Chapter 730 Escape at Night

It turned out that Hou Yuetian actually had such a story.

Lin Mengya gazed at him with her eyes gradually softening and nodded.

Hou Yuetian’s words might not be entirely true.

But she knew that even if he tried to make an excuse to deceive her, he would never use his mother as an excuse.

“If that’s the case, let’s travel together. Actually, traveling with us may do no good to you. These days you should be able to tell that we’re beset by crisis,” Lin Mengya said.

Since she said so, it meant that at least she would no longer treat Hou Yuetian as an enemy.

Hou Yuetian, who understood what she meant, suddenly stood up, bowed deeply to her and said, “Thank you, Miss. If we can get to the Nation of Dongxia safely, I, Hou Yuetian, will definitely perform my duty as host and do all I can to help you.”

As a smart person, he certainly knew that if he continued traveling with Miss Su and her brother, he and his company would encounter many difficulties.

However, it was undeniable that he and his company were also beset with crisis right now.

Even if they were to travel on their own, they might not be able to arrive at the Nation of Dongxia safely.

He might as well travel with Miss Su and her brother, who were not ordinary people and led a group of capable people, which could offer him and his company a better chance of arriving at the Nation of Dongxia safely.

“Don’t mention it. By the way, I’m wondering what medicinal material are you looking for, Mr. Hou?” Lin Mengya asked.

Knowing that Lin Mengya was proficient in medical skill, Hou Yuetian immediately told her about his mother’s illness, the prescription and the missing medicinal material without hiding anything.

“It turns out that the poison in your mother’s body has spread to her heart as she has run out of heart blood. I suppose the physician giving you this prescription must have used a moderate method to improve your mother’s health condition, right? The prescription is not bad, but I suppose if you can find a hot spring, put the medicinal powder in it and then let your mother bath in it every day, the medicine will do no harm to your mother’s body,” Lin Mengya said.

She had always appreciated those as straightforward as Hou Yuetian, who presented the prescription to her without hesitation.

She pointed out the only small flaw in the prescription out of kindness. Unexpectedly, Hou Yuetian was even more amazed by her, such a sickly and intelligent girl.

The prescription was given by the best famous doctor in the Nation of Dongxia.

Ordinary doctors would be amazed at the doctor’s miraculous medical skill after glancing over the prescription, and it was impossible for them to point out the flaw in it.

Despite her young age, Miss Su knew a lot about pharmacology and medical science. Now, Hou Yuetian became even more curious about her real identity.

“What on earth is her family background?” He involuntarily wondered.

“Don’t look at me like that. I can only tell you that my teacher is one of the top medical masters in the world. As for other things, Mr. Hou, I think someone as smart as you won’t get to the bottom of it, right?” After finishing speaking, Lin Mengya, who had no intention of showing off, tilted her head and showed a playful smile at Hou Yuetian.

Perhaps considering her mother, she had more respect for all the other mothers around the world.

However, the Empress, who had committed monstrous crimes for her children, was an exception.

“Well, I understand,” Hou Yuetian said.

They nodded at each other, both well aware that since neither of them was completely frank, they could only hear some words, that were partly genuine and partly sham.

Nevertheless, being relatively frank with each other greatly eased the atmosphere between the two of them.

Although Hou Yuetian did not know why Lin Mengya cared so much about this matter, he had a rather deep analysis of it.

The two of them instantly began to exchange their views on this matter.

“Given the extermination of Witch Wang’s Family and the murder of Mrs. Huang, it seems that someone intended to murder them to prevent divulgence of his secret,” Hou Yuetian said with a serious look in his eyes.

Even the soldiers on the battlefield killed the enemy as they had to do so.

What was more, he smelled the scent of conspiracy from this strange thing.

“Yes, it’s true that someone intended to murder them to prevent divulgence of his secret. Besides, based on what the old man said today, I make a wild guess,” Lin Mengya said.

Apart from the evil method to get pregnant, there was almost no connection between Witch Wang and Mrs. Huang.

That was to say, their being murdered could only be related to this matter.

The old man had said that the Mountain Deity only allowed the families with no daughter and unmarried sons to leave here.

She couldn’t help thinking of the weird thing happening to Mrs. Huang, who had suffered a miscarriage three years ago and even lost her womb mysteriously.

In this case, were the members of the twelve families, that had also been killed, related to this matter?

Besides, who sent the old man to tell them all the information? What was his purpose?

All of these were like a mystery to her.

She believed as long as they found the clue to this mystery, all the problems would be solved readily.

This was the reason why she agreed to let Qinghu go to inquire his two subordinates, who had been missing and suddenly showed up, about what had happened to them.

She was wondering what information Qinghu would get.

“Qinghu has not come back after leaving for such a long time. Did he get into any trouble?

“Nevertheless, there is probably no one in such a small town capable of getting Qinghu, such a master in martial arts, into trouble,” she thought.

After chatting with Hou Yuetian for a long time, Lin Mengya looked out of the window frequently and became suspicious.
