839 The Strongest Saint King (1)
The sky was dark and the wind was strong.
The Saintess disguised herself as a maidservant of the Lan Manor and secretly sneaked into Lan Jiaoâs courtyard. In the end, she realized that Lan Jiao no longer lived in the courtyard. She grabbed a maidservant who was sweeping and said coldly, âWhere did the Master go?â
The maidservant said fearfully, âThe⦠the Master has left.â
âLeft?â The Saintess frowned.
The maidservant said carefully, âYes, she should have returned to the Sikong Manor.â
The Saintess frowned even more tightly. âWhat do you mean? Why did the Master return to the Sikong Manor?â
The maidservant said, âThe Master is married to the Second Young Master of the Sikong family, so she naturally has to return to the Sikong Manor.â
When the Saintess heard this, she understood everything.
Today, her plan to expose that girl had failed. Not only that, but that girl had even forced her mother to hand over the position of the family head.
The Saintess knocked the maidservant unconscious with a palm strike and walked towards the third branchâs original residence. As expected, her mother had already been forced to move back to her former courtyard. The repairs here were no longer as good as before, but compared to the masterâs courtyard, it was still a little pale in comparison, and didnât hold a candle to.
Lan Jiao was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, dejected.
The Saintess entered in a flash.
âWho?â Lan Jiao was shocked.
âItâs me.â The Saintess walked over.
When Lan Jiao saw her daughter, her dim eyes finally lit up. However, she thought of something and suddenly walked to the door. She stuck her head out and looked to the sides. After confirming that no one had discovered her, she closed the door and inserted the latch.
The Saintess could not help but frown slightly when she saw how vigilant she was.
Lan Jiao saw her daughterâs confusion and sighed as she explained, âThe Lan Manor is no longer safe. After all, thereâs Lan Qin and that girlâs spies. Donât come here anymore. If thereâs anything, get someone to bring me news. Iâll look for you.â
The Saintess asked suspiciously, âHow did this happen?â That girl had only returned home for a day, but the situation in the Lan Manor was already so serious?
At the mention of Yu Wan, Lan Jiao had a headache. Lan Jiao held her forehead and sat down on a chair. âI still canât believe everything is true⦠Itâs clearly impossible⦠but it happened in front of me.â
âMother, what are you referring to?â The Saintess asked.
Lan Jiao didnât know where to start.
The Saintess was puzzled. âDid that girl tamper with the Saintess Stone and couldnât verify that sheâs a fake Saintess⦠Or⦠with âSikong Yunâ covering up for her, Mother didnât even have a chance to verify her?â
âNeither.â Lan Jiao shook her head in pain. âThat fake Second Young Master didnât say anything from the beginning to the end. I tested it, and it was done with more than a hundred Saintess Stonesâ¦â
The Saintess pondered and said, âMore than a hundred Saintess Stones? No matter what, we should expose that girl.â
âI think so too, but⦠that girl is a Saintess! A Saintess whoâs even more powerful than you!â Lan Jiao couldnât bear to look back and told the Saintess about the hundred or so Saintess Stones shining together. Thinking of that âterrifyingâ scene, Lan Jiaoâs legs and stomach went weak. âNo one has ever lit up so many Saintess Stones. And theyâre of different colors⦠This means that sheâs at least a purple-clothed Saintess.â
The purple-clothed saintess was the peak of the saintess, but Lan Jiao used these two wordsââat leastâ.
âNo Saintess can do this⦠Even the Purple-clothed Saintess canât⦠She⦠Sheâsâ¦â Lan Jiao closed her eyes, unwilling but unable to say her guess. âSheâs the Saint King!â
Boom!
A bolt of lightning suddenly exploded in the Saintessâs mind!
Saint Kingâ¦
That girl was actually the king of the Sacred Clan?
Thousands of years ago, when the royal family was still insignificant, the two races, Saintess and Sorcerer, unified the world and surpassed all the royal families. If the Saintess was the envoy of the heavens in the eyes of most believers, then the Saint King and the Sorcerer King were the reincarnations of gods.
One was a slave, and the other was a master. They were worlds apart.
No matter how powerful a Saintess was, she was only a maidservant of the Saint King. The Saintess took it upon herself to serve the Saint King. However, the Saint King died earlier. Without the Saint King, the inheritance of the Sacred Clan fell into the hands of the Saintess.
As her bloodline thinned, the Saintessâs realm became much inferior to before. Even so, the Saintess was still the envoy closest to the gods in the eyes of the world.
Of course, the premise of all this was that Saint Kings were already extinct. If the people of the Nether Capital knew that the Saint King had appearedâ¦
The Saintess immediately felt dizzy. She thought that the girl was nothing but a beauty, but she did not expect her to be the Saint King⦠the master of all the saintesses in the world! How could she acknowledge that girl as her master?!
âThatâs not right.â The Saintess suddenly looked up as she thought of something.
