Lin Mengya's sixth sense was sharper than that of an animal.
She sensed danger approaching, so she stepped back and fell into a familiar embrace.
The guards around them immediately restrained Zheng Luxi, who was struggling at death's door on the bed.
Lin Mengya followed Long Tianhao's hand and stood up. She was sure that Long Tianhao was not pretending to be a girl.
And just now, she also noticed something.
"Knock him out, don't let him die."
Since she had figured out the situation, there was no need for her to stay here and watch Zheng Luxi make a fool of himself.
He immediately dragged Yu away. However, the two of them did not return to the inn. Instead, they quietly climbed up to the roof of the inn.
"Zheng Luxi seems to be a failed product."
She had been aware of the failed products after Gu Pan identified the so-called two souls in one body in Jin State.
However, because this matter was too unbelievable and the relevant conditions were not ripe, Lin Mengya had not taken it seriously.
But Zheng Luxi's situation was somewhat similar to those people, but also different.
She tried hard to recall the few times she had seen him, and finally, she connected those strange points one by one.
First of all, it was his appearance.
In fact, Zheng Luxi's appearance was not bad, and he had a very masculine look.
But from the first time she saw him, his clothes tended to be gender-neutral.
Of course, she did not think it was bad for a man to be gender-neutral, but everything about Zheng Luxi was too feminine.
Including his room, his courtyard, it was more like a woman's boudoir.
However, the personality that Zheng Luxi displayed on the outside was deeply inconsistent with this.
Now when she saw "Situ Meng", everything seemed to be answered.
It was very likely that some aspects of "Situ Meng" were subtly changing Zheng Luxi.
And this feeling was definitely not formed in a day and night.
Otherwise, there would have been related rumors in the Zheng family.
Just now, when she probed him, she found that although Zheng Luxi's situation was different from those two souls in one body, Xiao Yao found that a certain part of his brain was particularly active.
It was as if a person had two consciousnesses at the same time.
However, it was obvious that Zheng Luxi hadn't been transformed into the real Situ Meng.
In fact, the two of them might not even know of each other's existence.
From the looks of it, it did seem like a failed product that was abandoned.
"There's one more thing. The Situ Clan was once a top-notch aristocratic family during the golden age of Immortal City."
Long Tianhao added after thinking for a while.
At this moment, Lin Mengya did not know what to say.
"This matter is actually related to the Immortal City, but if Situ Meng really came from the Immortal City, why would her consciousness appear in Zheng Luxi's body?"
Long Tianhao stared at her. After a while, he said in a low voice, "I don't know either. But I know that this is the biggest secret of the Immortal City."
"What?"
"The art of eternal life."
These four words almost nailed her to the ground.
Throughout the ages, there would always be people who would do shocking things in pursuit of eternal life.
But those attempts had all failed without exception.
But the wildfire would not be extinguished, and the spring wind would blow again.
Even now, there were quite a number of such people.
"Ridiculous! How could there be the art of eternal life in this world? "
She only felt that it was ridiculous, but Long Tianhao sighed.
"Not everyone is as clear-headed as you and I are."
Lin Mengya felt that what he said was true.
When a person had what he dreamed of, then his desire would be to have all of it forever.
Therefore, immortality became an illusion that they chased after.
"But even if Zheng Luxi wanted to pursue the art of eternal life, there was no need for him to transplant someone else's consciousness into his body, unless …"
She suddenly thought of a possibility.
Long Tianhao was the same as her. They looked at each other silently.
"Unless he was just a tool for someone else to achieve eternal life."
He continued to say what she had not finished.
Suddenly, Lin Mengya felt a little suffocated.
"Do you think it's all worth it?"
Long Tianhao held her tightly in his arms and rested his chin on her shoulder.
"I only know that no matter what, I will not sacrifice you and the children."
Lin Mengya sighed faintly. Even Zheng Luxi himself did not know that everything he had done was just for the benefit of others.
After all, it wasn't hard to imagine who would be able to use him as a guinea pig without him noticing at all.
At this moment, in a Taoist temple in Shang Yang City, Second Elder Zheng was sitting cross-legged in his room, chanting scriptures.
Soon, a little Taoist in the temple came to report to him that a guest had come to visit.
Second Elder Zheng was pleased to see the guest, but before he left, he quietly opened the secret chamber in the Taoist temple.
The secret chamber was not small, and there was a flickering candle light inside.
Under the light, a lad who looked very similar to Zheng Luxi was lying on the bed, unconscious.
The lad was thin, and his skin was too pale because he had not seen the light for a long time.
Second Old Master Zheng walked up and gently caressed the young man's face.
"Soon, the Zheng family will be mine. And I will be the most powerful person in the Zheng family forever. "
Under the candlelight, the lad was still silent. He did not hear the almost crazy declaration at all.
After taking another greedy look at the lad's fresh and youthful body, Second Elder Zheng left reluctantly.
Since she had found out the real purpose of the second branch of the Zheng family, Lin Mengya felt that some things could be carried out in advance.
Although she was sure that with the current technology, immortality was a big dream, in this aspect, the immortal city could not be speculated with common sense.
If Second Elder Zheng succeeded, then the father and daughter of the first branch of the Zheng family would be in danger.
After enduring for a night, Lin Mengya knocked on the door of the father and daughter of the Zheng family at dawn the next day.
Seeing the father and daughter who survived the disaster, it was obvious that they did not have a good night last night.
Especially when he learned that Su Mei had really taken the place of his daughter to take the risk, Zheng Congen was so touched that his eyes were filled with warmth.
"This time, I really have to thank you. I don't know if there is anything we can do to help. Please feel free to tell me. "
Lin Mengya waved her hand with a serious look and closed the door.
"Don't talk about repaying me for the time being. I only hope that you can consider letting Miss Rongrong inherit the position of the head of the family. "
Even Zheng Rongrong did not expect Sister Su to be so direct.
She was about to explain to her father, but suddenly realized that her father did not refute her.
Instead, he lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about something.
Lin Mengya signaled her with her eyes to calm down. Today, she was confident that she could make First Elder Zheng agree to this matter.
"If you think that Zheng Rongrong is not capable enough to let her take the position of the head of the family, then you can rest assured. The Gong family will do our best to help. And we will not interfere with the internal affairs of the Zheng family. "
This was a very important bargaining chip.
Although it could be tempting, there was also a lot of risk.
After all, everyone could say nice words, but when it was really related to interests, who could completely guarantee that they would not be dominated by greed?
Lin Mengya immediately saw through her father's thoughts, and immediately increased the stakes.
"Does First Elder Zheng hope that what happened to Mrs. Zheng will happen again?"
This time, Zheng Rongrong was stunned.
She was sure that she did not mention her mother's matter to her father.
But from Sister Su's words, did her father know about it?
Old Master Zheng's entire body trembled. His already ashen complexion became even worse.
"I … I'm old, and now I just want my daughter to be safe. As for other things, they are no longer important to me. "
He seemed to be relieved, but also helpless.
He raised his head and looked at his daughter guiltily.
"I'm sorry, Rongrong. I've made you suffer all these years."
Zheng Rongrong was at a loss, because she had no idea what had happened.
She looked at her father, and then at Su Mei.
But these two seemed to be talking in riddles, and no one could give her a reasonable explanation.
"Leave us first, I have something to tell Miss Su."
Zheng Rongrong did not want to leave, but seeing that Sister Su was also pleading for her, she had no choice but to leave.
Zheng Congen closed the door, and then let out a faint sigh.
"I didn't expect that this matter would be discovered by you. Please forgive me, it's all my fault, and it has nothing to do with Rongrong. "
Turning around, Zheng Congen looked as if he had aged a little in an instant.
Lin Mengya smiled, but there was a hint of coldness in her smile.
"Speaking of which, this is also the Zheng family's matter, and it has nothing to do with me. But I don't want the future neighbor of the Gong family to be a cruel man. No matter what unpleasant things happen, it's not what our two families want, don't you think so? "
Zheng Luxi was not the next successor to the family head.
When Lin Mengya found out that he was a failure, she had already figured it out.
Therefore, no matter how overboard he had been in his actions, no one bothered to care. That was because these actions were a reminder to him of his death.
This was a dream that he was destined to lose.
But the man in the dream knew nothing.
Old Master Zheng cherished the family's reputation, and even sacrificed his daughter's reputation and happiness to protect the family. How could he allow Zheng Luxi to ruin it behind his back?
Unless he knew it from the start.
He knew that Zheng Luxi would never inherit the Zheng family, and he also knew that the next head of the Zheng family would never hurt his daughter.
That was why he gave up the opportunity to unite the Zheng family by marriage, in exchange for a promise.
A promise that the Gong family would treat the Zheng family well.
All of this was part of his plan.
