Ever since the Holy Maiden saved her, he brought them into his secret room. If it wasn't for the fact that they met today, she wouldn't be able to remember this woman's original appearance.
”But, where is my Holy Maiden?”
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something? She suddenly looked towards Bai Zhixi, only to see that her eyes were exceptionally familiar, but she was unable to recall it at all.
”Your Holy Maiden, she …”
”Ah Man, is Holy Maiden awake?”
Just as Bai Zhixi wanted to explain, he was interrupted by a rough male voice.
”What should we do?” Great Elder, Second Elder, and the others have come? ”
Hearing that, Ah Man's pretty face was filled with worry. Holy Maiden had instructed her to protect this woman well no matter what.
Now that the location of Holy Maiden was unknown and the Great Clan Elder and the rest were watching him like tigers stalking their prey, what should they do?
”Wanda, open the door.”
Just as she was in a rush to circle around, she suddenly heard Bai Zhixi saying that.
”Sister Ah Man, my Miss has a way to get out of this predicament.” You don't have to worry. Hurry down and open the door. Otherwise, the Great Elder would have suspected something. ”
Seeing her standing there dumbstruck, Hong Dan laughed and pushed her out.
”We pay our respects to Grand Elder and Second Elder!” Holy Maiden still hasn't woken up. ”
A'man hastily ran down the stairs and saluted respectfully as he looked at the dark faces of the Great Elder and the others standing in the yard.
However, her hands were tightly wringing her clothes, which already betrayed how nervous she was right now.
”Where's the Holy Maiden? After resting for two days, you can see that the situation has turned for the better. ”
The second elder took in all of her movements and looked towards the closed door. He stared at her with bright eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.
However, he did not point it out. Instead, he calmly asked …
”Reporting to Second Elder, ever since I returned from the Sacrificial Altar, this servant has been feeding the Holy Maiden medicine every day on time. However, I have not woken up yet, so I guess Miss Ling'er's stab was too deep.”
After Ah Man finished speaking, she started crying a little, as if the Holy Maiden was really unable to wake up.
The matter of Gu Ling'er assassinating the Holy Maiden was known by the entire village.
”Weng, you have to tell the truth. You have to know that the God won't let anyone who tells lies off.”
The Second Clan Elder squinted his tiny eyes and looked at maidservant who was sweating profusely. His black eyes revealed a profound meaning.
”Second Elder, what this servant said is the truth. I absolutely do not dare to offend the gods.”
She thought that she was calm enough. Could it be that the Second Elder was able to see through her?
”Alright, go back and take good care of Holy Maiden.”
The Second Elder glanced at her and said indifferently.
After being freed, Ah Man did not dare to delay any longer. After bowing to them, she hurriedly ran to the second floor.
”Wait a minute!”
Suddenly, the Great Elder's cold voice sounded from behind her, forcing her to stop.
”I will still personally go and see if the Holy Maiden is safe and sound, and only then will I be able to make up for the guilt in my heart. After all, it was my daughter who injured her.”
When the Great Clan Elder finished speaking, he did not give Ah Man a chance to speak. He went around her and walked towards Gu Yi's room with big strides.
Seeing that the Head Elder and the rest had climbed up to the second floor, she did not think too much and quickly followed them. She did not want to be stopped by the guards outside the door.
She was extremely afraid. If she was met with the Great Clan Elder today, she would definitely die, so much so, that she did not even know whether Holy Maiden was alive or dead. She would not have the face to see her again on the Road to River Styx.
As he thought of this, he closed his eyes in despair, and tears started streaming down his face.
”Weng, take good care of Holy Maiden!”
After a long while, when she thought that she was definitely going to die, she heard the cold voice of the Great Elder coming from inside the house.
She abruptly opened her eyes and saw the Great Elder angrily walking out. She was so shocked that she quickly lowered her head and greeted him.
”Ah Man, take this thousand year old ginseng to nourish Holy Maiden's body. Let her rest well.”
The Second Elder handed over a black box to A Man. Inside the box was a thousand-year-old ginseng.
It was just that A Man found it strange that the Second Elder, who always had a grudge with the Holy Maiden, would suddenly gift such a precious ginseng.
”You can be at ease and let Holy Maiden eat it. She is also my niece, so it is reasonable for me to protect her. But these few years, we uncles have let her down and caused her a lot of harm. After experiencing this incident, he had thought it through and only wanted to protect my elder brother's only bloodline. Alright, you should go in and take care of Holy Maiden! ”
The Second Elder seemed to have seen through her suspicions. A heartbroken expression was plastered on his aged face. Under such circumstances, anyone would have thought that he was doing it for his niece.
Compared to the Great Elder's fierce selfishness, the Second Elder was obviously more popular.
”This servant thanks the Second Elder on behalf of the Holy Maiden!”
With a heart full of joy, Ah Man hugged the ginseng and thanked the Second Elder. She was happy for the Holy Maiden. All these years, she had finally found a family member.
How could the inexperienced A'man know that it was this horrible black box that had taken her life?
She had just turned around when the second elder's benevolent smile disappeared and was replaced with endless indifference and ruthlessness.
After a long while, he watched as the door was tightly shut before leaving slowly.
