"The art of making Gu is cultivated from childhood. You are about sixteen or seventeen years old now. It is impossible for you to learn it now..."
Gu Yangyang didn't know what the so-called "controlling poison" was, but after hearing the contempt and arrogance revealed from time to time in the conversations of several people, she could figure out that it must be an extremely important skill even if she didn't know what it was...
In the Chongzhai, almost everyone has this skill, and this skill is used as the main criterion for judging a person...
And now she has missed the best opportunity to learn...
Thinking of this, Gu Yangyang felt a little disappointed.
She couldn't help but hold Wen Xia's hand tightly, and her slightly pursed lips revealed her nervousness.
The meaning of Chong Lao was very clear. If she couldn't make a Gu, her relationship with Wen Xia would not be recognized by the people of Chong Village...
γ......γ
"What are you thinking about?"
The boy's voice, which sounded careless and even a little funny, rang in her ears.
Gu Yangyang turned her head and saw Wen Xia's smiling eyes.
"Wen Xia..." Although the other party was just a teenager, even younger than her, she felt a sense of security and reliance in him.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Wen Xia said to her, his voice did not subside. When Gu Yangyang heard it, the people standing opposite the two of them also heard it.
Wen Biao was not used to seeing a young boy being so arrogant, and coupled with the punishment, he hated Wen Xia even more. He immediately used the name of Chong Lao to sneer:
βWen Xia, although you are the young master now, without the approval of the elders, you will never be able to become the true valley master!β
"Everyone is doing this for your own good, and Master Chong has great trust in you. Now that you are openly opposing Master Chong, don't you want to give up your status as the young master?"
He deliberately pointed out the opponent's weakness, wanting to see the young man become confused.
Unfortunately, he waited for a long time but did not see any panic on Wen Xia's face.
He kept smiling, and his faint smile made him look calm and confident. In contrast, it seemed that Wen Biao himself had lost the broad-mindedness that an elder should have...
"Uncle really cares about me, but it's a pity... I am already the young master, no matter what, it is not Uncle's turn to worry about me. What's more..."
Having said that, he paused.
The words that came to an abrupt end turned into cold and sharp arrows in his eyes, shooting straight at Wen Heng who was beside Wen Biao!
"Uncle, you should pay more attention to your son!"
He raised his hand and grabbed Wen Heng's neck, then lifted him up with one hand!
The dark pupils stared at Wen Heng coldly, with such cruelty that it almost wanted to peel off his bones alive!
"Look again and I'll dig your eyes out!"
This was the first time he showed a side of himself that was different from his innocent and sunny self in front of Gu Yangyang, but Gu Yangyang didn't feel scared at all, instead she felt safe...
It was because the person who was picked up by Wen Xia by the neck was the owner of that sticky gaze!
"Well......!!!"
The defenseless Wen Heng had his neck strangled so hard that it hurt. The opponent was so strong that it seemed as if he was about to break his neck!
His mouth opened wide, his face turned red and purple, his eyes were wide open, and his two bulging eyeballs seemed about to fall out of their sockets...!
"Wen Xia! How dare you!"
Wen Heng was picked up by the neck, so Wen Biao naturally couldn't just sit there and watch.
He was furious and completely infuriated by Wen Xia's arrogance. He immediately bent his fingers, exerted force with his thumb, and something shot out from the tip of his middle finger, shooting straight towards Wen Xia!
The speed was so fast that Gu Yangyang couldn't see clearly what it was...
She subconsciously shouted, "Be careful!"
After the unclear object fell on Wen Xia, it quickly disappeared...
As if it had life, it penetrated his skin in a moment...
"ah--!!!"
The expected scene of Wen Xia suffering unbearably after being infected by the heart-eating poison did not happen. Instead, the culprit Wen Biao suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream and fell to his knees on the ground...!
He was in so much pain that he almost lost all his sanity, his face was distorted, his neck and forehead quickly turned red, and veins bulged!
He clenched his chest with both hands and rolled on the ground...!
Wen Heng was still being held in Wen Xia's arms, and he didn't look much better than Wen Biao.
The neck was strangled for too long, and his eyes started to roll back. His face turned purple and then slightly black...!
"Young Master, it's time to stop."
Chong Lao spoke indifferently, his voice seemed like some kind of antidote. As soon as the words fell, Wen Biao, who was rolling on the ground, stopped, sweating profusely, his face pale, and gasping for breath...
Wen Heng, who was being strangled by Wen Xia, also broke free from Wen Xia's hand, fell to the ground, coughed violently, and his complexion improved...
Wen Xia looked at the two people who were rescued, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "What does this mean, Master Chong? These two people intended to attack this young master, shouldn't they be killed?"
He stared straight at Chong Lao, with a strong dark color in his eyes.
The series of tests just now were only to force the other party to take action...
Now, he felt the restlessness of the Gu worm in his body, and the answer was about to come out...
Old Chong ignored the murderous intent and hatred in his eyes, and twitched his dry face twice, saying lightly: "Young Master, don't go too far."
"Everything has to be balanced..."
The old man's eyes were dark and it seemed as if something was swimming through his eyeballs...
Gu Yangyang didn't know if she had seen it wrong. She suppressed the shock in her heart, and when she wanted to look more carefully, her eyes were already covered by Wen Xia's hand.
"Wen Xia..." She was puzzled.
"Don't look at it, or you'll have nightmares."
The boy's voice was calm, but Gu Yangyang could hear concern in it.
So she obediently stood there without moving.
Compared to the previous time when the other party didn't let her do anything, didn't let her touch anything... Now Wen Xia seemed to have made up her mind, and was lifting a corner of the cloth, slowly revealing to her what was hidden inside...
Gu Yangyang did not resist this feeling. Perhaps there was something she was afraid of beneath the cloth, but rather than being kept in the dark, she would rather face everything soberly.
Whether it's fear or pain, she will choose this.
