The Imperial Tutor glanced coldly at the High Priest who entered, he was talking about the Ling Empire’s matter on the surface, but it was actually for the sake of Song Li.
He wanted to change the topic to give Song Li a chance, but he had looked down on him, did he think it would simply be over?”
”That’s enough, I have my own plans over this matter,” The Imperial Tutor interrupted the High Priest, he shifted his sight back to Song Li who had heaved a sigh of relief after the High Priest entered.
Song Li had goosebumps after sensing a sinister gaze looking towards her, she instantly felt icy cold.
She had never sensed such icy coldness on someone before, it was as if she would die in the hands of this man at the next moment, such a feeling was terrible.
The High Priest felt a chill in his heart, he knew he was unable to fulfill his thoughts, he hurriedly said: “Imperial Tutor, Li Li is still young and ignorant. Please give her another chance.”
Song Li lifted her head and looked at her master, her eyes were filled with disbelief, her lofty master had actually lowered his head to this man for her sake: “Master......”
The High Priest glanced at Song Li, but that glanced had caused the gratefulness in Song Li’s heart to instantly vanish without a trace.
It’s because the coldness in his gaze was not inferior to the Imperial Tutor’s.
The Imperial Tutor walked to the main seat and sat down, his eyes were filled with what seemed to be a smile as he looked at the High Priest: “There are no free lunches in this world, I wonder what the High Priest wishes to use as an exchange?”
”This......” The High Priest suddenly hesitated, he knew what the Imperial Tutor was implying, but he had obtained that item with much difficulty.
He glanced at Song Li and subconsciously furrowed his brows, it seems that he was unwilling to take that item out.
Although the Imperial Tutor did not say anything, he could tell based on the High Priest’s expression, the corner of his mouth curled up, his voice was filled with a mocking tone: “It’s a real pity, it seems that she won’t be able to live. Men......”
”No. Master, please save me,” Song Li opened her eyes widely in fear. She was unable to imagine that her path which almost reached the summit had suddenly turned out like this.
She did not know what the Imperial Tutor wanted from her master’s hands, but seeing her master acting that way, it was definitely very important, she was not certain if he would save her.
She immediately crawled to the High Priest’s side, she grabbed his clothes as she pleaded.
However, because of her mood fluctuations, it triggered the Gu worm in her body, she immediately screamed.
”Argh, master, save me, I do not wish to die,” Song Li rolled on the ground in pain, she did not seem to be pretending.
The Imperial Tutor raised his brows, he arrived at Song Li’s side in a few steps, he looked at her twisted expression: “How interesting.”
Being able to be accepted as an apprentice of the High Price, her talents were naturally not bad, but she had actually ended up like this, he felt really surprised.
Song Li felt a chill, she was already in such a condition but this man had actually said it was interesting?
The High Priest looked solemnly at Song Li: “The Gu worm in you is incurable.”
”What? It can’t be, master. I beg you to save me,” Song Li howled in pain, her gaze when she looked at the High Priest was filled with fear.
The High Priest’s gaze when looking at Song Li became a little more enthusiastic: “Who planted this Gu worm on you?”
Song Li subconsciously curled up, she gritted her teeth and said in pain: “Someone from the Nan Family.”
Nan Family? There was a shred of doubt flashing in the High Priest’s eyes, he then opened his eyes widely: “You’re talking about the Nan Family that was massacred more than a decade ago? There is someone alive?”
”Yes, that child who was chosen by the Gu King at that time, he has grown up right now, furthermore...... Furthermore, his Gu skills have reached the acme of perfection,” Thinking about Nan Yu’s Gu skills, Song Li felt even more painful.
The High Priest was initially thinking that if he knew who the capable was, he could bring him back and cheat him of his Gu skills, but who knew it was someone from the Nan Family.
At that time, the child from the Nan Family was already around ten years of age, he had already reached the age where he recognizes his surroundings. If he wanted to bring him back and obtain what he wanted from his mouth, he was afraid it would not work out.
The Imperial Tutor had a calm expression as he watched the High Priest having wild thoughts, there was a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth: “I suddenly have a good idea, it’s not bad to let her endure such excruciating pain.”
