619 Slap in the Face, Two Gu Meet (1)
This scene stunned everyone. If they weren’t wrong, that little fellow who escaped just now was the holy artifact that the Little Princess subdued, right?
Why did they use the word escape? Because the way it fell, ran, and even bumped into the table leg was really too flustered!
The commoners had never seen the Gu King so flustered…
Wait, that was not an ordinary Gu King, but the holy artifact of Nanzhao! Did something terrible happen? Why was the holy artifact so frightened?
Usually, after a Gu worm recognized its master, it would not easily leave its master. The stronger the Gu worm, the more it was like this. At the level of the King of Ten Thousand Gu, unless its master died or the legendary Gu Venerable took action, it could not force it to give up on its master.
From the looks of it, neither of these situations was true.
The Little Princess was lively and even more dumbfounded than them.
As for the Gu Venerable, the Gu Masters with the highest Gu techniques at the scene were the few Gu Elders from the Gu Hall, right? Among them, the strongest was only sixty-feet.
The Gu Queen fled into the air. Just as it was about to descend the altar, it suddenly turned around to look at the Little Princess.
Actually, this was really just an extremely small insect. Everyone clearly could not see its expression clearly, but for some reason, everyone felt an undisguised disdain and disgust from its paused little figure.
The Little Princess : “…”
Everyone : “…”
Without a doubt, the “holy artifact” had abandoned the Little Princess in public. No one forced it, but it just dumped its master. The way it ditched its master looked like a scumbag.
After a short pause, the commoners began to whisper.
“Why did the holy artifact run away?”
“That’s right. It doesn’t even want its master anymore.”
“How did this happen? Did it suffer a shock?”
“Such a thing happened just after the Princess worshiped the Gu God. In my opinion, this is the Gu God’s decree.”
If being chosen by the holy artifact meant that she had obtained the Gu God’s protection, then being abandoned by the holy artifact also meant that this Princess did not obtain the Gu God’s favor.
Otherwise, why didn’t the holy artifact escape earlier or later? Why did it escape after she paid respects to the Gu God? Wasn’t this enough to explain the problem?
Soon, everyone thought of something else.
The holy artifact had once been stolen. They naively thought that the holy artifact had been forced away by the legendary Gu Venerable, but from the looks of it today, the holy artifact had clearly left the Little Princess by itself!
After all, they had seen it with their own eyes just now. How could this be fake?
“The holy artifact has long hated her. She’s not worthy of being the owner of the holy artifact. She captured it once when it escaped, and now it’s escaped again!”
It was unknown who said this, but his voice was a little loud, so the commoners and the people on the altar all heard it. Everyone’s expressions changed when they looked at Nangong Yan.
Nangong Yan was speechless!
She wanted to say that the holy artifact had not abandoned her! The holy artifact had indeed been stolen. At that time, the holy artifact had not recognized her as its master and was only stored in the storeroom. As long as it was a powerful expert, they could steal it.
But she couldn’t say.
If she did, she would be slapping herself in the mouth. But it was precisely because of her actions that everyone’s guess made her feel even worse than slapping herself.
She would die either way. Nangong Yan was forced into a dilemma.
Of course, Nangong Yan could also say that what abandoned her today was not the holy artifact, but the Gu Queen. From the beginning to the end, she had never been abandoned by the holy artifact. After all, she had never obtained it. However, wasn’t this an additional crime?
She lied to the Emperor and fooled the commoners. It was no less than the scolding of being “abandoned by the holy artifact”.
Nangong Yan felt a sense of helplessness she had never felt before. Telling the truth was equivalent to admitting her sin. If she didn’t tell the truth, she would have to take the blame. She looked at the State Preceptor helplessly, hoping that he could help her at this critical moment.
Of course, the State Preceptor wanted to do this, but his situation was much more difficult than hers.
The commoners were far away and did not see clearly, but he, the Emperor, and the Gu Elders of the Gu Hall watched helplessly as the little thing ran past their feet. What else could that snow-white little worm be but a snow toad?
The holy artifact was also white, but not so white, nor was it so beautiful that it made people want to hold it in their hearts.
The Emperor frowned, not sure if he was seeing things. “What was that just now?”
When the holy artifact was sent over, the Emperor had also glanced at it through the translucent jade bottle. And its appearance wasn’t this.
