Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 487 What kind of divine luck is this?!

She was also arrested five years ago. She is from Meng County. At first, she was said to be a medicinal ingredient, but later the Holy Maiden said she was not qualified and was sent to do odd jobs in the kitchen.

I've heard that this Crimson Blood Gu is extremely precious, and people of low status like them aren't qualified to cultivate it.

She later learned that although the Crimson Blood Gu had the effect of cleansing the marrow and greatly increasing one's power, it was regarded as a treasure by the brothers and sisters in the valley. In order to obtain the opportunity to plant the Gu, they had schemed against each other and framed one another.

But they didn't know that if they planted the Crimson Blood Gu, and if they didn't do their job properly or made the slightest mistake, they would anger the Holy Maiden and be punished, suffering the pain of being bitten by poisonous insects and pierced by a thousand arrows.

She only learned this from Sister Wei, who told her in secret and warned her not to stand out or let anyone see her competence, because being capable would lead to being poisoned by a curse.

So for the past five years, she has stayed quietly in the kitchen and hasn't gone anywhere else.

However, we would often see Sister Wei being punished by the Holy Maiden, being bitten by Gu worms.

She felt very sorry for Nian Yuwei, but she was helpless and could only watch.

Upon hearing the words "Crimson Blood Gu" from Xiao Yuan, Gu Qingyue's eyes flickered. This woman had been infected with the Crimson Blood Gu?

Is this a sign of the poison taking effect?

She had already learned about the effects of the Crimson Blood Gu from the pharmacopoeia; she hadn't realized that being stimulated to activate the Gu poison would be so painful.

What a twisted saintess!!

“Yes, we can only endure it, and—” Nian Yuwei paused, “tell Granny Yu not to go near the Holy Maiden recently. The antidote for the Crimson Blood Gu was completely looted in Songzhou, and the Holy Maiden is furious, cough cough cough—”

After gritting her teeth and saying those words, Nian Yuwei coughed up blood, and then spat out another mouthful.

Granny Yu and Xiao Yuan are the only two people she can confide in in this valley, and also the only two people who would not harm her. As the Holy Maiden's great protector, she is a thorn in the side of many people!

Only they still care about themselves.

Therefore, she desperately tried to protect Xiaoyuan and Grandma Yu's safety.

Seeing her coughing up blood while still trying to protect Xiaoyuan and that old fish woman, Gu Qingyue couldn't help but feel sorry for her. It was truly pitiful!

"Sister Wei------"

Xiao Yuan burst into tears. She couldn't bear to see Nian Yuwei in such a miserable state, and she was still so young, only eleven years old, that she was terrified.

"Go quickly, go quickly, don't worry about me, you guys pretend to be sick, don't... come out recently," he roared, startling Xiao Yuan.

Seeing Nian Yuwei's face contorted in pain, veins bulging and eyes bloodshot, Xiao Yuan's tears flowed even more fiercely.

"Sister Wei, I'll secretly send you out, you should run away quickly," Xiao Yuan couldn't bear it.

Nian Yuwei was unable to speak at this point. Waves of pain washed over her, and she was becoming somewhat delirious.

But he still stared at Xiaoyuan, his hands trembling, and pushed her, urging her to leave quickly.

"Foolish, running away, can't escape..."

Gu Qingyue's lips twitched, and she looked away.

She couldn't take it anymore; she needed to calm down.

It wasn't seeing Wei's pain that made me unable to bear it, but seeing the little girl Xiaoyuan crying so miserably.

Judging from their clothes, they were probably handymen or something similar. From their conversation, Xiao Yuan was likely a kitchen helper, and there was also an old woman named Yu...

Sister Wei? Could it be Nian Yuwei?

Is it really that bad?

After resting for a while, she released her spiritual power and looked around at the male and female guards on the various paths in the valley, especially at the locations they were guarding.

Unfortunately, she couldn't find the saint's house.

It looks like it's quite far away, outside the range of her mental power.

It's alright, we can continue the search once we're inside the valley.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Qingyue lowered her voice and told Mu Yun Chu what she had just seen.

When Mu Yun Chu heard the woman say that the antidote for the Crimson Blood Gu had been looted, she raised an eyebrow, looked at Gu Qing Yue, and smiled.

"The antidote for the Crimson Blood Gu—could it be the bottle that A-Yue got?"

Mu Yun Chu couldn't resist pinching Gu Qing Yue's ear.

Her face was covered by a mask, so I could only pinch her ears; they were soft and cute.

He was truly impressed by Gu Qingyue's incredible luck; what kind of divine luck was this?!

The Wizard's Temple's greatest secret is the Crimson Blood Gu, but this Gu is said to be very difficult to refine, which shows how precious it is.

The antidote for the Crimson Blood Gu must be extremely rare, otherwise it wouldn't be hidden in the most difficult-to-open hidden lock.

But—by a twist of fate, A-Yue has already obtained it!!

Mu Yun Chu felt increasingly lucky; Ah Yue must be a fairy sent from heaven!

Gu Qingyue nodded shyly; she didn't know either!

It's just a casual robbery. With a poke of a long needle, the hidden lock opens, revealing a bottle that looks incredibly mysterious. How could you resist taking it?

She gave Mu Yun Chu a look that seemed to come out of nowhere, and Mu Yun Chu couldn't help but laugh.

The two talked quietly for a while. Gu Qingyue thought of the woman's experience again. It seemed that her miserable situation was related to her robbing of Changsheng Garden in Songzhou City. It was really miserable!

However, she will not feel guilty!

She would rob anything from the Wizard's Temple that she could!

Night had fallen; it was time to move.

With so many people coming this time, how to allocate them is up to Mu Yun Chu and Gu Yuan Ming.

Gu Qingyue said she would only go to see the Holy Maiden.

As for finding the medicinal ingredients, the place to refine the Gu, and how to deal with any Gu worms that might be found, Gu Qingyue briefly explained it to everyone.

"Alright, the situation is really complicated, so don't touch it for now. You can come to me for treatment later, especially the Gu worms, remember that!"

Gu Qingyue held the sword in her hand, her expression serious.

"In an emergency, saving your life is the priority."

Gu Qingyue casually gave a word of advice.

The young men of Moon Shadow Pavilion were used to hearing this, and their expressions remained relatively natural. However, this sentence stunned Dark Wolf and Qin Fang's guards. What did it mean? Was it better to run for your life when in danger?

Looking at everyone's somewhat stunned and incredulous expressions, Gu Qingyue's lips twitched. Well, her words only applied to the Moon Shadow Pavilion's creed; others had different beliefs, so there was no need to force them.

"Let's listen to Young Master Ye!" Mu Yun Chu said when she saw everyone looking at each other in confusion.

"Yes".

With their tasks well divided, the groups quickly disappeared into the night, including Xiao Nian, who flew off after Yue Ling and Feng Shuyan.

Only Gu Qingyue and Mu Yun Chu remained standing there.

"Shall we go directly to the Holy Maiden?" Mu Yun Chu looked at the scattered lights in the valley, her gaze deep and unfathomable.

"Well, let's go in first. But let's meet that woman from this afternoon first; we might get something unexpected," Gu Qingyue said, a smile playing on her lips.

She had already decided that afternoon to go and meet the woman named 'Wei'.

The two of them arrived at the woman's courtyard without much effort.

As for the patrols and guards on the outskirts of the valley?

Naturally, they were knocked down by Gu Qingyue's powerful sedative, along with Mu Dong, Yue Ling, and Yu Mo. They specially arranged for people to deal with these people.
