Chapter 464 Another Conspiracy
Song Qinghuan hooked her lips noncommittally.

That day, she thought about it carefully, and guessed who the person who shot in the dark was.

After coming to Yuheng Island, she seldom interacted with people. If anyone really disliked her, it was because of Ji Ye and Yu Huan, and Yu Luo probably counted as one of them.But that day she observed Yu Luo's expression, and her surprise did not seem to be fake, so her suspicion was ruled out.All that was left was Jiheng, who had lost her candidate for the Holy Maiden because of her arrival.

"She is really bold." Ying Tianshu sighed.

"It's just dangerous. There are so many people covering her, and it's such a day that no mistakes can be tolerated. She also guessed that the elders would not bother to investigate, so she dared to act recklessly. You have to make her take it seriously. She might not have the guts to fight me one-on-one."

"She won't want to repeat the old tricks today, will she?" Ying Tianshu also followed her gaze to the other side, a little worried.

Song Qing looked at him with a smile, "You saved me last time, this time, I have to rely on you."

"Huh?" Ying Tianshu was slightly surprised, but seeing Song Qinghuan's playful expression, she realized that she was joking, and smiled along with her, saying proudly, "It's okay, don't worry."

Song Qinghuan smiled slightly, "How much do you know about this Jiheng?"

Ying Tianshu scratched his head, "You know, I'm not interested in the election of the Holy Maiden, so I didn't deliberately investigate these candidates. All I know is that Jiheng's lineage , is also everyone with high spiritual power. It seems that there have been several candidates for the Holy Maiden and the Holy Son from the predecessors, but it seems that they have not been successfully elected. Maybe they thought they would have a chance this time, but they didn’t expect you to appear suddenly. That’s right. You're holding a grudge."

"Jiheng's lineage, is there any relationship with Elder Ji?"

"Elder Yan's lineage belongs to the branch of the Yan family that cannot be beaten by the main family. Now it has nothing to do with the main family."

Song Qinghuan nodded, replied thoughtfully, and said nothing more.

Soon, a group of people had reached the head of Baibei Bridge, and they were stepping on the soft sea sand. Song Qinghuan lowered his head slightly, with a calm expression, and did not look to the other side.

But at this time, seeing them coming, the commotion crowd on the other side gradually quieted down.

Ying Che walked up to the highest point of the arch of the Baibei Bridge, looked at the dense crowd on the opposite side, and said in a confident manner, "A few days ago, in the election of the Holy Maiden, due to the similar spiritual power of several candidates, Xue Lian could not be selected. Lord, it is decided to reconvene the Holy Maiden Election today, and behind me are the candidates for this Holy Maiden Election."

As he spoke, he introduced the five people one by one.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, a clear and ethereal voice suddenly came from the crowd, "Elder Ying, the reason why Xue Lian failed to choose the leader in the last election of the saint girl was probably because among the five candidates, Is it because of people with unhealthy bloodlines mixed in?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, looking around, looking for the person who spoke.

Soon, everyone's eyes fell on a woman in a yellow shirt in the crowd. What she said just now was what the woman said.

Being watched by everyone like this, the woman in the yellow shirt was not timid, she curled her lips and walked forward.The crowd parted on both sides, and a passage was automatically made for her in the middle.

The woman from Huang Shan walked to the front of the crowd, took two steps forward, looked directly at Ying Che who was in the middle of the Baibei Bridge, and smiled with a calm demeanor and an aggressive voice, "What does Elder Ying think?"

Ying Che's gaze swept across the face of the woman in the yellow shirt, and suddenly became serious. He fixed his eyes on her pretty face, and did not reply immediately.

Hearing her meaningful words, Song Qinghuan looked up.

The woman in the yellow shirt was about the same age as Song Qinghuan, she was wearing a goose-gold silk and begonia-patterned gown gauze dress, she was slim and graceful, with bright eyes and white teeth, she was a beauty like a jasper.

"She is Jiheng?" Song Qinghuan glanced at Ying Tianshu who was stunned, and said lightly.

Ying Tianshu came back to his senses, nodded, and lowered his voice, "What does she want to do?"

"Who knows?" Song Qinghuan raised her eyebrows and said disapprovingly.

"Aren't you nervous?" Ying Tianshu looked at her and asked.

Song Qing smiled happily, "Why should I be nervous? Since the elders dared to let me replace her as the candidate for the holy woman, they must have a reason to convince the crowd. How to explain this to the tribe, I think, should not require me worry."

"Cousin is really open-minded." Before Ying Tianshu could speak, Yu Luo who was at the side heard what she said just now, and continued her words in an incoherent manner.

Song Qinghuan glanced at her, smiling unabated, "Some things are yours, they are yours, and if they are not yours, it's useless to force them."

Yanluo's face turned pale, as if she had thought of something, there was a gloomy look in her eyes, she lowered her eyelashes and stopped talking.

Song Qinghuan looked back and looked forward again, to see how Ying Che would respond.

Ying Che was silent for a moment, then said with a gloomy face, "Miss Ji, what you said is wrong. The position of saintess has always been occupied by the one with the highest spiritual power, and it has been like this for thousands of years. I am a member of the Fulan tribe, so how can I say that my blood is not right?"

Jiheng snorted coldly, and didn't want him to go around in circles anymore, so he simply made the point clear, "The saint, Yunli, escaped from the island privately and violated the clan rules. She should have been deposed from the position of saint, but now her daughter who lives outside comes here. Island, instead of condemning them together, the elders made them one of the candidates for the saintess, what's the reason?"

"The holy girl came out of the island for the sake of the clan's affairs, so why say it privately?" After Yuli returned to the island, there had never been a precedent for punishing the holy girl in the clan, so several elders discussed and decided to make this Leaving aside the matter, she only said that Yuli had adjusted the distribution of shadow pupils on Yunqing Continent in the past few years.

It's just that this hastily come up with an excuse that is not thorough enough, if you really want to pursue it, you will more or less find some flaws.But the clan status of several elders and saintesses is here, even if some people have doubts, they dare not raise it rashly.Today, I don't know why Ji Heng questioned the elder's decision in full view.

Song Qinghuan frowned, looked at the tall and straight Jiheng with narrow eyes, and was also puzzled.

It can be seen that Jiheng is a courageous person.That being the case, even if she is dissatisfied with being removed from the list of candidates for the saint, the matter is a foregone conclusion. It will not do her any good to question her now. Instead, she will quarrel with several elders. What good does it do her if someone living in the clan offends the elders?
Therefore, Song Qinghuan always felt that Ji Heng was playing a bigger game of chess.

Hearing Ying Che's words, Ji Heng smiled coldly again, and said loudly, "Yes or no, how can you convince everyone with Elder Ying's words alone?"

At this time, the whispers in the crowd gradually became louder, and Ji Heng glanced at the people behind him who were about to move, and his eyes flashed with pride.

"I, the five elders of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, jointly manage the affairs of the clan. It is not my opinion alone. If Miss Ji can't trust me, can't she trust the other four elders?" He opened his mouth, "I know that Miss Ji is dissatisfied with being removed from the candidates for the saint, but the saint should be the person with the highest spiritual power in the clan. Miss Ji's spiritual power is not as good as others, so it is only natural to abdicate to let the virtuous. Therefore, they slandered me and the other elders for no reason, and we will never tolerate it."

After all, Ying Che was someone who had experienced major events, so although Ji Heng caught him off guard at first, he quickly calmed down and fought back beautifully.

Sure enough, upon hearing Ying Che's abrupt and stern words, Jiheng's eyes dimmed, and she seemed to shrink back for a moment, but she soon became tough again, still struggling with the point just now, "Even if the saint girl came out of the island for the clan affairs, but the saintess privately combined with foreigners, isn't this a violation of clan rules?"

"We have announced the results of this matter. The saint did violate the family rules, and we did punish her. We think that the punishment of abolishing spiritual power is enough for her."

Spiritual power is the basis for the survival of the Fulan tribe. It can be said that without spiritual power, it is like losing the soul of being a Fulan tribe.Therefore, such a punishment is severe enough for anyone.Therefore, as soon as Ying Che finished speaking, the discussions of the people behind him gradually subsided.

The saint violated the family rules, but she was also severely punished.What's more, during the reign of the Holy Maiden, she did a lot of good deeds that benefited the tribe, so most of the Fulan tribe's balance was in favor of her.Besides, Jiheng's attitude today is indeed a bit of a mess.

Jiheng is a smart person, and when he saw the expressions of the people behind him, he knew the change in their attitudes. He gritted his teeth, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "We only listen to a few elders about the saint's spiritual power being abolished." Just talking, who knows if she has really lost her spiritual power now?"

Hearing this, Song Qinghuan frowned even tighter, and stared at Jiheng suspiciously, as if trying to see something.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her like this, Ying Tianshu was puzzled.It stands to reason that Song Qinghuan could be angry or disdainful when she heard Jiheng's questioning words, but what was the suspicion? Could it be... what was she doubting?
"I feel something is wrong." Song Qinghuan said in a low voice.

"How?" Ying Tianshu asked.

"She looks like she is delaying time." Song Qinghuan's eyes were slightly cold, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Ji Heng's words are really unreasonable at this time, and there is no way to get the so-called "justice" for herself, unless... her original intention is not here, then the only possibility Song Qinghuan can think of is , she dragged them here for some reason.

Suddenly, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and his face suddenly sank.

"What did you think of?" Ying Tianshu didn't take his eyes off her face, and when he saw her expression suddenly changed, he couldn't help but tremble.

Song Qinghuan shook his head, and only took a deep look at Jiheng on the other side, his eyes were surrounded by deep fog.

A bad premonition rose in her heart.

Today's matter, no matter how you look at it, looks like a conspiracy, Ji Heng definitely has other plans.Moreover, she felt that she might have something to do with the theft of the snow lotus that day.

However, how could she have such courage, and how could she have such ability to steal the snow lotus without anyone noticing it in front of the five elders?Or...she actually has a helper?

Thinking like this, my mind sank even more.

At this moment, Ji Shu also seemed to have sensed that something was wrong, walked up to Baibei Bridge, and whispered something in Yingche's ear.

Ying Che's eyes were slightly cold, he looked at Jiheng and said, "Miss Ji can raise reasonable doubts, but she shouldn't be in such an aggressive posture. Whether the saint's spiritual power has really been abolished, you can test it yourself later. But today is the day of the election of the saintess, we have already wasted too much time here, if you keep messing around, don't blame us for doubting your intentions."

Hearing this, Ji Heng's face turned pale, and he bit his lower lip as if he wanted to say something, but seeing Ying Che's stern expression, he finally swallowed what he wanted to say, retreated into the crowd resentfully, and didn't say another word .

When she retreated, Song Qinghuan saw her looking around, and the premonition of uneasiness in her heart became stronger.

Ying Che withdrew his gaze and said loudly, "Please trust us. We never dare to be sloppy when it comes to the election of the saintess, let alone use power for personal gain. Today, we will definitely choose a saintess that everyone is satisfied with!"

Originally, Ji Heng's words were untenable, but Ying Che's words calmed down everyone's uneasy thoughts.

Seeing that everyone gradually stopped discussing, Ying Che secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at the people behind him, "Let's go, go to the temple."

But I didn't want to, just got off the Baibei Bridge, before I walked a few steps, I suddenly heard a deep and loud voice in the air, "The snow lotus has been stolen, how do the elders want to choose a saint?"
