Chapter 1692: Who Did This Provoke?
“Wait for …”
She wanted to spew a few harsh words at the Gu insects, but then she heard a faint sound of footsteps from outside the door.
Startled, she hurriedly closed the box and frantically stuffed it under the pillow, then lifted her head and turned to look at Xuanyuan Zimo, who was pushing the door open and entering.
“What are you coming in for?” she asked, looking very disdainfully at Xuanyuan Zimo.
Xuanyuan Zimo’s gaze swept around the room, then he spoke to Gu Qingyu, “This is also my room.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyu’s eyes dimd. She snorted coldly at Xuanyuan Zimo and then sat on the bed she had chosen, lying down with her back to him.
“I need to rest, you’d better not make any noise,” she warned sternly.
Xuanyuan Zimo sat on his own bed and crossed his legs to ditate.
However, in a place she could not see, Gu Qingyu once again took the box in her hands, opened it, and watched the two Gu insects squirm continuously inside.
…
An Jiuyue had already prepared all the dicinal ingredients she needed.
Just as she was about to check the ingredients once more, Qian Jiyun walked in carrying food.
“Ti to eat? I am indeed a bit hungry,” she said, patting her stomach and chuckling at the man.
“How about we refine dicine tomorrow and take a good rest today?” Qian Jiyun suggested gently as he placed the food on another table and brought over a basin of water for her to wash her hands.
“That works, there’s no rush,” An Jiuyue agreed with his idea, washing her hands and sitting down at the table, pulling Qian Jiyun to sit beside her as well.
“Did you remind Zhan Beiye? Tell him to be careful,” she asked.
“Mhm.”
Qian Jiyun’s gaze paused for a mont, his hesitation apparent, but ultimately, he responded.
“Don’t be mad, I know you would think to just kill him outright. Well, let’s wait for Xiang Qiyan to wake up and make a decision. Let the villain do it,” An Jiuyue said, looking at his serious expression.
Qian Jiyun: “…”
What had Xiang Qiyan done to end up with such a woman?
“I know.”
Since An Jiuyue wanted Xiang Qiyan to do it, he would let him do it. However, he did not understand—what was An Jiuyue plotting?
“Have you discovered sothing?” he asked.
“Cough!”
An Jiuyue coughed lightly.
She hadn’t said anything, how could he know she had discovered anything?
“Previously, Wei Na sensed a type of Gu called the Mother-Child Bonding Gu on Gu Qingyu,” she said.
“On her body?”
As Qian Jiyun asked, he served her so dishes.
“Not on her body; she carries it with her.”
An Jiuyue thought for a mont, corrected herself, and then continued.
“I guess she originally wanted to use it on you, but unfortunately, she never had the chance. Later, she wanted to use it on Zhan Beiye, but again, she was never able to.”
Hearing her words, Qian Jiyun closed his eyes.
“So, are you trying to use that woman to add another force to Xiang Qiyan’s side?”
An Jiuyue propped her chin with one hand, looking at the man with a deep gaze.
“You could say that.”
Qian Jiyun’s head was full of black lines.
He finally understood why An Jiuyue hadn’t responded to Gu Qingyu’s provocations. It didn’t matter to her whether Gu Qingyu lived or died.
But who Gu Qingyu died by was a different matter.
If Gu Qingyu were to be killed by Xiang Qiyan, the King Yan, for offending him, even the Qingyun Sect would have to step out and clean up the ss for Gu Qingyu. And if Xiang Qiyan handled the aftermath well, the Qingyun Sect could beco the best weapon in Xiang Qiyan’s hand.
