Chapter 849 Meet an Acquaintance on the Way

“So that’s how it is. I see,” Lin Mengya said, indescribably heavy-hearted.

No matter if Baisu and Xiu were the two sisters sent away by the Divine Witch, fate was particularly cruel to them.

“Since you are Shuqing’s daughter, I have to warn you one thing. Leave here as soon as possible, as some people consider your existence as a disaster,” the Divine Witch said.

Although Lin Mengya had no idea what the Divine Witch meant by saying that, she was aware that it actually saved her a lot of trouble to get away by feigning death and come to the Lieyun Empire in secret.

Moreover, with Xiaoyu and her uncle concealing her identity, no one would find out about her identity unless something unexpected happened.

“Thank you for your advice, reverend ma’am. I’ll be careful. As soon as I get this done, I’ll leave here,” Lin Mengya said.

Although she was just going to leave for a period, she knew that when she returned, it was time to open the gate to the paradise city with the keys.

After bidding farewell to the Divine Witch, Lin Mengya glanced at the Divine Witch Shrine and walked down the street in low spirits.

Things were not either black or white.

Before Baisu was taken to the Divine Witch Shrine, her identity might not be simple.

After she solved this mystery, there would be more mysteries ahead of them.

She did not consider it a knotty problem. Nevertheless, based on the information she got, her intuition told her that a vast amount of people might get involved in this.

Both the missing female physician and the origins of the two sisters made her uneasy.

If she verified the two of them were the poor sisters sent away by the Divine Witch, it would probably cause an earthshaking change in their lives.

Lin Mengya was not sure if such a change was a good thing for Baisu and Xiu.

So she had to handle this with caution.

On the way, Lin Mengya, lost in thought, did not notice that someone had been staring at her eagerly since she walked out of the Divine Witch Shrine.

While she walked through the streets and alleys, he stared at her all this time with his eyes full of tender affection.

Lin Mengya, deep in thought, did not notice that two rascals, who looked like scoundrels, had set their eyes on her, who was out of her wits.

When she accidentally walked into a quiet alley, the two rascals blocked her way, one in front of her and the other behind her.

“Young lady, you’re so pretty. It’s not safe for you to walk alone.” Lin Mengya, who was thinking, was interrupted by a frivolous voice.

It was not until then that she raised her head and found herself at a disadvantage.

She frowned slightly. She was so vexed today that she just wanted to get rid of the two rascals, who tried to pester her, as soon as possible.

Just as she wanted to take out the poison she usually brought with her for self-defense, she realized that she seemed to have left it behind in the imperial palace when changing her clothes.

Did she have to use her blood?

Lin Mengya frowned tightly. She could not use her blood easily. What was more, they were just two insignificant people.

“Get out of my way. I don’t have time to argue with you,” she shouted coldly.

She was in the capital city and there must be guards around her, which made it difficult for them to lay a finger on her.

“Wow, you’re so hot-tempered. I like it... Ouch... my hand!” one of the rascals said, reaching out to touch Lin Mengya’s face.

But all of a sudden, he was thrown up into the air like a shadow.

At the same time, Lin Mengya, who was impatient, was held tightly in someone’s arms.

Just as she wanted to struggle, she smelled a familiar scent.

She trembled slightly all over. However, the moment the rascal’s arm was cut off, she was pulled away from the spot where she had stood a moment ago.

Although a surge of blood welled out from the wound on the rascal’s arm, her dress was not stained by a single drop of it.

“Scram!” there came a deep and cold voice that seemed to belong to a devil crawling out of hell.

Intimidated by the vicious means of the person, the other rascal supported his companion, who was tortured by sharp pain, and fled from the alley in a hurry.

With her back against the chest she was familiar with, Lin Mengya felt as if her heart were going to jump out of her throat.

She was extremely familiar with those arms that had protected her and saved her from lethal danger countless times.

“Sly fox, why are you also here?” Lin Mengya blurted out.

She had not called him by his nickname for a long time.

Although she hadn’t even cast a glance at the person behind her and the person had only made a move in front of her, she could recognize him.

“I’m worried about you. Lass, I went through a hard time looking for you,” Qinghu said in a frivolous tone as before, but in an excited and trembling voice.

Lin Mengya considered Qinghu as an indispensable family member who was as important as her father and brother.

Now she was aware that since Long Tianyu had discovered that she was still alive, Qinghu would inevitably learn it.

However, when they actually met, she felt as if a lifetime had passed since they last met.

“I’m so sorry...” She apologized.

She had no idea what she could say other than the three words to express her apology to her family members who were concerned about her.

Qinghu suddenly tightened his grip. Although it hurt a little, Lin Mengya still endured the pain.

How she wished she could live happily forever with those who cared about her if possible.

Unfortunately, reality was always crueler than dreams.

“You don’t have to say that anymore. It’s God’s extra tolerance to let me know that you’re still alive,” Qinghu said.

After a long while, Lin Mengya felt Qinghu, who had held her tightly, loosened his grip.

She immediately turned around and saw Qinghu’s feminine and beautiful face as she expected.

It had only been a few months since they last met, but he became much more haggard.

“Look at you, you’re so close to a slob. If you’re not good-looking anymore, no one will want you!” pinching his cheeks, Lin Mengya said smilingly with tears in her eyes.

Qinghu was the person she trusted the most and could share all kinds of secrets with.

Now with him around, Lin Mengya felt relieved.

“No one other than you wants me!” As Qinghu said, he held her petite body tightly once again and closed his eyes to conceal the deep affection in them.

It was great that she was still alive and her body was warm.

If she really died, he would probably lose his mind in an instant.

“Alright, I’ll take you in. Anyway, I have enough food in my home to feed an idler like you. Well, let go of me now. It will be embarrassing to be seen by others,” Lin Mengya said with a smile and beat Qinghu on the shoulder.

Since his last visit to the Candle Dragon Cult, his health condition had improved a lot and his deadly inveterate disease had eased greatly.

Given enough time, she might be able to cure Qinghu.

It was great to have the people she cared about around. At least, she still had a chance to turn things around, which was more important than anything else.

“I can hold my young lady as I please. You should have brought some competent guards with you when you come out. Look at those guards who are so incompetent that they were even knocked down before I made the fourth move. How could they protect you?” Qinghu said.

Seeing the look of disdain on his face, Lin Mengya felt a little helpless.

It was no wonder that none of them came out to save her a moment ago. It turned out that they had been knocked down by him before coming out.

“There are very few people as proficient in martial arts as you! You didn’t hurt them, did you? They are sent by Xiaoyu. Don’t hurt them badly!” Lin Mengya said.

Back then, all the guards in Prince Yu’s Mansion other than Ling Ye had been tortured by Qinghu with all kinds of excuses.

In the end, they started to shake uncontrollably at the sight of Qinghu’s typical sly smile.

Now Qinghu did this to Xiaoyu’s men.

Should she lament the bad luck of Xiaoyu’s men or sigh over Qinghu’s persistence in this?

“They turn out to be sent by the little guy. No wonder they are so weak. Rest assured. I have a sense of propriety. It’s not a good place to stay. Let’s go,” Qinghu said.

Then he turned around and jumped on top of the wall in the alley, with Lin Mengya in his arms.

After jumping up and down a few times, the two of them landed in a tremendously secluded and remote courtyard.

Before Lin Mengya asked, she saw Baisu come out of the house with a worried look.

It turned out to be the courtyard Baisu rented.

“You’re so capable that you even find this place,” Lin Mengya turned around and said, with no idea whether she should praise him for his capability or mock him for being as acute as a dog.

Perhaps it was about time for Baisu to pick her up, so Baisu was ready to go out.

As soon as Baisu walked out of the house, she saw two strangers in the courtyard.

Just as she tensed up, she saw Lin Mengya’s face she was familiar with and the other face she hadn’t seen for a long time but couldn’t forget.

“Miss! Qinghu! Why are you here?” she asked.

“She is such a typical maid trained by you that she even said a word similar to yours at the sight of me,” Qinghu lowered his head and whispered in Lin Mengya’s ear.

Lin Mengya merely shot a glance at him before coming up to Baisu.

She said, “I bumped into Qinghu, and he brought me here. It’s a secluded place. But unfortunately, it’s discovered by someone as acute as a dog.”

Despite knowing that Lin Mengya was talking about him, Qinghu was still as thick-skinned as before.

He stayed by Lin Mengya’s side with a smile, refusing to move a step from her.

“Well, I’ll find a new one. Anyway, I’ve collected all the information we need. I’m going to bring the booklet into the imperial palace for your reference,” Baisu said.

Baisu was aware of Qinghu’s capability.

Nevertheless, they did not intend to hide the courtyard from anyone, and just wanted to make sure the information Baisu gathered was not leaked.

“Well, that’s good. Let’s go back. Qinghu, you must come here with Long Tianyu’s men. You may go back now. I’ll spare some time to visit you,” Lin Mengya said.

Then she took the booklet carefully bound by Baisu and quickly flipped through it. It only took a few minutes for her to record all the information in the Shen Nung system.

After that, the booklet would be destroyed by Baisu immediately.

After they got these things done, Lin Mengya saw that Qinghu was still standing by her side and refused to leave.

Lin Mengya involuntarily pushed him and said softly, “Hey, why are you in a daze?”

Qinghu smiled unnaturally, seeming to be a little reluctant to leave.

He said, “Alright, I’ll go back right away. Oh, yes, lass, Long Tianyu is going back in a few days, do you know that?”
