Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 1694: Chapter 1694: He’s Actually Dead Just Like That!

“Leader Su, could that woman be planning to…”

A whizzing sound.

Before the guard could finish his sentence, he saw a silver needle shoot out from Leader Su’s hand, flying straight towards Xiang Qiyan, lying on the bed, and landing extremely close to his head.

It was just a fraction of an inch away; had it been any closer, the silver needle would have hit Xiang Qiyan’s ear.

“Leader Su, you…”

“Good heavens, what is this thing?”

Two voices arose at once, both carrying expressions of shock and disbelief. One guard glared at Su Tang, looking as though he suspected him of attempting regicide, while the other rushed to Xiang Qiyan’s side, staring at the silver needle.

Where the aghast guard’s gaze fell, the tip of the silver needle had pierced a very small insect—milky white, yet looking exceedingly fierce and disgusting.

Hearing his exclamation, the other guard hurried over to examine it as well.

After one look, his eyes bulged.

“Could this… could this be a Gu Insect from the Qingyun Sect?”

His hand trembling, he pointed to the tiny insect and quietly asked.

Both turned their gazes towards Su Tang, who remained calm, arms crossed once more, eyes closed, as if he hadn’t just been the one to slay the insect with the silver needle.

At this point, what more was there to understand? Their leader was guarding against Gu Qingyu and her Gu Insects.

“Is she setting her sights on our prince?” one of them whispered quietly.

“Quite audacious indeed!”

The other shook his head. Those people clearly knew the prince’s identity, and yet Gu Qingyu had the audacity to act this way; she was basically sabotaging her own team.

Did she not fear the prince waking up to find this woman meddling and just chopping down their entire squad?

Indeed, this woman was really bold!

…

Of course, Gu Qingyu could not so easily cast Worm Gu on Xiang Qiyan; furthermore, Love Potion was not something she could apply at will.

However, although it wasn’t the Gu she had intended to cast, the insect that Su Tang had killed was indeed a Gu Insect; it was merely the vanguard she had sent.

“Damn it, it actually died just like that!”

When the other Gu Insect in the box died quickly, she knew that the one she had sent out had perished.

What she didn’t know was whether its death was an accident or if the guards were too vigilant, not letting anything approach Xiang Qiyan, the prince. If it was the latter, it would be a tough situation to handle.

The guards already had their complaints about her; it wouldn’t be wise for her to get close to them now.

Nevertheless, she had no choice but to get near, as she wasn’t always in possession of the Love Potion—it was something she had taken from her father to play with and didn’t respond well to her commands.

She would need to get close to Xiang Qiyan to cast the Love Potion on him.

Even if not getting close to Xiang Qiyan himself, she needed to be nearer to him to cast the Gu Insect on him.

Thinking about how she would have to approach those unfavorable guards, Gu Qingyu’s scalp tingled, and she felt not the slightest desire to suck up to those idiots.

But the thought of becoming the most cherished by Xiang Qiyan once the Love Potion was cast, transcending everyone in her status, refueled her determination.

With that thought, she regained her confidence.

“Tomorrow, I must succeed, I have to succeed!”

With one hand she clenched a fist, psyching herself up; with the other, she closed the box and casually tossed it into a corner.
