Everyone was taken aback, and their faces showed surprise.

Is it that fast?

They had just learned Agu's true identity when the Southern Barbarians came knocking?

Shangguan Fei looked at Wu Linggu and asked, "Agu, do you want to see him?"

Wu Linggu looked at Shangguan Fei, her eyes no longer blank as before, but filled with gratitude and a clear understanding that came with regaining her memories.

"Young Miss, what's meant to happen can't be avoided, so let's meet him," Wu Linggu said.

Judging from her tone, Shangguan Fei raised an eyebrow and asked, "You've regained your memories?"

Wu Linggu nodded readily, "I've recovered. Thank you for taking me in during this time, Miss."

Shangguan Fei readily agreed, "It's alright, let's just say it's fate."

A gentle smile emanated from Wu Linggu's eyes and brows.

The chill of being betrayed by her own sister was warmed at this moment by someone who had saved her.

She then looked in Ying Yufu's direction and solemnly bowed, performing the Southern Barbarian etiquette.

"Thank you, Princess Anguo, for helping me regain my memories. Wu Linggu will forever remember your kindness."

Ying Yufu waved her hand and said, "It's alright, you don't need to take it to heart."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for helping Wu Linggu regain her memories. The system rewards you with 1000 points. Your current point balance is 19776.]

Ying Yufu smiled and looked up. Look, her balance was back, and she even made a profit.

"Host, Wu Linggu is the key figure in dealing with the Nine-Headed Gu," Xiao Dian reminded him.

Ying Yufu glanced at Wu Linggu again and said solemnly, "I understand, Xiao Dian. I will protect her."

As they were talking, Shangguan Fei called the southern barbarians outside in.

Unexpectedly, the southern barbarians who entered were led by Wu Lingduo.

Previously, Wu Lingduo and Princess Mingluan seemed to have a very good relationship.

Now that Princess Mingluan is dead, Wulingduo is in high spirits.

She strode in, followed by a group of envoys from the southern barbarians.

Two of them held positions second only to the two high priests, Lan Yan and Xuan Feng.

"I am Wu Lingduo, the Holy Maiden of the Southern Barbarians, and I apologize for disturbing you." Wu Lingduo performed the Southern Barbarian hand seal ceremony with a smile on her face and an arrogant demeanor.

As the hostess, Shangguan Fei gave her a polite look, then asked with a hint of doubt, "Excuse my bluntness, but the Southern Barbarian Holy Maiden is Wu Linggu, not Wu Lingduo. When did your Southern Barbarians change their Holy Maiden?"

Shangguan Fei was genuinely puzzled, and her question came naturally.

But to Wu Lingduo, these words sounded extremely provocative and sarcastic.

She thought Shangguan Fei was deliberately mocking her, her face stiffened, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Shangguan Fei is just as unlikeable as Ying Yufu.

Her expression turned slightly cold as she said, "Just now, High Priests Lan Yan and Xuan Feng decided that the Southern Barbarians have a new Holy Maiden. The current Holy Maiden of the Southern Barbarians is me, Wu Lingduo."

Shangguan Fei nodded. "I see. So you Southern Barbarians are quite quick at changing Holy Maidens."

Wu Lingduo and the other southern barbarians' expressions froze again.

I always felt that Shangguan Fei was mocking them when she spoke.

However, her expression was very serious, and she did not mean to mock them.

Shangguan Fei glanced at Wu Linggu, seeing that she was expressionless and unmoved.

Shangguan Fei sighed. Wu Linggu's fate was unknown, yet the Southern Barbarians had already replaced her with a Holy Maiden. It seemed that the Southern Barbarian high command was quite ruthless and cold-blooded.

It's just a pity about Wu Linggu; her identity is probably going to be awkward now.

"I heard you've come to see Agu? What's the reason?"

Shangguan Fei asked the key question.

Wu Lingduo immediately looked at Wu Linggu and saw that she was also looking at her. Her eyes were calm and unwavering, and even somewhat unfamiliar.

Wu Lingduo's lips curled slightly, her eyes filled with a deep smile. It seemed she had guessed correctly; Wu Linggu had indeed lost her memory.

With amnesia, everything becomes much easier.

Wu Lingduo laughed and said, "I saw Sister Agu by chance on the street earlier, but she didn't seem to recognize me, so I hesitated and thought I had mistaken her for someone else."

But after I went back and thought about it carefully, I realized that she was my sister Agu.

"Miss Shangguan, you know that Agu is a southern barbarian, right? She is my older sister, Wulinggu."

Shangguan Fei feigned ignorance and countered, "How do you intend to prove it?"

Wu Linggu bit her lip and said, "This is actually easy to prove. My sister, Agu, has a small golden snake mark on her chest. That is her natal Gu mark."

As she spoke, she looked at Wu Linggu and said, "Sister, I'm A'duo. Do you remember me? You used to love me the most!"

Wu Linggu simply looked at her calmly, as if she were a stranger.

"Agu doesn't have a golden snake mark on his chest, Miss Wu, are you sure you haven't mistaken him for someone else?" Shangguan Fei said.

When she rescued Wu Linggu, her body was covered in wounds and she was barely clothed. There was indeed no golden snake mark on her chest.

Instead, there was a small snake corpse in her hair.

The little snake was completely cold.

"No? How is that possible?" Wu Lingduo frowned, her expression changing slightly.

She seemed unable to accept this fact, and quickly stepped forward to grab Wu Linggu's clothes.

Wu Linggu quickly dodged to the side and struck out with his palm, knocking Wu Lingduo back several steps.

"Don't come near me!"

Wu Linggu shouted coldly.

Wu Lingduo looked at her, and her eyes involuntarily reddened.

She looked aggrieved: "Sister, don't you really remember me? You're A'duo, your most beloved little sister A'duo!"

A hint of mockery flashed through Wu Linggu's mind. His most beloved younger sister?

It was this younger sister, whom she loved most, who caught her completely off guard, that allowed her to get close and launch a successful sneak attack.

"I don't acknowledge you." Wu Linggu did not want to acknowledge her.

Wu Lingduo dared to appear here and directly test her, because she wasn't afraid that Wu Lingduo would regain her memories and point out her sins.

She must have something to rely on to do this.

Thinking of what she had said earlier, that the two high priests, Lan Yan and Xuan Feng, had decided to make Wu Lingduo the saintess, Wu Linggu immediately had a plan in mind.

Nowadays, it's unlikely that she would have a place in the southern barbarians.

She, a former saint, has even died once; she can probably never go back to what she was before.

But she still wanted to take revenge.

Only by making Wu Lingduo pay the price can she regain her true self.

"Miss Shangguan, what about the Golden Snake Gu? My sister must have the Golden Snake Gu, right? It looks like a small golden snake. That's my sister's natal Gu, enough to prove her identity." Wu Lingduo asked anxiously when she mentioned the Golden Snake Gu.

Shangguan Fei said, "Miss Wu, you seem to have misunderstood something. I don't care what Wu Linggu's identity is. I just want you to prove why I say she is your sister."

Even if she has the golden snake, that only proves her own identity, not that she is your sister.

"Miss Shangguan, do you not believe me?" Wu Lingduo's eyes widened.

Shangguan Fei said, "Why should I believe you?"

Wu Lingduo was speechless.

Wu Lingduo looked at Wu Linggu anxiously and said, "Sister, think carefully, don't you really remember me? I'm A'duo!"

So Wu Linggu looked her over carefully and said, "You look somewhat familiar."

Wu Lingduo was delighted. "Sister, did you remember something?"

She appeared joyful, but a cold glint flashed at the fingertips of her hand held at her side.

It was a leaf-shaped concealed weapon, as thin as a cicada's wing.

Wu Linggu shook his head: "I can't remember anything."

Wu Lingduo breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, smiling innocently: "Sister, will you come with me? I can help you regain your memories."

Wu Linggu hesitated.

She looked at Shangguan Fei.

Although Shangguan Fei saved her, he didn't know her very well.

But at this moment, I finally understood her expression.

Shangguan Fei then said, "If you trust her, you can go with her. After all, you are all southern barbarians."

Wu Linggu smiled, her beauty captivating and alluring: "Thank you, Miss."

A triumphant smile flashed in Wu Lingduo's eyes.

"Sister, let's go." She said with a joyful expression, and stepped forward to pull Wu Linggu.

Wu Linggu still wouldn't let her touch him, only saying, "Don't touch me, I'll walk by myself."

Wu Lingduo's eyes immediately welled up with tears of grievance. "Sister, we used to be very close. We even slept in the same bed together. Now you won't even let me touch you."

Wu Linggu glanced at her indifferently.

That was in the past.

Now, she feels disgusted even if she is touched by her.

Wu Linggu left the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion with Wu Lingduo.

Shangguan Sheng said, "If we go with them, these southern barbarians probably don't have any good intentions towards Wu Linggu."

Shangguan Fei glanced at him in surprise. She had originally thought that this little cousin was somewhat special, but now she found him rather strange.

Ying Yufu coughed lightly, unsure how to explain to her older cousin that Shangguan Sheng probably had memories of his past life. After all, Sheng'er himself hadn't spoken frankly about this, so she couldn't bring it up directly.

She stood up and said, "Big Cousin, let's follow them quietly and see what these southern barbarians are up to."

If they really intend to harm Wu Linggu, then we can step in to help.

Shangguan Fei readily agreed and, along with Shangguan Sheng, followed them.

The southern barbarians hadn't gone far when they followed, quickly maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far from them.

They did not return to the post station.

Instead, they went to a deserted alley.

This is clearly a malicious act, an attempt to kill and silence witnesses.

As expected, once they reached the depths of the alley, Wu Lingduo's expression changed, and she looked at Wu Linggu with a distorted expression.

"Wu Linggu, how are you so lucky? You're still alive after all that!" Wu Lingduo exclaimed in disbelief.

Wu Linggu looked at her and frowned.

She looked at the people behind Wu Lingduo, and sure enough, there was no place for her in the Southern Barbarian lands anymore.

Wu Lingduo, she's not even pretending anymore.

Wu Linggu's expression gradually turned cold. She said coldly, "Wu Lingduo, you harmed the Holy Maiden; you deserve to be burned at the stake!"

Wu Lingduo was startled, then looked at Wu Linggu with a horrified expression. "You haven't lost your memory?"

She took several steps back with a thud, instinctively hiding behind the two great shamans.

Both of these great shamans were members of the Wu clan. A strange look flashed across their faces as they sternly stared at Wu Linggu.

"Wulinggu, you are no longer the Holy Maiden of the Southern Barbarians. The current Holy Maiden of the Southern Barbarians is your younger sister, Wulingduo."

"Since you haven't lost your memory, then hand over the Golden Serpent Gu and give it to the Holy Maiden. Only the Holy Maiden is worthy of possessing the Golden Serpent Gu!"
