Chapter 557 - Ruthless Youth (1/2)

“Nothing… I… I just felt… that I’ve let everyone down…”

There was so much she wanted to say, but in that instant, Lin Mengya choked at her words and was unable to say anything.

Her eyes became red, but she tried hard to keep the tears from falling down.

“Alas— I’m not blaming you, don’t be upset.”

Long Tianyu reached out his big hand and lightly caressed her forehead.

In spite of feeling angry, Long Tianyu could not bring himself to vent it at this moment.

Moreover, while he was a little upset with Lin Mengya, he was even more upset with himself for not being able to protect her.

Now, seeing that she was about to cry, his anger vanished completely.

All that was left was his tender love towards her, which he was too shy to express in words.

“It will be good if you remember this lesson. Just be careful from now on.”

Long Tianyu groaned inwardly. If it were in the past, no one who had committed a mistake could escape his berating.

What was wrong was wrong. No matter how reasonable the excuses sounded, nothing could cover up mistakes.

However, he could not bring himself to say anything harsh when it came to dealing with Lin Mengya.

Perhaps she was the only exception in his life.

“Yes, I will be careful going forward.”

She held on tightly to Long Tianyu’s coat like an obedient kitten.

It was not every day that she was so quiet and adorable. Long Tianyu, feeling satisfied with her answer, held her tightly in his arms.

The large coat had wrapped tightly and securely around her slender body. All Long Tianyu wanted to do was to encircle her in his world so that she did not have to see any more of this cruel and dark world.

Finally, the night passed and the gentle rays of sunlight penetrated the sky from the east and lit up the entire land.

Liu Xuan and Ling Ye, who were ahead of them, were approaching the dungeon.

As they stared at the entrance which was an opening that could only accommodate a person at a time, Ling Ye and Liu Xun exchanged looks and leaped in one after another and disappeared into the hole quietly.

The noise made by the mechanisms was no longer as loud as when Lin Mengya came out from the dungeon some time ago.

Lin Mengya could not help but took a step close. Zhu Yan was still holding up in there with much effort. Although the mechanisms were able to keep Ambassador White Dragon and Shadow Slave at bay, she could not possibly sacrifice Zhu Yan.

“Zhu Yan! I’ve gotten help to come to save you!”

In order to protect Liu Xuan and Ling Ye from harm, Lin Mengya could only crane her neck and shouted into the opening.

Thereafter, the sound of sword fighting could be heard coming out from the dungeon.

Lin Mengya was tempted to go over to check out on Zhu Yan, but Long Tianyu tightened his grip around her hands and refused to let her go.

Long Tianyu stopped her impetus resentfully and Lin Mengya gazed timidly at Long Tianyu and said, “Zhu Yan is the amulet Qinghu left for me. This is too important and I can’t allow any harm to befall him.”

The mechanisms and snares inside the dungeon were much more intense than outside.

Therefore, Lin Mengya had left Zhu Yan to control the mechanisms on his own so she could find the opportunity to go out and get help.

Long Tianyu gave her a glance, but his intention was unclear to her. He quickly got in front of her to block her.

When the group of them entered the dungeon, they saw Liu Xuan and Ling Ye fighting fiercely with a dark figure.

Not only were the two men highly skilled in martial arts, but they were also very intelligent, nimble, and quick to react. Nevertheless, they were entangled with the dark figure in a fight.

“I’m right here!”

Zhu Yan, who was in the mechanism well, had thought that he would die in there.

To his surprise, just when all the mechanisms had been activated and used, two men had rushed in. Shadow Slave, who was after his life was immediately entangled in a fight with them.

In addition, Lin Mengya’s cry had reassured him that help was on the way.

Little did he expect that the moment he let down his guard, the shadow of a figure, whom no one noticed, suddenly appeared before him.

A dejected-looking Ambassador White Dragon threw himself ferociously on Zhu Yan.

He was not stupid and knew that the situation was hopeless for him. If he did not get hold of Zhu Yan, he could well die in here.

“Watch out!”

Lin Mengya cried out in anxiety. From her understanding of Ambassador White Dragon, she knew him to be a very cunning person.

If he got his way, Zhu Yun and Qinghu would get into a dangerous situation!

At this critical moment, a ray of light flashed onto Ambassador White Dragon’s waist.

Behind that mask was pair of eyes that were wide opened from the pain. They were gazing at the arrogant and ruthless looking youth with shock.

Never did he expect that at this moment in time when his life was in danger, Zhu Yan had stabbed him with the machete that he barely parted with and he did it without any hesitation.

“You…”

The ferocious strength with which he pounced at Zhu Yan had become one of the reasons he wanted to seek death now.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to take your life.”

Zhu Yan let go of the machete in his hand with disgust and in that instant, Ambassador White Dragon collapsed to the floor.

Lin Mengya, standing behind Long Tianyu, was taken aback for a moment. In turn, she suddenly remembered the scene when she first met Zhu Yan.

It was no wonder that Zhu Yan had entrusted him to Lin Mengya.

If such a talented kid were to fall into the hands of Candle Dragon Cult, there would be one more brutal killer in the society after a decade.

“Your master is dead. If you keep resisting, he would lose his life.”

Zhu Yan trampled on Ambassador White Dragon’s head and spoke arrogantly.

Shadow Slave’s strength was spent perhaps because his heart was tied to his master, or that he had been resisting the mechanisms over a long period of time.
