Su Yu frowned as he looked at the abbot, whose expression was also grim.
“Wan Gu, do as Jinhe said. It’s not difficult for you,” Su Yu said. This guy was playing some strange games; these things were too simple for him.
“Understood.” Wan Gu took the gu worm and left. The abbot’s eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Jingkong.
Their plans were ruined because of Jingkong.
Jingkong naturally noticed the abbot’s gaze and fearlessly met it. Even he was in deep trouble now, so how could he expect not to be targeted?
Wang Jinhe, observing the provocation directed at the abbot, seemed surprised. It appeared that Jingkong understood the situation well.
” Yuan Bao, Lock them up and have someone guard the house. Anyone who intrudes should be killed without mercy,” Su Yu ordered coldly.
Qiming should be coming soon, right?
Wang Jinhe tilted her head and looked at Su Yu. “Are you worried about Qiming coming?”
“I’m not worried about him coming; I’m certain he will come. Qiming is just that arrogant.”
Qiming would never expect them to figure out the issue with the abbot based on a single sentence.
It must be that he already thinks he’s been poisoned by the abbot.
“It seems you already have a plan in mind.”
Su Yu smiled but remained silent, not explaining much to Wang Jinhe. After the smile, his expression turned serious.
It was time to settle the score.
Su Yu had initially thought Qiming would come quickly, but to his surprise, Wan Gu had already altered the gu worm, and Qiming had yet to arrive.
Su Yu went to where the abbot was being held, sat across from him, and the abbot, with a cold demeanor, completely disregarded Su Yu.
Unperturbed, Su Yu leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
He only opened his eyes when he heard footsteps approaching.
“Is it done?”
“It’s done, and the effect is several times stronger.”
Su Yu nodded in satisfaction. “Use it on him.”
The calm words of Su Yu caused the abbot’s expression to change repeatedly.
It was the gu worm he had obtained, and he knew very well what effects it had. Now that it had been modified, he had no doubt about Wan Gu’s words.
Wan Gu by Su Yu’s side was truly peculiar, seemingly unafraid and capable of anything, and Su Yu allowed him to do as he pleased.
“The prince won’t let you off the hook.”
Wan Gu was displeased. He walked over and kicked the abbot in the abdomen, causing the abbot’s face to turn pale with pain. Leaning in close, Wan Gu said, “Can you threaten my young master?”
“Wan Gu, don’t be so cruel to our guest. It’s frightening,” Su Yu spoke up at that moment.
Wan Gu turned to Su Yu, looking at him as if he were a monster. Could their young master really say such things?
“You’re being too naive, young master. It’s not worth lister him at all,” Wan Gu said, unkindly.
Su Yu rested his chin on his hand and looked at the abbot. “Do you have something to say?”
“Following our prince is your way out, not Xuan Feiran. He’s just a waste… Ah!” The abbot’s words were cut off by a scream.
Looking at the person standing beside him, the abbot was shocked. When did Su Yu appear beside him? He hadn’t noticed at all.
“You…”
“Wan Gu,” Su Yu didn’t let him finish and instead looked at Wan Gu.
Seeing the deep, dark gaze of Su Yu, Wan Gu coughed lightly. This old bald donkey had angered the young master.
Wan Gu shrugged sympathetically and cast a glance at the old abbot. Even he didn’t dare to truly anger the young master, or they would all be in trouble. Fortunately, Su Yu rarely got angry and wouldn’t take it out on them.
Wan Gu took out the recently modified gu worm, which had changed from a small black insect to a dark green one. Watching the gu worm struggle, Wan Gu smiled and said, “I think it’s necessary for me to explain to you what’s happening with this gu worm now.”
“The toxicity of this gu worm has increased. Not only can it control people, but if it stays in your body for a long time, you will become a toxic person. Do you understand what that means?” Wan Gu asked the abbot.
Su Yu frowned at Wangu and rubbed his forehead. “Wan Gu, I only want to teach someone a lesson, not to harm innocent people.”
Wan Gu chuckled, knowing that Su Yu was concerned about innocent people getting hurt. He quickly explained, “Young master, rest assured, ordinary people won’t be affected.”
“Good,” Su Yu didn’t inquire further. As long as innocent people wouldn’t be affected, it was fine. He wouldn’t doubt the truthfulness of Wan Gu’s words. If Wan Gu said it wouldn’t happen, then it wouldn’t. In this regard, even his master couldn’t compare.
The abbot watched as the green insect entered his body. Strangely, he felt fine, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
As the abbot looked puzzled, Wan Gu suddenly took out a small bell and gently shook it.
Ding….
The sound of the bell made the abbot’s eyes suddenly become vacant.
“You can ask now, young master,” Wan Gu said to Su Yu with a smile.
Su Yu raised an eyebrow at Wan Gu. What was he up to with the bell?
“What is Qiming’s purpose in coming to Xuan Empire?” Su Yu asked.
“To understand Xuan Empire, find its weaknesses, and establish cooperation with officials in the court,” the Abbot replied.
Su Yu’s expression gradually became serious as he coldly asked, “Whom have you contacted now?”
“Previously, it was Xie Chen. But now, the Xie Chen family is finished, so I was about to find someone else,” Wan Gu answered.
Furrowing his brow, Su Yu wondered why Xie Chen, who was related to Ling Empire, had become associated with Qi Empire.
“What is your relationship with Ling Empire?” A thought flashed through Su Yu’s mind, too fast for him to grasp.
“Ling Empire is just a tool for us to use. Ling Xiaochen is of no use at all,” the abbot’s voice was somewhat stiff, but the disdain in his tone was clear.
Su Yu tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingertips and did not continue questioning. Wan Gu looked at him and asked, “Young master, do you want to continue?”
“Of course, I have to ask. I just didn’t expect Qi Empire to be so deeply hidden,” Su Yu replied.
“Are you suggesting that when Ling Xiaochen wants the lady to form a marriage alliance and that the mastermind behind the desire for a million catties of high-yield grain could be from Qi Empire? But why does Ling Empire listen to Qi empire? Just because the two countries have formed an alliance?” Wan Gu still found it hard to believe.
Between Empires, even if they cooperate, one empire will not completely obey another. Everyone wants to be in a dominant position. What gives Qi empire the right to make Ling empire obedient?
Su Yu was also pondering this question. Qi empire, Ling empire, and Qiming were all problematic. What had he forgotten in his past life? What had happened later? After thinking for a long time, Su Yu still couldn’t recall what had occurred at that time.
“Young master?”
“It’s nothing, I just forgot some things. I can’t seem to remember,” Su Yu said, furrowing his brow.
