Chapter 754 - Hide Her Actual Situation from Them (1/2)

Lin Zhongyu did this with his back to Canying, so Canying did not notice his little trick at all.

After hesitating for a moment, Canying awkwardly smiled. The atmosphere became a little strange.

At the moment, he didn’t know whether to go or not.

If that woman really died and he offended the envoy because of this, wouldn’t he suffer a great loss?

“Sir, please don’t say that. I didn’t mean to go against you. Nevertheless… it’s of great significance, so I have to be cautious. Please don’t get me wrong,” Canying said.

The cold fragrance seemed to have integrated into the air that was not fresh in the cave.

Xiaoyu stopped sneering and did not answer, leaning against the stone wall casually and taking a nap.

Canying had no idea what the envoy had up his sleeve.

Gritting his teeth, Canying excused himself and led his men into the tunnel.

“Damn it!” Lin Zhongyu cursed. Of course, he was aware what Canying and his men were going to do. But since Lin Mengya had her plan, they presumably could not get what they wanted.

Calculating the time, he realized they had stayed here for three or four days. Long Tianyu and Qinghu, who cared about Lin Mengya a lot, should be on the way here now in any case.

As he thought, he showed complicated feelings in his eyes. He knew his sister’s character best. If she intended to hide her actual situation from them, she must have made a perfect plan.

However, Long Tianyu…

Hopefully, Long Tianyu would not make any trouble.

Although the copper slaves were numb to cold, if they kept staying outside, they would be frozen stiff.

Therefore, Canying instructed them to come into the cave every once in a while to warm themselves before taking their turns on duty outside.

Although the cave was on the hillside, a lot of noises could be heard at the entrance of the cave.

They, who were only slaves acting on instructions, naturally were not as perceptive and sensitive as normal people.

Thus, they did not notice a group of people sneaking up the mountain not far away.

Long Tianyu wrapped his slender figure tightly in his black cloak, and his deep and slanted eyes were bloodshot at the moment.

The tired look on his handsome face caused by the journey over the past few days made him look even more haggard.

He tried hard to suppress the anxiety in his eyes and just wanted to find out if his beloved woman was alright.

“Oh, no, it’s the copper slaves of the Blood Hall!” Qinghu, who had a snow-white cloak draped over his shoulders and stood beside Long Tianyu, narrowed his eyes to stare at the cave entrance not far away and said.

Others might be unaware of the origins of these people, but he knew them the best.

It was because if it were not for his good look and young age, it was very likely that he would have become one of them.

Before they became copper slaves, they had to go through much more unbearable pain than he had gone through.

And yet, although they could make it through that, they, who were trained in this way, were hard nuts to crack.

This time, Long Tianyu and Qinghu didn’t bring many people up the mountain. If they fought with the copper slaves, they might not gain the upper hand.

After all, the copper slaves were numb to pain, so what they had learned were all extremely violent blows that were tremendously difficult to tackle.

They would probably have a hard time.

“What are copper slaves?” Long Tianyu asked in a hoarse voice.

Although he deliberately lowered his voice, he sounded obviously anxious.

After giving a quick explanation, Qinghu clutched Long Tianyu’s hand to stop him who was anxious to take action.

Then Qinghu said, “Calm down. I think she should still be alright. The person capable of mobilizing so many copper slaves must not be a nobody. If she is really captured by them, we can just wait and see, as we will have a greater chance to save her.”

Long Tianyu knew what Qinghu said made sense, but he couldn’t bear to wait while his beloved woman was captured by the enemy.

When he and Qinghu went to wipe out the minions of the Candle Dragon Cult, a group of mysterious men proficient in martial arts descended from the sky.

Although he did not ask Lin Mengya in person, he roughly figured out what was going on.

Lin Mengya, who was too sick to walk without help, had made a thorough plan for him.

He always neglected her intelligence and cunningness and only treated her as an ordinary woman.

However, how could she, who was able to recover and regain her vitality after taking rank poison, be knocked out by the knockout drops, which even failed to knock him out?

Moreover, Qian Hua appeared out of nowhere, and Hou Yuetian seemed hesitant before they left.

Why did he, who could see through anyone else’s disguise, fail to see through her forced smile and trick?

The trip to the snow mountain was arduous, and she had only a slim chance of neutralizing the poison in her body.

He could not let his beloved woman face all this alone.

If she died, he would die peacefully in the pure white snow with her.

“I can’t wait any longer. Qinghu, everyone can die except for you. I’m sorry.” As Long Tianyu said, he stood up from where he was hiding, with a long and sharp sword in his hand.
