"You said that the emperor and grandson asked you, do you want the filial piety of the small family, or the commitment of everyone?"

Peng Qiongyu nodded: "Yes, little sister, what do you mean by the emperor's grandson?"

Li Xinran hesitated for a moment and said: "That's right. Priest Miao came to our house for New Year's Eve dinner. The emperor and grandson knew about your acquaintance. He should be worried about what he would do if Priest Miao took you away. manage."

"Take it, take it away?" Peng Qiongyu looked confused, "Take it to where?"

"Go back to Nanyi." Li Xinran looked at Peng Qiongyu, "Priest Miao also said that her daughter was supposed to be the successor of Nanyi. As her daughter's descendant, she should take you back to Nanyi. "

"But..." Peng Qiongyu couldn't understand, "Didn't she already find Aya as her successor? Does she still need to take me with her?"

Li Xinran pondered: "Didn't you originally go to Priest Miao today to ask about her quarrel with Aya?"

Peng Qiongyu nodded, and Li Xinran continued: "But based on our previous understanding of Priest Miao, she is not someone who will have conflicts with Aya, because she needs Aya as her successor and has no other choice, so she chooses to swallow her anger. , I guess, she is also the kind of person with a very strong sense of responsibility. She does not allow Nanyi to have no successor in her hands. But someone who is willing to swallow her anger for Nanyi actually quarreled with Aya. You said, yes Because of what?"

Peng Qiongyu frowned: "Is it because...me?"

"Yes, even though Priest Miao doesn't know whether you will return to Nanyi with her or whether you have the talent to make poisonous insects, you are her daughter's only descendant. To her, you are already here. It’s a huge source of confidence.”

"What's wrong?" Li Xinran didn't hear Peng Qiongyu speak for a long time. When he looked up, he saw him pressing his lips tightly with a complicated look on his face.

Hearing Li Xinran's inquiry, Peng Qiongyu shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just..." He sighed longly, "I really don't know what to do. If I follow Priest Miao back to Nanyi, I won't be able to let you go. But if I stay here, Priest Miao..."

Li Xinran sighed softly, stood up, patted Peng Qiongyu on the shoulder, and prepared to leave.

"Why are you going?" Seeing that Li Xinran was about to leave, Peng Qiongyu was a little panicked, "Don't leave, help me think about it."

Li Xinran spread her hands: "I can't help you. You can only decide this kind of thing yourself. I can't help you at all." Looking at Peng Qiongyu's somewhat desperate face, Li Xinran silently suppressed her smile and gave him a "Take care." "With a look in his eyes, he turned and left.

The Chinese New Year in the Central Plains has nothing to do with the Nanyi people. They have their own New Year, and coincidentally, in two days, it will be the Nanyi New Year.

"Miss, do you want to go find the priest?" Xiao Guo looked at Aya who was sitting on the bed and breathing silently, and asked anxiously.

Aya stopped breathing for a long time and slowly opened her eyes. There was no emotion in her eyes: "What should I do to find her?"

Xiaoguo hesitantly found an excuse: "New Year is coming soon. She is a priest after all, and I heard that last night was New Year's Eve in the Central Plains. She had dinner with the people of Li Mansion..."

Hearing this, Aya frowned: "What's going on? If they Central Plains people don't finally have New Year's Eve dinner, why would they call that old man?"

"I don't know, miss, tell me, what if..."

Aya's eyes sharpened: "What?"

Xiaoguo cheered up and continued: "In case Li Xinran or Peng Qiongyu are the children of the priest's daughter, don't forget that you were injured in the first place..."

"Didn't you say it was the poisonous insect's backlash?" Aya frowned.

"That's what the priest said, but just in case..." Xiao Guo hesitated.

Aya frowned, and after a moment, she relaxed again and smiled disdainfully:

"So what? Do they know how to raise Gu?"

"But what if...the priest wants to teach them?"

Aya sneered, "She is old and will die soon. If her daughter hadn't raised the golden Gu for her, she would have died more than ten years ago!"

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes: "If it weren't for it," her voice began to choke, "if she hadn't eaten the golden poison and saved her life, I would have been a priest long ago and entered the priest's house. !My brother won’t die either! It’s all her, why did she live for so long!”

Tears slowly slid down from Aya's eyes and along her cheeks. The crystal clear tears showed Aya's unwillingness.

"Miss..." Xiao Guo came up and handed a handkerchief distressedly, "My condolences to you, miss. Even in heaven, the young master would not want to see the miss so sad."

"Xiao Guo..." Aya leaned gently in her arms and cried until she cried, "I'm so tired, really so tired. You've seen how much I've sacrificed to be a qualified saint. But just like this, my brother still died unexpectedly, and the priest did not allow the investigation of the murderer to avenge my brother. Now he has taken back all my Gu insects and wants to kill me." Her eyes flashed with hatred, and she gritted her teeth, " What mother said is indeed true, she is just a heartless old woman, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to force her daughter to elope with someone back then, and now she is here to persecute me again, why doesn’t she die!”

After gritting her teeth and cursing, she fell softly into Xiaoguo's arms, tears welling up in her eyes: "If I could, I wouldn't want to be this saint. How wonderful it would be to be able to travel around the mountains and rivers with the one I love. But, I can't be as selfish as that old woman, the people of Nanyi are still waiting for me, even if I have to give everything, it is deserved."

"Miss..." Xiaoguo was deeply moved, "You are really too kind. As the saying goes, if you are bullied for your kindness, you are just too kind."

"You're right," Aya sat up slowly and wiped away her tears slowly, "People who are too kind will be ignored and bullied. I can't let them go anymore."

"Miss!" Xiaoguo looked at Aya with joy and excitement, "You finally cheered up!"

Aya snorted softly: "You are right. If they are the children of the priest's daughter, if the old immortal has a hot head and insists on passing the position to his own blood, then Nanyi will be destroyed. . We Nanyi people have been inhabited by capable people since ancient times, but the capable people in the past were just from their direct lineage, but it does not mean that they are from their direct lineage."

"That's what the lady said!" Aya was equally indignant. "This kind of thing is only for those who are capable. Why should they treat it as their own?"

"You're right, I'm going to start planning for myself, Xiaoguo!"

"Slave here!"

"Send a message to the elders, telling them that the descendants of the former saint have been found, but they do not have the ability to refine Gu, but the priest insists on deposing me and canonizing them as holy successors!"

"Yes!"
