Venerated Venomous Consort

Those people emerged from all sides. Gu Xijiu stopped. She had very sharp eyes and was able to recognize the ten leaders of the group. They were the previous, current, and future masters of Shen Nianmo!

Shen Jiuli and his wife had left the mainland for something. They were worried about their son, so before they left, they found these ten masters for their son. During Shen Nianmo’s birthday, Gu Xijiu hid in the dark and saw Shen Nianmo meeting with the ten masters. Afterward, she also investigated these ten masters. They were the best leaders in the Upper Bound and had achieved outstanding achievements in one aspect.

Up to now, Shen Nianmo had trained under two of these masters – Spiritual Master Yuhang and Master Fengxing. He had not gone to the other eight masters yet, but somehow the ten of them had appeared together!

There were men and women, old and young, ugly and handsome. The ten people had clearly coordinated to ambush Gu Xijiu. They had sealed all the possible exits.

“You came!” This was the first sentence that Spiritual Master Yuhang uttered. Pridefully, he continued, “I had guessed correctly.”

Master Fengxing looked like an angry pug with a deep hatred toward Gu Xijiu. “I have heard that you actually like a kid and might come to kidnap him. At first, I didn’t really believe it, but now it seems that it is true!”

“I don’t think you are young anymore. You should be much older than Shen Nianmo; why would you want to be so stubborn? Nianmo is not the one for you!”

“You appeared at the birthday party of Nianmo so you should know his true identity. Is it because of his parents that you want to be with him? Let me tell you that the Divine Lord and the Great Devil would absolutely forbid someone to scheme their son!”

“Yes, although they are not there, he has us here, and we will never let you touch Nianmo at all!”

“You have been traveling on this continent. Although you have been masked and do not let people see your true face, you are still very famous. Before this incident, everyone paid a lot of respect to you. Why would you be obsessed with him and destroy your own reputation?”

Gu Xijiu remained quiet while the ten masters had accused her and threatened her. Gu Xijiu simply folded her arms and listened silently. There was a mask on her face, so everyone did know what her expression was. They could not even guess her thoughts by just observing her posture.

Gu Xijiu was very well-mannered. She did not like to interrupt when someone was speaking. However, when she stood there coldly, she emitted a faint aura which made people feel cold.

“Have you all finished talking?” After they uttered their opinions, Gu Xijiu finally opened her mouth.

“If I tell you that I have no intention to court Shen Nianmo and just want to complete a task to help him practice, will you believe me?”

“Haha!” Someone laughed, and it was not only one person who sneered. There were elites from all clans who formed a circle not too far away to surround her.

“I think you are trying to give an excuse because so many people have surrounded you. Where is the courage you had when you were rude in Mount Wujie? Many people heard what you said there! You can’t deny it!” It was Qing Luo’s voice!
