Chapter 1704: Chapter 1704: Got it?
“Why do I feel that won’t be the case?” An Jiuyue said. “Only those under the Great Elder in the Qingyun Sect have the skills to refine Gu. If Gu Qingyu had been killed, what would Xiang Qiyan need the forces of the Qingyun Sect for?”
To be forced to serve the very enemy who killed one’s granddaughter, could there be anything more miserable?
Why did he get the feeling that the Great Elder wouldn’t do something so pointless to himself? If he were in that position, he certainly wouldn’t.
“The Great Elder surely can’t just have one granddaughter, can he?” An Jiuyue added, as she covered the pill-refining furnace and continued refining the antidote.
Wei Na: “…”
He had no idea how to retort to that.
But what his master had said was true; compared to a whole family perishing, the death of just one could be considered fortunate, at least it wasn’t a total wipeout.
“I think that Gu looks pretty good, Master. Do you want to keep it?” he asked.
“No.”
An Jiuyue shook her head.
She had no interest in such things.
If she wanted to learn the art of Worm Gu cultivation, she could study it herself. As for taking someone else’s cultivated Gu, she really didn’t need it.
…
In a tiny room, Gu Qingyu was thrown harshly inside by two guards.
Gu Qingyu only felt as if her body had fallen apart, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Hatred flooded her, taking root in every part of her being like a fierce surge.
On her way here, she had seen her fellow disciples pass by.
She had pleaded for their help, but they walked past her as if they hadn’t seen her or heard her cries for help.
One by one, they had clung to her when she was on top, but now that they saw her fall, they were ready to kick her while she was down, weren’t they?
All the same, all eager to revel in her misfortune!
“Just you wait, I will not let any of you off the hook.”
Moving her body, she found a wooden stake to support her back and, after spitting out another mouthful of bloody saliva, she gasped heavily for air.
If they wanted to see her become a laughingstock, she’d turn them all into a joke!
…
“She’s been captured?”
Inside the room, Brother Zhen’s expression chilled when he heard the news from the other disciples.
He had been warning Gu Qingyu to stay in line these past few days, and she had been reasonably well-behaved in front of him, not doing anything too outrageous.
He had just breathed a sigh of relief when she stirred up trouble again.
“For what reason? Those people wouldn’t capture her for no reason. What did she do?” he immediately asked.
“It’s said that, she tried to cast Worm Gu on Lord Yan,” one of the disciples said, swallowing nervously.
That’s why they had done nothing when they saw Gu Qingyu being taken away by the guards; they simply didn’t know what to do.
What they thought was to hurry back and discuss with Brother Zhen, figuring out how they could retrieve Gu Qingyu, the woman who loved to court trouble; her actions were like a death sentence for them all.
“Hisss!”
Two sharp intakes of breath sounded at once.
Brother Zhen was shocked upon hearing this, and just outside the door, Xuanyuan Zimo was about to step inside when she overheard the conversation, and gasped in fright herself.
Gu Qingyu truly seemed to have a death wish, daring to use Gu on King Yan.
“Was she successful?”
She hurriedly stepped inside, asking cautiously.
“Of course not.”
The disciple immediately shook his head. If she had succeeded, who knew whether they would still be alive?
