Chapter 993: Xiaohu’s Divine Effect

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wei Liulang never expected karma to come so quickly.

He had just scammed his biological father, but he was scammed by his biological son.

Wei Xu said gently and kindly to Xiaohu, “Xiaohu, be good. Go play with your brothers. Grandpa will find your chick.”

Wei Liulang wanted to plead, “Don’t go, don’t go! Xiaohu, don’t go!”

Xiaohu tilted his head. “Okay!” He skipped off.

Wei Liulang was in despair.

Was his son so unreliable at the critical moment?

When Wei Qing saw his father’s aggressive stance in the room, he knew that Little Six had caused trouble again.

He originally wanted to plead for Little Six.

After hearing about Little Six’s suicidal move, Wei Qing opened the door and threw a stick to Wei Liulang.

Don’t let Dad do it. Beat yourself to death.

In the end, Wei Liulang was taught a lesson.

Holy Mountain.

The Saintess had just finished applying the medicine and was circulating her energy to treat her injuries.

Emissary Lu suddenly pushed the door open and entered. “Saintess, someone from the palace said that His Majesty has summoned you.”

The Saintess was very surprised.

At this time, His Majesty should have rested long ago. Why did he summon her overnight?

“Got it.” She put on her clothes.

Emissary Lu looked at her worriedly. “Your injuries…”

“It’s fine.”

The Saintess was not like Cheng Qingxue, who had been pampered since she was young. She had suffered a lot on the way to martial arts attainment.

“How’s the mother Gu?” she asked.

Emissary Lu looked troubled. “It’s dead.”

The Saintess frowned. “Looks like the child Gu in Wei Xu’s body has been removed.”

This kind of mother-child dual Gu was mutually reinforcing and restraining. If one Gu died, the other would die not long after.

Emissary Lu asked in confusion, “Is there a powerful Gu Master beside Wei Xu? Or does he know the method to remove the Gu himself? That’s a Gu you personally refined. Even the elders have to spend a lot of effort to neutralize it.”

The Saint shook her head. “The elders never left the Holy Maiden Temple. It’s impossible for them to cure Wei Xu.”

The Saintess vaguely felt that there was a mysterious force behind Wei Xu.

It was this faction that was helping Wei Xu avoid her pursuit.

The Holy Maiden quickly thought of this battle.

The Jade-faced Rakshasa, who had originally wanted to kill Wei Xu, actually fought alongside him this time.

There was also the ordinary-looking archer who appeared out of nowhere.

She could guarantee that no archer in the Southern Border was stronger than him.

But the strangest thing was that girl.

Why did she appear?

What was her relationship with Wei Xu, the archer, and the Jade-faced

Rakshasa?

This was the first time she was in such a passive situation.

The Saintess said coldly, “Send someone to investigate that girl’s background. Is she indeed He Yuying?”

“Yes!” Emissary Lu accepted the order. “Do you want to enter the palace?”

The Saintess said, “Since His Majesty has summoned me, I naturally have to go.”

The Saintes dressed neatly and entered the palace with Emissary Lu.

In the side hall of Chengde Hall, she saw the King of the Southern Wilderness.

Xie Jinnian was also there.

She wasn’t surprised.

Xie Jinnian was the most trusted eunuch of the King of the Southern Wilderness. His status was extraordinary.

“Your Majesty.”

She curtsied.

The King of the Southern Wilderness did not like those pleasantries and went straight to the point. “Did you hide anything from me about Wei Xu?”

The Saintess answered very quickly, almost without thinking.

If not for the fact that Xie Jinnian had already reported it to the King of the Southern Wilderness, the King of the Southern Wilderness would have believed her.

The King of the Wilderness looked at her sharply. “Think about it carefully before answering me.”

“I didn’t hide anything.”

The Saintess replied without hesitation.

A cold glint flashed across the King’s eyes.

Xie Jinnian said, “I saw Wei Xu near a medical center today. He’s a man and hasn’t been purified.”

He did not mention the process.

To the King of the Southern Wilderness, the process was very important.

However, there was no need for that for the Saintess.

He would always know his limits when dealing with everyone.

The Holy Maiden looked at Xie Jinnian in shock.

Xie Jinnian cut off her chance to question him. “I saw it with my own eyes. It’s intact. I guarantee with my head that I didn’t make a mistake. I wonder if the Saintess is also willing to guarantee with her head that she had cleansed Wei

Of course, the Saintess could not guarantee it.

That was unless she could kill Wei Xu before the King of the Southern Wilderness and destroy the evidence.

But that was impossible.

Not to mention whether she could kill Wei Xu or not, even if she could, the King of the Southern Wilderness would still punish her if she failed to hand over Wei Xu.

The King of the Southern Wilderness’ sharp gaze landed on her slightly weak face. “Do you know the consequences of betraying me?”

The Saintess said seriously, “Your Majesty, I have a reason for doing this. Cleansing one’s body more or less affects one’s cultivation. Although relying on medicine can make him stronger than before, he can’t be the strongest. I just want to refine the strongest puppet for Your Majesty!”

The King of the Southern Wilderness asked skeptically, “Then why didn’t you tell me?”

The Saintess met the King of the Southern Wilderness’s scrutiny with a righteous expression. “I didn’t think there’s a need. What His Majesty needs is a powerful puppet, a descendant of Emperor Wu who can be controlled. Wei Xu has all of these.”

The King of the Southern Wilderness said sternly, “I’m asking about just now! I asked you to tell the truth, but you said that you didn’t hide it?”

The Saintess was neither servile nor overbearing as she said, “I didn’t know Your Majesty was referring to this. It’s just a small matter. I didn’t take it to heart.”

The King of the Southern Wilderness said in a low voice, “A small matter? I’m afraid you have some thoughts about Wei Xu.”

The Saintess bowed. “Qingyao wouldn’t dare.”

The King of the Nanjiang said coldly, “I see that you dare! Do you think that just because you’re the Saintess and have the love and respect of the people, you can disregard me?”

The Saintess said, “Qingyao always remembers her priorities as His Majesty’s minister; my role as the Saintess of the Southern Wilderness comes second.”

The King of the Southern Wilderness gave Xie Jinnian a look.

Xie Jinnian understood and turned around to bring a tray over.

There was a glass of wine on the tray.

The King of the Southern Wilderness said to the Saintess, “Drink it and I will believe in your loyalty.”

The Saintess’ eyes trembled. She raised her wine glass and drank it in one gulp!

She put the glass back on the tray and raised her hand to wipe the wine stain from the corner of her mouth.

The King of the Southern Wilderness smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, this is the medicinal wine you asked someone to send to the palace this morning. If there’s a next time, no matter how many reasons you have, the wine in the glass will become poison.”

His Majesty was suspicious of her…

The Saintess lowered her eyes. “Yes.”

The King of the Southern Wilderness waved his hand. “Leave.” The Saintess left.

Xie Jinnian smiled and said, “Jinnian shall send the Saintess off.”

Xie Jinnian sent the Saintess to the entrance of Chengde Hall.

The Saintess stopped in her tracks. “Eunuch Jin, did Qingyao offend you?”

Xie Jinnian smiled. “No.”

The Saintess looked at him. “If it’s about the parrot the previous time, Qingyao will apologize to you.”

Xie Jinnian smiled. “Saintess, you’re being too serious. I can’t accept it.”

He was impenetrable.

The Saintess said nothing more.

After taking two steps, Xie Jinnian stopped her again. “I forgot to ask the Saintess. His Majesty said that the medicinal wine this time tastes different from the last time. Did you change the prescription again?”

The Holy Maiden was puzzled.

This time, she did not change the prescription.

Could it be that the servant had taken the wrong one?

The Saintess asked calmly, “Does His Majesty not like it?”

Xie Jinnian smiled faintly and said, “The medicinal wine from last time is better..”
