Chapter 557: Not Dead

Song Li really did not like others to use such a tone to talk to her.

”Although you are the apprentice of the High Priest, but do not forget, if you ruin the Imperial Tutor’s matter, are you able to bear the consequences of what would happen?”

”Stop using the Imperial Tutor to threaten me,” Song Li’s face was instantly flushed as red as a pig’s liver.

She and the king were the masters of Miaojiang, why should she be afraid of a man of unknown origins?

Moreover, he was a man who had never shown his real face, she hated such people the most. 

The old man calmly looked at Song Li: “You can tell those words to the Imperial Tutor, I hope you can take out the illusory grass, or else we will all die when the time comes.”

Song Li’s face was shifting between green and white, in addition to the nibbling pain on her body, it caused Song Li’s originally pale face to be close to being transparent.

”I do not have any,” Song Li gritted her teeth and insisted, she was unwilling to take them out.

The old man smiled and nodded his head seeing her acting that way: “Since you’re unwilling to do so, I will not force you,” The old man said with a faint smile: “I will just mention this accordingly when the Imperial Tutor decides to find the person at fault.”

”Are you threatening me?” Song Li said angrily.

The old man gently shook his head: “No, I am not threatening you, I am just stating the truth. Is the illusory grass important, or your life more important? You should have a certain understanding, there is no need for me to say anything more.”

Song Li looked at the old man with an ugly expression: “Miaojiang belongs to the King, all of you traitors.”

”Haha, his? If it wasn’t for you all completely massacring the Nan Family, it’s really hard to tell who would be the King right now,” The old man laughed mockingly. 

At that time, there was a child from the Nan Family which was really talented in Gu worms, he was already chosen by the Gu King when he was very young. The child was originally the most qualified to be King, in the end, the current King of Miaojiang massacred the young boy’s family. Not only so, even the Gu King had gone missing for more than a decade. All of this was the deed of the person in front of him as well as the so-called King now.

A person who had not gained the approval of the Gu King wishes to be the King of Miaojiang? Does he really think that many people are truly convinced? It was only because of the few priests supporting him.

”You……” Song Li was just about to be angry but she suddenly thought of a problem.

When she was in the Regent’s Residence, that man beside the Princess seemed to be called Nan Yu.

Nan…… Could it be…… Song Li’s eyes were wide open, there was disbelief in her eyes.

If she guessed correctly, that person called Nan Yu was a descendant of the Nan Family. Not only so, the Gu King might possibly be in his hands.

The old man muttered in his heart seeing Song Li’s sudden change in expression. What was this person thinking about, her expression changed really fast.

”That child is not dead.”

”What do you mean?” The old man’s expression changed, he looked at Song Li and frowned.

”There is a person who knows about Gu worms in the Regent’s Residence called Nan Yu, the Gu King might be on him,” When she was in the Regent’s Residence, she had tried to urge her Gu worms, but nothing happened, those Gu worms seemed to be trembling.

Although her Gu worms could not be compared to the previous ones, it was considered superior Gu worms, however, they were unable to do anything over there, they were even trembling nonstop. It only proved a problem, the Gu King was in the Regent’s Residence.

The old man frowned and looked at Song Li, if it was true, this matter would be really tricky. Seeing Song Li in such a state, the other party might be exacting revenge.

Just when he was having such thoughts, Song Li suddenly screamed, she kept rolling on the bed, it was as if the bones in her body were shattering, it was also as if her body was being nibbled by hundreds and thousands of ants, such a feeling almost made Song Li went crazy.

On the roof of the Regent’s Residence, Nan Yu was blowing a small bamboo flute, his face did not have the slightest expression but there was obvious enthusiasm in his eyes, it was as if he was excited about something.

Qing Shuang stood down below watching Nan Yu acting that way, she was feeling worried inside, she immediately leaped up after Nan Yu stopped: “Are you alright?”

”I’m fine, I just thought about my parents,” Nan Yu’s mood was a little downcast.
