Chapter 149 Said
"You’re the Sacred Maiden of Miao Region?" After hearing Madam Xia’s words, everyone present was stunned.
They had never expected that she would have such an identity.
"Yes," Madam Xia nodded.
"But you’ve been away from the Miao Region for over sixty years. Why would someone still want you dead and plot such a sinister Poisonous Insect technique against you?" The ruthless glint in Old Master Xia’s eyes was evident as he asked.
"Probably the descendants or siblings of the Elder’s son from back then." Madam Xia suggested without displaying any of her worries, her face was quite calm.
"No wonder there’s no Sacred Maiden in the Miao Region now. So it turns out that grandma was the previous Sacred Maiden, and because the handover ceremony wasn’t held, a new Sacred Maiden couldn’t be chosen,"Xia Xi concluded, nodding in realization.
"Yes, to have a new Sacred Maiden, she must receive a blessing from the previous Sacred Maiden and the Power of the Saint Spirit. Otherwise, a Sacred Maiden without any ability is worse than not having one at all." Madam Xia likewise nodded her agreement.
"Wow, grandma, your background is really impressive," Xia Yue gawked, staring at Madam Xia.
"If we follow grandma’s suggestion, the master of this poisonous insect is likely a descendant of the previous Elder. The Elder would know how to cultivate the Ghost Poisonous Insect, possibly taught to the descendants," Xia Xi pondered.
"What do we do now? The enemy is hidden, and we are exposed—it’s quite challenging to guard against, let alone against the likes of these Poisonous Insects." Old Master Xia looked at Xia Xi as he spoke.
"I should probably carve a few jade amulets for everyone to wear. They can keep the Poisonous Insects away," Xia Xi suggested thoughtfully.
