Chapter 491 The Price of the New Sacred Gu
"Yueyue, let's talk in private." Qu Wanwan spoke firmly.
"Okay." Xia Yue nodded, signaling to her brother with her eyes not to follow.
Feng Yao still wanted to follow, so Xia Yue could only raise her hand to signal Qin Yeting, who was hiding in the shadows, to come out and stop Feng Yao.
"Wanwan, Wanwan..." Feng Yao called out reluctantly.
"Brother-in-law, if you keep arguing, aren't you afraid of attracting people from the Divine Palace?" Qin Yeting reminded him irritably.
Feng Yao knew he couldn't be willful anymore, so he hardened his heart and shut up.
The scene finally quieted down.
Xia Yue and Qu Wanwan arrived at a corner of the garden.
Xia Yue had spent some time with Qu Wanwan and understood her personality, knowing that she wasn't the type to give up easily.
There must have been a compelling reason why Qu Wanwan broke up with her brother this time.
Xia Yue asked softly, "Did you obtain the Sacred Gu you gave us before at the cost of becoming a Holy Maiden?"
Qu Wanwan chuckled to herself, admitting that her friend was indeed very clever.
They are twins, after all. If Feng Yao had even a third of Xia Yue's intelligence, she might not be so troubled.
However, perhaps Feng Yao had guessed some of it, but he was simply unwilling to let go.
"It's a pity that I heard the Sacred Gu was destroyed, so I couldn't help you," Qu Wanwan replied with some regret.
Xia Yue asked, "Do you know how to remove the Red Bean Gu?"
"I don't know. Only the High Priest knows this, but he promised Anmu that he would not tell anyone how to cure the Red Bean Gu."
The high priest is very stubborn and keeps his word. Even now that Anmu is dead, he won't reveal a single word.
"I see..." Xia Yue looked troubled. She had finally found a clue, but it turned out to be a BOSS-level challenge.
She thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think are the chances of getting an answer from a priest through hypnosis?"
“The priest is the most skilled in Gu magic in the Witch Kingdom. Not to mention his security guards, even if you get close to him, you might be controlled by his Gu magic before he can even start hypnosis.” Qu Wanwan spoke the truth and advised, “Don’t take the risk. If you anger the priest, I can’t protect you either.”
“But I’m already in the Witch Kingdom, I must find a way to break the Red Bean Gu.” Xia Yue’s expression was firm.
Qu Wanwan said, "I will find a way for you. You don't need to do anything and don't cause any trouble."
"I've already troubled you once, and I don't want to trouble you a second time. Besides, you've already paid the price of being a saintess for ten years. Who knows what the next price will be?" Xia Yue was genuinely remorseful.
Qu Wanwan gave up her relationship with Feng Yao for the sake of the Holy Gu, and now she has to make another sacrifice. Xia Yue really can't bear it.
Qu Wanwan pretended to be relaxed and said, "Becoming a saintess was actually my childhood dream. I don't find it troublesome. Before I met Feng Yao, I didn't want to get married and I didn't trust men."
Although we were destined to be apart and didn't end up together, I'm already content with the happy times we shared.
"Wanwan, you've sacrificed so much..." Xia Yue's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes reddened.
Qu Wanwan laughed and said, "This is not a sacrifice, it's a matter of mutual consent. Okay, you help me persuade Feng Yao not to do anything foolish, and leave the rest to me."
After saying that, Qu Wanwan turned and left.
Feng Yao stood not far away and saw that Qu Wanwan was about to leave again. He was anxious and wanted to catch up and say a few more words.
Xia Yue sighed helplessly and said loudly, "Brother, let it go."
"Forget it? How do you mean forget it? If Qin Yeting were the one breaking up with you right now, would you still consider it forgetting?" Feng Yao was furious.
After he finished being angry, he realized that what he was doing was nothing more than a desperate struggle.
It's really impossible for him and Qu Wanwan to be together anymore, just like the sun and the moon, one belongs to the daytime and the other to the nighttime.
If he were to go all out and disregard everything to be with Qu Wanwan.
What about the mother's red bean poison?
What about my sister and brother-in-law, and those bodyguards from the potential Witch Kingdom?
He can't act recklessly.
cannot.
Feng Yao clenched his fists, held back for a long time, and finally said nothing more.
Xia Yue gently patted her brother's back, offering silent comfort.
Qin Yeting looked at the two siblings, his brows furrowing slightly. He was Xia Yue's husband and her pillar of support.
He had to do something to turn the situation around.
-
Now, let's talk about the winding road.
After leaving Xia Yue and the others, Qu Wanwan immediately went to find the High Priest.
She was very nervous and didn't know how to start the conversation.
After all, she had already overdrawn the previous Sacred Gu, and now that she wanted another one, the High Priest might not give it to her.
Even if she gives it to him, he'll ask for all sorts of reasons. How is she supposed to explain that?
“You come to see me, but you don’t say a word. I don’t have mind-reading abilities to guess what you’re thinking.”
If you're not going to tell me, then you should go back now.
Seeing that Qu Wanwan remained silent, the priest waved his hand, signaling her to leave.
Of course Qu Wanwan refused!
She knelt down on the ground with a "plop"!
"Please, Your Excellency, grant me another Sacred Gu. I am willing to pay any price for it!" Qu Wanwan pleaded loudly.
"Oh?" The priest raised an eyebrow. "Is it because of that man again this time?"
Qu Wanwan bit her lip but did not answer.
The priest had already guessed the truth. He sighed and said slowly, "You little girl, you've been talented since you were a child. You're a genius in Gu magic. I never thought you'd fall head over heels for a man. Oh well, oh well."
