On the way down the mountain, they did not speak. In the shortest time possible, they got rid of the surveillance of the hidden sentries on the Duck Mountain.
"Phew —"
After confirming that it was safe, Lin Mengya let out a long sigh.
She looked calm, but in fact, she was very nervous.
If it wasn't for her luck, they would have to face a fierce battle today.
She could not help but hold Long Tianhao's hand. Through her slightly wet palm, he could feel her nervousness.
Long Tianhao gently held her hand back. His broad and thick palm was warm and dry, as if he had completely embraced her.
"Ahem, both of you, let's go somewhere else first."
Master Huo covered his mouth, he could not help but feel a little jealous.
Although there were many couples on the mountain, he had never seen one like these two.
Unavoidably, he was a little tempted.
"Alright."
Long Tianhao nodded, he called his men and whispered a few words to them. Then, he followed Master Huo back to the Black Tiger Stockade.
The people in the stockade had been informed in advance. Seeing that they had returned, everyone was a little excited.
Especially when they saw Miss Song, many women immediately wanted to come up and talk to her, but were stopped by Wu Ying.
"Master, everyone, please come in."
Wu Ying, who had always been kind, now looked a little nervous.
When Lin Mengya and the others arrived at the hall, they saw Wang Yan and a few unfamiliar brothers there.
When they saw Master Huo, they cupped their fists and said, "Greetings, First Master!"
"We are all brothers, sit."
Master Huo waved his hand, and the few people sat around Wang Yan.
Wu Ying personally poured tea for everyone, and finally, he also sat in the middle of those people.
Lin Mengya looked around and seemed to understand something.
"First Master, the brothers have all returned after receiving your message. Is this true? "
Wang Yan's eyes were a little anxious.
She saw that the others were the same.
Master Huo pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Wu Shuang who was sitting beside her.
"Young Madam Song, I would like to ask you a question."
Li Wu Shuang did not expect that he would ask him.
He subconsciously looked at Lin Mengya, and after getting her tacit approval, he then timidly opened his mouth.
"Great Leader, please speak."
"You … Are you related to the Ancient race as well?"
Li Wu Shuang frowned.
His true identity had always been a secret, but on the surface, his relationship with the Li Clan was not something that could not be revealed.
Nodding his head, he said, "I'm from the Li clan of the ancient race."
The way those people looked at him immediately softened a lot.
Even Old Huo couldn't help but lower his voice.
"From the looks of it, the Li Clan should be in favor of intermarriage?"
Li Wu Shuang thought of the current situation of the Gu Family, and said after some deliberation, "Our Li Family has always advocated intermarriage with outsiders. However, because we belong to the Lower Flux Race, no one said anything about it."
Lin Mengya knew that the ancient clan's influence was very complicated.
Among them, there were two major factions that had been fighting for more support.
For example, although the Li Clan was a member of the lower flux clan, the proportion of them in the Elder Council was too small.
Moreover, the place where they lived was quite barren.
That was because they didn't have a deep understanding of sectarian bias.
In contrast, there was the Upper Flux Clan.
That was the real secret of the ancient race.
Even Li Wu Shuang, a member of the Li Clan, only knew that they were of noble birth and occupied many seats in the Elder Council.
Sure enough, when they heard him say that the Li Clan belonged to the lower flux clan, they couldn't help but show some disappointment on their faces.
"Madame Song, do you know about fortune-telling?"
Old Huo's eyes were filled with grief and indignation.
Li Wu Shuang's complexion suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Fortune-Telling? Heavens, how can there be such a cruel existence in this world?
But I clearly heard from my father that ten years ago, the Elder Council was forced to abolish fortune-telling under pressure, didn't they? "
But Old Huo sneered and said, "Indeed. In just one night, all fortune-tellers disappeared.
At first, I thought that they were moved back to the clan, but later I found out that they were actually treated as livestock and raised in captivity. "
Fortune-Telling, what was it?
From Li Wu Shuang and Old Huo's reactions, Lin Mengya had some guesses.
But if it was really like what she thought, then it was too cruel!
Li Wu Shuang looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.
"Who, who did this? Does the Elder Council know? "
"Apart from them, who else would have such a great ability?"
The man sitting next to Wang Yan coldly said with a face full of anger.
Li Wu Shuang quivered, a chill ran down his spine.
"This is too absurd! Fortune-Telling is also a human, how can they be so selfish? "
Lin Mengya quietly pulled Li Wu Shuang and asked in a soft voice, "This fortune-telling, what does it mean?"
Li Wu Shuang bit his lips, it was difficult for him to speak.
Old Huo, who was sitting opposite her, let out a long sigh and said, "Fortune-Telling actually means to 'nourish' people."
In his eyes, there was an unfathomable coldness.
"Miss Song, do you know about the disease of the ancient race's bloodline?"
She nodded her head.
"I roughly know."
"Compared to the Lower Flux Clan, who marry with outsiders, the Upper Flux Clan, who always think that their bloodline is superior to others, actually have a much more serious disease.
They don't allow their clansmen to marry with outsiders, but they found out that the children born with outsiders have a much better disease.
Therefore, they came up with a solution — to exchange flesh for flesh, blood for blood, and bone for bone! "
The last twelve words almost exhausted all of Old Huo's self-control.
"Nourishing" was the "tonic" of those guys!
Using fresh lives to prolong their deformed, struggling life!
Even Lin Mengya, who was quite knowledgeable, couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"Absurd! This is simply absurd! "
As a doctor, she respected every life.
People's birth, aging, sickness, and death were the laws of nature. But, in order to live, they took away the lives of others.
This kind of thing made her especially angry.
"Then these fortune-telling … no, these victims, can't they resist?"
But before her voice faded, she heard Wu Ying say with a bitter smile, "Our parents, our relatives are in the hands of those people, how can we escape?"
In the crowd, Wang Yan had been caressing a silver bracelet on his wrist.
The design was a little old, and it could be seen that it should be worn by a child.
But Wang Yan tied a rope on both sides of the bracelet, and then tied it to his wrist.
That was a relic left by his sister.
He saw with his own eyes that his sister had been drained of blood by those people.
She died because her blood was drained.
Since then, he had a firm belief.
He wanted revenge!
Wu Ying's words, made the surrounding people silent.
But what shrouded them, was a strong sorrow and indignation that could not be dispersed.
Li Wu Shuang sympathized with them, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
But, he quickly controlled his emotions.
"Old Huo, you must have a way to save these people, right? I, although I'm timid, and I can't help you with anything, but if you need me, just say the word! "
He patted his chest, and the next moment, the crowd only saw two things suddenly roll down from his skirt.
The two cloth bags that looked like steamed buns only stopped after they rolled far away.
Everyone was confused.
Then they looked at the young madam of the Song family. Huh? How did that exquisite and well-proportioned body of hers become so much flatter in an instant?
Li Wu Shuang's face turned red, he stumbled over and picked up the two cloth bags.
Then, in front of everyone, he put the cloth bags back on his chest.
"I'm sorry, I made a fool of myself."
After Li Wu Shuang finished, he realized what kind of stupid thing he had just done.
He covered his face and hid behind Lin Mengya, feeling that he would never be able to face anyone again!
Lin Mengya looked at the stunned people, and smiled awkwardly.
"Haha, let's continue, personal hobbies, hobbies."
Old Huo was dumbfounded.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, he had seen many strange people and strange things over the years.
After thinking for a moment, he ordered in a low voice, "Cough, no one is allowed to go out and talk nonsense! Young madam, rest assured, my brothers, are not the kind of people who like to gossip. "
Li Wu Shuang buried his head even deeper.
Seeing this, Lin Mengya felt that she had to explain for Wu Shuang, lest others think that he had some special hobby.
"Actually, our family's Wu Shuang is a man. The reason why I'm dressed up like this is because of some unspeakable reason. I hope that everyone will forget about this matter. "
Everyone nodded.
The young madam of the Song family was actually a man! Then what about the young master of the Song family?
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, as if they had found out some kind of inside story.
"This, this we can all understand!"
At this critical moment, Wu Ying finally rushed out, and mediated the situation.
"In my mother's hometown, there are weak boys who pretend to be girls and raise them, it is said that this way they can live to a hundred years old!"
Everyone nodded.
Oh, so it was like this.
But the weak one, wasn't it the young master of the Song family?
Immediately, everyone looked at Lin Mengya with puzzled eyes.
Miraculously, the latter understood, after a few seconds of fake smile, she slightly nodded at everyone.
Yes, that's right, it was exactly what they were thinking!
Only then did everyone suddenly understand.
So it was actually a reversal of yin and yang, a good show of a fake phoenix and a fake phoenix!
Seeing that she had finally deceived everyone, Lin Mengya only felt very tired.
She lightly patted Li Wu Shuang's shoulder.
"Alright, everyone knows what is going on, you can come out now."
Li Wu Shuang's eyes were red, but fortunately, everyone's eyes did not have any evil intentions, so he calmed down.
And after he accidentally made such a scene, the atmosphere was no longer so heavy.
"Young … no, Brother Li, can I ask, when you were caught and brought to the Duck Mountain, did you meet anyone?"
