Chapter 219: The Martial Arts Demon Saint 4
Gu Nanshan looked at Jiang Yao's bright smile, his brows slightly frowned, his mind moved, and the pain brought by the Tongxin Gu became even worse.
"Do you like to laugh?" Gu Nanshan glanced at Xiaoqing, and Xiaoqing brought Jiang Yao to Gu Nanshan.
"If the deputy leader doesn't like to see me laugh, then I won't laugh." Jiang Yao gritted her teeth and said a complete sentence. Fortunately, she didn't faint from the pain.
The poisonous insect gnawed and rammed at her heart. Every wave of pain made her eyes go dark, as if she was going to faint in the next second.
Gu Nanshan looked at Jiang Yao's calm appearance and finally took the insect.
"I heard that all the academic elders like you very much, and even the leader regards you as his own child." Gu Nanshan lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Yao. His tone was gentle, but it always gave people the feeling of a poisonous snake crawling on his body. "But you know who you are, right?"
After the pain in her heart faded away, Jiang Yao lowered her eyes and said, "I know."
"Your life is in my hands. If you don't listen to me, you will have to endure such pain. Do you understand?" As soon as Gu Nanshan finished speaking, Jiang Yao felt the same pain as if a needle was pricking her heart again. It was so fine and continuous that it made people feel suffocated.
The pain was not sharp, but it was unbearable.
Jiang Yao couldn't bear it anymore. She gasped for breath, trying to relieve the pain of her heart tightening, but the more she breathed, the more painful her heart felt. If she didn't breathe, she felt like she couldn't breathe.
Jiang Yao knew that what Gu Nanshan wanted was an answer. She clenched her hands tightly, her whole face turned pale, and she answered word by word: "I... know."
Only then did Gu Nanshan regain control of the Tongxin Gu with satisfaction, "If I find out that you have exposed this to other people, I will make you live, rather than die."
After saying this, Gu Nanshan left Jiang Yao's room.
As soon as Gu Nanshan left, Xiaoqing helped Jiang Yao up and calmly arranged the dishes for her: "If the Saint Girl had behaved herself better, the Deputy Leader would not have activated the Tongxin Gu."
Jiang Yao knew that Xiao Qing was Gu Nanshan's man. When she heard this, she curled her lips and revealed her childish side: "I just don't want to listen. He is always gentle to others, but he always uses the same heart Gu on me. It hurts a lot."
The look of grievance on her pretty little face is particularly adorable, and it makes people feel a little distressed.
Xiao Qing looked at Jiang Yao's appearance, and her usually calm face even had a hint of smile: "Does the Saint want to feel pain or be obedient?"
Jiang Yao raised her eyes to glance at Xiao Qing, picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food sullenly and said, "I don't want any of that."
Well, the saint is indeed stubborn, so Xiaoqing didn’t disturb Jiang Yao from eating.
Xiaoqing closed the door and left only after Jiang Yao finished washing up and lay down on the bed.
Jiang Yao, who was supposed to be asleep, suddenly opened the window and whispered, "Chongli!"
But a moment later, a dark figure appeared outside the window and took out a lunch box from his arms: "This is the mung bean cake from the food court you asked for."
The eyes and eyebrows not covered by the mask were the young man who had stopped Jiang Yao from opening the window before, and also one of the youngest secret guards of the Burning Heaven Sect - Chongli.
Jiang Yao happily took the lunch box, but at this time footsteps were heard not far away.
Chongli remained calm, and just as he was about to return to the roof, Jiang Yao grabbed his hand and said, "Chongli, come in."
"Saint, there's no need. I'll just hide on the eaves." Chongli lowered his eyes and glanced at Jiang Yao's hand that was holding the corner of his clothes. He pulled hard and the corner of his clothes was out. Then he disappeared.
As the footsteps were getting closer, Jiang Yao had no choice but to close the window and bring the food box to the table.
Chongli is a secret guard who only obeys the orders of the leader. Jiang Yao has maintained such a relationship with him since that time when she roasted a chicken. It’s not that she wants to be hungry, but Jiang Yao is really hungry.
Her appetite is much larger than that of ordinary people, and dinner is not enough for her alone.
She had raised this question to Xiaoqing before, but Xiaoqing told her that her food intake was determined by Gu Nanshan.
When Gu Nanshan answered her question, he only said that the amount of food was most suitable for her growth trend.
Forget it. Although her memory did not show it, Jiang Yao could roughly guess that her meals should be almost one-to-one matched with Nangong Shengyin's, in order to develop a similar body shape. If anything unexpected happened, she would be the one to protect Nangong Shengyin.
But can she and Nangong Shengyin have the same amount of exercise? Of course not.
So Jiang Yao secretly asked Chongli to prepare food for her every day. Anyway, the jewelry box and gold and silver were of no use to her in the church, so it was just right to give them to Chongli.
At first, Chongli was a little confused as to why Jiang Yao was always hungry, but he was not a talkative person. He just knew that he had to listen to Jiang Yao. Anyway, buying food would not affect the time or the matter.
After eating the mung bean cake, Jiang Yao washed up and fell into a sound sleep again.
Although Xiaoqing is Gu Nanshan's person, she knows that Jiang Yao cheats on her husband every night, but she did not report it to Gu Nanshan. Instead, she helps Jiang Yao deal with the situation.
This matter was exposed three and a half years later. Jiang Yao grew so fast that she grew a head taller every year and soon she was as tall as Xiaoqing's shoulders.
Gu Nanshan was angry that day and punished her and also severely reprimanded Xiaoqing.
She was just suffering from the heart-wrenching pain of the Tongxin Gu, but Xiaoqing was punished and thrown into the dungeon.
The dungeon of the Burning Heaven Sect is not a place for ordinary prisoners. There is a prison lord who specializes in punishing people. No one who goes in will have a intact place on his body when he comes out.
And that was also the first time she protested so strongly in front of Gu Nanshan.
She spat at him: "If you don't let Xiaoqing go, then I will go and beg my father!"
She endured the heart-wrenching pain, stood up and ran straight to the Burning Heaven Palace. On the way, she almost fainted from the pain of the Heart-Twining Gu.
But the study in the past three years allowed her to reach the Burning Heaven Palace.
She begged Jiang Chengtian to release Xiaoqing.
It was the first time that Jiang Chengtian saw Jiang Yao crying so hard, and he angrily scolded Gu Nanshan who followed him: "Xiaoqing just made a mistake, why did you take her to the dungeon? Come on, bring Xiaoqing back."
Fortunately, Jiang Yao came in time, and Xiaoqing brought it back intact.
Although she was tortured to death by Gu Nanshan using the Tongxin Gu, it was all worth it.
In the past, Xiaoqing would have advised her to be obedient, but now Xiaoqing would use magic to give her luck in the middle of the night to relieve the pain.
Jiang Yao achieved her goal and she succeeded.
In the Burning Heaven Sect, she cannot choose her own servants, and the most effective and direct way is to persuade Xiaoqing to rebel.
This way, it would be much easier for her to do things.
But Xiaoqing is not so easily turned against.
Xiaoqing was too soft-hearted and also failed to fulfill her responsibility by having a midnight snack.
What Jiang Yao has to do is to take all the responsibility for this mistake.
Since Xiaoqing was soft-hearted because of the incident of having a midnight snack, if he saw how tortured she was, he would definitely not stand idly by.
