Chapter 743 - The Relic of the Guwei State (2/2)

“When Baili Rui and I were young, we were recruited by the Candle Dragon Cult, but were not taken seriously. It was not until we got old that we realized that we were so close to death back then. I’m different from Baili Rui who has no family members other than a nephew, so I had to deal with them courteously but without sincerity and pay special attention to their movements over the years. Unexpectedly I discovered they have been tracking you,” Qian Hua said.

Hearing his words, Long Tianyu felt a chill run through him in an instant.

The abominable Candle Dragon Cult had almost ruined his life back then.

Moreover, considering the Candle Dragon Cult’s several attempts to hurt Lin Mengya, he hated it to the core.

“Sir, do you know what they are up to?” He asked.

However, after Qian Hua heard Long Tianyu’s question, there was a hesitant look in his eyes.

After thinking for a while, he looked into Long Tianyu’s eyes with a serious look and said, “Before answering this question, I’d like to ask you, do you want the relic of the Guwei State?”

The relic of the Guwei State!

Hearing this, Long Tianyu pursed his thin lips with his pupils contracting for a moment, as this was the best-kept secret only known to generations of monarchs of the Jin State, who inherited the throne legitimately!

Even he just heard this from his father, the Emperor, before he left the Capital City.

Nevertheless, his father told him that even some of the other countries might be unaware of this.

In this case, where did Qian Hua learn this?

“Perhaps I should ask you in another way. If you were to make a choice between the relic of the Guwei State and the woman behind you, which one do you think you will choose?” Qian Hua asked.

The relic of the Guwei State was a secret that could help a monarch dominate the world.

Among generations of monarchs of the Jin State, many of them had exerted all their strength and wisdom for this secret.

It was an unattainable dream to common people, but monarchs kept pursuing it in the way that Kua Fu chased the sun.

It was tremendously tempting with great hidden danger.

However, Long Tianyu considered it could never compare with Lin Mengya.

“She’s all I want,” Long Tianyu answered decisively without hesitation, which stunned Qian Hua.

Standing there, he even wondered if he and Prince Yu were talking about the same thing.

However, when he saw that Long Tianyu occasionally glanced at Lin Mengya, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Unexpectedly, he saw another devoted man from the Long Family after these twists and turns.

“Since you choose her, I might as well tell you the woman behind you is the key to solving the puzzle of the relic of the Guwei State. Do you know why both the Candle Dragon Cult and your father have paid special attention to her? That’s because she is the key to solving the puzzle of the relic of the Guwei State,” Qian Hua said.

Lin Mengya had something to do with the relic of the Guwei State?

Long Tianyu opened his eyes wide without the slightest joy.

He was stunned for a moment, but held her tightly in his arms again.

It explained why Madam Lin refused to reveal her real identity to her children although she suffered from great injustices and even had to die.

It turned out that she did that because Lin Mengya bore the clue to the relic of the Guwei State.

If Lin Mengya didn’t marry him, he would not discover the secret she bore.

In that instant, Long Tianyu felt as if a knife were being twisted in his heart, because he was keenly aware of what the relic of the Guwei State would bring.

If the news went out, Lin Mengya could never be joyful for the rest of her life.

“Nevertheless, don’t be so upset. All of them are suspicious of it. No one in this world other than you and me know it. Rest assured, I will keep it secret. My family was almost ruined because of the relic of the Guwei State. I will be the last person passing on the secret. You don’t have to know my real identity. Just remember that I will never reveal the secret,” although Qian Hua did not behave in a refined manner as before, he said word by word as if his heart were shedding blood.

Long Tianyu held Lin Mengya in his arms and nodded at him.

The relic of the Guwei State was an obsession deeply rooted in their hearts. Knowing that it was an unattainable dream, their Long Family still treated it as the biggest secret and passed it down from generation to generation.

Qian Hua also nodded at him and turned to leave.

“Oh, there is indeed Seven Poisons Sacred Grass on the island in the middle of the lake outside Jiang City, but it’s a fake. Only the one on the snowy mountain is real. Tell her, and she will know what to do.” Qian Hua’s voice gradually vanished in the air.

Long Tianyu just quietly stared at the woman sleeping soundly in his arms with his head down, thinking he must protect her from any danger.
