However, what made him stop in his tracks was a power that made him lose control of his arms and legs in an instant.
If he hadn't tried his best to resist, he would have collapsed to the ground by now.
For the first time, there was a hint of panic in his black eyes.
However, he soon realized that all of this was the doing of that formidable lass opposite him.
"Do you want to know? I won't tell you. Little brat, remember to be polite to my elder sister. Otherwise, I'll make you suffer. "
Xiu, who had won the first round of confrontation, was obviously in a better mood.
From the moment they arrived at the mansion, they had been hindered by others. Elder Sister Princess did not seem to have any reaction, but Lin Mengya was suffocated by the feeling of being teased.
Now that she had taught this arrogant kid a lesson, it could be said that she had vented her anger.
As the saying went, one should look at the master before beating the dog. Today, she had beaten this arrogant dog, which could be regarded as a fierce counterattack to his master.
Lin Mengya did not stop Xiu from using poison. Since she came here, she seemed to be played in the palm of someone's hand.
Zhu Yun always looked harmless, but every time he did something, she could not figure out what he was thinking.
Although she could keep her composure, it was not that she did not have any anger.
Moreover, only when they were evenly matched could there be a possibility of confrontation. Otherwise, it would just be a one-sided massacre. That was all.
"Where's your master?"
Lin Mengya's eyes were cold, and her whole body burst out with momentum, which was far from what a delicate girl could have.
However, even if she was in a disadvantageous position, she would always remain calm in the face of danger.
Zhu Yan still wanted to make things difficult for them, but Lin Mengya said to Xiu,
"Get rid of the poison in him. The main point is still behind."
"That's right. My master is famous. If you dare to hurt me, my master will make sure you can't walk out of this door!"
Before he was done, he started to clamor again.
Lin Mengya just glanced at him indifferently and said,
"Oh? Really? "
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhu Yan meaningfully. Now, Lin Mengya was getting closer to the truth in her heart.
In terms of shrewdness, Zhu Yan and Xiu did not seem to have this ability.
Although Hongyu had experienced many things in life, she still had the heart of a child deep in her heart.
Lin Mengya was the only one who seemed to be a heroine upholding justice. When it came to scheming, not many people would be able to defeat her.
Now, she had met her match and was being played around in circles.
However, it was still unknown who would emerge victorious.
On the way, Zhu Yan still wanted to provoke him. However, when he saw the inch-long emerald green snake in Xiu's hand, he could only shut his mouth unwillingly.
The four of them passed through a long winding corridor, and a stretch of bamboo suddenly appeared in front of them.
"My boss has only invited Princess Yu. You'd better wait here with me."
Although his eyes still couldn't contain anyone, in the end, Zhu Yan was a bit more courteous than before.
Hongyu and Xiu naturally refused, but Lin Mengya pressed their hands and shook her head.
Since they were her enemies, she had to face them.
The bluish-gray stone road was very flat and meandered all the way to the depths of the bamboo forest.
On the side of the stone road, there were small orange lamps hanging on the bamboo which was as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
Although the sun had already set, everything in the bamboo forest was very clear and panoramic.
Lin Mengya walked gracefully and lightly. Soon, she saw a figure in white sitting in the bamboo forest.
Zhu Yun's back was facing her, and he was holding a teacup with bright jade patterns in his hand. It seemed that he was enjoying the beautiful scenery in the forest.
Lin Mengya looked at him, her guard up. But the expression on her face became more and more indifferent.
Minding his own business, he sat on the stone bench opposite Zhu Yun and picked up the cup of tea that had been dipped in the bamboo fragrance. She just took a sip of the light yellow tea, and the faint fragrance made her feel as if she was in a tea garden.
The tranquil and elegant fragrance was like a lingering sound, unforgettable.
The tea was good, but it was a pity that it was not the right time to taste it.
"How is it?"
Holding the teacup in his hand, Zhu Yun turned back and looked at Lin Mengya with a smile.
"Although I don't understand it, it's really good."
Lin Mengya put down the cup in her hand. Neither of them got to the point. But the game between them had already begun.
"This tea is called Drink of Injustice and Sin. It uses human flesh as fertilizer and human blood to water it. Although the tree is rooted in piles of bones, it is rare that it is not stained with any smell of blood. Compared with other tea, it is more quiet and refreshing. This tea is most popular among the literati and officials. One tael is worth a hundred gold ingots. "
Zhu Yun explained very patiently, and his gentle tone highlighted the inexplicable strangeness of this tea.
But Lin Mengya remained calm and took a sip of the tea in the cup.
"This method is excellent. Human blood is used to water it, and human flesh is used as soil. It is said that human beings are the first spiritual creatures in the world. Sure enough, it is true. "
Seeing that Lin Mengya looked calm, Zhu Yun did not show the slightest surprised expression as if he had already expected it.
"Sure enough, you are just like what he said. This little trick really can't scare you. But, Your Highness, do you know why I want to invite you for another chat? "
Zhu Yun poured himself another cup of tea and looked at Lin Mengya in front of him with a faint smile. There was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
"Since I betrayed my former master, I naturally have to choose a stable way out. Others' words can't be trusted. Of course, some things should be seen by oneself. But, I wonder if Mr. Zhu is satisfied with me? "
Lin Mengya's eyes were clear. She was not stupid. If it was said that when she first saw Zhu Yun, she was more afraid of him. Now, it was more of an investigation.
Zhu Yun was not only guarded against her, but also tried to test her. Now, he did not avoid her at all.
In the courtyard, these should be secrets. But now, she had personally tested them one by one.
More or less, she was more or less certain of Zhu Yun's purpose.
Either he wanted to kill her to silence her, or his intention was very subtle.
"Princess Yu, you really know how to joke. How can you be sure that I want to work for a better master? The world is big, but there are not many good masters. Although I'm not talented, no one in the Nation of Lintian or the Jin State can be my master. "
What he said was arrogant. Yet, he gave off an aura that made one have no choice but to believe in him.
Lin Mengya could not help but look at him a few more times. If someone else said this, she would only think that this person was a frog at the bottom of a well.
However, Zhu Yun was an unfathomable person.
She did not have much contact with Zhu Yun, but every time she met him, she would have a feeling of not taking action for fear of breaking the vases. Lin Mengya lowered her head and said softly, "Mr. Zhu, you are so ambitious.
"Sir, you have great ambitions. That's right, the world is not stable. No matter who I work for, it is not a long-term solution. But there is one thing about me that is different from my former master. I don't have such ambition. I don't want to control the world, nor do I want to control others. If I can't even control my own fate, how can I talk about other things? "
These words, however, seemed to have hit Zhu Yun's vitals.
His deep eyes finally rested on Lin Mengya. Looking into her clear eyes, Zhu Yun had thought that he would be able to see through even the slightest emotion in her.
But he did not expect that there was no ripple in that clear pool.
It seemed that he had the upper hand. But his opponent was as still as a mountain, and his moves seemed to be ineffective for a moment.
He sighed softly in his heart. No wonder Qinghu, the freak, always beamed with joy and looked very proud when he mentioned Lin Mengya.
For old guys like them, who had lived for half of their lives, this teenage girl, although immature, had the capital to soar into the sky.
"Princess, you are so smart. You are right. If a person can't even control his own fate, what else can he control? I think you should have guessed that the old master I mentioned is Qinghu, right? "
The stage of testing each other had ended. Since he had cut to the point, Lin Mengya could not continue pretending.
She nodded. Since Qinghu showed up that day, she had guessed that the so-called master of Qinghu was inextricably linked to the power behind the Immortal Powder.
Now, in this house, whether it was Sumei's Bone of Beauty or Zhu Yun's Drink of Enmity, they were both inhumane and insane.
Apart from the master Qinghu had mentioned, she could not think of anyone else who could be so generous.
"Like him, I climbed out of a pile of corpses. I think you should know that Qinghu and I are both monsters. But I was luckier than him. When I was nine years old, I broke my leg. I was not as handsome as Qinghu, so I did not end up like him. "
Zhu Yun subconsciously touched his knees. In his tone, it seemed that this kind of past did not carry much weight.
"Qinghu is indeed different from you. After all, I was a burden to him. If you have any request, I will definitely do it. I only hope that Mr. Zhu can help him at the critical moment, "Lin Mengya said sincerely.
This matter concerned Qinghu's life and death. The more she understood how powerful this power was, the more worried she was for Qinghu.
"Ha, you and him are really strange. He begged me with his life, hoping that I could be of use to you. Now, you are begging me to help him. Does Prince Yu not care about the relationship between you and him? "
