Chapter 42 – He is Innocent!
“Oh my god, it’s a six-colored Gu worm! You… are you really not a Gu master? Such a precious Gu worm, it’s almost broken through to seven-colored. It’s simply unbelievable!”
As Gu Yu wondered what was wrong with Pa Yinan, she seemed to have finally regained her strength to speak.
At this moment, Pa Yinan, her face full of excitement, spoke with her eyes fixed on the six-colored Gu worm in Gu Yu’s palm, for fear that it would disappear if she looked away for a moment.
Her expression was one of fervent adoration, as if the most pious believer had met the deity they worshipped, wishing they could immediately kneel and perform grand kowtows.
Seeing Pa Yinan’s change, the shrewd Gu Yu immediately knew that the six-colored Gu worm was indeed a very powerful worm.
At the very least, the men in Zhongjia Village who were infested with resentful worms were saved.
“I’m truly sorry, I only heard from an old Gu master before… In the Southern Border, a three-colored Gu worm was already a very powerful Gu worm, with the highest being a five-colored Gu worm. No one had ever seen anything beyond that.”
“Five-colored… No, that’s not right. I once read a book explaining Gu techniques, and it clearly stated that it could become a seven-colored Gu worm.”
Afterward, once Pa Yinan finally returned to normal, what she said immediately caused a doubt in Gu Yu’s heart.
Previously, in Chongmiao Village, Gu Yu had severely tricked the clan elder, confiscating quite a lot of things.
Besides the three-colored Gu worm and the small black stone for detecting spiritual energy, there was also a book describing the Gu worms of the Southern Border.
If it weren’t for this book mentioning the beneficial uses of seven-colored Gu worms, Gu Yu wouldn’t have kept this fat worm for so long; he would have thrown it into the latrine long ago.
However, seeing Pa Yinan’s reaction now, it seemed this worm was very powerful.
But, hearing Pa Yinan’s words now, it seemed that evolving into a seven-colored Gu worm was simply a legend…
“Theoretically, it’s possible, but no one has ever seen a seven-colored Gu worm. Moreover, even if it could become a seven-colored Gu worm, there wouldn’t be enough spiritual energy for the transformation… This is why I was so surprised when I saw the six-colored Gu worm.”
Listening to Pa Yinan’s explanation, Gu Yu nodded in understanding.
If it weren’t for the help of his spatial spring water, this fat worm would still be a three-colored Gu worm and wouldn’t have undergone such rapid changes.
But, was it precisely because this worm knew the miraculous use of the spring water that it insisted on forming a master-servant bond?
“If you don’t mind, can you tell me where you got the six-colored Gu worm? And, are you a Gu master?”
While Gu Yu was secretly pondering the reason for the six-colored Gu worm’s forced bonding, Pa Yinan’s expression became subtly excited as she spoke, clearly very concerned about the six-colored Gu worm.
Of course, if she could kill Gu Yu, the six-colored Gu worm, without a master, could be directly pocketed.
Unfortunately, Pa Yinan knew she was no match for Gu Yu.
A Gu master capable of taming a six-colored Gu worm was, in herself, a powerful Gu master!
“I’m just an ordinary person. This Gu worm was obtained from Chongmiao Village. Originally, the clan elder there wanted to use me as food for the Gu worms, but this fat worm got excited as soon as it saw me and insisted on recognizing me as its master… I didn’t want it to, but this damned worm bit my finger and drew blood when I wasn’t paying attention.”
“You… you’re saying… forced bonding!”
Afterward, what came out of Gu Yu’s mouth clearly shocked Pa Yinan.
However, Gu Yu was merely stating the facts objectively, without adding any embellishments, nor did he have the intention of showing off in front of the young lady.
Regarding the matter of forming a bond with the six-colored Gu worm, Gu Yu truly had no defense at all.
He was the victim!
And when Pa Yinan saw the somewhat disgusted expression on Gu Yu’s face, she was speechless and didn’t know what to say.
Others cried and scrambled to recognize the six-colored Gu worm through blood, and they wouldn’t mind serving the six-colored Gu worm for a lifetime, just hoping to form a good relationship with it.
But Gu Yu was utterly disgusted, and the six-colored Gu worm also showed a kind of submissive affection towards Gu Yu…
Such a precious and powerful Gu worm like the six-colored Gu worm, to actually see it bowing subserviently to a human, completely lacking its confident and powerful aura.
This scene deeply stimulated Pa Yinan’s thoughts, making her feel somewhat dizzy.
Having dealt with Gu worms for so many years, today Pa Yinan’s understanding was completely refreshed.
However, it must be that Gu Yu had some extraordinary qualities, otherwise, the six-colored Gu worm would absolutely not be so cautious and pleasing.
“Probably! At that time, I wanted to crush this worm directly, but because a rather peculiar connection suddenly formed, I couldn’t bring myself to do it, so I spared its life.”
“Besides that, how do you train a six-colored Gu worm? I’ve heard that the more powerful the Gu worm, the harder it is to control, and it can even backfire on its master if you’re not careful.”
Seeing that Gu Yu was “easy to talk to,” Pa Yinan didn’t hesitate and directly voiced her doubts.
If it were any other Gu master, they would remain tight-lipped about such secret techniques for controlling Gu worms, let alone discussing and guiding.
Even though Gu Yu appeared to be an ignorant novice, Pa Yinan didn’t believe it at all!
It must be Gu Yu’s disguise!
Therefore, she wanted to take this opportunity to ask questions and see if it could lead to greater progress for herself.
This was an opportunity!
She had to seize it well.
“Training? Does threatening to throw it into the latrine count?”
“…”
Unfortunately, while Pa Yinan wanted to improve herself diligently, Gu Yu’s side was like a tightly sealed city wall with no gaps at all.
Threatening to throw a Gu worm into a latrine could deter a six-colored Gu worm???
How could she believe that?
It seemed that although Gu Yu looked friendly, he was actually a very indifferent person and wouldn’t casually guide others. She should give up learning.
As Pa Yinan’s heart began to feel disheartened, if Gu Yu knew what she was thinking, he would surely feel extremely wronged.
Because he was not a Gu master.
Nor did he know anything about controlling worms.
It was all because this fat worm had forcibly recognized him as its master; he was innocent!!!
“Since you have a six-colored Gu worm, the men in Zhongjia Village who are infested with resentful worms can be saved! Now, come with me and let’s drive those resentful worms out of the men’s bodies!”
Quickly composing herself, Pa Yinan said to Gu Yu, and then directly set off for the place where the men from Zhongjia Village were, preparing to resolve the matter quickly.
Resentful worms grew very quickly; if they delayed for a few more days, the men who were forced to carry resentful worms would truly not survive!
Because there were no more powerful Gu worms to deter them, the resentful worms would grow wantonly, eventually consuming the people they infested.
