Mu Yun'an knew that the Wen Qian in Wu Xuanye's mouth must be the saint who escaped from southern Xinjiang a hundred years ago, her great-grandfather.
I wonder what kind of entanglement there was between her great-grandfather and Wu Xuanye? Mu Yun'an cheered up and listened quietly to Wu Xuanye's story.
"The Witch Clan and the Saint Clan are separated by a mountain. There is a secret passage in the mountain. After I succeeded the Holy Son, I listened to other people's words and aroused my curiosity. I wanted to see whose blood I drank.
So I ran over secretly through the secret passage, and I saw her on the back hill of Gu Palace. It was March in spring, and she was lying among the flowers and sleeping, as lazy as a cat.
The first thing she said when she saw me was the same as you, asking me if I was a god in the sky?"
Mu Yun'an was stunned for a moment, but he understood the key point of his words: "Did you listen to other people's words? Did someone lure you here on purpose?"
Wu Xuanye chuckled lightly, but did not answer her words, but continued: "She is a very special girl, playful and lively
Life in the mountains is boring, but she always finds fun. Her smile is contagious, making the whole world feel a lot brighter.
I had never seen a girl like her. Later, I often came to see her, in that area of the back mountain.
She would prepare something different for me every time we met, sometimes it was snacks she made by herself, sometimes it was sachets she made by herself.
Gradually, I got used to having her around and looked forward to meeting her every time. But suddenly one day she didn't come to the appointment."
Mu Yun'an was fascinated by what she heard. She blinked and looked at Wu Xuanye, only to find that the emotions in his eyes had fluctuated a bit.
She suddenly became nervous.
Wu Xuanye continued in a calm tone: "I sneaked into the Gu King Palace and found her, and found that she was lying on the bed bloodless. Only then did I know that the Gu King Palace was cultivating the Gu King, and she needed to be nourished with her blood every day.
The wound on her wrist has never healed, but she never complained in front of me, and she never mentioned what was wrong with her status as a saint?
I was standing by her side with mixed feelings in my heart. It was the first time that I doubted the existence of Gu Palace and my existence.
After she woke up, she raised her lips and smiled at me. She said she was just sick and told me not to worry, but I knew she had lost too much blood.
While she was recovering from illness, I often visited her secretly, and because I was proficient in pharmacology, I found some blood-enhancing herbs for her.
Later, when King Gu developed a healthy body, she didn't need to be nourished with blood every day, and her complexion improved a lot. On her birthday, I asked her what she wished for, and she said she wanted to see the sky outside.
That was the first time I heard her say that she wanted to see the sky outside. I thought she didn't really yearn for it, but in fact she just didn't show it.
The Gu Palace is heavily guarded, and she, a girl, cannot get out, but I can, and I wanted to help her realize this wish, so I took her to escape from the Gu Palace."
Mu Yunan was shocked when he heard this. It turned out that the saint had escaped with the help of Wu Xuanye?
She stared at Wu Xuanye's stern face, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. If Wu Xuanye let the saint go voluntarily, he couldn't have such an expression.
Mu Yun'an had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly her eyes widened and she stammered: "She...could she have lied to you?"
Wu Xuanye closed his eyes and laughed to himself: "Yeah, actually she was lying to me from the beginning to the end. She just wanted to win my sympathy and trick me into taking her out of Gu Palace."
Mu Yunan: "..."
She frowned and asked in a low voice: "Is there any misunderstanding here?"
Wu Xuanye's tone suddenly changed: "Misunderstanding?"
He sneered softly: "I practiced the soul-catching technique back then and achieved some success. I relied on this soul-catching technique to lead her out of the Gu Palace.
But this technique was extremely draining on my mind. After I left the Gu Palace, I became mentally exhausted. She asked me to rest for a while and said she was going to find some water, but she never came back.
