Chapter 756 - Proper Arrangement (2/2)

After that, he put on an indifferent look again and said, “I’ll stay here to guard my sister and go back later. Although the people you left behind are highly skilled in martial arts, few of them know about poison. I need to take care of the pool where my sister’s body is kept.”

He had said and done everything he should say and do.

Although Lin Zhongyu did not want to be his sister’s “accomplice”, at the thought that he could take his sister to his country safely, he was in excitement incompatible with the current situation.

Fortunately, he usually showed an indifferent look. Meanwhile, Long Tianyu and Qinghu were preoccupied with Lin Mengya’s safety, so they did not notice the slight flaw he showed.

Knowing that his reluctance to leave would only make Lin Mengya wake up later, Long Tianyu said, “Alright, she has missed you terribly. Stay here with her for a few days and take care of this place after we leave.”

After giving Lin Zhongyu instructions, Long Tianyu led Qinghu and his men down the mountain.

There was only one way to climb the snow mountain Qijue Peak, and the low temperature on the mountain made it not suitable for people to stay, so those people settled at the foot of the mountain.

Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief after they left.

Fortunately, he had another way to go up and down the mountain, otherwise, it would be difficult for him and his sister to get away.

Last time Lin Mengya had fallen asleep for about three days. This time, Lin Zhongyu stayed close to the snake head pool, for fear that he would be absent when his sister woke up.

Finally, after waiting for a day and a night, he saw that the calm pool began to ripple slowly.

After a snow-white hand was reached out of the water, with a “whoosh”, Lin Mengya showed up in front of Xiaoyu like a beauty who had just taken a bath.

“Ahem… ahem… I was choked by the water. I can’t use this method at will, otherwise I will drown myself sooner or later,” she said.

The suspended animation caused by the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass was very strange. Lin Mengya was not very sure how the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass did that, but just knew that after entering the state of suspended animation, not only did she not need to breathe, but also she needed much less energy to maintain her heartbeat and normal physical functions.

Moreover, she stayed in a hot spring, so she needed much less energy to maintain her temperature.

As such, after sleeping for a day and a night, she still had some strength.

Nevertheless, she, who just woke up, felt that her arms and legs went weak, as if they did not belong to her.

“If you want to use this method to deceive them again, you’d better do it yourself. You have no idea how difficult it is to convince Long Tianyu and Qinghu, especially Long Tianyu who almost committed suicide for you.” Lin Zhongyu complained as he was busy picking Lin Mengya up from the pool neatly.

Then he completely wrapped her in a dry cloak he prepared in advance and helped her out of the cave.

“Did he really attempt to commit suicide for me?” Lin Mengya asked.

Hearing Xiaoyu’s words, she felt that her heart skipped a beat.

Although she knew Long Tianyu’s feelings for her, she could not help but sigh in her heart at the thought that Long Tianyu attempted to commit suicide for her.

“Yes, but don’t worry. I’ve told him that you’re not thoroughly dead. Sister, are you sure he won’t try to commit suicide again?” Lin Zhongyu said.

He helped Lin Mengya sit down in front of the raging fire in the cave outside.

Lin Mengya had to recover her strength before going downhill. Lin Zhongyu took out some porridge he prepared and placed it in front of Lin Mengya.

“He won’t. Since he knows a way to save me, he will take good care of himself for the sake of saving me,” Lin Mengya said.

Lin Mengya held the bowl of porridge and tried hard to suppress her reluctance to part with Long Tianyu, and her eyes with tears were almost blurred by the steam from the porridge.

She also missed Long Tianyu terribly, wanted to tell him that she was still alive, and wanted to live with him forever no matter what happened.

However, she must handle this properly alone for their future.

“If you are really reluctant to part with him, let me send him a letter to tell him that you are still alive, isn’t that great?” Lin Zhongyu said.

Seeing his sister still insisted on handling the matter by herself despite her red eyes, he felt sorry for that.

But Lin Mengya shook her head. After taking a big sip of warm porridge, she seemed to have regained some strength.

She said, “No, this matter is of great importance. Do you think it’s really safe to stay with Long Tianyu? I think his father, who relegated me to a vice Princess and let me move back to the Lin’s Mansion, is up to the same thing. If I can’t even hide my whereabouts from him, how can I hide my whereabouts from the members of the Candle Dragon Cult?”

Once she realized something, it was difficult to pretend to be unaware of it.

In fact, Lin Mengya did not want to come to this point. But things were unpredictable. Even her mother probably did not expect the secret her mother had tried hard to hide would become the biggest burden to her.

Everyone said that she took a lot after her mother. But only she knew that the biggest difference between her and her mother was that her mother was willing to bet on her life to hide these things, while she dared to break down all barriers like a fearless beast.

Although they were both willing to sacrifice their lives, they got completely different results.

“I just feel sorry for Long Tianyu who loves you so dearly. Sister, I’m confused. Since you like him so much, why can’t you go through thick and thin with him?” The young man with greyish white hair sitting beside Lin Mengya asked with a puzzled look.

He really wanted his sister to go with him, but he could see the current situation clearly.

Long Tianyu was reluctant to part with Lin Mengya, and so was Lin Mengya.
