622 Ah Wan, He’s Grandpa
Yu Wan had already stood up from her uncle’s wheelchair, but she was inexplicably pestered by a little worm.
Yu Wan looked down at the little worm hanging on her. Perhaps in the eyes of others, this was a perfect little thing that they wished they could hold in their hands, but in Yu Wan’s eyes, it was a little worm!
Not as cute as my son! And acting cute! Hmph!
“Come down,” Yu Wan said expressionlessly.
No! Not even if I die! Wu wu wu ~
The Gu Queen gripped her even tighter.
The little Gu jumped up, grabbed one of its legs, and smashed it to the ground! The Gu Queen was about to cry from the pain. However, it did not escape. It stood up tenaciously! It climbed onto Yu Wan’s body again and refused to leave.
The little Gu went to throw it again.
Yu Wan said, “Be gentle. Don’t smash it to death. My husband is still waiting for it to detoxify.”
The little Gu sat on Yu Wan’s shoulder angrily with its legs crossed. It crossed its little hands and looked at this flirtatious slut who was clinging to its master with disdain.
Yu Wan was still fighting this little worm, completely unaware that the people at the altar were in an uproar.
Were-were they seeing things? Those- those-those-those… those two little worms were…
The first to find his voice was the least experienced and youngest Gu Elder Song. He was only in his early forties this year and was a Fifty-feet Gu Elder. He was considered talented and intelligent in the Gu Hall, so he could walk a full fifty feet at the age of forty.
He was also once called a genius of Nanzhao, but this title completely shattered in front of the three little Gu Elders.
Gu Elder Meng’s light was also covered by Little Gu Elders. His strength was even higher than the Gu Elders of Nanzhao Gu Hall, but he was also forty. Compared to the three-year-old Little Gu Elder, his talent was not enough.
Gu Elder Song stammered, “Elder-Elder Sun Gu… Is that… the Gu King… or the Gu Queen?”
He originally wanted to say that it was the Gu King and the Gu Queen. However, when he thought about it, he felt that it was impossible. This was like seeing a fierce tiger and a fruit fox lying in the same courtyard in harmony. This was something he would never encounter even if he was beaten to death.
He was only willing to believe that he had recognized one. Who cared what the other one was? In short, he must have recognized wrongly!
Because he was too surprised, his brain was not enough. He had forgotten to think about who this little girl who had been recognized as the master of the Gu King and pestered by the Gu Queen was.
Gu Elder Sun was the oldest and most experienced among them, but like Gu Elder Song, he did not dare to believe what he had seen with his own eyes.
However, disbelief was one thing, and established facts were another. Of course, the first thing he cared about was not the identity of this little girl, but whether the two little things were the real Gu King and Gu Queen.
“State Preceptor, what do you think?” He took a deep breath and looked at the silent State Preceptor.
How could the State Preceptor deliberately remain silent? He was clearly stunned. It would be unreasonable if they could not react to what had happened.
It turned out that the aura he sensed on Yu Wan back then indeed belonged to the holy artifact. However, Yu Wan must have seen through his methods in advance and swapped the hair he took back, causing him to make a mistake in his review.
This girl was as cunning as Yan Jiuchao!
Because this small episode had happened in advance, he could accept Yu Wan having the holy artifact more than others. He clearly understood that the little worms on Yu Wan were the holy artifact and the Gu Queen.
However, there were also things that exceeded his expectations. For example, Yu Wan had subdued the holy artifact. Even when he felt the aura of the holy artifact on Yu Wan for the first time, he only thought that Yu Wan had brought it with her. He did not expect it to acknowledge her as its master.
For some reason, the holy artifact after it recognized Yu Wan as its master was even stronger than the ones he had seen in the early years.
Actually, it was not only the holy artifact. The Gu Queen had also become stronger, so it could emit an aura that was similar to the holy artifact back then.
For example, the original holy artifact was at level five, and the Gu Queen was at level three. But now, the Gu Queen had already reached level five or six, and the holy artifact… was probably more than level ten.
The State Preceptor simply did not understand how all of this happened.
Nangong Yan was even more confused than the State Preceptor.
Back then, she had found the holy artifact of Nanzhao from the Ghost Clan. She did not hesitate to sell her sister to obtain the holy artifact. It could be said that she was the one who had the longest contact with the holy artifact among everyone present. She recognized that little thing at first glance.
It was the holy artifact she had dreamed of!
The little thing flashed out of Yu Wan’s body. After catching the Gu Queen, it sat steadily on Yu Wan’s shoulder. It was not in a hurry to hide in the dark. It just let others size it up openly, as if it was afraid that others would not be able to see its appearance.
This was bad. The holy artifact that she claimed was stolen had appeared on Yu Wan. The “holy artifact” that she claimed was harmed by the Gu Hall also appeared on Yu Wan.
This was the most tragic slap in the face in history. She felt her cheeks burning.
“Ha!” Gu Elder Song, who had finally accepted this fact, laughed with his hands on his hips. “Didn’t you say confidently that the thing that was lost just now was the holy artifact? Everyone, open your eyes and see clearly if it’s a holy artifact or a snow toad!”
Everyone could clearly see that the holy artifact had flashed out of Yu Wan’s body. The little thing that it had caught was the one that had run away! They had been intimidated by Nangong Yan just now because they did not have any evidence. Now, the irrefutable evidence was placed in front of them, Nangong Yan could not quibble.
However, Nangong Yan did not give up. She pointed at Yu Wan’s nose and said, “It’s her! She stole my holy artifact!”
“Ha!” Gu Elder Song slapped his thigh and laughed. “Let’s put aside the theft of the holy artifact for the time being. Explain to us first about you using the Gu Queen to disguise as the holy artifact. You clearly don’t have the holy artifact, but you pretended to have found it. After the matter was exposed, you still refused to admit it and said that our Gu Hall had framed you. In my opinion, you never obtained the holy artifact, right? Even the Gu Queen came from an unknown origin. I really don’t know what dirty methods you used to force the Gu Queen to acknowledge you as its master.”
That’s right!
The Gu Queen buried its head in Yu Wan’s small chest and bit the small handkerchief made of grass aggrievedly.
Nangong Yan’s plan to shift the blame had failed.
The Gu Hall could have stood by and watched, letting Nangong Yan and Yu Wan put on a show. However, Nangong Yan had slandered them. If they did not fight back, did she think their Gu Hall was easy to bully?
Gu Elder Song was furious. Originally, they would never betray the Little Princess, but who knew that she did not take them seriously at all? She even judged a gentleman’s character with her petty heart. She thought that they would collude with the Helian family and actually wanted to deal with them in advance.
Was this still the Princess worthy of their support? Why was she so vicious?
Gu Elder Song said coldly, “To think that you, the Princess of Nanzhao, who claims to be a believer, did such a blasphemous thing at the altar. Even the gods can’t stand your crimes, so you were exposed on the spot! What else do you have to say?”
The commoners cursed!
In Nanzhao, blasphemy was much more serious than deceiving the Emperor. Their faith had been provoked, and this was something that the believers could not accept.
Yu Wan blinked. She seemed to understand, but she didn’t. That Gu Elder said that the Little Princess forced the Gu Queen to acknowledge it as its master? But wasn’t the Gu Queen in Grandma’s room? But just now, she did see the Gu Queen being pulled back from afar by the little Gu.
Yu Wan frowned strangely. “Uncle, are you hiding something from me?”
Helian Beiming cleared his throat. They had indeed hidden it from her, but it was not their fault for keeping her in the dark from the beginning to the end. It was really because if his niece had known that Yan Jiuchao would use his medicinal primer as a bet, she would not have agreed no matter what.
They knew her too well. She valued Yan Jiuchao more than her own life. If the red lingzhi was gone, they could still find it. If the snow toad was lost, there would be no second Gu Queen.
“I…” Nangong Yan was in no mood to care about the conversation between the uncle and nephew. She was speechless by Gu Elder Song.
“Big liar!” A child grabbed the stone on the ground and threw it at Nangong Yan!
A bloody hole appeared in Nangong Yan’s head on the spot. The guard hurriedly walked forward and blocked Nangong Yan behind him. However, the anger of the commoners had already been ignited, and the scene fell into chaos.
“I’m not a liar… I’m not… I… I’m not…” Nangong Yan was frightened. She looked at the Emperor helplessly, hoping that at this critical juncture, he could protect his children like all the loving fathers in the world.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor did not notice her at all. He stared fixedly at Yu Wan at the bottom of the steps.
The moment Yu Wan fell over, his gaze was attracted by her. She was the mother of the three little fellows, and the three little fellows were the little masters of the Helian family. Her status was self-evident.
Her father was Yu Shaoqing, and her mother was—
The Emperor felt himself suddenly nervous.
Helian Beiming held his niece’s hand and said softly, “Ah Wan, come and see your grandfather.”
