No wonder no one could cure her daughter’s illness.

It was no wonder that her daughter would fall seriously ill overnight and become unable to walk. Her health was deteriorating day by day.

The Emperor’s chest heaved violently, and the anger in his heart surged.

His daughter was still so young, but she had already endured unbearable pain and suffering.

“It’s a Gu.” Gu Yanfei looked at the red Gu in her hand and nodded. ‘This is a Blood Gu.”

The Blood Gu was parasitic in a person’s body and would continuously suck their blood essence. Once the host’s blood essence couldn’t satisfy it, it would even eat the host’s flesh, blood, and bone marrow. The reason why it could live peacefully until now was all because she was a member of the royal family.

Good things to nourish the body were sent to her mouth for free, satisfying the Blood Gu’s needs.

To be able to raise such a ferocious Gu in this small world, this person was quite capable.

When Gu Yanfei was in the Bright Spirit Realm, she had interacted with Gu entities before. However, the Gu entities in the Bright Spirit Realm were naturally far different from the Gu entities in the mortal world. This was like the difference between a normal cat and a spirit beast. They couldn’t be compared.

An Le, who was in the wheelchair, naturally saw the scarlet Blood Gu in Gu Yanfei’s hand, and her face showed some fear.

She had been afraid of those snakes, insects, rats, and ants since she was young. Now that she saw Gu Yanfei holding that terrifying Gu worm fearlessly in his hand, she was filled with admiration and panic. She wanted to see it, but she didn’t dare to look at it too much.

Just the thought of this worm crawling out of her body made the little girl’s heart skip a beat, and her fingertips went numb.

“Your Highness, have some tea.” The palace maid hurriedly brought over a cup of warm tea and carefully handled the teacup to an Le.

The palace maid took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off her forehead. She heaved a sigh of relief.

She was close and could clearly see that after the Gu worm was drawn out of her body, her peaceful complexion was visibly improving.

Five minutes ago, when An Le was pushed here, he was on the verge of death. It was difficult for him to even speak or smile, as if he would die at any moment.

Now, there was a little color in her face, and her breathing was much calmer.

The surrounding commoners also looked in the direction of peace and harmony. Their emotions had yet to calm down.

Just now, hundreds of people present had witnessed with their own eyes that the Gu worm had been drawn out of the eldest princess’s body. With so many pairs of eyes watching from all directions, it was impossible to fake.

The more they thought about it, the more shocked they became. They felt a strong sense of sympathy for this delicate eldest princess.

“Investigate!” The Emperor’s dignified and angry voice suddenly sounded. “We can’t condone such a sinister person!”

As he spoke, his thin body trembled uncontrollably.

An Le had been seriously ill five years ago and hadn’t been able to walk since. In other words, this Gu worm had been in her body for at least five years.

In the past five years, the Gu worm has greedily absorbed her flesh and blood as nutrients, making her weak and sickly. She had almost lost her life…

The Emperor’s old and turbid eyes turned red. His chest heaved violently, and his emotions surged. Among them were his heartache for his daughter and hatred for the mastermind.

Actually, there was no need to investigate. The Emperor knew who the person who poisoned An Le was.

Shangqing.

Other than Shangqing, who else could it be!

Even if it wasn’t him, he was definitely involved!

The Emperor was about to issue a decree when he saw Chu Yi shake his head gently at him, his dark eyes unfathomable.

Chu Yi led the Emperor’s gaze towards Gu Yanfei, who was a few steps away.

Gu Yanfei held the Blood Gu in one hand and a talisman in her free hand. After exchanging glances with Chu Yi, she smiled and said to the commoners, “The

Gu knows its master.”

Chu Yi’s lips curled up imperceptibly.

“Buzz buzz…”

The Gu worm seemed to have sensed something. A pair of transparent wings suddenly appeared on both sides of its slender body and flapped rapidly, emitting a buzzing sound.

It tried to flap its wings and break free from Gu Yanfei’s hand. However, Gu Yanfei’s hand, which was used to pinching silver needles, was extremely stable. She didn’t relax her grip on the Gu worm’s tentacles at all.

Gu Yanfei stuck the talisman on the Gu worm steadily and accurately.

In an instant, the Blood Gu froze and stopped moving. Only the talisman swayed in the wind and rustled.

Gu Yanfei calculated with her fingers. After her slender fingers pinched the talisman twice, a corner of it started burning on its own. The flame transformed into two words in midair— Shangqing.

These two words floated clearly in the air, and everyone around saw them.

“Shangqing, it’s Shangqing Spiritual Master! ”

Many literate commoners recognized the two words floating in the air and read them out in unison.

This time, even those illiterate people knew the result of Gu Yanfei’s divination.

A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and the commoners were in an uproar.

“It can’t be?!” A woman couldn’t help but say.

Many commoners hesitated and defended Shangqing Spiritual Master.

“Shangqing Spiritual Master has always been benevolent all these years. He gave clothes and medicine and miraculously saved many people and helped many people. Everyone knows.”

“That’s right. Shangqing Spiritual Master is clearly a living immortal who helps the world. How can such a sinister thing as casting a Gu worm be related to him? Is there a mistake?”

The Shangqing Spiritual Master had been famous for a long time. Over the years, he had used his unpredictable methods to solve many difficult illnesses. His illustrious reputation had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

‘What living immortal? He’s just a fraud,” a skinny, middle-aged man sneered and said loudly.

“How could he be a kind-hearted person if he could come up with such a heartless idea of killing people and taking their blood to refine pills?!’

“That’s right. Shangqing Spiritual Master is so deranged and vicious. He must be the Gu worm’s master.”

The reprimands became louder and louder. The discussions among the commoners became more and more intense. Most people believed Gu Yanfei’s divination and felt that the person who planted the spell must be Shangqing.

Other than Shangqing, who else could it be?
