Chapter 43: Li Zi is Red(1/2)
At this time, the new priestess' selection assessment will be officially over.
Mr. Xia stood in the middle of the hall again and asked all guests and people from the entire planet to wait for a while, and the final three-person list will be announced soon.
Zhong Lizi's spirit was no longer nervous, and her drunkenness continued to surge, and what followed was...
"Wow!"
Looking at the red-haired girl who kept vomiting at the celadon bowl, the people in the sacrificial hall were in an uproar.
The TV station switched the screen as soon as possible to ensure that the audience in front of the TV did not see this scene, otherwise the food sales on the entire planet would be affected today, and the owner of the night market barbecue stall in the underground block might curse again.
Jiang and Xia hurried over to take care of her, wiped her, and stroked her back to calm her down.
Hua Xi's little face was full of worry. She wanted to go over and help, but she was drunk and could no longer sit firmly. She fell to the ground and began to sleep loudly.
Mo Zhong naturally would not move. Looking at the scene, the corners of his lips curled up again, revealing a smug smile.
She was a little uneasy at first, but now she is still in the venue, among the more than ten girls, Jiang Yuxia, Huaxi, and Zhong Lizi, the overall results should be the best.
Her previous performance was much better than Zhong Lizi. The problem was that in the last assessment, she answered the three definitions of gods incorrectly, if the sacrifice hall is concerned...
Now that Zhong Lizi has made such a big ugly in public, how could the sacrificial hall put her on the last list of three people?
The female officials of the priest family rushed over and cleaned up the mess as quickly as possible. Fortunately, Zhong Lizi's lucky value has always been extremely high, and they all spit it into the celadon bowl. The water from the celadon bowl was used a lot when she washed her face, but it didn't splash outside at all. It was extremely easy to pack it up. As for the smells that should be smelled bad, they disappeared without any trace under the extremely advanced ventilation system of the priest hall.
After Zhong Lizi vomited, she became much better and woke up a lot. She leaned into Jiang and Xia's arms, closed her eyes, as if she was asleep.
Jiang and Xia listened to her breathing frequency and knew that she was pretending to be asleep because she felt embarrassed. She smiled, but she didn't expose her, but just patted her gently.
Not long after, Mr. Xia and more than ten bishops walked out from behind the pillars and made official announcements to the guests who came to watch the ceremony and the people of the entire planet on the camera.
"Based on the results of today's selection and assessment, the ones who decided to enter the last three people were: Jiang and Xia, Huaxi..."
Hearing the announced name, Jiang and Xia helped Zhong Lizi sit firmly and slowly stood up.
Huaxi was gently awakened by a female official with secret medicine, and stood up a little confusedly, with a little crooked body.
Mo Zhong straightened his waist and slightly left the seat cushion, preparing to stand up with the most upright demeanor when he heard the name.
Then she heard the third name, and the smile on the corner of her lips instantly broke.
“…and Zhong Lizi.”
...
...
The biggest cheers tonight erupted from the grassland outside the sacrificial hall.
Countless children in front of the TV ran happier, the hostess drank ale, clinked glasses with each other, and smiled and celebrated the birth of the new history of this planet.
The tables and chairs in the canteen of New Century College were smashed better. The fat principal was excited and then wiping the sweat on his face in fear, and shouted loudly as the director of the affairs department took out all the best ingredients in the canteen warehouse.
The game hall owner looked at the TV light curtain and sucked the cigarette hard, constantly making a sound, unable to speak at all.
The owner of the barbecue stall had been lifted by diners and began to march on the narrow sidewalk.
Mr. Dan drank the small bottle of distilled wine in one go, and his pale face showed uncontrollable joy, and then he lay on the table and fell asleep, completely unaffected by the commotion around him.
This is not the first time a girl in the underground block has participated in the priestess selection, but this is the first time she has entered the formal assessment, entered the third level of the assessment, and finally entered the final three-person list!
This is the first time in countless years that such a thing has happened.
The underground block entered a carnival, and even those who never left the apartment building came to the street and joined the celebratory crowd.
From Minsheng Community to Chaoyang Community to Paradise Community, even the upper-level neighborhoods and even the people on the surface expressed great enthusiasm and congratulations on this.
As for whether Zhong Lizi can become a new priestess, it depends entirely on the priestess' choice, that is, the will of the gods.
Neither everyone nor her could make any efforts, and naturally they would not feel any disappointment because of the results.
It is already a miracle, or even a miracle, that she can get here.
...
...
The female official woke Huaxi up and did not leave. When she heard Zhong Lizi's name, she walked up to her and put the secret medicine on her nose.
Zhong Lizi could no longer pretend to be asleep, so she had to wake up "youyou" and found a sensation in her nose, and couldn't help but sneeze.
At this time, people on the entire planet were watching her, and the TV station could not turn the camera away, so the scene fell into everyone's eyes, and it would probably remain in people's memories for a long time, and even in history.
It was not until this time that she was completely awake, and she said in disbelief, "Is it me?"
"It's you." Jiang and Xia were happier than her.
A panicked and angry voice suddenly sounded in the sacrificial hall: "This is unfair!"
Mo Zhong stood up, looked at Mr. Xia and the dozen bishops, and said pale, "Why is she the last list?"
Mr. Xia said expressionlessly: "The judgment of the assessment results is decided by the sacrificial hall. No one shall raise questions or interfere."
Mo Zhong was just a girl after all, and his emotions were about to collapse at this time, so he couldn't care about so much. He said in a crying voice: "I performed better than her in the first round, and my realm was far better than her in the second round. Even if she was better than me in the third round, why did you choose her? Is it because she comes from an underground block, and you have to take care of the emotions of the people there? Do you have to sacrifice me like this?"
Strangely, the TV station did not do any emergency treatment at this time, and actually broadcast her words to all the TV light screens intact.
The people in the sacrificial hall and the audience in front of the TV gradually calmed down and found that there seemed to be some problems, at least not enough in terms of fairness.
If she didn't think about Zhong Lizi's identity in the underground neighborhood, she did not perform better than Mo Zhong.
"And...and the final identity registration, I know what this is being tested...but...but...but I didn't say anything."
Mo Zhong said in a trembling voice, tears kept flowing on his face, looking extremely aggrieved and pitiful.
Mr. Xia was still expressionless and looked at her quietly.
Everyone wants to know what kind of answer he would give on behalf of the priesthood and the family of priests.
Zhong Lizi was a little nervous, Jiang and Xia held her hand and used a little force, hinting that she didn't have to worry.
“The truth is very simple.”
Mr. Xia looked at Mo Zhong and said calmly: "During the final assessment, she drank more wine than you."
Hearing this answer, the sacrificial hall was extremely quiet, and then there was an uproar.
How could people think that such a ridiculous reason is that the priestess' election really depends on alcohol tolerance?
Then people found that the answer given by Mr. Xia was completely unquestionable. When the wine was delivered to the sacrificial hall, they did not say what they were going to take.
It can be the mind, the ability to control oneself, the manners, or the deep blockade of consciousness after getting drunk, so why can't it be alcohol?
For insurance, Mo Zhong chose the most conservative method and was the first to put down his wine glass.
Zhong Lizi obviously cannot drink alcohol and does not know the method of assessment. As a result, he chose the most radical and risky approach. Isn’t it also an excellent quality?
When people subconsciously looked for reasons for the sacrificial hall and Zhong Lizi, Zhong Lizi himself was stunned and thought that this would be OK.
She never thought in her life that she would beat someone because of... the alcohol tolerance.
"Even so, this is still unfair, because this little girl was drunk at that time and was reciting classics much later than others."
A slightly fat middle-aged man slowly stood up with no expression on his face, and the deep eye sockets were a bit cold.
Many people know him, Mo Zhong's father, the head of this generation of Mo family, who controls the largest interstellar transport company on this planet.
The head of the Mo family looked at Mr. Xia and said coldly: "Since she was drunk at that time and could not wake up to take the assessment, you should disqualify her."
"That's a problem with the process of the sacrificial hall. What does it have to do with Miss Zhong Lizi?
At this moment, another sound rang out.
People followed the sound and found that it was the president of Yuzuru Company, and they were shocked.
Why did the president of Yuzuru Company talk to this girl from the underground neighborhood? He even did not hesitate to fight against the Mo family? You should know that Yuzuru Company is the largest game company on this planet, and its influence is similar to that of the Mo family. In recent years, with the rise of Chairman Yuzuru in the main star politics, he has become faintly above the Mo family, but the other party is the Mo family after all.
The head of the Mo family was also surprised and turned around and stared at the president of Yuzuki Company, as if he wanted to see through what he was thinking.
The Chief Executive sitting in the first row looked at each other, and the other senior officials and the heads of various aristocratic families shook their heads without any notice. Only then did they realize that the Mo family was extremely prepared, and they didn't even know the relationship between Yuzuki Company and the girl named Zhong Lizi, so they would definitely lose.
The development of things was as expected by those real big shots. Mr. Xia continued to say the president of Yuzuki Company: "Yes, this is a problem with the process."
The head of the Mo family suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice: "No matter what the problem is, someone will always give an explanation."
The bishop from Shuoer City said calmly: "Who was responsible for the final recitation of Ms. Zhong Lizi just now?"
A priest walked out with a heavy face and said, "The subordinate was in trouble at that time. Please punish the Bishop."
"I think you have a good attitude, so I'll go to the seminary to think about it for two years." said the bishop.
The seminary is Jiang and Xia’s alma mater. It is located on the third floor of the underground, but the environment is excellent. Moreover, the priests can teach and give lectures quickly. How can they think about it?
After hearing this, who doesn’t know the attitude of the sacrificial hall? The sacrificial hall obviously wants to protect Zhong Li Zi. No matter how great the Mo family is, what can it be?
I don’t know what happened, but Mr. Xia was in a bad mood tonight, and he didn’t even look at his niece Jiang and Xia.
He looked at the head of the Mo family and said blankly, "You either sit down or leave."
At this time, why can the head of the Mo family sit still? He stepped forward and took his daughter's hand and walked out of the sacrificial hall.
A small storm ended here.
Jiang Yuxia, Huaxi and Zhong Lizi, these three girls who entered the final list were introduced to the inner hall by the female official, preparing to take a shower and change clothes, pay homage to the priestess, and wait for the final decision.
To be continued...
