She took advantage of the Gu Master’s absence to make her move against Wu Nuan, and now that the Gu Master has emerged early, could it be she has heard some rumor?
Thinking of this, Wu Yunlan felt a tightness in her heart.
Soon she saw the other Saintesses in the middle of the great hall.
It should be said that the competition for the sixteen Saintesses was in full swing, everyone was fighting fiercely both openly and secretly, with several already dead as a result of Gu dueling.
Now only five of the sixteen Saintesses remain.
Of course, only three are kneeling here; she is the fourth, and as for Wu Nuan – having been poisoned with Python Poison, her death is certain without the union with a man, further more, Wu Yunlan’s maid has already gone to finish the job; Wu Nuan must be more than dead by now.
Therefore Wu Yunlan steadied her mind and followed to kneel down.
After a while, Wu Yunlan felt a dark shadow approach in front of her, and as she slightly lifted her head, she saw the Gu Master’s dazzlingly beautiful face.
It is said that each Gu Master lives beyond 120 years, and although this Gu Master looks in her thirties, even her own master has to call her a senior. It is evident that her age is not small.
But a new Saintess competition is held only when a Gu Master’s life is about to end.
Although the Gu Master does not look close to the end of her life at all.
However, Wu Yunlan has been waiting since her teenage years and has now reached middle age; it was not easy to finally hear the Gu Master announce the Saintess competition, no matter what the reason, now that it has started, no one can stop her from ascending to that position.
With that position comes supreme youth and longevity, and Wu Yunlan’s eyes reveal her greed.
The Gu Master of Witch Ancestor Mountain lazily glanced at the four kneeling below and revealed a smile with an ambiguous meaning.
"How is it, out of the sixteen carefully selected Saintesses, now only the four of you remain? How many days has it been?"
It’s been just twenty days since the competition started, and ten more days remain until the last day, yet only a quarter of the Saintess candidates remain. This rapid reduction is indeed touching.
"Although I allow you to fight internally, the principle of the internal strife should still be in Gu dueling. What is this now? Have you all learned the schemes and manipulations of the Imperial Court? Consort with outsiders, you’re quite capable indeed."
Upon hearing this, all the Saintesses prostrated on the ground, and as the Gu Master’s voice fell, Wu Yunlan understood even more clearly that the Gu Master had emerged specifically for her.
She angrily turned to glare at the other Saintesses.
Being so intent on fighting Wu Nuan, she had forgotten that these others were also coveting fiercely.
Perhaps they took the opportunity to complain to the Gu Master!
The Gu Master watched the people below silently without a word, not commenting on the antiques.
At that moment, a cold voice came from the side: "Don’t look at others, it was I who personally went to find the Gu Master."
Hearing this familiar and cold voice, Wu Yunlan startledly lifted her head and saw a familiar girl appear in front of her.
The girl was still the same, with cold eyebrows and eyes, a slender figure, looking as pure and unattainable as the sacred bright moon.
"You..." Wu Yunlan’s eyes widened.
How could Wu Nuan be here?
Was she not suffering from the Python Poison at Reflection Cliff, in agonizing pain?
Wu Yunlan shook her head: "Even if you escaped, it’s impossible to be unscathed from the Python Poison, you... you must have found a man!"
Wu Nuan curved her lips: "Even now, you still refuse to see the truth."
"That’s impossible, absolutely impossible," Wu Yunlan finally revealed panic: "Gu Master, there’s something wrong with Wu Nuan, please investigate clearly!"
Just as Wu Yunlan kowtowed and begged for a thorough investigation, a "clang" sound was heard as a milky white porcelain bottle rolled onto the ground.
