"Xiao Jin, although you are a Gu Master, the Demon Gu King has not appeared in the world for hundreds of years. How can you deal with it? Why don't you wait for Chu'er to come back before we talk about it?"
Consort Jiang increasingly discovered that her daughter-in-law was incredibly capable—skilled in medicine, adept at developing explosives, and now even a Gu master.
Even Consort Jiang didn't know if there was anything in this world that Xiao Jin couldn't do.
Although Consort Jiang was very happy that her daughter-in-law was capable, she also knew that in this world, the greater one's ability, the greater one's responsibility.
Chu'er is capable, but every time the Great Chu is in danger, he is the one who steps up, leaving her at home worrying every day.
Xiao Jin was capable, and even though she was heavily pregnant, she still went to the epidemic area and studied explosives and epidemics day and night. Although Consort Jiang didn't say anything, she saw it all and felt heartache and worry.
But she couldn't stop them. She knew that her son and Xiao Jin were doing everything for the country and its people.
Some people are born to bear the responsibility of protecting peace in the world.
Parents all over the world hope that their children will become successful and outstanding, but at this moment, Consort Jiang wished that Chu'er and Xiao Jin were just ordinary people who could live a peaceful and uneventful life without having to worry about these messy things.
“Mother, Yanchu won’t be back for a while. With what happened to Xiaoyue, we must also be wary of them attacking Da Chu.”
"Even if he can come back, it will take Mo Han a long time to get to the capital, and Xiao Yue can't wait that long," Su Ruojin said.
"But you're heavily pregnant! What pregnant woman has to face such a terrible thing?" Consort Jiang couldn't help but cry. She knew how terrifying the Demon King was just from Xiao Jin's description.
She felt heartache; heartache for her son, heartache for her daughter-in-law, and heartache for her unborn grandson.
Good heavens, why can't they just live their lives in peace and quiet?
She had been living in fear ever since she became pregnant with Chu'er. Finally, Chu'er was cured of the poison, recovered, and got married. She thought she could finally live a peaceful life, but unexpectedly, so many things happened again.
Moreover, each situation was more dangerous than the last, so how could she not be anxious?
Madam Zhao wiped away her tears, "Xiao Jin, isn't your fifth master Xiao Yue? She is your Gu master. How can a master be inferior to his disciple? She should be able to handle it."
“Grandmother, Fifth Master has never actually encountered the Demon Gu King either, and she doesn’t have many more medicinal herbs to deal with it,” Su Ruojin explained patiently.
Madam Zhao hurriedly said, "Then just have someone send the medicinal herbs over."
"Grandmother, Xiaoyue is in danger."
As soon as Xiao Jin said this, Old Madam Zhao understood what she meant.
In fact, Madam Zhao knew that if Xiaoyue hadn't been in danger, and if Xiaojin's fifth master hadn't been at a loss, Xiaojin's master wouldn't have sent this letter knowing that Xiaojin was pregnant.
The master must have known that Xiao Jin would rush to Xiao Yue after receiving the letter, so they must have been helpless.
"But..." Old Madam Zhao wanted to persuade her further, but Su Ruojin gently took the old lady's hand. "Grandmother, you don't want Yuan Hong to get into trouble, do you?"
After speaking, she turned to look at the elders one by one and said gently, "Grandmother, Mother, Mother, I know you care about me and worry about me, but the matter of the Demon King is not only related to Xiaoyue, but also to the Great Chu, and even the entire Nine Provinces."
If it is allowed to spread unchecked, the entire Xiaoyue will soon become the territory of Beili, followed by Yunqi or Dachu, and eventually the entire Nine Provinces will become Beili's territory.
When the time comes, the only fate awaiting the people will be endless slaughter, exploitation, and enslavement; no one will be able to escape it, including ourselves.
Actually, Su Ruojin had some doubts about one aspect of what her fifth master was saying about the past.
Can one person truly control the Demon King completely?
With such a vast land as the Nine Provinces, once the people bitten by the Zi Gu spread like a plague, and they are further and further away from the person who controls them, can they still be controlled?
If the third-generation Pavilion Master had been able to completely control the Demon King, why would so many people in the Nine Provinces have died? For a ruler, too many deaths are not a good thing.
