Chapter 753: Wu Nuan’s Uncle

Chapter 753: Chapter 753: Wu Nuan’s Uncle

Li Wenli dragged out the tail of her words in a deliberately annoying manner.

Manager Qiao took the bait, his face tense, "But what?"

"It seems she has a senior sister or a senior uncle, anyway, an elder. That elder probably competes with her and targets her quite a bit. Moreover, the changes that occurred when capturing the traitor were caused by that elder. If it weren’t for our Ah Dao’s help, Wu Nuan probably would have died long ago."

Li Wenli described it in an extremely exaggerated fashion, and Manager Qiao listened with a heavy expression on his face.

"It must be Wu Yunlan, Xiao Nuan has always had a bad relationship with her."

"Probably..."

In fact, the people from An County did not introduce themselves, and Li Wenli, fearing saying more would lead to more errors, simply glossed over it.

However, Manager Qiao managed to deduce Wu Nuan’s situation from just a few words, and couldn’t help beating his chest and stomping his feet with frustration, "Xiao Nuan must have joined the Saintess competition. I warned her repeatedly not to get involved, but she went anyway."

"The Saintess competition?" Bai Junjun raised an eyebrow. She had vaguely heard that the competition for the Saintess successors among the sixteen altars of Witch Ancestor Mountain was fierce. She had taken it as mere idle gossip at the time, and had not expected there to be a sequel now.

"They say outsiders all know about the fierce infighting; I’m afraid the actual situation is even more complex than the rumors. Wu Nuan doesn’t have it easy."

Bai Junjun’s jab brought tears to Manager Qiao’s eyes.

"That silly girl! She must have done this for my sake!"

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli exchanged a glance, feeling like after a series of twists and turns, they suddenly found hope in a desperate situation.

"Manager Qiao, if I may be so bold to ask, what is your relationship with Miss Nuan?"

"I am her uncle."

Manager Qiao’s face was filled with sorrow, "Years ago, my brother and sister-in-law died while saving me, leaving only the infant Wu Nuan behind. I raised her as my own, bringing her up through hardship. We were forced to separate two years ago and haven’t seen each other since."

"Why did you separate?"

Manager Qiao seemed to want to speak but as if avoiding something, he moved his mouth but remained silent.

"You’ve come this far, do you still plan on saying nothing? Have you ever thought, while you’re here risking life and limb for others, Wu Nuan is risking her life just for the chance to see you again? Your actions force me to doubt whether you truly love Wu Nuan."

Manager Qiao’s body shook, and after a while, he sadly said, "If I really told you, it wouldn’t be just me who’d die. You would be in danger too."

"Does Witch Ancestor Mountain have three heads and six arms? Can it hear what you’re saying here?"

Manager Qiao looked up at the two naive people, "The people of Witch Ancestor Mountain are skilled in Witchcraft and Gu Technique. The snakes, insects, mice, and ants of the world can all be utilized by them. Don’t think that these insects are only good for poisoning, they are equivalent to Witch Ancestor Mountain’s Clairvoyance and Following Wind Ear, eavesdropping on everything in the world."

"I thought it was something else. It turns out you’re worried about bug tricks," Bai Junjun waved dismissively, "Coincidentally, Witch Ancestor Mountain specializes in controlling bugs, and we happen to have someone here who specializes in eating bugs. Haven’t you noticed that even mosquitoes are rare in our yard?"

"..." Manager Qiao.

He, a prisoner who had just had his Lifebound Gu removed, didn’t have time to think of an escape, let alone pay attention to whether there were mosquitoes in the surroundings...

Bai Junjun, seeing his speechless face and thinking he didn’t believe her, snapped her fingers toward the window.

A plant that had been standing guard in the yard scurried over and poked its head into the room.

The round and chubby Sepal, one stacked upon another, looked quite adorable.

Manager Qiao was dumbfounded by the sight of this creature that resembled grass, an insect, and an animal all at once.
