Chapter 63: A nagging feeling part 1
Long Xiao Yu coldly cut off Gui Mei with what seemed to be annoyance, “Things that are of no importance are left unsaid!”
“Of course,” replied Gui Mei respectfully. He obediently stopped trying to say anything more
Long Xiao Yu didn’t clarify what was unimportant, but Gui Mei understood him completely. He knew he mentioned someone that didn’t need to be mentioned.
Only recently had the pair understood what was going on. Other than the Qi
Princess and her secrets who had caught his attention, their master didn’t even want to hear about any other women.
However, the importance was not in the An Ya Princess. It was the Qi Princess’ mood after the An Ya Princess had left.
He had seen everything that the Princess had said and done to the An Ya Princess.
It was very obvious that the Princess had played with her visitors, her moves were quite impressive after all.
Yet when the An Ya Princess had left, the Princess had just stared after her. Her expression had suddenly changed from gleeful to displeased.
However, since his master didn’t want to hear any of it, even if he wanted to say it, he couldn’t. As his subordinates, they couldn’t disobey their master’s orders and assume that he would want to know.
Anything their master ordered was exactly what they would do. This had already turned been engraved in their minds since long time ago..
Both Gui Ying and Gui Mei ceased to speak. They just obediently stood off to the side.
A few moments later, Long Xiao Yu slowly asked, “Didn’t the Gu Poison sect and their sect leader, Leng Nan Zi disappear from the public eye, after he died?”
“That is indeed what the rumours have said. As for if the body of the sect leader had truly disappeared, no one knows. After all, the Gu Poison sect’s power now, is nothing like it was before. They are very weak right now. If they came out to the public now, they will become a target for the rest of the world. They would not be able to survive if they resurfaced, hence for the past few years, they have been in hiding. Also, this subordinate has confirmed that only the Gu Poison sect would be able to take out the Heart Controlling Gu,” answered Gui Ying.
When Gui Ying had discovered that the Heart Controlling Gu was from the Gu
Poison sect, he was also full of disbelief. It was only after several more investigations, did he finally confirm that it was indeed the Gu Poison sect. However, he still found this really strange. The Empress wasn’t as simple as they thought apparently.
The Gu Poison sect was one of the three most powerful sects in the Ming Yue continent. Although they possessed the weakest man power, they were renowned for their Gu and other poisonous objects.
Rumours about the Gu had spread to royal families of all kingdoms, and it had become a tool for many royals in their fight for power. Some Gu took no time at all to take effect, and finished people off without them even noticing.
Their strength grew and grew, and by only allowing certain people to use their Gu, they had once claimed a firm spot as one of the three most powerful sects on the continent.
However, the Gu had been released out to the public, harming innocent commoners and provoking chaos. The land was in terrible condition, and the protests of the commoners filled the road. Everyone was terrified of the Gu. That was their downfall.
They say that corruption was what scared the commoners the most. Little did they know, the Gu’s take over had scared the commoners much more than corruption ever would. The Gu Poison sect was quickly named the dark powers by the commoners.
To stay strong, you must have the people by your side, to ignore them was fatal.
The Gu’s quick spread and its harmful symptoms had become a headache for kings of all kingdoms. They soon came to the agreement to set a taboo for the Gu. No matter who was raising or handling the Gu, once they were caught, they would be executed immediately.
Since the Gu had become a taboo in so many places, the Gu Poison sect, which relied on the Gu for a living, could no longer stand up in the imperial cities.
Without Royal Families to rely on, the Gu Poison sect had lost almost all their strength. The Gu Poison sect’s sect master, Leng Nan Zi, had been pressured by the other two large sects to give up his power. In the end, the sect master had helplessly commited suicide by jumping off a cliff. The people of the Gu Poison sect later hid away from the public after their sect master’s death.
Later, the Gu had never appeared on the Ming Yue Continent again. In the end, the Gu had become a scary creature that existed only in stories and rumours.
“Since the Heart Controlling Gu came from the Gu Poison sect, then they must not have been as simple as we thought,” mused Long Xiao Yu calmly.
His eyes hadn’t opened, and his calm tone gave no emotion away. Like nothing was out of the ordinary at all.
But how could a matter connected to the Gu Poison sect be so simple?
The only reason Long Xiao Yu turned a blind eye to the Empress was because he knew that there were many powers behind her. As long as he didn’t cross the
Empress’ bottom line, he had no need to join the battle.
However, he hadn’t expected the Empress to have connections with a sect that had disappeared off the face of the Earth in hiding.
Since the Empress had dared use such a dangerous creature to hurt people, then she must’ve already prepared for the consequences. If someone really wanted to investigate this matter, it wouldn’t be hard to catch her. If she was exposed, there was no way she would get off without any repercussions..
“Master, this subordinate is a curious. Since normal people would not have noticed the Heart Controlling Gu, then how had the Princess managed to spot the Heart
Controlling Gu? Could it be that the Princess has raised Gu before?” Gui Ying finally asked the question that he had been holding in for days.
Whether or not his Master knew, he was still curious and needed to ask. The question had been killing him for the past few days.
