Chapter 50: The Best in the World~
“Bloodline power?”
When Gu Yu heard that Pa Yinan knew about the cave, he was already certain that she had quite a few secrets.
However, since the other party brought it up directly, it seemed they wouldn’t have to spend much effort.
But Gu Yu was a bit curious about bloodline power. Was Pa Yinan’s blood green???
“This is just a metaphor for our family, to prove that we are different from ordinary people… Guarding Wancong Valley is our family’s inherited mission. We must choose an excellent guardian. If the guardian dies, another guardian will be chosen!”
Pa Yinan could hear the curiosity in Gu Yu’s words. In order to get a glimpse inside the cave, she had no choice but to reveal her family’s secret.
For some reason, Pa Yinan felt that Gu Yu had the ability to open that bronze door…
Pa Yinan’s family was not mysterious, but the chance of having a Gu master within the clan was astonishingly high. Unfortunately, the conditions in the Southern Border were harsh, and some of the younger generation had gone out to explore.
It was also because Pa Yinan had secured the position of guardian that everyone else knew they had no hope, so they might as well go out and explore, marry several women, have a brood of children, and then compete for the position of guardian.
No matter what, Pa Yinan would die before their children, and she couldn’t be the guardian forever.
The guardian position, favored by many, naturally had its own advantages. Not only could one freely subdue powerful Gu insects in Wancong Valley, but one could also receive teachings from the clan’s secret Gu scripture and master more powerful Gu techniques.
For those who practiced Gu techniques, this was simply a delicious piece of cake, making them unable to stop, like moths drawn to a flame.
Unfortunately, there was only one guardian position. Each selection required a ten-year-old child to be sent into the sacrificial cave. Whoever came out alive would be the new guardian.
And when a guardian was already in place, there was no need to send more children inside…
“So, you are very familiar with the situation inside the cave? How can you guarantee that we won’t encounter danger when we enter the cave?”
Gu Yu was only curious about the bloodline power. Seeing that Pa Yinan didn’t want to say more, he didn’t continue to ask and instead inquired carefully about entering the cave later.
If she didn’t want to say, Gu Yu was too lazy to ask.
It was more important to solve the problem quickly and then return to the capital to live comfortably.
However, if it were Gu Qingheng, he would probably have pestered them endlessly.
“I have received the inheritance of the guardian since I was young and have half the authority over the cave. It is not a problem at all to bring a few people in.”
After Pa Yinan gave her assurance, Gu Yu no longer hesitated and prepared to take Pa Yinan into the cave together.
Now that the Witch Priest’s subordinates were hiding in the dark, it was not easy to lure them out. However, if they entered the cave, it would be different.
Whether the Witch Priest’s subordinates wanted to kill Gu Yu and the others, or Gu Yu wanted to lure them into a trap, the cave was a very good place.
“I can take you into the cave with me, but they are useless and will only be a burden.”
After quickly making a decision, Gu Yu glanced at Ge Ge and Zhou Yi and directly stated his judgment.
If these two had the ability, Gu Yu wouldn’t mind bringing them along, but just looking at a coward and a fool, it was obvious they had ‘burden’ clearly marked on their foreheads.
“Ge Ge is my man, and I cannot leave him in Zhongjia Village because I am not sure if those mysterious men in black have left. If Ge Ge is used as a bargaining chip, no matter how powerful Lord Gu is, I will unconditionally agree to any of their requests.”
When she heard the word ‘burden’, Pa Yinan’s expression did not change at all. She clearly knew Ge Ge’s capabilities but completely refused to leave him behind.
She had finally reunited with Ge Ge and absolutely could not risk losing him.
Therefore, Pa Yinan’s words were firm, and she did not agree to leave Ge Ge behind.
Hearing his shrew’s words, Ge Ge was quite touched, knowing that his wife cared about him.
“You’re right, let’s go!”
Gu Yu listened to what Pa Yinan said and didn’t immediately change his expression. He just turned his head to look at Ge Ge and Zhou Yi, a slightly sinister smile appearing on his face.
He didn’t say anything else afterward and simply let Pa Yinan lead the way.
Their easy agreement surprised not only Pa Yinan and Ge Ge but also Gu Mengyao, who was standing nearby, wondering what Gu Yu was up to.
Her little husband was no good person!
No matter what Pa Yinan said, Gu Yu’s heart would not be moved.
Moreover, Gu Yu was a very stubborn person.
It was even less likely that he would change his mind so easily.
Unless… it was a trap…
“A’yu, why did you agree?”
After thinking a lot, Gu Mengyao finally spoke softly, wanting to ask Gu Yu what he was thinking.
When Gu Yu saw his little wife acting sneakily, he thought she was so cute and couldn’t help but reach out and touch her slender waist, feeling a surge of satisfaction!
Having a beautiful wife, he really wanted to be romantic every night!
“I’m just setting a trap because I don’t know if what Pa Yinan said is true. It would be troublesome if she was from the Witch Priest’s side. But I want to go into the cave today, so I want to try it out first… Bringing Ge Ge, such an obviously weak chicken, is a burden, but he is also Pa Yinan’s burden.”
Gu Yu did not forget the main business, otherwise, his ‘licentious’ behavior would be lectured by his little wife when he returned.
Therefore, Gu Yu quickly explained the reason and, while Gu Mengyao was thinking, he sneakily touched her a few more times.
It felt very thrilling!
“So that’s how it is, but why did you bring Zhou Yi too?”
“His master, Lin Qianshan, might appear at any time. Bringing him is also for the idea of a bargaining chip. After all, I’m the only one with the antidote. If Lin Qianshan still wants this disciple, he won’t dare to act rashly… However, I think this possibility is very small, because Lin Qianshan is probably possessed by a demon, and now he even dares to kill his own son… Even so, it’s the same effort to drive two sheep, so it’s safer to bring him.”
“A’yu, you are very cautious, which is good.”
“Even so, Pa Yinan and Lin Qianshan are two time bombs; we must be vigilant.”
“Mhm.”
Seeing Gu Mengyao’s admiring look, Gu Yu smiled slightly, not getting too carried away.
With Gu Mengyao’s strategic thinking from leading troops in battle, she could also figure this out… But now she was acting like a gentle little wife, giving him, her husband, plenty of face, which made Gu Yu feel very comfortable.
If it were someone else, they might feel their self-esteem was insulted, but Gu Yu just felt his wife was the best in the world~
