Chapter 1165: Chapter 92: Change of the Saintess! Shou Zhe Stirring the Clouds and Raining (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2 Chapter 1165: Chapter 92: Change of the Saintess! Shou Zhe Stirring the Clouds and Raining (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2 But over the decades, under her efforts, the Barbarian Gu Clan’s developnt accelerated, everyone’s life improved, and everything began to thrive. Naturally, people’s perception of her changed.
Moreover, because she was always approachable and did not put on airs, unlike the previous Quasi Sacred Maiden Ya who was haughty, and often taught the children in the tribe useful knowledge, over the years, she had accumulated a high reputation among the ordinary tribal mbers.
Not to ntion anything else, these young girls who ca to help set up the Bamboo Building under the arrangents of the Elder, used to follow Wang Luo Jing here and there when they were younger. A word from Wang Luo Jing might carry more weight than even their own parents.
Although, lately, due to the pressure of the Da Qian army’s encroachnt, so people in the tribe felt uneasy and so began to question Quasi Sacred Maiden Jing’s stance, they still firmly believed that she would not abandon them.
“However, although I firmly believe that Quasi Sacred Maiden Jing will definitely not betray us, my father says that the biggest problem is not who becos the Saintess, but that Da Qian is clearly set on conquering the Southern Frontier and will not easily give up. Our strength is clearly not a match for Da Qian’s, and if a fight breaks out, we will suffer heavy losses and many people will die… Plus, at that ti, Ya might take the opportunity to make trouble again…” The girl said, her brow furrowed with worry.
Seeing her troubled, another girl comforted her, “I don’t quite understand what you’re saying. But I believe that no matter what the problem, Quasi Sacred Maiden Jing will definitely co up with a solution. Didn’t she solve so many difficulties in the past? She will definitely do it this ti too.”
“Can it really be the sa?” the girl gave her a look of disbelief.
“Why think so much about it? That’s for the important figures to worry about. We ordinary folks can’t get involved. Just focus on getting your own tasks right – you’ve stuck the painting on crooked.” Two girls carrying a bamboo basket passed by and, overhearing the conversation, couldn’t help but mutter a comnt.
Inside their bamboo basket were little copper bells, crafted in the shapes of Insect Bells, extrely delicate. These were Insect Bells, used also during celebrations. According to ancient legend, the patterns carved on the Insect Bells could be used to communicate with the ancestors.
As they spoke, one of the girls deftly climbed onto the roof eaves and began hanging the Insect Bells there.
Upon hearing this, the girl who had been sticking the painting hurriedly adjusted the crooked painting, and then retorted, a bit defiantly, “I’m just worried about the future of Quasi Sacred Maiden Jing and our Sacred Gu Clan. Don’t you all worry?”
“Is it your turn to worry?”
The status of won was very high within the Barbarian Gu Clan, and the girls were naturally outspoken and not the type to be trifled with. A few words exchanged, and the two girls squared off against each other.
anwhile, the other girls were busy trying to break up the fight, creating a bit of chaos in the scene.
“Cough cough~~”
As the argunt ensued, suddenly there ca a cough from nearby.
The girls were startled and then realized that an old lady in black clothes had appeared behind them at so unknown point.
The granny wore a beaded cap on her head, gold earrings on her ears, and several gem-studded bracelets on her wrists. In the Barbarian Gu Clan, only a Gu Master of high status would dress like that.
“Granny Aya.”
The young maidens clearly recognized her.
She was the Granny beside the Saintess’s grandmother, a very strong figure and a formidable Grand Gu Master.
Realizing the mistake they had made, they shrank their necks and obediently admitted their fault.
“We’re sorry, Granny Aya, we shouldn’t have argued here, disturbing the Saintess’s grandmother and Quasi Sacred Maiden Jing’s Cultivation. We know we were wrong. We’re so sorry~”
“Alright, go and accept your punishnt~” Granny Aya shook her head and waved her hand to shoo them away.
“Oh~”
The girls could only walk away disheartened.
“These kids~~ sigh~~”
Granny Aya sighed and couldn’t help but turn her head to glance behind at the Bamboo Building.
The Saintess and Quasi Sacred Maiden Jing had been in deep conversation behind closed doors for a long ti; it was uncertain how things were going. This ti, as the Da Qian army pressed close, the life or death of the Sacred Gu Clan hung on the thoughts of these two.
Hopefully, everything would turn out all right~
…
anwhile, within the Bamboo Building where the Saintess resided.
“It’s said that a long, long ti ago, our Sacred Gu Clan was still in a primordial state and did not know how to rear Gu Bugs. We struggled to live each day, surrounded by venomous insects and Fierce Beasts, constantly in fear. Maybe one morning, a husband and children would be dead,” said a woman dressed in luxurious robes, embroidered with various mystical symbols, her voice faintly hoarse as she murmured, “Until one day, the Gu God descended upon these mountains and bestowed our people with the divine gift of rearing Gu Bugs, leaving behind the Sacred Gu ‘Heavenly Silkworm’ and the heritage of the ‘Sacred Gu True thod.'”
“And our people learned how to control and master the Gu Bugs, gaining the ability to hunt Fierce Beasts. Gradually, mbers of the Sacred Gu Clan spread out and occupied a vast territory,” said the woman in elite garb, her voice deeply resonant as though aged, but her face was still without wrinkles, appearing sowhat young. However, from her face down to her neck, she had many mysterious tattoos that gave her an air of mystery and danger.
This was the current Saintess of the Sacred Gu Clan—Saintess Dai.
Lazily lying on her shoulder was a white and plump silkworm about two feet long, its dull eyes half-closed in boredom. This was typical of Gu Bugs, spending most of their ti dormant.
