I've been bullied and humiliated for thirteen years; when I wake up, I'll be bloodthirsty.

Chapter 569 There is no return

Lu Yangyang naturally did not want to see Miao territory fall into the hands of the Crown Prince.

I can't manipulate people's hearts and treat human life like dirt, just like His Highness.

However, it's not that there's no way to solve this.

Lu Yangyang made a straightforward suggestion: "Tell me how to get to Yuechuan Kingdom, and I'll go and kill the Crown Prince."

"what?"

Grandma Yin was over sixty years old, and she almost couldn't hold back when she heard Lu Yangyang's words.

Yin Caiping, the resident of Yinhua Village, was also so shocked that she stood up abruptly, looking at Lu Yangyang in disbelief: "Miss Lu, this is no joke!"

Lu Yangyang said, "I really can't think of a better way. You are hesitant to take action because you are afraid of implicating Miao Jiang, and even more afraid that the Crown Prince will expose your secret. So let's cooperate to solve this problem first, and then think of a solution. It's better than having a knife hanging over our heads and not knowing what will happen next, right?"

Under the other party's shocked gaze, Lu Yangyang thought for a moment and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you were probably planning to kill the Crown Prince first and then cover it up without anyone knowing. However, you are afraid to take action because of the Crown Prince's status, which has led to the current dilemma."

"But now that the secret is no longer a secret, there's no point in you hiding it anymore, right?"

The Kingdom of Yuechuan was originally a closely guarded secret in Miao territory, but from the moment His Highness entered Miao territory, it was no longer a secret.

That's why the people in Miao territory are so terrified.

That's why His Highness is so fearless.

"If it can really be as you say, it's certainly better than the current stalemate."

Granny Yin understood the crux of the matter perfectly well: "Miss Lu, you may not know that Yuechuan Kingdom is dangerous. Even if you enter Yuechuan Kingdom, you may not be able to kill His Highness, let alone... come back alive."

"The Gu techniques of the Miao region are not something everyone knows, but in the Yuechuan Kingdom, everyone knows them. The Yuechuan Kingdom is full of rare flowers and exotic herbs, making it a sacred place for cultivating Gu worms. Ordinary people who go there may not even know how they died. The Yuechuan Kingdom has remained undiscovered to this day, not because the Miao region is guarding its secrets, but because those who mistakenly enter the Yuechuan Kingdom have all disappeared without a trace. There may be a way to enter the Yuechuan Kingdom, but it is almost impossible to survive there unless one possesses holy blood and is favored by the Gu God. Otherwise, no matter who it is, they will never return."

"What is Holy Blood?" This was the first time Lu Yangyang had ever heard of such a strange and unusual thing.

Her aunt once taught her that human blood is only differentiated by blood type, so how could there be different types?

Having said what could and could not be said, Granny Yin no longer held back: "The reason why the Miao people can practice Gu techniques is because of the Holy Bloodline. That is why there is such a thing as spirituality. The closer the bloodline is to the Holy Bloodline, the more spirituality one possesses in Gu techniques. Conversely, there is no spirituality, and one cannot raise the best Gu worms. Gu worms also have spirituality. Truly powerful Gu worms can be driven as weapons, but the prerequisite is that the bloodline is attractive to the Gu worms."

Granny Yin glanced at Yin Caiping, who immediately turned and went into the inner room. She quickly came out with several boxes, some made of wood and some of porcelain.

Granny Yin opened the lids one by one, and several Gu worms poked their heads out, but quickly retreated, only to poke their heads out again.

Granny Yin reached out towards one of the boxes, and soon, a scorpion-like insect crawled out and landed on Granny Yin's palm. Instead of biting her, it affectionately rubbed against Granny Yin's palm.

This was the first time Lu Yangyang had ever seen a Gu worm, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This is also a Gu worm?"

"Yes, it's a Golden Tooth Scorpion. If you're bitten by it, you'll be paralyzed within a quarter of an hour, and you'll definitely die within an hour," Granny Yin said.

Then, after putting his hand back, the worms quickly crawled back into the box.

Granny Yin frowned slightly and put the lids back on the Gu worms.

Yin Caiping, standing to the side, remarked curiously, "It's strange today; these Gu worms seem rather restless."

Granny Yin said to Lu Yangyang, "Miss, you see? Almost everyone in Yuechuan Kingdom raises Gu worms like this. If you go to Yuechuan Kingdom alone, you will be in great danger."

Lu Yangyang wasn't frightened: "If that's really the case, then there must be a way to control it."

Granny Yin was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said, "Young lady is indeed wise. Most Gu worms do have methods to restrain them, but the reason a Gu becomes a Gu is because of the battle between thousands of poisonous insects. Therefore, to restrain it, you need a stronger Gu worm. I am not confident that the most powerful Gu in my Miao region can compare with the Gu worms of Yuechuan Kingdom. Do you understand what I mean, young lady?"

Lu Yangyang understood: "You are responsible for your own life and death."

"Yes, you are responsible for your own life and death." Granny Yin replied calmly, "Therefore, I do not wish for you to risk your life."

"So, Granny wants me to help persuade the authorities that you can be punished as the main culprits, but the younger generation doesn't know about this and hopes they can be spared." Lu Yangyang looked at Granny Yin and asked, "Is this Granny's idea, or Chief Li's idea?"

After listening to the confusing explanation for a while, Li Shisan and Hua Rui exchanged an uneasy glance. Li Shisan asked, "Second Elder, you...you want to take the blame? How can that be! If there is a crisis in Miao territory, everyone has a responsibility. We should work together to shoulder the burden!"

Grandma Yin couldn't help but shake her head with a smile.

He bowed to Lu Yangyang once again: "I really didn't expect that with just a few words, you would understand my thoughts so clearly."

There was no point in continuing to play guessing games now. Granny Yin looked at the people inside the room and said to the inner room, "Come out."

Chief Li came out from the inner room.

"Grandfather!" Li Shisan jumped up, looking at Chief Li, who had appeared in the room, in disbelief. "You, you, what, what exactly is going on?"

Chief Li waved his hand to tell him not to speak, then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Lu Yangyang: "Young lady is intelligent. From the moment you entered the council hall, you were observing us. Similarly, I was also observing you. Although I cannot be certain, the fact that you said you could kill the Crown Prince just now proves one thing. Your identity is not simple."

From the moment Li Shisan told him about this last night, and he asked Li Shisan about Mingruo and the others' backgrounds, to learning today that Mingruo came from the Salt Gang, and then to Lu Yangyang not showing any panic when she mentioned the Crown Prince, it is clear that she has an extraordinary background and is not afraid of the Crown Prince.

So he deliberately let Granny Yin lead them here, firstly to further test Lu Yangyang, and secondly to cooperate with her.
