Chapter 256 Do you two feel guilty for saying this?
Isn't it a series of accidents that led to today's result? She didn't want to get married so early. Not only did she have to maintain her relationship with the Xiao family, but she also had to deal with Xiao Ran and Xiao Zhijue. She was so annoyed. She couldn't tell her two brothers about these things. Nan Xuanwei was afraid that they would deal with each other. If that happened, how could she get along with the Xiao family in the future?
Wei Zhaotang acted quickly and someone soon delivered staff name badges and emblems. Zhao Jingzhou also gave his junior sister a Taoist Association staff name badge. Nan Xuanwei became the only staff member with a dual identity. Wei Zhaotang did not dare to express his opinions.
After all, in terms of relationship, Fairy Weiwei is closer to the Taoist Association.
The next day was the day of the formal selection. Zhao Jingzhou asked his junior sister to go to bed early as he and Lin Mufei still had a lot of things to coordinate.
"I'm not sleepy, I'll help you, Senior Brother Xiaowu has grown up and can help!"
"Well, our Xiaowu is the most sensible and the best." Looking at the energetic and quirky little junior sister, Zhao Jingzhou felt so comforted. Girls are really good, they are considerate and good at coaxing people.
Zhao Junqing, who was ordered around to do work for a long time and was exhausted, said: All this work was in vain, I shouldn't have joined in this fun, it's just asking for trouble!
Nan Xuanwei had already washed up and changed into the staff uniform without being called early in the morning. She pinned the Taoist Association and Special Case Team badges side by side on her chest. Zhao Junqing got the badge of an ordinary volunteer.
Oh! Why is there such a big gap between people?
At 8:38 in the morning, Zhao Jingzhou, as the representative of the organizer, announced the official start of the week-long selection conference. This competition will uphold the principles of fairness and justice to select talents in an unconventional way, promote Taoism to let more people understand metaphysics, and maintain the peace and prosperity of the Yuan Dynasty.
There was warm applause and cheers at the scene. When the sound died down and Zhao Jingzhou was about to say a few more words to get to the point, there was sparse applause behind him: "President Zhao said it very well, but why didn't you invite our hidden family to such a big event? Aren't we qualified to participate!"
A dozen people walked into the venue, led by Nan Xuanqi and Wen Ying Changyue.
Zhao Jingzhou and Lin Mufei's first reaction was to block Nan Xuanwei behind them. Even if Nan Xuanwei was naive, she knew this group of people. At least Nan Xuanqi's arrival must be related to her. She didn't like hiding behind people, so she stepped forward and stood next to Lin Mufei.
"This selection contest is to recruit members for the special case team and to absorb young talents for the Taoist Association. As far as I know, the children of your family never participate in this kind of activities." Lin Mufei said.
"Just because there wasn't one before doesn't mean there won't be one in the future. There are people from our hidden family at the scene. Master Lin and President Zhao won't deny it, right?" Nan Xuanqi glanced at the name tag on his niece. She has several positions at the same time, representing both the Taoist Association and the Special Case Team.
This girl is quite capable, and the more so, the Nan Xuan family cannot let her go. Nan Xuanqi noticed that most of the people in the audience were confused, and Nan Xuanwei's name tag was printed with the fairy Weiwei. It was said that she was very famous in the capital, and her popularity had surpassed many stars.
If the Nanxuan family wants to make a comeback, they are counting on hyping her up.
"Yes, my last name is Nan Xuan, and my given name is Nan Xuan Wei. From now on, I declare that I will officially use the name Nan Xuan Wei. My name is inherited from my grandmother and mother. It has nothing to do with those beasts in human form who changed the family rules without telling my grandmother, causing my mother to go missing and making me an orphan."
Except for a few friends, the rest of the Taoists and the teachers and students of the Taoist College did not know Nan Xuanwei's true identity. There was an uproar on the scene after the news was announced. They did not expect that the poor, helpless little Taoist nun they thought was actually the eldest daughter of a secluded family.
Although people in the Taoist sect do not have much contact with secluded families, they also know some inside information. For example, the previous heads of the Nanxuan family were all women, and their achievements were far higher than Nanxuanqi. After he took over as the temporary head of the family, the Nanxuan family has been silent for a long time and has long lost its previous prestige.
"Nan Xuanwei, don't go too far. A hidden family should also keep up with the times, otherwise it will be easily eliminated by the times. We have no choice but to make changes."
"You came here just to say this?"
"Since your surname is Nanxuan, you must contribute to the family's honor."
"Why? Have you ever raised me for a day or done anything for me? I haven't asked you to give up the position of Patriarch, which is already the biggest concession I've made. Don't push your luck, and don't think of using your status as an elder to pressure me. Otherwise, I will tell you everything you've done and let everyone judge for themselves."
It had been so many years since her mother disappeared, so she couldn't have any evidence. As for what had happened to her, was there any evidence? If not, it would be useless to say more.
"Weiwei, I know you have some misunderstandings about your family. I'm your elder and I won't hold it against you. No matter who was right or wrong about the past, let's just let it go, okay? Come back to the Nanxuan family with me, and I promise that the best resources will be tilted towards you." Nan Xuanqi was very humble.
Fearing that Nan Xuanwei would fall into his trap, Lin Mufei stepped forward and said, "My junior sister is already married. She is now Xiao Shiyu's wife. If you want to take her away, you have to ask Xiao Shiyu if he agrees."
"The Xiao family has not formally come to the Nanxuan family to propose marriage, nor has they offered a betrothal gift. I do not agree to this marriage!"
"You can't represent my biological parents, and you are not qualified to make decisions for me. If you don't want me to get angry in public, leave here immediately!"
"We four secluded families are of the same blood. We will never allow any family members to defect or switch to other sects. This precedent cannot be set." The speaker was Dugu Hao, the head of the Dugu family. "I have already discussed with your uncle that the Dugu family and the Nanxuan family will form an alliance. From now on, you are the daughter-in-law of my Dugu family. This is your fiancé, my eldest son Dugu Changxin."
A man with a face full of arrogance, a face longer than a donkey's, and a skinny face like a straw. Nan Xuanwei propped her chin up and shook her head in disdain. The man couldn't hold back her face: "It's good enough that I don't dislike you because you are a second-hand product, but you are still picky."
"You're disgusted now. Your face is longer than several of mine combined. You're nothing but skin and bones. How can I be confident that I like you? My Xiao Shiyu is rich, handsome, obedient and capable. If you carry his shoes, I'm afraid your dry fingers will hurt my husband's heels."
Lin Mufei leaned over and whispered to Zhao Jingzhou: "Since Xiaowu came down the mountain, his ability to irritate people has improved."
"This child has learned bad things from Xiao Shiyu. Xiaowu used to be so well-behaved and obedient!"
Lin Mufei nodded in agreement. His child Xiaowu used to be a good kid, but was led astray by Xiao Shiyu.
Zhao Junqing who was behind the two of them: Do you two feel guilty for saying this?
