Chapter 149: 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.

"Very good," Old Master Xia agreed, nodding.

"Grandma, because I need to investigate the identity of our opponent, I will have to communicate your identity with the people from the Miao Region..." Xia Xi turned to her grandmother as she spoke.

"Just say it. It’s not a big deal. At most, I’ll have to go back to bless the new Sacred Maiden with the Power of the Saint Spirit. It’s about time I returned it to them after all these years." Madam Xia said with a smile. She had previously been concerned about her peaceful life being disturbed. However, now that she was old, she no longer cared that much.

"Alright, I’ll make a call to coordinate with my colleagues." Xia Xi nodded, excused herself, picked up her mobile phone, and started dialing.

"Xiaoyue, thank you for your cat. Otherwise, I might have had a big fall," Madam Xia, turning to Xiaoyue, laughed.

"It’s only what I ought to do, grandma," Xiaoyue replied, grinning.

"Why are you four still so shocked?" Madam Xia chuckled, looking at her old companions who were still somewhat dazed.

"Xiaoyun, let me ask you. When you were young, when Mu Qing was almost undone by that woman, did you intervene?" Old Master Lin questioned, staring at Madam Xia.

Old Masters Han, Qin, Xia, and Madam Mu all looked at him, perplexed, unable to understand his question.

"You saw that? I thought no one had noticed." Madam Xia was also a little surprised as she asked.

"I accidentally saw you extracting a worm from Qingqing’s mouth and feeding her a drop of blood. The scene was too chaotic, and I thought I had misseen. After hearing what you said today, I thought I would confirm it," Old Master Lin replied.

"Xiaoyun, I never thought that my life was saved by you," Mu Qing gratefully looked at her friend.

"That woman, who had learned half-assed Poisonous Insect technique from somewhere, would have caused trouble if I hadn’t intervened. So, I stealthily extracted the poisonous insect and also fed her a drop of blood," Madam Xia nodded.
