Chapter 732 Encounter Baique on the Way
They decided to travel with Hou Yuetian’s group so that they and Hou Yuetian’s group could take care of each other on the way and they could get some help after entering the Nation of Dongxia.
Qinghu understood this, and so did she.
Therefore, she had to make it clear to Hou Yuetian that they decided to travel with his group as they wanted some help in the Nation of Dongxia, but it did not mean that he could ask for whatever he wanted.
Lin Mengya knew that he was not this kind of person, but people weren’t what they seemed, and she could fully trust no one other than Qinghu.
“Well, as companions during this journey, we don’t have to be so particular about this. I’ve had enough rest, let’s hit the road,” Lin Mengya said.
Hearing this, Qinghu showed a complacent smile and glanced at Hou Yuetian with obvious disdain.
Well, he had lost the bet, so he had to consent to Hou Yuetian’s request.
But Lin Mengya was so fascinating that she talked Hou Yuetian over with only a few words.
Lin Mengya nodded at Hou Yuetian, and Qinghu helped her into the carriage.
After settling Lin Mengya down, Qinghu turned around, gazed at Hou Yuetian, who was dejected, and said, “You’d better not have any feeling for my sister. She is meant for someone else. Although the man is a jerk, I have to admit that he suits my sister better, while you don’t.”
Qinghu blurted out Hou Yuetian’s feeling that even he was not sure of.
Did he have feeling for her? Hou Yuetian was suddenly aware that his feeling for her was not necessarily so strong that he considered her as the only woman he wanted to marry.
But after weighing the pros and cons, he thought she might be the most suitable candidate for his wife.
Moreover, when Su Qingge said that she was likely to be able to recuperate her health, even Hou Yuetian could not deny that actually he was joyful.
He just didn’t expect that her brother pointed out his feeling for her even before he made sure of it.
Freezing for a moment, Hou Yuetian subconsciously had an aversion to the man Qinghu mentioned.
“Marriages are predestined. Sometimes the one you meet earlier may not be the perfect match for you. Brother Su, your sister is talented, proficient in medical skill, elegant and gentle. She is indeed a good candidate for wife. But I, Hou Yuetian, am not pushy. If your sister and I are meant to be together, please don’t get in our way,” Hou Yuetian said.
Hearing his words, Qinghu rolled his eyes at him and left him behind, while thinking how he dared to brag about that.
If Long Tianyu learned this, Hou Yuetian might not even be able to leave Dajin, as Long Tianyu got jealous easily.
Qinghu instinctively stole a glance at Lin Mengya, who was sitting peacefully in the carriage behind him, wondering if Lin Mengya was born to be a femme fatale that one and another men fell in love with her.
Lin Mengya was confused about what Qinghu had talked with Hou Yuetian so that both of them glanced at her with different looks in their eyes.
Too lazy to find out about it, Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes and began to leaf through the book she scanned and stored in the Shen Nung system last night.
However, just as she was concentrating on reading, from the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of a dark figure pouncing towards her carriage from the bushes.
Not to mention Lin Mengya, even the coachman seemed to be startled.
“Who is it?!” He immediately stopped the carriage, jumped down, stared warily at the person pouncing on them and asked.
“Don’t, don’t kill me!” Hearing the trembling voice, Lin Mengya poked her head out of the carriage curiously.
She took a closer look, only to find that it was a young woman about 18 or 19 years old who stopped her carriage.
Despite the woman’s innocent face, there was a hint of fear in her watery eyes.
Nevertheless, glancing at the woman’s slightly bulging belly, Lin Mengya was immediately sure that she was married.
“Where are you from?” Lin Mengya asked.
They were in the middle of nowhere.
Although they were about to arrive at the main road, it was still a very desolate place.
The woman about five or six months pregnant, who was dressed in rags with her face covered with dirt, looked in a mess, which aroused Lin Mengya’s suspicion.
“Miss, please save me! I’m from Niuxin Town not far from here. Unexpectedly, I was kidnapped and taken to the temple for the Mountain Deity by a group of people three months ago, and they, they attempted to kill me and take my baby out. If the Mountain Deity had not blessed me, I wouldn’t have been able to escape two days ago and both my baby and I would have been killed!” After finishing speaking, the young pregnant woman burst into tears.
Niuxin Town? Wasn’t it the place where they managed to escape last night?
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya instructed someone to help the pregnant woman up and felt her pulse under the supervision of Qinghu.
