"Then we'll all go. Should we tell my older cousin and brother?" Ying Yufu asked.

Shangguan Fei crossed her arms and said, "We'll talk about it later."

Ying Yufu said, "I will definitely tell the Crown Prince. I'll take him with me then. He loves watching the excitement, he'll definitely want to come with me!"

Shangguan Fei teased, "Fu'er, are you afraid the Crown Prince will be seduced by that Princess Xilin?"

Ying Yufu blinked, looking completely innocent. "How could that be? I'm very magnanimous. I don't care about such trivial matters."

Shangguan Sheng's lips twitched. He wondered who it was that said she was very jealous last time!

Now he's being generous again.

As Wu Linggu watched them start discussing this, his heavy heart couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation.

However, she had to warn them: "The conflict between the Black Witch and White Witch factions in the Southern Barbarian lands is fierce and fraught with danger. If you go, you may be in peril."

"I'll still go," Ying Yufu said.

Even without Wu Linggu's suggestion, she would have gone anyway, given the impending birth of the Nine-Headed Gu.

Shangguan Fei was unaware of the Nine-Headed Gu, and simply said, "However, my grandmother said that we should spend some quality time with her, and at least not leave home until after the Lantern Festival."

Ying Yufu nodded and said, "That's right. My grandfather has finally come back, and I want to spend more time with him."

"A-Gu, do you think it's okay?" Shangguan Fei looked at Wu Linggu again.

Wu Linggu was deeply moved and said, "Young Miss, thank you!"

Inside the inn, Wu Lingduo, pale-faced, was carried away for treatment.

High Priest Lan Yan and High Priest Xuan Feng, among others, sat in the council hall.

"Something has changed in Yunzhou. The Beixuan Snow Phoenix Army has entered Yunzhou, and the Yunzhou army controlled by the Cheng family has all surrendered. Now, the Snow Phoenix Army controls half of Yunzhou."

Lan Yan said with a solemn expression.

"How could this happen? What about Zhou Shichang?" a member of the Wu clan asked.

His name is Wutusu, and he is Wulingduo's uncle, holding a pivotal position in the Wu family.

"There's not much to worry about with Zhou Shichang, but the Beixuan people are too cunning. They took Zhou Shichang's daughter to Yunzhou."

This Zhou Shichang loves his daughter dearly. If he knew that his daughter had been wronged in the Cheng family, he would definitely turn against them.

Fortunately, he has been infected with our Heart-Eating Gu, and is under our control, so he won't dare to act recklessly for the time being.

Lan Yan's face darkened.

He paused, then asked, "Did you get the Golden Serpent Gu?"

Utusu's face darkened. "We didn't get it. Ulingduo has really disappointed us today."

In every respect, Wu Lingduo is not as good as Wu Linggu.

It is not as clever as Wu Linggu.

"In the past, we thought that Wu Lingduo was only inferior to Wu Linggu in terms of talent. After all, Wu Linggu is the most outstanding junior in our Southern Barbarian lands in recent decades."

But today we've discovered that in other aspects, Wu Lingduo is also inferior to Wu Linggu.

Lan Yan's eyes darkened slightly. "It seems that the Yao family has discovered something recently and is investigating the child who went missing years ago."

If they find out that Wu Linggu is the child they lost all those years ago, then things will be very bad.

"No matter what, the Black Spirit Bone cannot be kept."

Wutusu frowned: "If Wulingduo hadn't attacked her without permission, Wulinggu could still be of use to us."

Even if the White Witches had extraordinary abilities, they couldn't find out that Wu Linggu was the child from back then.

But now that Wu Linggu has been murdered, everything is different. The White Witch faction will inevitably become suspicious.

Lan Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, "There's another way to prevent them from suspecting Wu Linggu."

"What method?"

"Give them false information, make them believe that the child from back then was abused by us as a Gu child, and that we and the Yao family have long been enemies. If we say this, they will definitely believe it."

Their attention will then be diverted from Wu Linggu.

"That's fine, but the problem is, Wu Linggu isn't dead yet, and Wu Lingduo has revealed the secret of her past." Wu Tusu was at his wit's end.

Lan Yan pondered for a moment, then said, "Wu Linggu is doomed. As for Wu Lingduo..."

She narrowed her eyes slightly. In any case, the Chosen One was about to return, and the position of Saintess would eventually belong to the Chosen One. Wu Lingduo was only temporarily taking over the position of Saintess.

If she doesn't know what's good for her, then deal with her.

Wutusu sighed and said, "Although Wulingduo is the legitimate daughter of the Wu family, this concerns the chosen one of heaven. No matter who it is, they must give way."
