Shang Tong's expression changed immediately.
Although there were still tears at the corner of her eyes, the loving look on her face turned cold in an instant.
Lin Mengya knew something was wrong. What was going on?
"Don't get me wrong. There's no old relationship between your teacher and me. Since you're his student, you must have inherited his teachings, right? "
Lin Mengya nodded. Shang Tong's eyes flashed and she casually poked Lin Mengya's forehead with a sneer.
"You people from the Poison Sect are all up to no good. Go back and tell your useless teacher that he's the person I hate the most in my life! "
Wasn't the contrast a little too big?
After Shang Tong finished speaking, she got up and was about to leave.
Lin Mengya would not allow her to leave so easily. She immediately went forward and grabbed her sleeve.
But Shang Tong looked at her in surprise and asked, "How can you still move?"
"Oh, do you mean that you just poisoned me? That little thing doesn't work on me. "
She said with a smile. In fact, it was just a little drug that could numb the body.
Although she did not know what was wrong with Shang Tong, the drug was not harmful to the body at all. Naturally, she knew that Shang Tong did not mean her any harm.
But she was a little curious. When Shang Tong mistook her for her teacher's daughter, she was gentle and modest. Why did she turn against her when she said that she was his student?
"Let go of me! Didn't your teacher tell you? You'll die the moment you meet me! "
Shang Tong was a little angry and tried to pull her hand back.
Lin Mengya did not understand what Shang Tong meant. She just felt that Shang Tong could not leave so easily. Just when they were arguing, another person quickly walked up to them.
"That's enough, Shang Tong. What do you want to do to my student?"
Baili Rui originally felt a little guilty about Shang Tong. When he heard what Shang Tong said just now, he was sure that Shang Tong wanted to harm his beloved student.
When Shang Tong heard his voice, her whole body trembled.
She looked stiffly at the man whom she yearned for day and night, but he was glaring at her.
Her heart suddenly ached as if it was cut by a knife.
"What did she do to you, lass? Are you alright? "
Baili Rui pulled the two of them away and immediately checked.
Lin Mengya shook her head. With her abnormal physique, not to mention a little anesthetic, even two catties of Crown Crane would be enough for her to eat as long as she didn't mind the bitterness.
Shang Tong also woke up, her eyes slightly red.
"Baili Rui, do you really want to die? Have you forgotten the warning the Medicine Order had given you? This student of yours will get you killed! "
Hearing this, Baili Rui sneered.
"Kill me? Weren't the members of the Medicine Order the ones who had murdered my entire family? I know you didn't know, so I didn't vent my anger on you. Moreover, you were also implicated because of me, so I even feel a little guilty towards you. However, if you and your bullsh * t Medicine Order dare to lay a finger on my students, I will never let you off even if I have to risk my old life! "
Shang Tong clutched his chest and took a few steps back.
After so many years, she had never imagined that he would still be so stubborn and that his hatred was still so sharp.
"Back then, the Medicine Order was indeed heartless. However, that was also a cycle of karma. Later on, the Medicine Order let you go only so that you would never pass on the art of poison. If anyone finds out that you have taken in a student, the Medicine Order will not let you off! "
Lin Mengya saw the worry in Shang Tong's eyes, and also the anger hidden deep in her teacher's heart.
However, this was a matter of the previous generation, so it was not appropriate for her to interrupt.
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, she immediately stepped out to smooth things over.
"I'm afraid the two of you need a quiet space to talk. There are so many people coming and going here, there are some things you can't talk about, right?"
With her interruption, the two of them temporarily held back what they should and should not say.
Lin Mengya took the opportunity to ask Baisu to send the two of them to the west courtyard where her teacher lived.
It would take a while for him to finish talking about those old and useless things.
The reason why she came here was to give Shang Tong a chance to talk to her.
Now that the banquet in the front courtyard was almost over, she naturally had to go back.
She leaned against the corner of the wall and waited for Baisu to return.
She felt a gaze that could almost materialize and was looking at her. Her heart suddenly jumped.
Who was looking at her?
She turned around and saw a person standing on the roof of the front courtyard.
Under the moonlight, the person was dressed in black. She could only see a tall and slender figure.
Inexplicably, she felt that the figure was very familiar, but also completely unfamiliar.
She had been hiding in the dark. Although she was startled by the figure, she reacted quickly and did not move.
She adjusted the system and activated the advanced concealment function.
Soon, she felt the person's gaze turn away from her hiding place.
It seemed that the person was also in a trance and was not sure that she was here.
Soon, the black figure disappeared and seemed to go in the direction of the garden.
Lin Mengya's heart was beating fast. What was going on? For tonight's banquet, the guards in the house had clearly done their work. Apart from the guests, no one should be able to break in.
Could it be that one of the guests wanted to harm the Gong family?
Without thinking too much, she immediately removed the concealment function and went to the garden.
When she reached the garden, she immediately ran in the direction of her fourth brother.
"Fourth Young Master …"
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard someone shouting, "Catch the thief! Catch the thief! "
The voice was from Ning Liang!
Gong Si frowned and immediately thought of the Ancestor and his children.
He had no time to care about anything else and rushed out in a hurry.
Ma Beichen and Cheng Su also stood up and looked outside.
"You watch here. I'll go out to help."
After saying that, Cheng Su also went out.
However, this time, Ma Beichen didn't bother to argue with him. After a slight change in expression, he pretended to be indifferent and said, "It must be someone's servant who was addicted to alcohol and went to the kitchen to eat some food."
He laughed. Even if others pricked up their ears to listen, they did not have the chance.
"Don't be afraid. It'll be fine."
Ma Beichen walked to her and comforted her in a low voice.
Lin Mengya had to nod and wait for the news outside.
At this time, she happened to look around along the crowd.
It was strange. Why didn't she see a similar figure?
Until Long Tianhao, who had something to do, arrived.
Lin Mengya looked at him and her pupils constricted violently.
She finally knew where the overly familiar feeling of the figure came from.
As soon as Long Tianhao arrived, he went straight to Lin Mengya without saying anything.
Especially when he saw Ma Beichen by the side, he became extremely possessive and shielded Lin Mengya behind him.
"Why did you come so late?"
In fact, Lin Mengya wanted to ask if the figure on the roof just now was him.
But as soon as she said that, she forcibly changed her words.
No, that person was definitely not Yu.
Although it was a little far away, she would never mistake him for someone else!
It should be because of the figure.
"I was delayed by something in the school. I heard that a thief broke in. Did he hurt you?"
Lin Mengya shook her head.
She wanted to talk about that figure, but Ma Beichen was still next to her. It seemed that she could only talk about it when they were alone.
The banquet was somewhat affected because of this small episode.
Fortunately, Ma Beichen and Aunt Lian were there, so there was no awkward silence.
Lin Mengya quickly calmed down and chatted with the others with a smile. Finally, everyone was calmed down.
But after seeing everyone off, she and Yu were invited to the inner court by her fourth elder brother.
Apart from the Gong family, Ma Beichen, Cheng Su, and the father and son of the Lian family were also there.
Seeing that the old ancestor of the Gong family and several young masters were fine, they chatted for a while.
However, they still couldn't let go of the things that happened tonight.
Soon, Lin Mengya finally knew what had happened under Ning Liang's explanation.
"I'm in charge of patrolling in the mansion. Because there is a banquet today, I'm extra careful. But I didn't expect to see a black figure flashing by. At first, he thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him, but after a while, another brother saw it. We followed along the way and found the bodies of two of our brothers in the grass. "
The one who first discovered someone sneaking in was a guard in charge of patrolling.
They were all good guards, but the one who could kill them silently was probably a real master.
What the other guard said was almost the same.
They both saw the black figure first, and then found the bodies of their own people when they investigated.
Five or six people died in their mansion that night, but even though Gong Si and Cheng Su led a team to investigate, they found nothing.
Lin Mengya frowned. Could it be that the black figure did this?
At the same time, the faces of the father and son of the Lian family were a little ugly.
Lian Xing looked at the people around him and said, "Father and I will be in charge of the safety outside tonight. We can be sure that we haven't seen anyone suspicious. "
The father and son of the Lian family were trustworthy. At that moment, Gong Si thought of the only possibility.
"I'm afraid that the thief has sneaked into the guests. But we've carefully checked every guest, so the chance of passing off a fish eye as a pearl is not high. "
This time, for the sake of safety, they chose two methods of verification.
In addition to checking the invitations, Gong Si also thought of cross-checking among the guests.
In other words, every time a guest arrived, in addition to handing over the invitations, he also deliberately arranged the seats of the people he knew together.
In this way, for example, A and B knew each other, and B knew C at the same time. Then when the three families sat together, they would have to exchange greetings and verify each other.
In this way, they could put an end to impersonation.
