After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband

Chapter 1191 - 21: Journey to the Southern Border (Part 10)

They all knew that after the Holy Daughter woke up from coughing blood, she went to the prison.But in such a short time, how did the Holy Gu end up in this girl’s body?

The elders found it hard to understand.

However, Qin Han’er didn’t know how to use the Holy Gu, and the Seventh Elder was teaching her. As she learned on the spot, she managed to detoxify the poison in the grandson’s body.

The Seventh Elder was relieved.

But to save his grandson, the Seventh Elder’s use of the Holy Gu caused a huge uproar on Wangu Mountain.

Shouldn’t the Holy Gu be only commanded by the Holy Daughter?

Why could this woman who had just arrived on the mountain also use the Holy Gu to detoxify?

Moreover, her arrival caused the Holy Daughter to cough blood.

The moment the Holy Daughter woke up, she was informed of the Seventh Elder’s unauthorized act of having Qin Han’er detoxify his grandson. Now, the elders were waiting for her to explain why the Holy Gu was in Qin Han’er’s body.

The Holy Daughter almost gritted her teeth to pieces.

The former Holy Daughter left the mountain for love, abandoning Wangu Mountain and the Holy Gu. She had guarded her chastity for Wangu Mountain for over ten years, yet the Holy Gu refused to recognize her as its master and preferred to listen to the offspring of the former Holy Daughter!

To her, this was an extreme humiliation!

In the prison just now, she should have been ruthless and killed her!

Now that things had been exposed, it would not be easy for her to get rid of that offspring.

On Wangu Mountain, the Holy Daughter was the leader, but she was chosen by the nine elders, showing their significant status.

The nine elders gathered to demand an explanation from the Holy Daughter—

Why was the Holy Gu casually given to an outsider?

How did she manage to send the Holy Gu to someone?

Pitifully, the Holy Daughter was only testing, but she couldn’t retrieve the Holy Gu in time, and it ended up being given away.

However, the Holy Gu resisted her and preferred Qin Han’er, who possessed the bloodline of the previous Holy Daughter. Whether she could force the Holy Gu back was uncertain.

The Holy Daughter didn’t want to go, but since this matter had alarmed the nine elders, she couldn’t avoid today’s confrontation and neither could she tomorrow.

The Holy Daughter went to the main hall, where several elders were watching her.

Once she sat down, the Great Elder asked, "Why did the Holy Daughter give the Holy Gu to an outsider?"

The Holy Daughter clenched her fists and said, "As soon as they entered the mountain, the Holy Gu reacted. I was just experimenting."

"Does the Holy Daughter understand the significance of the Holy Gu to our Wangu Mountain? How could one risk the Holy Gu out of mere curiosity?" the Great Elder disapproved.

"Fortunately, they had no ill intentions towards the Holy Gu, or the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

In short, no matter the reason, the Holy Gu should not be used for risky endeavors.

Although the Holy Gu is not so fragile,

it’s too important to Wangu Mountain; it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it’s the lifeblood of the mountain.

The Ninth Elder said, "The Holy Gu can only be commanded by the Holy Daughter. Yet, when this girl entered our Wangu Mountain, she caused the Holy Gu to react and even command it. Could there be a destiny with the Holy Gu?"

Hmm.

The Ninth Elder didn’t want to embarrass the Holy Daughter.

He was actually implying that this girl might be the one truly recognized by the Holy Gu as the Holy Daughter?

Since succeeding as the Holy Daughter, though she rarely used the Holy Gu to save people, she was always exhausted after each use, which all nine elders knew.

Even though Qin Han’er was using the Holy Gu for the first time and learning while using it, she didn’t show much fatigue after saving someone, as though the Holy Gu naturally belonged to her.

Such an anomaly surely needed clarification?

The elders demanded answers, "So what did the Holy Daughter discover from her experiment?"

The Eighth Elder suggested, "The Holy Daughter is weak, let the Holy Gu heal her first."

The elders looked over at the Eighth Elder.

The Eighth Elder, "...."

The Eighth Elder slapped his forehead, "I’m getting old, my memory is failing."

Why is the Holy Daughter weak?

Isn’t it because of the unrest caused by the Holy Gu?

Now wanting the Holy Gu to heal her might result in more harm than healing.

It’s still inappropriate to keep the Holy Gu within an outsider’s body.

The nine elders collectively decided that Qin Han’er should first drive out the Holy Gu.

Qin Han’er was indifferent.

Chu Shun was not pleased, "Do you guys have your logic messed up?"

"The Holy Gu wasn’t something my wife asked for; it was forcibly given by your Holy Daughter."

"Now you’re demanding my wife to drive it out. Is this how you do things?!"

Someone glared at Chu Shun, "This is Wangu Mountain; you can’t behave recklessly here!"

Chu Shun ignored him, looking directly at the elders, "We aren’t unreasonable people."

"If you want my wife to drive out the Holy Gu, I have a condition."

The Eighth Elder inquired, "What condition?"

"We want the method to resolve the Unity Gu," Chu Shun replied.

The nine elders glanced at each other.

They knew of the Unity Gu; it is a rare type of parasite, but Wangu Mountain did have it.

However, the method of Gu Poison they truly didn’t know.

Regarding whether it was recorded in the Gu Poison Resolution Skill, they were unsure.

The Ninth Elder looked at the Holy Daughter, "What does the Holy Daughter think of this matter...?"

The Holy Daughter maintained a detached expression, "I can tell you."

Finally, she agreed.

Qin Han’er breathed a sigh of relief.

She worked hard, using the method taught by the Seventh Elder, to drive the Holy Gu out of her body.

The gold-colored Holy Gu looked so cute to Chu Shun, probably because the color was so regal; after all, only the Emperor could use such a color.

Qin Han’er placed the Holy Gu into the jar, and the maid was about to cover it.

With a swish.

The Holy Gu flew towards Qin Han’er.

In the blink of an eye, it burrowed back into Qin Han’er’s body.

Qin Han’er, "...."

Really.

She was about to cry.

She had finally managed to drive it out.

The Holy Gu voluntarily flying back to Qin Han’er was seen firsthand by the elders.

The Ninth Elder stood up in astonishment.

"This...."

"What is happening here?"

The Eighth Elder looked at him and said, "The Holy Gu probably really likes her."

The Holy Daughter’s expression couldn’t have been worse.

The Holy Gu’s actions were like a slap to her face.

The nine elders exchanged bewildered glances.

They didn’t know what to do.

This was unprecedented; as long as Wangu Mountain had existed, nothing this strange had ever occurred.

How could the Holy Gu prefer a stranger to the Holy Daughter?

This defied all logic.

After the former Holy Daughter left, choosing a new one was all about the Holy Gu.

Now the Holy Gu abandoned the Holy Daughter in favor of Qin Han’er.

The elders were left dumbfounded, unsure whether to let the Holy Gu remain in Qin Han’er’s body or to collectively force it out and send them down the mountain.

The Seventh Elder was the first to speak, "Could she be related to our Wangu Mountain?"

The other elders also suspected this.

They looked at Qin Han’er, who was also at a loss, as her grandfather instructed her not to reveal her identity. Should she speak?

Qin Han’er looked towards Chu Shun.

Chu Shun, "...."

Why was she looking at him?

He couldn’t decide on this.

With so many precedents, as a mere grandson-in-law, could he ignore the grandfather’s instruction?

Even if it needed to be said, it couldn’t be from him.

Chu Shun decisively looked at the Holy Daughter,

directing everyone’s attention towards her, portraying a face of "someone is preventing us from speaking."

Everyone assumed this person was the Holy Daughter.

The elders jointly pressured the Holy Daughter, gritting her teeth in anger, she said, "It’s because she’s the daughter of Qi Xue!"

The elders were stunned.

How could she be the daughter of the former Holy Daughter?!
