Chapter 550 Presumptuous Request

“He is my family member, one of the most important family members of mine, and I am also his family member.”

The love between her and Qinghu had ended a long time ago.

Lin Mengya was clearer than anyone about this.

Qinghu would never chat or laugh with her fully at ease because his character wouldn’t allow him.

It was because both of them knew that they were family members to each other, so they didn’t have any scruples.

He was like a brother to her. They would never worry that one would betray the other or abandon the family member of the other.

“It turns out to be like this. He is really lucky. People like us are neither humans nor ghosts. If we can have such a family member who remembers us with concern, our living in the human world is not in vain.”

Zhu Yun burst out smiling as if he had let go of something.

Then, his look at Ling Mengya became a little warmer.

Maybe really like Qinghu, she was the one who could save them from their fate.

After organizing his thoughts a bit, he opened his mouth and said, “I know you are from a family of generals, but I’m afraid you have never learned about the affairs of the martial arts world, right?”

This showed that Qinghu hid something from Zhu Yun. For example, he hadn’t told him about the Sanjue Hall that was gradually gaining strength.

“I’ve just heard something about it. My husband, father, and brother work in the imperial court, but the martial arts world is part of the world, so how could I completely be an outsider? But I don’t know which one is what you refer to, Mr. Zhu.”

“Then, have you heard of the Candle Dragon Cult?”

Zhu Yun asked her gently, but somewhat imperceptible fear appeared and vanished in his usually peaceful eyes at the moment.

But Lin Mengya didn’t notice it because no matter how she racked her brains, she would not recall any piece of information about the Candle Dragon Cult.

After a long time, she had to shake her head and said, “The martial arts world consists of complicated fractions, which are more complicated than the affairs in the imperial court. I haven’t heard of the Candle Dragon Cult.”

Zhu Yun stood up slowly. Since he faced Lin Mengya with his back, he could barely hide the hatred he could never suppress in his eyes.

“The Candle Dragon Cult was the biggest evil sect thirty years ago. It acted mysteriously and strangely and killed people at will, so the upright sects joined hands and wiped it out. For some time, they disappeared. People in the martial arts world all think that all members of the Cult were killed in the battle that year, but they don’t know that the so-called evil sect in their eyes was just its most peripheral interest. In the past years, its force has been working secretively. If we make a count, we know that the current Dragon Head is its thirty-sixth leader.”

“Thirty-six? The number is even more than that of the emperors of these imperial courts, right? The Candle Dragon Cult has such a deep root!”

But no one knew that this was not the only powerful aspect of the Candle Dragon Cult.

Zhu Yun said that the Candle Dragon Cult acted mysteriously and strangely but was a highly regulated organization.

Its top leader was called Dragon Head, who was the master of all of them. It was said that this man was quite mysterious and never easily showed up at normal times.

Besides, the Dragon Head was a lifelong position. So far, the Candle Dragon Cult had been living for hundreds of years, in fact.

Having developed for hundreds of years, the Candle Dragon Cult was no longer only an organization in the martial arts world. In fact, its power had stretched deeply to different countries, but its essential members even didn’t know how powerful it was.

Those young girls, who were treated as commodities, and the harmful things like the Immortal Powder were commonly seen in the Candle Dragon Cult.

In the eye of the Candle Dragon Cult, neither the emperor of the Dajin nor the emperor of the Nation of Lintian was more resourceful and capable than their Dragon Head.

But such an evil sect was lurking like a venomous dragon in the dark.

Lin Mengya then realized that the so-called imperial power was so unstable.

“The Candle Dragon Cult is powerful, but how could no one know where it is located?”

Seeing Lin Mengya’s doubtful eyes, Zhu Yun had a helpless and wry smile.

“In fact, the Candle Dragon Cult is something secret in every country. After all, no emperor will compromise with an organization in the martial arts world. Besides, the Cult, which looks massive, has been having many flaws over the years. Otherwise, do you think that the Dragon Head would be so quiet?”

That was right. The desire for power was limitless.

Large numbers of people who ruled a country yearned to be the monarch of the world, let alone the extremely cruel and vicious Candle Dragon Cult.

“You mean that you want me to help you get out of it, right?”

Lin Mengya was definitely a person who had a clear estimation of herself. The Candle Dragon Cult was a huge organization. The Jin State could barely fight when it put all its strength into use, let alone her.

Moreover, the one on the throne was the Long Clan, not her, Lin Mengya, so this possibility could be ruled out completely.

However, Zhu Yun suddenly looked back, and his clear and cold eyes fell on Lin Mengya completely at the moment. Seeing the eagerness in his eyes, Lin Mengya couldn’t help feeling nervous.

“Is this guy hoping to sell me out with an excuse?”

“Right, but I more hope to wipe out the Candle Dragon Cult with your strength!”

The words contained the eagerness that Lin Mengya could not bear.

But his shocking remark had instantly made it a little unable for her to accept.

It was the Candle Dragon Cult! An organization in the martial arts world with hundreds of years of history, which was almost like a nation.

She was asked to weed it off? She was so small with only dozens of kilos, and they could kill her even without using any strength!

“Sir, you think too highly of me. I have some small abilities, but I don’t think I have the ability to turn the world upside down. Please don’t make jokes anymore, sir.”

But Zhu Yun had no wish to let her go. He held her hand and said excitedly, “The music score for green stringed instrument is in your hands, isn’t it? With it, you can surely exterminate the Candle Dragon Cult. Maybe you can’t weed it out completely in one year or two or even eight or ten years, but only you can wipe it out in this world!”

Hearing these words, Lin Mengya became more confused.

The music score for green stringed instrument was just a medical book. Yes, she admitted that this was absolutely an extraordinary medical book.

“But if I could defeat large troops only with medical skills, the Pavilion of Herbs would be a nuclear weapon experimental base, wouldn’t it?

“Then, Cousin Chen should hurriedly take these weapons of mass destruction to conquer the earth, right?”

Even if she used her stupidest mind to think about it, she knew that this was basically impossible.

After shaking off Zhu Yun’s hand with much difficulty, Lin Mengya took one step back without being seen.

She had some suspicions. “Does this guy have a mental disorder?”

“No, you still don’t know the secret of the music score for green stringed instrument now. If you know it, you can make the Candle Dragon Cult disappear instantly. If so, Qinghu and I can be saved from our destinies. Now you don’t know it, and it’s not a big deal, but you must remember that no matter what, you can’t let the members of the Candle Dragon Cult get it. Otherwise, people’s lives and property in the world will be destroyed. When that happens, Qinghu and I will have to die. Even if you just want to save Qinghu, you can’t let others get the music score for green stringed instrument. Do you understand?”

Lin Mengya nodded subconsciously. Then, Zhu Yun eased his anxious look slightly.

“You were scared? Sorry. This is quite important, so I was a little agitated. Don’t be afraid. I won’t harm you.”

Zhu Yun’s apology made Lin Mengya feel a little better.

Today, his unsuitable manner was beyond her expectation.

She had thought that Zhu Yun only wanted to use the strengths of the Nation of Lintian and the Jin State to get rid of the Candle Dragon Cult, but now, she seemed to have run into big trouble.

historical

“Mr. Zhu, there are always people who want to take the music score for green stringed instrument from me, in fact, only because of the Candle Dragon Cult, right?”

Lin Mengya had been a little puzzled previously.

The music score for green stringed instrument was a remarkable book, but it was not as popular as that, was it?

Killings and robberies had happened, let alone various schemes.

Now she finally knew that the music score was related to such a big secret. “No wonder those people would rather risk their lives to get it.”

“Well, some people are like that, but lots of others do it for other purposes. You should know that the music score is not only a medical book. There are lots of secrets hidden in it. You don’t have a firm foundation now, so you shouldn’t know more. If nothing unexpected happens, you should return to the Dajin these days? I have a presumptuous request. Princess Yu, I hope you can take it.”

After telling his secret, Zhu Yun became a little politer to Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya thought about it and signaled to him that he could continue his talk.

“I have a small attendant. It is Zhu Yan you met. He has been my attendant since he was young. Although he is somewhat naughty and unruly, his nature is not evil. This time I hope you can let him keep you company, Princess Yu. For one thing, it is convenient for our communication; for another, I don’t want him to take the path Qinghu and I have taken. Princess Yu, I hope you can fulfill my wish.”

Zhu Yun begged a bit with his eyes.

Seeing his submissive look, Lin Mengya didn’t know what she should do.

If she agreed, she would have an informer, who failed to keep to his own line, at her side in the future.

If she refused him, it showed that she was insincere.

After pondering it over, Lin Mengya nodded in agreement gently but said, “This is easy. But if he becomes my follower and is found by the Candle Dragon Cult, will you be dragged into trouble?”

Anyway, Zhu Yan would not be able to make waves. On the one hand, the prince’s mansion was so big; on the other, Zhu Yan was just a child.

All the cats and dogs in her home had grown up, and she needed a suitable person to look after them.

How pathetic Zhu Yan was! He had no idea that he had become the best candidate for being the animal attendant of Prince Yu’s Mansion in Lin Mengya’s heart.

“I won’t happen. Zhu Yan is a child I picked up from outside, and the people of the cult have never seen him before. But I’ll return to the cult this time, so I’m afraid it’s a bit inconvenient to bring him with me.”
