Chapter 577 Disqualification from the Candidate List
Chapter 577 Disqualification from the Candidate List
Xin Xia was just an unknown maid in the Temple of the Goddess, but she had begun to gain support in some places. The previous battle of the Egyptian pyramids and the recent infectious disease outbreak in Koria, along with the Temple Mother's recommendation, made Xin Xia's popularity in the Parthenon rival that of the other candidate goddesses.
"Now, I don't think anyone has any objections to her being a candidate," the Queen Mother asked rhetorically, then glanced at the members below.
The Great Sage Merora naturally wouldn't acknowledge Ye Xinxia's identity, and directly expressed her dissatisfaction, chuckling as she said, "If one can become a candidate based solely on these achievements, then wouldn't Saintess Ander and the others be able to become goddesses directly?"
"If the people of Egypt and Coria were to lavishly praise her, how could her popularity have increased so much in such a short time? Moreover, if she is not punished for colluding with outsiders to beat up the female servants, what order will our Parthenon Temple have left?"
"Then what does the Great Sage think should be done?" The Queen Mother's voice had turned considerably colder.
"Disqualify her from the candidacy, and send men from the Knights' Hall to arrest the person who assaulted the Guran maid." The Great Sage Merora seemed oblivious to the expression on the Temple Mother's face.
"If you don't want our Parthenon to be in turmoil, you'd better give up the idea of arresting that person," the High Priestess said indifferently, glancing at the clueless Merora.
"What?!" Merola hadn't expected such a response.
"It's best to keep quiet until we've investigated thoroughly. Does anyone else have any objections?" The Temple Mother said, glancing at Saintess Ander and the others.
What objections could they possibly have? Didn't they see that even the Great Sage Merora didn't pursue the matter further?
What kind of magic does Ye Xinxia possess that could win the favor of the Temple Mother? And what is the identity of that young mage who stood up for her? The Temple Mother actually said that the power behind him could cause unrest in the Parthenon Temple. You must know that they are the world's top white magic temple!
Saintess Ander and the others were only jealous of Ye Xinxia, and at the same time, they paid more attention to this goddess candidate from China.
In fact, it wasn't just Saintess Ander and the others who were puzzled; even Xin Xia was curious as to why the Temple Mother favored her so much. Logically speaking, even though she had indeed performed quite well recently and had even completed many tasks that the maids hadn't been able to, it didn't seem like she deserved the Temple Mother's attention so much!
As the matriarch, shouldn't she be more concerned about the candidates and the female sages? Compared to their past achievements, what she has been doing these days is far less significant.
In fact, Xin Xia wasn't particularly enthusiastic about promotions at the Parthenon Temple, unlike the other maids who were completely absorbed in the process. Her main purpose in coming to the Parthenon Temple was to learn healing and mind magic, hoping to help Jiang Han in the future. Therefore, when the temple mistress promoted her one after another, she was not flattered but rather a little uneasy.
As Saintess Ander and Xin Xia left Hou one after another, the Palace Mother looked at the empty hall and murmured, "I don't know if it was right or wrong to put her in the position of candidate."

Jiang Han left Coria and returned to Venice. The battle between the Chinese team and the Spanish team had ended. Mo Fan made a lot of money by placing bets in advance. As soon as he got back, he shouted that he would treat everyone to a party tonight. But when he heard Zhao Manyan's suggestion of where to go, he immediately chickened out.
"Hey, no, Lao Zhao, do you have to be so ruthless? Do you know how hard it is for me to earn money?" Mo Fan said somewhat unhappily.
"Didn't you say you were going to treat us? Isn't this giving you a chance to show off in front of the beauties?" Zhao Manyan said with a wicked smile.
"Ahem," a light cough interrupted the two's banter, and everyone then noticed the mentor Feng Li, Song He and a group of big shots who had entered, as well as Jiang Han, who had disappeared for several days and followed behind them.
"From today onwards, our National Team will receive attention from many countries, so I hope you will be fully prepared to compete for this year's championship," Coach Feng Li said with a serious expression.
"After winning several matches in a row, the opponents we will face next will be stronger, and the systems and strengths of many of you have been exposed. You must be extra careful from now on. Jiang Han, you should also be prepared to play at any time." Song He turned to look at Jiang Han at the end.
"There's no need to be so tense. Our next opponent hasn't qualified yet, so everyone can take this time to rest," Chief Mage Pang Lai said with a smile.
At this moment, the old acquaintance, President Han Ji, suddenly spoke up: "By the way, what exactly are this year's rewards? Haven't they been announced yet? I remember that the rewards for the competition were usually announced before the start of the competition. Why haven't they been announced yet this year?" (End of this chapter)
