Chapter 572: Arrogant
As a member of the elven royal family, the elven elders believed that all elves who were not blessed by the elven forest at birth were not purebred elves, but rather mixed-blood elves.

Even if the other party is the child of two pure-blooded elves, they are still a mixed-blood.

This is called the forest lineage theory.

As for the fact that some elves and other races had offspring and then participated in the birth blessing in the Elf Forest... the Elf Elders regarded this as a provocation and reprimanded the questioner.

Upon discovering that Celia was a 'half-elf', the elven elder's eyes underwent some subtle changes.

She saw that Celia was engrossed in purification, as if she hadn't seen her at all. After thinking for a moment, she decided not to disturb her and quietly left, returning to Elena's side.

"So, are you from the Holy Court?"

“No.” The elven elder shook his head: “It’s half-elf. Only those half-elf who don’t value the forest would go and steal the Holy Court’s spells. These thieves have corrupted the elven race’s morals.”

The elven elder snorted, and Elena's ears twitched. She looked over and said provocatively, "Well, I'm really sorry, but before you took me to live in the royal court, I was always stealing and surviving by stealing. It's an elven racial trait."

The elven elder pretended not to hear Elena's words, looked at the others, and said seriously, "Although that half-elf was helping us purify the filth, and her intentions were good, she used forbidden spells in the Elven Forest without permission. We'll deal with these two matters separately after this is over."

Elena looked over, raising an eyebrow: "What, are you going to arrest her and lock her up in jail?"

The elven elder shook his head: "Of course not. Her actions are beneficial to the Elven Forest. At most, she will only receive a verbal reprimand and be punished by becoming a member of the patrol team to patrol the forest for three years."

"Tsk tsk, what if they refuse?"

"There's only one possibility for her appearing in the Elf Forest: she wants the blessing of adulthood to make up for the birth blessing she didn't receive, and she can't possibly refuse to do so," the Elf Elder said calmly.

Elena didn't say anything more.

Most elves are like this.

She thought for a moment, then looked at the elven elder and said, "Could you bring her over here? I feel like the magical fluctuations she releases are familiar; perhaps I know her."

“You know… wait a minute.” The elven elder suddenly had a flash of inspiration and quickly realized why the 'half-elf' looked somewhat familiar.

“You actually know him,” the elven elder said. “He’s the half-elf we met in the Northern Alliance.”

"Northern Alliance? You mean that Xi after the Mage League ended..." Elena's eyes widened in disbelief.

The elven elder nodded, then frowned slightly as he saw Elena's increasingly excited expression. He said, "That half-elf is casting a purification spell and won't stop anytime soon. If you have any requests, I can go and talk to her. However, given your current status, she might not come to see you."

Elena paused for a moment, then nodded: "Possibly... but I believe she will definitely come to see me! I already promised her that I would take her on a good tour of the Elf Forest."

The elven elder's brow furrowed even deeper.

She nodded. "Okay, I'll go take another look."

After saying that, she flew away.

Not long after, she returned to where Celia was and looked at Celia in front of her.

This time, she didn't conceal her arrival. Any mage who wasn't blind and had some sensitivity to magic could sense her presence. Celia couldn't pretend she couldn't see her this time either, so she opened her eyes, looked at the elven elder before her, tilted her head, and asked, "What is it?"

"Do you remember me, Xi?" The elven elder stared at Xilia.

“Xi?” Celia was taken aback. When did I ever use this name?

After careful recollection, Celia realized that it might have been back in the Northern Alliance when Elena hesitated when calling her name, which led to the mistaken interpretation that it was that name.

She nodded and said casually, "I know, she's Elena's old housekeeper. She's always meddling in everything, and she even wants to control others. She wouldn't let me come to the Elf Forest."

Celia watched her, secretly on guard, ready to let Ross possess her and run away at any moment.

Fortunately, the elven elder had no intention of fighting; he simply watched her coldly.

"It seems you didn't take my words to heart. I did say that half-elf people are not well-liked in the Elf Forest. However, considering how enthusiastic you are in helping the Elf Forest, I can forgive your trespassing."

Celia looked at her: "You don't still want to punish me, do you, after seeing that I helped you?"

The elven elder said calmly, "One thing at a time. The royal court always rewards merit and punishes wrongdoing. Your actions may earn the royal court's gratitude, but only if you don't get close to Elena. Her status is now worlds apart from yours. If you disturb her, you will only make things difficult for her."

Celia pouted: "How do you know she'll be in a difficult position? She and I are very good sisters. When we smuggled ourselves into the human world, we even stole gold coins from nobles together."

The elven elder's expression changed, a flash of killing intent appearing in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

A thought struck Celia.

The elven elder looked at her and sneered, "Do you know what you're saying? Elena is a royal elven being blessed by the gods. Do you think that filthy half-elves like you would do such despicable things and tarnish the reputation of the elven race?"

She unleashed a sixth-tier aura, pressing down on Celia and slamming her to the ground.

However, he quickly withdrew his words, looking at the lowered Celia, and said coldly, "This is a warning. Don't spout things that don't exist. Otherwise, you will not only face a warning, but also the pursuit of the Elven royal family. We will not let those who slander the Elven royal family off lightly."

Celia withdrew her purification spell, letting the pollution surge towards her.

She said somewhat angrily, "I was originally going to help you solve the pollution problem, but since your elven royal family is all this disgusting, then forget it."

The elven elder snorted, "We don't need you. We can handle this ourselves. The filth is not something the Holy Court can deal with. I will forgive you for stealing the Holy Court's purification technique. Leave the Elven Forest and don't ever appear near Elena again."

She paused, then added, "Elena is very kind. Although she didn't want to see you, she specifically told me not to make things difficult for you."

As she spoke, she tossed a bag of gold coins over.

"This is Elena's compensation to you. From now on, you will be two parallel lines that will never intersect. When you go to the royal city, remember not to try to find her at the royal court, or she won't be so easy to talk to next time."

Celia took the bag of gold coins, weighed it in her hand, and estimated that there were at least 100 gold coins inside.

"So extravagant?"
