Chapter 760 A Reunion with an Old Friend

However, Xiaoyu was not totally right either.

There were many things that had to wait till she got to Lieyun and see for herself before making any decisions.

Now she just got a rough scope on things. So that she would not be completely in the dark when she arrived in Lieyun.

Although they were traveling in a hurry, Lin Zhongyu could sense that his sister seemed to be a bit absent-minded.

All along the way, she was either in a daze or lost in thought when talking to him.

Every time he asked her what was going on, she would always just smile apologetically.

Lin Mengya had made him feel uneasy. He was afraid that she would regret it one day and just leave.

In the past, Lin Zhongyu had never been so anxious about gains and losses. For some unknown reason, he was thinking so much now.

Fortunately, the Lieyun Empire was getting closer and closer, and Lin Mengya’s mentality was getting better and better.

Finally, after crossing the borders of the Nation of Dongxia, Lin Mengya was smiling a lot more and she seemed more cheerful. Xiaoyu was finally at ease.

“The territory of Lieyun is just up ahead. Do you think you will like it here sis?”

Although he tried his best to make it look like he didn’t care too much, Lin Mengya could still feel that as they got closer to Lieyun, Xiaoyu’s mood would improve quite a bit.

Leaning in the carriage, enjoying the exotic scenery, Lin Mengya just smiled and nodded, then shook her head.

“It is your homeland after all. I think I can never love it as much as you do. However, it will be a special place for me as a foreigner.”

Lin Mengya said it casually, but Xiaoyu’s eyes suddenly dimmed.

Fists were clenched in his cuffs, and a touch of aggression that belonged to a mature man suddenly flashed across those clear black eyes.

Fortunately, it was only for a moment, so Lin Mengya was not aware of it.

“You’re right, it’s not your homeland, but it doesn’t matter, as long as…”

The rest of the words were buried by the sound of horseshoes approaching.

Lin Mengya was also distracted by the sudden burst of people and horses, and did not notice the second half of Xiaoyu’s words.

She did not know these people, but the leader of the pack was an old acquaintance.

The carriage stopped in front of these people. After Lin Mengya fixed her clothes, she slowly opened the curtain.

There was a very polite smile on her pretty face.

“It’s been a long time, Mr. Lie, or, I should call you, Lord Nanshao.”

Wanyan Lie was stunned. He scanned the stranger’s face with his serious eyes and remembered how difficult it was to deal with the person before his eyes the last time they met.

Immediately, his face changed.

He would never forget that the reason he was able to take the young master away was that the woman had allowed him to do so.

Then, the usual coldness on Lin Zhongyu’s face appeared again as he helped Lin Mengya to dismount carefully.

Now that they were in the territory of the Lieyun Empire, he no longer needed to disguise himself.

Now his greyish white hair was tied neatly behind his head. He was still wearing the jade crown given to him by Lin Mengya, but the once simple and good-tempered boy was now stained with the smell of blood.

Even Wanyan Lie felt a little guilty.

However, this was a matter concerning the nation. Even if he had to sacrifice his life, he would not blink.

He naturally knew how much the young master depended on this woman and how obedient he was towards her.

Now that she was brought back by the young master, could it be that their great plan would be ruined because of a woman?

Judging by the hesitation evident on Wanyan Lie’s face, Lin Mengya had figured out what was going on.

After snorting coldly, she lifted her head and looked into their eyes fearlessly.

“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’m not the nation-destroying Empress. You think too highly of me. Since I asked Xiaoyu to come back with you, of course, I want him to return to his ancestral home. But I didn’t expect you to be so anxious.”

Apart from Xiaoyu, everyone else’s faces changed in an instant.

Wanyan Lie’s reputation in Lieyun was just as well-known as that psycho from the Xin family.

Now, a delicate woman dressed as a man dared to speak to him in this way. Immediately, some of the men disliked her and wanted to come out to defend their idol.

But just as they were about to do something, they were backed down by a cold and ruthless glare emanating from a pair of slightly tender eyes.

Everyone craned their necks, waiting for Wanyan Lie’s next move.

His face was dark momentarily, but then unexpectedly, he just turned to Lin Zhongyu and said something.

“Your mother has something to discuss with you. Don’t make her worry.”

Lin Zhongyu nodded, but his protective stance towards Lin Mengya did not change at all.

Wanyan Lie knew it was useless to say anything more. According to the young master’s character, he would protect that woman to the end.
