After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 139 Black Spirit Hairpin

Gu Chen sighed silently, feeling that the Gu family was probably finished.

This made Gu Chen somewhat suspicious of the Black Divine Spirit Fire—

It looked down on everyone for so many years, and after all that searching, it finally chose such a tiny baby?

Could it be that even the spirit fire knows to respect the elderly and cherish the young, and that it doesn't favor so many talented young men, but only likes children?
Ha, if that's the case, then the Yue family is a real scourge. If they had known earlier, the first thing they would have done after someone in their family gave birth would have been to take the baby to Linghuo for a look. Why did they hide it for so many years!

Mo Jiuwei sat on the stool, her short legs dangling in the air.

She naturally noticed Gu Chen's furrowed brows, which could trap a fly, and the speechlessness and disappointment in his eyes.

[That expression...how much does he look down on me?]

Looks like she regrets coming.

Mo Jiuwei remained calm and composed, showing no signs of anger. Instead, she seemed to be waiting for the show to begin.

If the Gu family changes their mind, doesn't believe her, or treats her with disrespect, then she will get up and leave.

Although Gu Chen has something I want, it's not something I absolutely need.

only……

Gu Chen remained silent for a moment, seemingly making a decision in his heart. Finally, he walked towards Mo Jiuwei and stood in front of her.

Mo Jiuwei looked up and blinked at him.

"Then I'll have to leave this matter to you, young lady," Gu Chen said.

This is a man who looks serious and taciturn, with a gloomy temperament and seems fierce.

But now he was bending over and looking at her, trying hard to put on a smile, as if he wanted to make her happy, but this expression was really difficult for him.

A smile is scarier than tears.

Thank goodness I'm not a real child, otherwise I would have been scared to tears by this weird uncle.

Mo Jiuwei thought to herself, and smiled, "Okay, but I want this one."

She stretched out her little finger and pointed at Gu Chen's hair.

Gu Chen was taken aback. He reached up to touch his head and felt a cool, jade-like texture. His expression changed slightly.

Gu Qingxiu and Gu Mingyu were both startled and looked at Mo Jiuwei in astonishment.

"Patriarch, you mustn't!" One of the five people who came with Gu Chen spoke up to stop him.

Gu Chen was horrified at this moment—

The thing I touched was a hairpin, jet black, very simple, with only a few carved lines.

This was something he had used for a long time. It had been with him ever since he became the head of the family, and he had long been accustomed to its presence.

This is a family heirloom of the ancient family, passed down only to the head of the family, and it has only one purpose—

Avoid poison.

No matter what kind of poison it is, whether it's man-made poison, or a naturally poisonous plant or animal, as long as you wear this hairpin, you can completely avoid it and be protected from its harm.

It can even avoid some poisons that are used in combination, such as those that are harmless when encountered alone but produce toxins when encountered together.

This black spirit hairpin used to ward off poison was made from a naturally occurring spiritual object. It was something that resembled both iron and jade, and it grew in the Black Swamp Gorge, which was teeming with poisonous creatures tens of thousands of years ago. A caravan accidentally discovered it and became interested in it. In the end, they risked the lives of all one hundred members of the caravan and consumed countless magical artifacts to finally get it out.

Its production method is very simple; it is carved directly from a single piece of material, preserving the original shape of the material.

Gu Su obtained it by chance. The original owner of the Black Spirit Crown's beloved wife was seriously ill and incurable. He sought help from Gu Su, a poison master but also an alchemist. After curing the woman, he used the black gold hairpin as payment, as it was the only valuable thing she possessed.

Since ancient times, this hairpin has been passed down to each head of the family, making it a worthy heirloom.

"Patriarch, you mustn't! This is our Gu family's heirloom; we absolutely cannot give it away!"

Seeing others trying to dissuade her, Mo Jiuwei simply looked at Gu Chen, waiting for him to speak.

Gu Chen looked troubled. "This item is extremely important to my Gu family. You can ask for anything else you want."

Mo Jiuwei shook her head, her voice slightly childish but very firm, "I only want it, whether it can cure the monkey or not, I only want it."

Although Liu Feng said he would take one item if the condition couldn't be cured, and three items if it could be cured, Mo Jiuwei knew that this one item was already enough to make the Gu family feel the pinch, and there was no need to mention the other two.

Besides this, she really doesn't need or care about anything else.

There is more than one of this item across the entire continent, but compared to others, this one is easier for her to obtain, and she doesn't want to miss it.

Gu Chen was troubled.

This black spirit hairpin is rare; the Gu family only has one.

If it could be used to save the sacred beast's remaining two hundred years of life, it would be worthwhile, but this little baby might not be able to cure the sacred beast...

Just as he was pondering this, he saw Mo Jiuwei move.

She stretched out her hand, and black mist spread and surged in her palm. The wisps of mist traveled up her palm and then stopped at her fingertips.

The black mist gradually thinned until it was just a wisp, like a black line. If people weren't close enough and had good eyesight, they would have easily missed it.

Is this the Divine Fire of the Black God?!

Gu Chen's eyes widened in disbelief. He had seen spirit fire before, and more than one kind, but only one as unique as Wu Shen's.

Just as he was about to ask something, he saw Mo Jiuwei flick her finger, and that wisp of spiritual fire flew towards him!

"Homeowner!"

The clan elders were greatly alarmed.

"Grandpa!" Gu Qingxiu and Gu Mingyu's voices cracked from shouting.

Gu Chen's heart stopped. He watched helplessly as the thing rushed straight into his eyes. He reacted quickly and immediately activated his spiritual energy shield to try to block it, but how could a spiritual energy shield possibly stop the Black God?
Without the slightest pause, the thread-like spiritual fire had already passed through.

Gu Chen subconsciously closed his eyes, his hand already gathering strength, intending to eliminate the doll that had harmed him before he died!

So the Black God Spirit Fire was a fake, and her real intention was to harm me? Who exactly is she? Is she also from the Geng family?

How can such a young child harm others? Could it be a case of possession or disguise?
At this moment, many thoughts came to mind.

"grandfather?"

He heard Gu Qingxiu's voice again, but there was no longer worry or fear in her voice, but rather... doubt?
Wait, how come I'm perfectly fine and don't feel any pain?
Gu Chen opened his eyes, the spiritual energy in his hands dissipated, and he reached out to touch his eyes.

It's intact, undamaged, doesn't hurt at all, and I can see normally.

That is how the matter?

Just as I was about to ask, I saw everyone staring in horror at the ground in front of them, as if they had seen something bizarre.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen asked.

He looked in front of him but didn't find anything on the ground.
