Chapter 533 Miao Holy Son x Miao Priest 6
Gu Yao felt that the days he spent living with Shen Juan passed by exceptionally quickly.
Even the daily medicinal baths didn't feel so uncomfortable to him.
After spending a long time with Shen Juan, Gu Yao gradually realized that Shen Juan was not very close to others in the main village.
The people in the village outwardly showed respect to Shen Juan.
But secretly they were on guard.
This barrier is two-way.
The people in the village were wary of Shen Juan, and Shen Juan was unwilling to get close to them.
He often just stayed in his small courtyard, teaching him to read and write, and raising poisonous insects and snakes.
Oh, speaking of which, Shen Juan has a very beautiful and powerful little white snake by her side.
The priest also gave it a very nice name—Cilin.
He was Gu Yao's only friend.
They became friends because of Ci Lin's "heroic act of righteousness".
Among the children forced to come from Xizhai was one of the people who used to bully Gu Yao in Xizhai. When he saw Gu Yao, he looked furious and made a move to hit him.
Ci Lin saw it, climbed onto Gu Yao's wrist, and stared coldly at the child with its vertical pupils. The next moment, screams rang out all around.
The snakes pounced on the child, who was over a meter tall, and swallowed him whole.
No one around dared to step forward.
Although the people of Miao region have been dealing with these things since childhood.
However, the sight of so many snakes intertwined still made one's heart tremble, and the way they looked at Gu Yao became strange.
Gu Yao watched as the swarm of snakes swallowed up the people who had just been shouting, and silently put away the knife in his hand.
I felt no pity whatsoever.
Even without Ci Lin, he would have stabbed this man through the neck with a single blow.
He hadn't forgotten how this person had bullied him back in Xizhai.
Her snowy eyes stared coldly at her enemy, who hadn't even left behind a corpse.
Gu Yao turned and walked towards his home.
He had already vaguely heard people saying he was cold-blooded, but who cared?
Since then, none of those precious candidates for sainthood have ever appeared before him again.
When they occasionally run into him, they always avoid him.
Gu Yao felt exceptionally comfortable; he had finally experienced what it meant to be a fox borrowing the tiger's power.
It was because of that maintenance that Gu Yao discovered that the little snake wasn't so scary after all, and he shamelessly tried to get close to it.
It can be considered quite effective.
Gu Yao is now eighteen years old.
I have been staying in this main village for many years.
He sensed something big was happening in the main village recently, and he vaguely knew it was related to him.
Or perhaps it's related to their children who have grown up.
Adhering to the principle of "since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it," Gu Yao carried the centipede he had just raised into the yard.
"Priest, come and see the wonderful creature I just raised."
Gu Yao pulled the fiery-colored centipede out of the bamboo basket. Its segmented body twisted between the boy's two fingers, its densely packed legs wriggling incessantly, displaying a beautiful, transparent amber color.
He looked eager to show off to Shen Juan.
The usually quiet courtyard was not empty except for Shen Juan.
There were also two old men.
The smile on Gu Yao's face vanished in an instant.
His gaze was fixed on the people in front of him. He put the centipede back into the bamboo basket and reluctantly bowed to them.
"Elder, Third Elder."
The Third Elder, with a kind expression, beckoned to Gu Yao, "This must be the child personally raised by the High Priest. Come here and let me see him."
Gu Yao lowered his head, feeling extremely unwilling, but unwilling to put himself in a difficult position, and was about to walk towards the two of them.
"return!"
Shen Juan spoke up at this moment.
Gu Yao spun around smoothly and turned around to walk behind Shen Juan.
They stood respectfully behind their priest.
With its head bowed, it looked extremely obedient.
The Third Elder's smile froze, his hand still frozen in mid-air, but he could only awkwardly lower it.
Shen Juan said calmly, "The child is shy."
It was just a casual remark, not even a perfunctory response.
Gu Yao was struggling to suppress his laughter.
The priest had never called him "child" since he was ten years old.
The Grand Elder didn't seem to care much and slowly stood up. "Then just remember to bring the person over."
He spoke to Shen Juan, but his gaze fell on Gu Yao.
Gu Yao tensed up, and Shen Juan stood up at the same time, subtly blocking the elder's scrutinizing gaze, her smile unchanged: "Elder, I'll see you off."
The elder withdrew his gaze and turned it back to Shen Juan. "No need. The high priest should give this child proper instructions."
The Third Elder stepped forward to help the First Elder, and the two left together.
Gu Yao breathed a heavy sigh of relief once the courtyard gate was closed.
He took the centipede out of the bamboo basket again, saying, "Priest, let me tell you, this centipede is a hundred times more poisonous than ordinary ones, and it can kill people."
Shen Juan gently pressed down on his wrist.
Gu Yao looked up in confusion.
But then Shen Juan sighed softly, "A Yao, do you know what day it is in three days?"
Gu Yao pursed his lips. "I know."
"Then you should know that this is a matter of life and death."
"I know."
Shen Juan's heart was clenched painfully, "If you don't want to..."
"Chen Juan, I want to go!"
Gu Yao interrupted Shen Juan.
Shen Juan was taken aback; this was the first time Gu Yao had called him by his name.
Gu Yao looked at him seriously and said, word by word, "I want to go!"
"I know you've dealt with most of my enemies over the years, but you need my help with your own affairs, don't you?"
Although his tone was questioning, Gu Yao was certain.
Shen Juan fell silent.
After a long silence, he finally spoke, "You will die."
Gu Yao smiled.
Perhaps it was the impending experience of facing death that emboldened him, and he did something he had always wanted to do.
Gu Yao took Shen Juan's hand.
His gaze was tender and devout. "Priest, whatever you wish to do, I will help you!"
"Gu Yao's name and his life were given to him by the High Priest, and he is willing to die for him."
Shen Juan's fingers curled up; he felt the hand holding him was unusually hot.
Gu Yao's current appearance is exactly what he has grown up to be.
They were completely devoted to him and utterly loyal.
It is a sharp and easy-to-use knife.
A knife capable of inflicting heavy damage on the entire Miao region.
But Chen Juan felt a pang of pain in her heart.
It seemed as if something important was about to leave him.
A voice brought Shen Juan back to her senses.
"I will become the Holy Son!"
"Whatever you wish to do, High Priest, Gu Yao will help you."
Shen Juan looked down and saw that under the dazzling sunlight, the boy's eyes were burning with intensity, and his expression was solemn and serious.
He should have been happy, but he couldn't bring himself to smile.
Gu Yao also kept his promise.
Ten young men and women entered the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave, but only Gu Yao came out alive.
