Chapter 615 - 615 Give A Taste Of Its Own



615 Give A Taste Of Its Own

It had been a long time since the Helian family had been pushed to the top of rumors. As the well-deserved number one aristocratic family in Nanzhao, it rarely received criticism. However, in the past few days, the spittle of the commoners had almost drowned the Helian family.

Divine General Beiming’s biological brother did not die and even married the Eldest Princess. Not only that, their maidservant even killed an innocent child.

Such bad behavior was simply outrageous.

The commoners were clamoring to chase the Eldest Princess and her family out of Nanzhao.

The State Preceptor Hall naturally received the news.

Nangong Li sat in the State Preceptor’s room. After hearing the disciple’s report, he could not help but smile smugly. “I didn’t expect that Zhang guy to do things so beautifully.”

It was much more beautiful than they had imagined. They originally thought that it would take at least ten to fifteen days to completely fan the flames of the commoners’ anger. Now, it had only been three to five days, but the commoners wished they could rush into the Helian Manor and sweep the Eldest Princess’s family out of Nanzhao.

Nangong Li smiled and said, “State Preceptor is still the smartest to think of such a brilliant plan.”

What Sect Master Zhang did was originally what the disciple of the State Preceptor Hall had instructed. The only difference was that at first, he only planned to put in fifty percent of his strength. Now, he had put in a lot of effort, and the effect was much better than expected.

The State Preceptor frowned.

Nangong Li noticed his expression and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Is the State Preceptor not satisfied?”

The State Preceptor shook his head. “It’s not that I’m not satisfied, but I find it strange.”

“What’s so strange about it?” Nangong Li asked.

“It went too smoothly,” the State Preceptor said thoughtfully. “That group of people didn’t look like they would work so hard at first.”

Nangong Li smiled. “If it doesn’t go well, you blame them for not putting in effort. If it goes well, you think that they have put in too much effort. What’s wrong with putting in effort? That group of people will do anything for money. State Preceptor, don’t tell me you want to tell me that someone is secretly adding fuel to the fire and helping them spread rumors that are disadvantageous to the Helian family and the Eldest Princess.”

This was impossible.

Those who had grudges with the Helian family had been pulled into their camp. Nangong Li was certain that none of his own people had moved. The remaining people who had no enmity with the Helian family would not harm them.

The State Preceptor nodded. “Perhaps I’m thinking too much, but…” He paused at this point.

“But what?” Nangong Li asked.

The State Preceptor frowned and said, “The outside world has already gone crazy. Why hasn’t the Helian family taken action for a long time? It’s fine even if they stand up and clarify the truth.”

Nangong Li snorted coldly. “Will the commoners believe them if they clarify? From the moment the commoners found out that Helian Beiyu married the Eldest Princess, the Helian family lost the hearts of the people. Perhaps they expected this, so they didn’t make a meaningless struggle. They’re waiting for the limelight to pass. Unfortunately, this time, the limelight can’t pass.”

The State Preceptor was far less optimistic than Nangong Li. He had fought with Yan Jiuchao all the way here. He understood that Yan Jiuchao was not as simple as he looked. He was definitely not someone who would wait for death. The Helian family might really wait for the limelight to pass, but Yan Jiuchao would not.

The State Preceptor said, “It’s better to be safe than sorry. It’s better to get someone to investigate the movements of the Helian East Manor.”

That night, Nangong Li asked Asura to bring a spy to the Helian Manor. The powerful defense of the Helian Manor was useless in Asura’s eyes. In the blink of an eye, the spy entered the manor.

The spy was squatting outside Xixia Garden. About fifteen minutes later, Shadow Thirteen came over. He went straight to the old man’s room.

“Grandma,” he greeted.

The old man sat on a chair and looked up at him. “Why are you looking for me so late at night?”

Shadow Thirteen said, “Young Master asked me to come and get the snow toad.”

The old man was puzzled. “The Gu Queen? Why are you suddenly taking this? The medicinal primer hasn’t been gathered yet.”

Shadow Thirteen said, “Young Master isn’t doing this for the medicinal primer. Recently, such a big thing has happened to the Helian family. The commoners are clamoring to chase the Second Madam out. Young Master has thought of a way.”

“What method?” The old man asked curiously.

Shadow Thirteen said unhurriedly, “Wasn’t the holy artifact stolen? Young Master said that the aura of the Gu Queen is closest to the holy artifact. He asked Ah Wei to think of a way to make the Gu Queen acknowledge the Second Madam as her master and announced to the public that the Second Madam had found the holy artifact. In that case, the Second Madam has made a great contribution. The commoners might not chase the Second Madam out anymore.”

The spy listened and immediately reported their conversation to the State Preceptor and Nangong Li after returning to the State Preceptor Hall.

When Nangong Li heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly. “The State Preceptor really guessed it.”

They thought that they had acknowledged their fate, but it turned out that they were waiting here.

After the theft, Nangong Yan had also had designs on the Gu Queen. Unfortunately, the Gu Queen was snatched away by Yan Jiuchao’s people, so the plan was left unsettled.

If Yan Jiuchao succeeded, then the Eldest Princess, who had the “holy artifact”, would definitely not be expelled from Nanzhao. Not only that, but it was very likely that she would be thought to have obtained the protection of the Gu God.

At that time, she would no longer be a jinx.

Nangong Li was glad that he had listened to the State Preceptor and asked someone to investigate such important news.

Nangong Li looked at the State Preceptor and smiled sarcastically. “I would have forgotten if they hadn’t said so. The Gu Queen is in Yan Jiuchao’s hands. Originally, my mother couldn’t snatch what was in their hands. Now that there’s Asura, isn’t a mere Helian Manor as easy as taking something from their pockets?”

When the Gu Queen was in his hands, the person who found the “holy artifact” would be his mother. The position of Queen that she had lost could soon be taken back.

Nangong Li stood up and said, “I’ll get Asura to bring Gu Elder Meng to the Helian Manor now.”

Asura could not recognize the Gu Queen, he needed to bring a Gu Master along. In the entire Queen Manor, there was no Gu Master more powerful than Gu Elder Meng.

“Wait,” the State Preceptor called after him.

“What’s wrong this time?” Nangong Li paused and looked at the State Preceptor in confusion.

The State Preceptor pondered for a moment and frowned. “It’s still going too smoothly. I keep feeling that something’s wrong.”

Nangong Li curled his lips and said, “If Asura takes action, it will naturally go smoothly. Be it the sacrificial soldiers of the Helian Manor or Yan Jiuchao’s secret guards, they’re all just a group of ants in front of Asura. It’s not difficult for Asura to bring spies to avoid their eyes and ears. State Preceptor, there’s no need to worry.”

The State Preceptor shook his head. “I’m not saying that they didn’t discover Asura and the spy. I’m talking about how it was such a coincidence to see them discussing such an important matter.”

Nangong Li smiled. “Does the State Preceptor think that they deliberately set up a conversation to trick us because they discovered that Asura and the spy had come? I’m afraid they won’t be able to discover it with Asura’s skills.”

Asura’s martial arts were powerful, and his qinggong was even stronger. Shadow Thirteen and the others indeed did not sense Asura’s aura, but this was not a coincidence. Shadow Thirteen had acted with Grandma countless times. Even if he was a blind cat, he should have encountered a dead rat.

Seeing that the State Preceptor was still silent, Nangong Li continued, “So what if they set a trap? Would Asura be afraid of them?”

That’s right. Asura was the number one expert in the world. Even if Yan Jiuchao set up an inescapable net in the manor, he could not do anything to Asura.

At this thought, the State Preceptor finally stopped being stubborn.

In the middle of the night, Asura brought Gu Elder Meng into the Helian Manor.

Gu Elder Meng took out a string of Gu beads. Although his Gu technique was impressive, he was not like the State Preceptor and the old man who could directly sense the Gu King’s aura. He still had to rely on the Gu bead to find the Gu worm.

He originally thought that the Gu bead would only light up after approaching the Gu worm, but the moment he walked into the courtyard, the Gu bead lit up in unison!

Gu Elder Meng was slightly stunned. Was the snow toad’s aura so powerful? Before Gu Elder Meng could come back to his senses, Shadow Thirteen came out of the old man’s room with a box.

“Be careful,” the old man instructed. “The Gu Queen is afraid of heat. Remember to put it on the ice. You have to get up at night to change the ice.”

“Got it, Grandma.” Shadow Thirteen agreed and took the brocade box to Yan Jiuchao’s study.

Gu Elder Meng had been staring fixedly at the commotion in the study. After Shadow Thirteen left, Gu Elder Meng asked Asura to bring him into the study and steal the snow toad.

The appearance of the snow toad did not look like a holy artifact. This was also why one had to make it recognize them as its master. Only by hiding it in their body would no one see through the truth.

Gu Elder Meng carefully opened the brocade box. Through the jade container containing the snow toad, he could vaguely see the figure of the Gu Queen.

However, for some reason, the Gu bead in the box suddenly darkened.

Gu Elder Meng frowned strangely. He was clearly closer to the Gu Queen, why did it become dark?

Could it be that… the Gu Queen’s aura was sometimes strong and sometimes weak?
