Shang Ruoyi came to Ye Lao's yard.

"What's that smell?" Shang Ruoyi sniffed it and said, "It smells good."

"Gu incense." Ye Lao said calmly, "It is made by burning the Gu insects and mixing them with other spices. The smell will make you feel refreshed and beneficial to your body and mind."

"Just now you said that many families in southern Xinjiang who raise Gu are here to save people. You are proficient in Gu techniques. I wonder which family in southern Xinjiang are you from?"

Old Ye waved his hands and said, "I am not proficient in Gu techniques. In Southern Xinjiang, there are many different Gu techniques, and I have only learned the basics." He sighed and said, "As for my family, I won't talk about it."

"You put it that way, and I'm even more curious." Shang Ruoyi said with a smile, "What's the reason?"

"The Ye family in Southern Xinjiang has already disappeared. In my generation, I am the only one left." Old Ye said in a low voice: "I have no wife or children, I am all alone. After a hundred years of my life, the Ye family will have completely disappeared."

Since this was a sad topic, Shang Ruoyi didn't want to poke holes in other people's wounds: "It's the junior who was presumptuous."

"No problem." Ye Lao smiled and said, "I came to you today to tell you something."

"Explain?" Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly: "You want to leave?"

"I have to go back to Southern Xinjiang. I have some things to take care of." Old Ye said with a serious look, "You have been busy these days. There are some things I should have told you a long time ago."

"All ears."

"There is one more thing you need to know about Tianyin Sect." Ye Lao said in a low voice: "The leader of Tianyin Sect is the former Saintess of Southern Xinjiang."

"The Saintess of Southern Border?"

"Yes, only the Saint of Southern Border has such outstanding Gu skills." Elder Ye said in a low voice: "Only the Saint can raise the King of Ten Thousand Gu, because the Saint has been nurtured with the blood of Gu worms since her mother. After she is born, she will take the blood of various Gu Kings to develop the Holy Body of Ten Thousand Gu. The Saint's status in Southern Border is comparable to that of the Emperor of Southern Border."

Shang Ruoyi was a little puzzled: "Then why did she give up being a saint and establish the Tianyin Sect?"

"I don't know the whole story." Ye Lao said calmly, "But once the Saint of Southern Xinjiang consummates her marriage with a man, she will be stripped of her position as a Saint. It is said that she left Southern Xinjiang to gain experience, and when she returned to Southern Xinjiang a few years later, she was driven out of her position as a Saint by the royal family. It is said that she has given birth to a child, but no one knows who the man is or where the child is."

Hearing him say this, Shang Ruoyi narrowed her eyes slightly, as if something was connected in her mind.

Xiao Zhenzhen said that He Jinghe was the grandson of the sect master. The old princess revealed the identities of He Jinghe and his father He Ning'an in the place of exile. He Ning'an was born to a prostitute. After giving birth to He Ning'an, the prostitute was driven out, leaving only the mother and the child.

Could it be!

"There is one more thing, I would like you to help me solve."

"You said."

"Saintess of Southern Border, besides raising Gu, do you have any other abilities?"

Elder Ye frowned slightly and whispered, "The other abilities you mentioned are the special skills?"

Sure enough, Mr. Ye also knew about it.

"Compared to the energy in your body, that magic is nothing. But the curse is very difficult to break. Your mother was cursed at the beginning. I couldn't help her break it, and her health got worse and worse." He said with some regret: "Plus, she put all her energy into love, and her body energy was exhausted, and she died."

"How do you get the energy for your body?"

"I'm afraid only you know this." Ye Lao said calmly, "I observed the stars at night and saw that chaos is slowly gathering. We don't have much time left."

"I see."

Returning to her own courtyard, Shang Ruoyi felt heavy in her heart. Although she now understood the identity of the sect leader, she still felt that something was strange.

When she arrived at the space, He Jinghe was still in a coma. Shang Ruoyi snapped her fingers, and the restraining force of the space disappeared. He Jinghe's breathing frequency became noticeably faster. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion.

Where is this?

He Jinghe's eyes were fixed on a familiar figure in the distance.

"Shang, Shang Ruoyi?"

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Why, you were unconscious for a day and you don't even recognize people?"

"Where is this?" He said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do? I tell you, you'd better let me go now, otherwise, my grandmother will tear you into pieces!"

"Your grandmother was just a prostitute of your grandfather. Even if she was the Saint of Southern Border, it was who knows how many years ago. If you die, Tianyin Sect will have no successor and will be destroyed sooner or later." Shang Ruoyi's eyes were dripping with a playful look: "You have the nerve to mention your grandmother's background. If I were you, I would have found a place where no one knows me and hid away long ago."

"Shut up!" He Jinghe said angrily, "What do you know? My grandmother is not a prostitute. She is of noble status. She came to Tianshun with that status. She is the Saint of Southern Xinjiang. Do you know what a saint is? She is the most noble woman in the world. You have never even seen her. What qualifications do you have to say that about her! After my grandmother, there will never be anyone more noble than her in Southern Xinjiang, and there will never be another saint."

"The most noble woman?" Shang Ruoyi sneered: "What's so difficult about this sentence? I can say it too. Besides, how do you know that I haven't seen the Saint?" Shang Ruoyi smiled: "You have seen her before. The Queen of Tianshun is the next Saint after your grandmother."

"What did you say?"

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I said, the queen is the saint who will come after your grandmother."

As soon as she finished speaking, He Jinghe's face turned extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you sure?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Not bad."

He Jinghe staggered a few times, then laughed: "So that's it, so that's it!"

Shang Ruoyi saw that he looked a little crazy and frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

He Jinghe pretended not to hear and continued to laugh, and tears began to flow as he laughed.

"It turns out that you have been using me from the beginning to the end, hahahaha." He lay on his back on the ground with empty eyes.

Shang Ruoyi narrowed her eyes slightly. For some reason, she felt a little panic in her heart, as if something bad was going to happen, and as time passed, this feeling became stronger.

"He Jinghe, stand up and explain yourself." Shang Ruoyi said coldly, "If you tell the truth, I might spare your life."

He Jinghe supported himself and sat up, his face full of mockery: "I won't tell you, if I tell you it will be worthless, you will still want my life, besides." He looked at his palm and sneered: "I am a rotten life now, it is of no use to me whether I live or not."
