Seeing Tang Youyou's confusion, Su Ran leaned over and whispered in her ear, "The Saint Seal refers to the Phoenix Blood Jade in your hand and that token."
Before Tang Youyou could take out the blood jade, Su Ran continued, "The Saint Seal surely exists. If we present it, the two elders will surely hold a ceremony to welcome the Saintess back and prove her identity!"
In the main hall, the two elders looked at each other. Could this person really have the Saint Seal? After whispering to each other, the chief elder, who seemed amiable, raised his voice and said, "If you have it, then show it to everyone so that we can tell if it's real or fake."
"The Saint Seal is unique in the world. How could it be fake!"
Su Ran was furious. These old villains clearly didn't want the Saintess to return to the clan and were deliberately making things difficult for her. "Saintess, please show the Saint Seal to everyone!"
Tang Youyou also noticed their hostility towards the Saintess. No wonder. The return of the Saintess was definitely not good news for them. All they were worried about was the division of power.
She took out the Phoenix Blood Jade from her sleeve. It had become spotlessly white. Since she got this thing, its color had been extremely strange. At first, it was completely red, but it gradually faded when it came into her hands. Unexpectedly, it had now turned into a milky white that was crystal clear all over. She placed the jade on the token, and the two became one. This was the real Saint Seal.
The Saint Seal in her palm immediately caught everyone's attention. The most surprised were the two elders who had walked up to her. They glanced at each other, then gave her a strange look, and then tried to reach out and touch the jade.
But Tang Youyou quickly took it back. "Hey, two elders, now that the Saint Seal is here, what else do you have to say?"
The chief elder withdrew his hand awkwardly and coughed lightly. "This jade was originally cinnabar red. Why is yours this milky white? I'm afraid it's fake."
Tang Youyou was at a loss for words. She never expected this thing to change color. It was clearly red when it was in other people's hands before. Could it be that there was something special about her that could make the jade change color?
Seeing Tang Youyou speechless, the second elder snorted disdainfully and said to her, "How dare you bring a fake Saint Seal to deceive us! Su Ran, you're really bold! Someone, arrest these two and throw them into the dungeon!"
Before they knew it, two black - clothed men in black cloaks and masks emerged from somewhere and were about to arrest them without saying a word. Tang Youyou dodged and took the opportunity to launch silver needles as hidden weapons, precisely hitting them and making them unable to move.
"You witch!" Seeing this, the second elder drew his silver sword and stabbed at her fiercely, but Su Ran stepped forward to block it. Seeing his disciple act so defiantly, the second elder was furious and used all his strength to subdue Su Ran.
"Su Ran, you're my disciple! Now you're going to oppose me for an unknown and unnamed fake Saintess. I think you've had the heart of rebellion for a long time! I'll clean up the sect today!"
Tang Youyou saw that the chief elder was ignoring the fight in front of him. She thought this person was not simple. But for now, the most important thing was to find a way to change the Saint Seal back to its original state.
If it was because of her special constitution that it had changed, then the most direct way was to try her blood. Thinking of this, she pricked her finger with a silver needle and dropped the blood on the spotlessly white jade.
At first, there was no change. Just when Tang Youyou was disappointed, she saw the blood drop gradually shrink and seep into the jade bit by bit. From one side, the inside of the jade was gradually being dyed red.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou squeezed out a few more drops, and it was clearly visible that the speed of the jade being dyed was getting faster.
In a short while, the blood drops on the surface had been completely swallowed by the jade, and the inside was dyed completely red, which was very different from before. Except for the shape, it was completely unrecognizable that they were the same thing. And the words "Phoenix Blood Jade" that had disappeared before had reappeared.
"The Saint Seal is here! Elders, stop immediately!"
With a loud shout, Tang Youyou stood in the main hall, holding the blood - red jade in her hand. She looked down at the people below with a fierce aura around her. "Second elder, the cinnabar - red Phoenix Blood Jade you mentioned is now in my hand. If I'm not the Saintess, who else in the world could be?"
The people below looked up at her. Before they could say anything, Tang Youyou threw the blood jade down. The chief elder leaped into the air to catch it. After carefully examining it with a cold look, he handed it to the second elder beside him.
The second elder took it doubtfully, and his hands began to tremble. "This... is it really real?"
The chief elder stepped forward first and bowed to the Saintess on the stage. "Welcome the Saintess back to her rightful position!"
At this time, the second elder couldn't believe his eyes. It was milky white just now. How could it change color, and there were the words "Phoenix Blood Jade" on it.
Su Ran also found it strange. The Saint Seal was originally red. How could it turn white on the way and then change back? It was really a strange thing.
But seeing that the chief elder had recognized Tang Youyou as the Saintess, he felt relieved. "Second elder, the Saintess is here. Why don't you bow immediately?"
The second elder looked stunned. Although he didn't want to admit that Tang Youyou was the Saintess, now that there was the Saint Seal as proof, he had no choice but to admit it.
"Welcome the Saintess back to her rightful position!"
For a moment, inside and outside the hall, a vast crowd of maids and servants shouted in unison, "Welcome the Saintess back to her rightful position!"
Standing on a high place, Tang Youyou didn't know why, but she recalled the scene of the queen's grand ceremony that day. Everything had changed. She had actually become the Saintess of the Blood Clan. It was really a earth - shattering change.
"The Saintess has had a hard journey. I've sent people to prepare a place to live and food. Please go and rest, Saintess." The chief elder said.
Along the way, Tang Youyou found that the Blood Clan was not as magnificent as she had imagined. She had thought that the Blood Clan, which was known for its bravery and good deeds in the world, would not be bad, but the reality disappointed her.
Pushing open the door, the scene in front of her was not even as good as the high - end rouge shop in Chang'an City. The decoration could only be described as simple. However, the delicious food on the table added a touch of luxury to the simple decoration.
She was already starving. As soon as she entered the door, she sat down and started to gobble up with her chopsticks. Seeing Su Ran standing aside, she didn't care about the beef in her mouth that she hadn't swallowed yet and said in a slurred voice, "Don't be polite. Sit down and eat."
Su Ran waved his hand and refused. "I'm not hungry."
Seeing this, Tang Youyou ignored him. She couldn't bear the feeling of hunger. After eating and drinking her fill, she lay on the couch to take a nap and told Su Ran to go out.
"Do you have any news about Su Bai?"
Under the cedar tree outside the door, Su Ran was talking to someone. Hearing what he said, his brows gradually furrowed. "I see. You can go."
He composed himself and walked towards the place where the two elders were.
The news of the Saintess's return immediately spread throughout the Blood Clan. Everyone was talking about it privately.
