Chapter 1158 The Way of Getting Along
Ah Dao saw Wu Nuan's grave expression and quietly walked to her side to offer some comfort, but with corpse blood all over his hands and body, he awkwardly withdrew his hand, simply accompanying Wu Nuan in silence.
As if understanding why Wu Nuan and Manager Qiao came here, Ah Dao said,
"When we were facing off, I saw at least four or five hundred people from Wu Zu Mountain opposite us, but their state was the same as others, already abnormal."
He had seen such living corpses in the tomb of the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord, so he clearly knew these people no longer had life signs.
Even if they showed mercy, these people could not be restored.
Manager Qiao sighed: "I was mentally prepared when I heard Qiu Da mention the Poisoned Man attack, coming over now is just to send them off."
Barring any accidents, only the two of them remained from Wu Zu Mountain.
No one expected that Wu Zu Mountain, which had balanced and dominated this place for so long, would end with only these two "traitors" left, and from now on, the Witch Tribe lineage would decline.
"Who did this?" Wu Nuan spoke for the first time since coming here.
"Yuwen Jun."
Wu Nuan naturally knew Yuwen Jun, as she had dealt with him before when she was the Saintess.
He was quite familiar with the Gu Master, who even gave him a passage order token, which was a privilege only at the Elder Level.
But they couldn't control the Gu Master's affairs; as the ancestor said, those not of our kind are sure to have different hearts. Eventually, Wu Zu Mountain was indeed messed up by this outsider.
Although the Gu Master brought this upon himself, the ones who ultimately suffered were the Gu People in the mountains.
"Alright, don't overthink, let's help bury them together."
Manager Qiao patted his niece, and Wu Nuan nodded lightly.
In the distance, Xiao Chan ran over: "Brother Ah Dao, we found corpses in the bamboo pit ahead; should we retrieve them?"
"Hmm," Ah Dao nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll go."
After all, Xiao Chan and the others were young, and the trap area was dangerous; he was more experienced in handling such situations.
Ah Dao saluted Manager Qiao and was about to leave when Wu Nuan called him back.
"Wait."
"Hmm?"
Ah Dao turned back in puzzlement, only to catch a whiff of a familiar fragrance as Wu Nuan took out a handkerchief from her chest and carefully wiped the corpse blood off his cheek.
Wu Nuan raised her eyes to him: "The blood might contain Gu poison, be careful."
In that instant, the usually emotionally reserved Ah Dao bent his eyes and smiled, nodding in response: "You be careful too."
Manager Qiao felt relieved seeing this.
These two youngsters did care for each other after all.
Speaking of which, among the three married couples at the Immortal Mansion, the Fox and the young lady were well-known. The Fox was like the young lady's loyal dog, following her everywhere. His enthusiasm made everyone feel overly sweetened.
As for Yuwen Luanfei and Wenren Pingting, that was another story. Pingting's care for her husband was truly meticulous, her gentleness and virtue showed their harmony and happiness at a glance.
And Ah Dao and Wu Nuan?
Ah Dao was a taciturn ice block, and Wu Nuan also had a cold demeanor. Manager Qiao was afraid they might freeze each other to death.
Usually, everyone actively tried to matchmake them, but they merely went through the motions, cooling things down without any genuine connection.
Now, finally witnessing their heartfelt concern for each other, Manager Qiao felt at ease.
It seems, a hundred couples have a hundred ways of getting along, and he needn't worry anymore.
