress of the harem and live a stable life; it is your destiny to enter the Holy Land and serve Him."
This is the best way out that your Father can arrange for you.
"If fate is unfair, I will wipe it all out!" Chen Kui said angrily, "Father, just watch!"
Father Chen frowned as he watched her slam the door and leave, and suddenly he hissed in pain. It turned out that he accidentally pulled out a few strands of his beard.
He was not worried that his daughter would be restless. After all, the date of the Saint's election was approaching, and each family should have sent people to guard each exit closely to prevent anyone from escaping.
Moreover, every family has an unspoken agreement not to teach the candidates for sainthood any tricks.
If they enter the Holy Land, these girls will have the opportunity to learn the Holy Land's Dharma. If they don't have this blessing, they are no longer the daughters of the Chen family...
Chen Jia stopped at the edge of the corridor and looked at Chen Kui who was rushing over aggressively, "Kui'er——" she waved.
Chen Kui's eyes were red, and he ran up to her and pushed her hand away, "Humph, it's all your fault!"
"Miss, you are so reckless!" Chen Jia's personal maid Xiaoman hurriedly supported Chen Jia and spoke up for her, "Miss, you are too easy to talk to. Look at how reckless she is. She knows that you are weak, but she still does this..."
Chen Jia stopped her complaints and said, "It's okay. Maybe she was wronged by her father..." Only in front of Chen's father could Chen Kui be humiliated.
Moreover, Chen Jia also guessed why he was defeated.
Late at night, Chen Kui, who had suffered a lot of grievances, finally stopped crying. She squatted in the quiet room alone and took out the spotless glass beads that had been hidden in her clothes for a long time.
That’s right, it was the one that Lu Guanyi returned to her sister. Her sister didn’t ask her for it that day, and Chen Kui forgot to give it to her.
The bead was slightly hot. Looking closely, it seemed as if there was a flowing fire in the pure glass bead, calling her and tempting her.
Chen Kui swallowed the bead as if possessed by a ghost. After a while, she felt a sharp pain and passed out.
Holy land, the top of Tai'a Peak, where nebulae gather.
A man in a green robe looked up at the sky, "Taibai eclipses the Pleiades, and Mars is in the heart."
The hexagram under my feet flickered, "Tails of fire, water of separation, hurry up and prepare..."
As he spoke, a golden rune dissipated into the air, and the two departments that received the order quickly took action.
******
Chen Kui fainted in the room for two days and no one noticed.
Father Chen didn't care about her. As long as she didn't cause trouble outside, he would feel at ease.
What worried him was another thing: someone from the holy land was coming!
Each election of saints was almost always held on a fixed date, but this one was suddenly brought forward so much that he didn't even make any preparations and just went ahead to receive the elders of the holy land.
That’s right, the ones in charge of the saint election this time are actually the elders of the holy land. They used to be guardians, but the people coming now are of a higher level!
Fleeting is not good!
Father Chen sighed. He didn't dare to secretly replace Xingyue in front of the elders at this moment, so he could only let his two daughters run for election together.
When Chen Kui was brought here, he was still wearing the same clothes he had worn two days ago. They were wrinkled, but he looked very energetic.
Father Chen was unhappy and thought she did it on purpose.
"Two elders, these are the two saint candidates from my Chen family who are running for election this time..." Father Chen introduced his two daughters behind him with a smile on his face.
The three elders who came to the Chen Mansion were all wearing dark blue robes with different mysterious patterns painted on them. One only need to look at them for a second to make one dizzy.
The leading elder slowly unfolded a hexagonal star array with both hands, glanced at it casually, and then put it away. "Yes, it matches."
Father Chen was so frightened by this action that he dared not breathe. Fortunately, he did not have time to do anything small. Even the people from Yingxing were dispatched. It seems that the Holy Land attaches great importance to this election!
The third elder of Yingxing, Yu Li, made a hand gesture and unfolded an inconspicuous dim star array between his palms. His voice was cold and hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, "Come here and put your hand on it."
Chen Kui had never seen such a big scene before, and was stunned for a moment, but was pushed forward by Chen's father, "Kui'er, you go first!"
Chen Kui clenched his hands and resisted to move forward. The formation diagram jumped, as if it was impatient with the pulling of the two people, and flew directly in front of Chen Kui.
The originally dim battle formation suddenly burst into flames, which scared Chen Kui. "What's going on?"
Yu Li said regretfully: "Heavenly grade, fire spirit root."
With such aptitude in spiritual roots, if he could practice the methods of the holy land, he would be no less capable than any elder.
Unfortunately, the spiritual roots have awakened.
Spiritual roots and the methods of the holy land cannot coexist, so he announced in a deep voice: "Chen Kui, not selected."
The methods of the holy land are very domineering. As long as there are signs of awakening in the spiritual roots, it is impossible to practice, even if the spiritual roots are later stripped away.
Chen Kui couldn't understand the regret that appeared on the faces of the elders.
She is excited.
I don't have to be selected into the holy land, but I can join the immortal sect legitimately. It's hard to describe how excited I am at this moment!
