Chapter 1590: Chapter 1412: Stormy Night in Jianghu
Xia Dabao was taken back by the high and low priests and locked up in a relatively beautiful house within the Moon Shadow Clan.
The Clan Chief of the Moon Shadow Clan didn’t cultivate the Giant Gu; what he cultivated was another kind of Gu, only he didn’t want the Chixia Clan to succeed in their cultivation first.
But just to be safe, he still treated Xia Dabao well, providing her with good food and drink.
Xia Dabao felt immense pain in her heart. Why did the affairs of the Southern Illumination Nation always involve her!
“Lady Dabao, actually, how is staying here any different from being over there? Aren’t you confined in both places? The Chixia Clan even regularly draws your blood, but we don’t want your blood here. Just eat well and stay nourished, that’s all. I dream of such a life,” said the junior priest when arranging for someone to deliver meals to Xia Dabao.
Xia Dabao shook her head helplessly, “I don’t know why the three clans have to be so unhappy with each other, and I don’t care about your conflicts, but I’m worried about my brother. My brother is with the Chixia Clan while I’m here—who knows what they might do to my brother? If anything happens to him, my father will never let you off; he’ll slowly wipe out each and every one of you!”
Absolutely!
“Lady Dabao, you’re so young; don’t be so frightening,” laughed the junior priest. “It turns out the person you’re worried about is your brother. I thought it was Yun Xiao.”
“So what if I’m concerned about him? He’s so handsome, don’t all the ladies in the Southern Illumination Nation like him?” Xia Dabao said.
“But no lady from the Southern Illumination Nation dares to marry him unless it’s arranged by appointment. You’re the only one bold enough to spend time with him at Wolfdog Bay, even willing to bite your tongue for him,” said the junior priest before having someone set down the food.
“How about this? Since you’re so concerned about your brother, I’ll have someone find out where your brother is. If it’s convenient, I’ll just bring him here too.”
Xia Dabao was both angry and helpless, deeply blaming herself for not being able to leave this place.
…
In the evening, the junior priest came again.
Seeing the untouched meal on the table, he frowned, “Lady Dabao, you’re playing the hunger strike game? That’s not good.”
“It’s none of your business!” Xia Dabao retorted coldly.
“Okay, two pieces of news. First, your brother Axian has already been rescued, and second, Yun Xiao has returned to the Chixia Clan,” said the junior priest, as if coaxing a child.
Xia Dabao merely lifted her eyelids slightly, “Liar.”
“Why would I lie to you? It’s said that Axian was rescued by a tall man with exceptional Martial Arts skills. The Chixia Clan didn’t have a chance to react before they were defeated. They suspect that the man might not be from their clan, and might be…”
“Who?” Xia Dabao instantly became agitated at hearing “tall figure.”
“They say, it could be your father!”
“…” Xia Dabao guessed it might be her father as well.
If Axian really had been rescued, then she wouldn’t have to worry so much.
“And Yun Xiao? He didn’t have any trouble after returning, did he?”
“Do you think that’s possible?” countered the junior priest.
With that said, Xia Dabao understood, “The Clan Chief must have wanted to punish him, right?”
“Smart. He was afflicted by the Clan Chief of the Chixia Clan with the Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart Gu. If he’s not dead, he’s only left with half a life.”
Xia Dabao slumped into a seat.
Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart Gu?
