Chapter 431 - Explore the Way in Advance (2/2)

Coldness spread from her heart. Hongyu didn’t know how pale her face was.

And she looked shaky and unsteady, as if she would fall at any time.

After taking a step back, she could barely support herself.

She could understand that her parents sold her at that time because they were poor.

But why did her biological sister seem to regret that she wasn’t sold for more money?

Could it be that in Sumei’s heart, her elder sister was less important than a few taels of silver?

“Oh, now you feel sad, right? Sister, you’ve lived a wealthy life for so many years. Have you ever thought of me and our parents? When mother was on the brink of death, I served her by her side. Now I finally got a chance. You not only refuse to help me, but also step aside and hinder me. What do you mean by doing that?”

She, she just did that for the sake of her younger sister. But unexpectedly, Sumei considered that she was hindering her.

Hongyu only felt everything went black in front of her.

Was this girl really her biological sister?

“I’m telling you, I’m going to capture childe Yuan’s heart. I don’t care about being a concubine. As long as I no longer need to live that kind of miserable life even without enough food, I can do anything. Sister, you can stand by with folded arms. But if you hinder me again, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”

Sumei threatened Hongyu with her delicate face becoming completely vicious.

Hongyu stared at her sister in a daze, and a tear quietly fell down from the corner of her eye.

She knew that her family had lived a miserable life. In her memory, she and her sister had fed on coarse grains such as wheat bran, sweet potatoes, sorghums and so on.

Nevertheless, she had never expected that her simple and lovely younger sister would become the way she was now, and wondered why this would happen.

Was she really wrong?

However, her sanity told her that if Sumei went on like this, it was tantamount to stirring up a fire and burn herself.

Nevertheless, Sumei even refused to take any advice of hers, let alone being discouraged from it by her. She just wanted to help her younger sister. Gosh, what should she do?

Weeping silently, she, who had been a resourceful famous prostitute in the brothel, was extremely sad.

She hoped that Sumei wouldn’t go too far. Otherwise, even she would probably be unable to keep Sumei safe…

The three horses walked side by side. Lin Mengya was riding the horse in the middle, with Long Tianyu and Qiu Yu on both sides.

They all had their own thoughts. It was funny that every time the three of them got together, the atmosphere always became extremely embarrassing.

Lin Mengya looked around and laughed in her heart, but didn’t show it at all.

Long Tianyu shouldn’t have flirted with Sumei without talking it over with her.

Qiu Yu was not a good person either. He took pleasure in their embarrassment, as if she couldn’t tell it.

After getting out of the apricot blossom forest, the three of them soon stood on a small soil slope.

Lin Mengya involuntarily gasped with surprise. It was no wonder that Master Guo repeatedly told her that if they met with any unexpected difficulties, they must not break through it.

“Gosh, there is such a spectacle in the world?”

Not only Lin Mengya, but also Long Tianyu, who saw it for the first time, couldn’t help being shocked.

In the distance, the space between heaven and earth seemed to be split into two halves by a huge axe.

The deep valley was only over ten meters wide, but the two shores were even. Looking towards both sides, they couldn’t see the end, as if it was boundless. They had to marvel at the uncanny workmanship of nature.

They let the horses walk slowly. A mountain road nestling against nothing came into their view, and it was the only path leading to the other side.

“Be careful. It’s hung in the air.”

Qiu Yu, who was familiar with the terrain, hurriedly warned Lin Mengya. She got down from the horse and looked ahead carefully.

She involuntarily gasped in horror. Gosh, it was a real unfathomable abyss in front of her. Although she was not afraid of height, she found it turned out to be misty and unfathomable at first glance.

Lin Mengya couldn’t help swallowing a mouthful of saliva. Even a rock would be smashed into pieces if it fell, let alone a person.

“Is this mountain road really shaped by nature?”

Lin Mengya cautiously stepped on the only stone road, but a gust of strong wind blew violently before she stood firm.

Long Tianyu; who had sharp eyes and agile hands, dragged her over. In a flash, Lin Mengya’s palm had been soaked by cold sweat.

“Yes. The people of our Nation of Lintian call it Immortal Road. It is rumored that the Nation of Lintian and Dajin were a whole. Afterwards, the cavalry of the Dajin went on expeditions from all sides, and the people in the Nation of Lintian were destitute. Afterwards, an immortal split the two sides with an immortal axe and then walked through this stone road.”

Qiu Yu showed some complicated emotions in his eyes.

Lin Mengya didn’t think much. He probably felt uneasy upon arrival at his hometown.

Anyway, Qiu Yu was an imperial physician serving the emperor in the Jin State, and seemed to be completely loyal and trusted by the emperor.

Therefore, he must have some complicated emotions when returning to his hometown.
