Everyone was immersed in the chief's wife's reprimands. They were extremely shocked and astonished, but no one dared to step out and plead for mercy.

"Go in and search …"

"The chief's wife has such a big posture, she can't even rest peacefully after taking a nap …"

Suddenly, the chief's wife's eyes went cold, and with a strand of killing intent, she beckoned to the servants behind her.

Not long after, a dozen or so servants surrounded the loft where the Holy Maiden lived, making it hard for even a fly to fly out.

Just as she finished speaking, Gu Yinuo's cold voice came out from the pavilion.

Everyone looked up at the same time as they searched for the voice. They saw Gu Yinuo, wearing a plain white robe that was as white as clouds, slowly walking down from the pavilion step by step with a pure white, flawless silk scarf still covering his face.

He was like a lost spirit who had wandered into the human world by mistake. It was so beautiful that one could not help but look at him.

"Paying respects to Holy Maiden …"

When the crowd saw her walk down, they immediately bowed to her.

In this ancient village, other than the gods, the only person they trusted the most was the Holy Maiden. They no longer dared to rashly act rashly in front of the Holy Maiden.

"Holy Maiden, since you're here, let's quickly start practicing!"

After which, the matriarch spoke with the same ice-cold expression.

However, there was a flash of viciousness in those eyes that were filled with softness. It was as if nothing had happened.

"Alright …"

Gu Yinuo smiled gently, and all of a sudden, the flowers in the courtyard started to bloom, it was so colorful.

The crowd was once again attracted by her aura, unable to look away.

No wonder she was a Holy Maiden. So she actually had a miraculous power that ordinary people didn't have.

Standing in the crowd, Gu Ling'er's beautiful face contorted as she secretly pinched the arm of the flower maiden beside her. A malicious glint flashed in her eyes.

She did not believe that Gu Yinuo would definitely not possess such a miraculous power and that she would snatch it back.

As for the flower girl that was being held by her, due to the fact that she was the Great Elder's beloved daughter, she could only forcefully endure it and didn't dare to reveal her evil side.

Immediately, the garden's petals scattered down from the sky like rain. A group of beautiful ladies surrounded Gu Yinuo and danced around him, the scene was too beautiful for them to destroy, until the sunset hid within the clouds.

The next day, the sky was clear, and a light drizzle fell from the sky.

However, it did not stop the path of the mysterious ancient village chief.

In the village's square, which could accommodate a thousand people, all sorts of ancient and bizarre torches were set up. Under the baptism of rain, they became increasingly intense, as if they were not rain but gasoline.

Green smoke rose into the sky from everywhere. Every villager was wearing a grand ancient clothing as they traveled through the drizzling rain. Their faces were filled with smiles of joy.

This was because today was not only an important day for the village chief to be chosen, it was also a day for the Holy Maiden to lead to the gods, and pray for the Heavens to bless the ancient village and the citizens to live and work in peace.

Everyone was already very careful in their actions, afraid that they would accidentally anger the gods and disrupt their good luck for a year.

At this time, at the place where the Holy Maiden was staying, all of the flower girls were wearing heavy makeup and heavy clothing, waiting for the arrival of the Holy Maiden.

Her dress full of fresh flowers had long since been soaked by the drizzle. Her heavy clothes would occasionally fall down and stick on her body, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Gu Ling'er angrily pulled at her flowery clothes, casting a trace of hatred at the tightly shut door.

If he were the Holy Maiden, how would he be able to endure the heavy rain and wait for Gu Yinuo, that little bitch?

After a long while, when everyone was feeling angry, they finally saw Gu Yinuo slowly open the door.

In a split-second, a fairy-like girl walked out from inside. Everyone was so infatuated that they forgot to react.

Her red bridal dress reflected her peach like face, and her eyes glimmered with a gorgeous luster. Her red lips and white teeth gave off a seductive coquettishness. Her fair skin was as clear as the moonlight. Her slender waist was like a tight silk belt, and her ten fingers were as tender and sharp as spring onions. The phoenix crown on her head and the pearls on her body sparkled in the candlelight, as if fifteen were a street full of lanterns.

It was said that there was an unwritten rule in the ancient village: Whenever the Holy Maiden prayed to the gods on behalf of the common people, she would marry a god.

"Holy Maiden has arrived, let's go …"

Soon after, the master was the first to react in shock. He sneaked a glance at Holy Maiden and shouted the terms of the ancient stronghold. Like an ant, they walked towards the largest square of the ancient stronghold.

Gu Ling'er, who was walking in the crowd, would occasionally look at Gu Yinuo, who was sitting in a sedan chair filled with beautiful flowers, only to see her smiling at her. However, there was no gentleness in those beautiful eyes. Instead, there were traces of coldness. It made her feel very familiar.

She kept feeling that something was amiss with Gu Yinuo today, but she couldn't think of anything at the moment, so she suppressed the doubts in her heart.

They walked around the ancient stronghold six times before finally stopping at the plaza.

At this time, it was noon. The sun had finally stopped the drizzling rain. It hung high in the sky, showing off its might. The crowd's faces were burning with the sun's heat, leaving them in extreme pain.

When noon arrived, the ceremony began.

He shook the red and green bell in his hand, and led a group of men with pictures of the human and ghost horse faces to jump around Gu Yinuo for a long time, before faintly giving way.

Immediately, Gu Ling'er brought a group of flower girls, carrying all kinds of flower petals and entered the sacrificial altar, circling and dancing beside Gu Yinuo.

It was said that by bathing Holy Maiden in the gospel like this, she would be able to cleanly marry a deity. She prayed that he would bless the people and bring peace to the year, allowing them to reap the harvest.

Gu Le was still making sounds, and the villagers were still immersed in the joy of praying to the gods. Everyone's faces could not conceal the smile on their faces.

"Bitch, go die …"

Suddenly, the beautiful eyes of Gu Ling'er, who was among the flower ladies, became cold. She looked like a sculpture of ice, completely different from her usual appearance.

Immediately, her bare hand hidden under her dancing dress reached out, and a short, shiny dagger appeared in her hand. Just at that moment, it pierced into Gu Yinuo's back like a hot knife through butter.

In an instant, time seemed to have stopped, the tranquility was gloomy and terrifying. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Gu Yinuo in doubt.

"Everyone, she is not our Holy Maiden, she is an outsider that Holy Maiden rescued from the river. I never thought that she would actually kill our Holy Maiden so viciously. All I have done is avenge our Holy Maiden. "

With a 'whoosh', Gu Ling'er pulled out the dagger covered in blood. She stood on the sacrificial altar and raised it high up in the air. Under the sunlight, it shone with a terrifying light.

"Why should we believe you?"

"That's right, that's right …"

The village name was instantly shaken. All sorts of voices of doubt were thrown in Gu Ling'er's direction. However, she faced them with a cold face, not caring in the slightest.

"In my opinion, it was because you were not chosen by the gods to become a Holy Maiden that you were jealous. That was the reason why you took the opportunity to kill a Holy Maiden, so that you could sit on the throne of the Holy Maiden and help your father become the next Clan Leader of the village!"

In the majestic plaza, a middle-aged man sat at a high position as he quietly stood up.

He was in his late thirties or early thirties. His hair was slightly bald at the temples, his eyebrows were thick and neat, and his eyes sparkled. He was the third uncle of Gu Ling'er, the second elder of the village. He was also a strong opponent of her father when it came to competing for the position of village head.

"Third brother, what do you mean? Even if my Ling'er isn't Holy Maiden, with my experience, wouldn't God have chosen me to be the next Patriarch? "

At this moment, the Great Elder, who was sitting at the side, slammed his hand on the table and stood in a row beside the Second Elder, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile. His words were filled with a thick smell of gunpowder.

"Whether you are or not, it is not up to us to decide. I believe that the gods will be able to see the good and bad, will be able to select a wise village chief for us. At the moment, you better ask your daughter to explain why she hurt our Holy Maiden! "

The second clan elder's tiny eyes could not hide the glint in his eyes, he caressed his shiny lower jaw, and looked at Gu Yinuo who was lying on the sacrificial altar, deep in thought.

Why is Gu Yinuo's vigilance so low today? He was actually ambushed by Gu Ling'er?

With her temper, she shouldn't be like this. Could it be …

However, Holy Maiden, who was in the middle of everyone's discussion, was still lying in the flower bush with his eyes closed. His pale white forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he looked to be in pain.

"Third Uncle, she really isn't our Holy Maiden. "If you don't believe me, look …"

Gu Ling'er was furious to see the villagers pointing fingers at her. She rudely pulled off the veil covering Guina's face.

Today, she wanted to discredit Gu Yinuo, and would never be able to sit as the Holy Maiden again.

At this time, everyone held their breaths and looked at the girl inside the flower bush, only to see Gu Yinuo quietly lying inside the flower bush. That familiar face, if it wasn't their Holy Maiden, then who could it be?

"NO!" No! That's impossible. I saw her being kidnapped with my own eyes one night, this woman definitely isn't Holy Maiden … "

Gu Ling'er suddenly shouted loudly and tumbled down. Her eyes were filled with shock, as if she had seen a ghost.

She had clearly given Gu Yinuo the poison that person gave her, and she had even personally witnessed taking her away, how was this possible?

"Holy Maiden, Holy Maiden, not good, Holy Maiden fainted …"

The woman that Gu Ling had bullied before was now kneeling beside Gu Yinuo and shouting loudly.

At this time, the crowd seemed to just remember their respected Holy Maiden. After being stabbed by Gu Ling'er, they lied there alone, and no one cared about them.

However, the elders had yet to speak, so they did not dare to make the decision without permission.

The truth was that the elders did not wish for such an orphan girl like her to become the Holy Maiden. They were people who had daughters, and also people who belonged to a mysterious family.
