Chapter 549 Testing Each Other

But what had truly made him stop was a force that almost instantly prevented his hands and feet from controlling themselves.

If it hadn’t been for his strong resistance, he was afraid that he would have lost strength and fallen.

It was the first time that a little panic had appeared in his black pupils.

But soon, he learned that all this was the trick of that sharp maid opposite.

“Do you want to know it? I won’t tell you. Imp, remember, you should be polite to my Sister Princess in the future. Otherwise, I’ll make you suffer severely.”

After winning the first confrontation, Xiu obviously felt much better.

They had been impeded since their arrival at the residence. Her Sister Princess looked calm, but she was quite sullen with the feeling of being teased.

With the arrogant little man punished, now she had finally vented her anger.

As the Chinese saying goes: “When beating a dog, one should think about the status of its owner.” Today the good beating she had given this aggressive “dog” could be regarded as a hard strike on his master’s face.

Lin Mengya didn’t stop Xiu from using poison. Since her coming here, she seemed to have been played like a toy by someone.

Zhu Yun always looked harmless, but she could find out none of the intents behind all his acts.

Although she could keep her equanimity, she was not without her anger.

Besides, it was only possible for two parties to confront each other when they had almost equal strength; otherwise, it would just be that one party slaughtered the other.

“Where is your master?”

Lin Mengya’s eyes were cold with all her momentum bursting out. That was far from what a slim and fragile lady could have.

However, she always looked calm even when she was in a disadvantageous situation.

Zhu Yan wanted to give them trouble through talking, but Lin Mengya said to Xiu, “Detoxify him. The real enemy is still far ahead.”

“Right, my master’s powerful name has been spread far and wide. If you dare to harm me, my master will never let you leave this house!”

He had not recovered, but he had begun clamoring.

Lin Mengya only glanced at him indifferently and said, “Oh? Is it true?”

Arching her eyebrows, she looked at Zhu Yan quite deeply. Now, Lin Mengya was approaching the truth she had in her mind.

Speaking of shrewdness, Zhu Yan and Xiu didn’t seem to have this function.

Although Hongyu had experienced worldly affairs, she had a naive heart, after all.

Only Lin Mengya was different. Although she went to redress the scales like a heroine temporarily, no one could beat her in scheme-making.

But now, she was being teased by her rival so much.

But now, it was still unknown who would be the final winner.

On the way, Zhu Yan wanted to provoke them, but when he saw the emerald green little snake of about one foot long Xiu had taken out sometime, he had to shut his mouth unwillingly.

When the four people had walked past the long cloister, a grove of green bamboo trees suddenly appeared in front of them.

“My master only invites Princess Yu to see him. Follow me to wait here, all of you.”

Zhu Yan still despised all of them, but he was a little politer than just now.

Naturally, Hongyu and Xiu were unwilling, but Lin Mengya pressed the two’s hands and shook her head.

After all, he was her enemy, so she had to face him.

The bluish-gray gravel path was quite even, but it wound all the way to the depths of the bamboo grove.

On the side of the path, the green bamboo trees, each with a diameter of four inches or so, were decorated with small orange lamps.

Although the sun had set for a long time, she could see everything in the bamboo grove clearly.

Lin Mengya took light and graceful steps. Shortly, she saw a pale bluish-white figure sitting in the bamboo grove.

Zhu Yun sat with his back facing her and a jade teacup of crack-like veins in his hand as if he was admiring the beautiful scenery in the grove.

Seeing him, Lin Mengya took great precautions, but her expression became more and more indifferent.

Ignoring everything, she sat on the stone stool opposite Zhu Yun and picked up the cup of tea with the green bamboo’s fragrance. As she took a sip of the yellowish water, she felt the slight fragrance as if she was in a tea plantation.

The quiet and faintly graceful fragrance was so constant that she couldn’t forget it.
