Chapter 831: Chapter 831: Who is the Mysterious Person?

Everyone did not see it, but under the cloak, the Gu Master’s cinnabar nails became increasingly bright.

Having dealt with Wu Yunlan, the Gu Master sat down again, casting a faint glance at the decaying Four Holy Maidens.

"I never expected such filthy tactics in the sacred competition; everyone must take this as a warning. Now, with only ten days left in the Saintess competition, whoever can create the most powerful Gu insects will succeed me. As for any other tricks, don’t even think about it, otherwise, Wu Yunlan’s fate today will be your fate tomorrow."

"Yes." Including Wu Nuan, all the Saintesses knelt down and kowtowed.

The Gu Master then stood up again: "I am going to enter seclusion once more, do not disturb me in these seven days."

"Yes, we send our respects, Gu Master." Wu Nuan looked at the departing figure of the Gu Master with neither joy nor sadness, suppressing her inner turmoil.

The three Saintesses also sighed in relief.

In fact, they were peers with Wu Nuan; Wu Yunlan, who was a generation higher, always used her status to suppress them.

They had thought that this competition would result in Wu Yunlan inheriting the Gu Master’s position, and their hearts shuddered as they glanced at those skeletons.

The Gu Master’s methods are can be likened to thunder; Wu Yunlan was after all the Great Elder’s favored disciple, yet the Gu Master showed no mercy and killed without hesitation.

The crowd sounded an unconscious alarm, reminding themselves that they must not make any missteps in their quest for victory.

They composed themselves and looked at Wu Nuan with concern.

"Are you alright?"

"We were not around when you were ambushed, we are sorry."

The Saintesses had no sympathy for the death of Wu Yunlan, but they instead expressed warmth and concern towards Wu Nuan.

But ultimately, they were competitors, and their concern was merely a matter of courtesies.

Wu Nuan shook her head lightly and merely stated she was fine, causing everyone to quiet down again before one of them, looking at the Maids still kneeling in the hall, asked.

"What should we do with these two? The Gu Master did not decide their fate just now."

"Still, they conspired against you, so it’s only right that you should decide their fate."

Wu Nuan nodded at the three, acknowledging their kindness, then turned to the two Maids of Wu Yunlan: "You two can return to the foot of the mountain and live as ordinary Gu People."

The two had thought that they would spend the rest of their lives at Reflection Cliff, and were astonished that Wu Nuan would show them mercy. They thanked her profusely before supporting each other as they left.

The other Saintesses did not expect Wu Nuan to spare them, thinking it unwise to leave the roots... But as it was not their concern, they said nothing and exchanged a few more words with Wu Nuan before leaving.

When there were no outsiders left, Wu Nuan’s two personal Little Maids rushed up to her with concern.

Just as they were about to start complaining, Wu Nuan stopped them with a look: "It’s fine, let’s go back."

The two intelligent Little Maids immediately caught on and awkwardly fell silent.

Wu Nuan’s courtyard was near the Divine Temple, and they quickly reached their domain.

Once in her own courtyard, Wu Nuan finally spoke: "What happened after that day, how did you manage to turn Wu Yunlan’s Maids?"

Truthfully, she had never expected the Maids to switch sides.

She thought there would be a fierce battle today, but her Maids had helped her instead.

"It was all thanks to that fierce girl."

"?": Wu Nuan showed a rare expression of confusion; had she missed something?

The two Maids recounted today’s encounter to Wu Nuan, leaving her deep in thought.

Who exactly was this mysterious woman?
