The coldness almost made Lin Mengya's fake expression crumble.
At this critical moment, Wanyan Jing stopped what he was doing.
"It seems like your eye skills are still as effective as before."
Wanyan Jing withdrew his dagger. Lin Mengya then realized that he was testing her.
However, she knew very well that if she had revealed even the slightest flaw, that dagger would have taken her life without hesitation.
She couldn't help but admire her mental fortitude, which had been honed through many years of experience.
"Of course. If I am not useful, Your Highness would not need to spend so much money to recruit me. Alright, you may leave. Once you reach Phoenix Wing Garden, you will not remember what happened here. "
The man with double pupils instructed her again with his charming voice. Lin Mengya was like a real puppet. She stood up and walked out of the yard.
There were people around, but Lin Mengya did not let her guard down.
She had always been cautious, especially after seeing the strange man with double pupils. She had to put on an act till the end.
Soon, the gate of Phoenix Wing Garden appeared in front of her.
Her body shook slightly, as if she had just woken up from a dream.
"This is strange. Why am I here?"
His brows furrowed as he asked in confusion.
From the corner of her eye, she saw a few figures leaving in a hurry.
Fortunately, she put on such a show. Otherwise, she might really be eliminated by others.
She walked back to Phoenix Wing Garden calmly. It was quiet in the yard. It seemed that Madam Jingrou was not back yet.
She straightened her body and walked back to her room. Her face turned pale.
"Bang!" Lin Mengya's waist and legs went limp, and she fell to the ground.
If not for her quick reflexes and the help of the Shen Nung system, she would have been tricked.
"Ma … Miss, are you alright?"
Baisu jumped in through the window with an anxious look on her face.
Following behind her was Xiao Yu, whose face was as cold as ice.
Lin Mengya raised her head with difficulty. She panted heavily and shook her head.
"I … I'm fine. Were you discovered?"
She knew that the First Prince would definitely want to question her, so Xiaoyu and Baisu had been secretly protecting her these days.
But this time, she didn't expect the First Highness to play dirty.
Xiaoyu and Baisu must have seen it, but in order not to alert the enemy, they had a secret signal.
The absence of a secret signal meant that she was safe.
Who knew that the man with double pupils wouldn't play by the rules, and she didn't even have time to send out the secret signal.
This time, she really escaped with her life.
"No, but we looked for you for a long time before we heard that you had returned to Phoenix Plume Garden. Sister, where did you go?"
Xiao Yu frowned. He originally wanted to follow his sister, but who knew that he would be entangled.
When he was done, he realized that his sister was not in the Phoenix Plume Garden, nor was she in the Lin Qiu Tower.
Even Baisu was nowhere to be found. If he had not received the news of his sister's return a moment ago, he would have turned the entire palace upside down.
"You guys don't know where I went?"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and felt that it was ridiculous.
Baisu lowered her head and nodded dejectedly.
"Huh? Oh my god! "
Lin Mengya rolled her eyes and broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.
She thought that at least, Baisu was by her side.
She didn't expect that she would be the lone hero just now.
"What happened? Didn't I tell you not to leave my sister's side? "
Looking at his sister's frightened look, Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel his heart palpitate.
He knew better than anyone else what kind of person Lin Mengya was.
Now that she was showing such a look of relief, one could imagine how dangerous the situation she was facing was.
He and Baisu were so useless.
"I … I saw a suspicious person sneaking around the entrance of Phoenix Plume Garden, and he kept staring at Miss. I thought that he was going to harm Miss, so I followed him. It's my fault, Young Master and Miss, please punish me. "
Baisu immediately knelt on the ground, looking extremely regretful.
Xiaoyu was about to fly into a rage, but was stopped by a look from Lin Mengya.
"Get up, Xiaoyu, don't blame Baisu anymore. I think that the First Highness must have had something to do with this. Today, I've seen how meticulous he is. It's not a shame that we suffered some losses in his hands. "
Lin Mengya, who had regained her composure, had seen through everything.
The First Highness was definitely a difficult opponent. Not to mention that there was a person with double pupils by his side, his methods were airtight, and there was no weakness to be found.
Needless to say, Xiaoyu was also hindered by someone.
How could he be so meticulous just to deal with her, a mere maidservant?
If he really wanted to fight for the throne, he would be even more powerful.
This opponent was interesting!
"Wanyan Jing actually dared to attack you!"
Xiaoyu was furious. He hated his brother who was like an iceberg the most.
Not to mention anything else, his mother was always bullying his own mother.
And today, he actually dared to attack his sister.
Sooner or later, he would personally send Wanyan Jing to hell!
"Don't worry, Wanyan Jing is not easy to deal with. From now on, we can't make any mistakes. "
She narrowed her eyes, and the fear that made her tremble slowly turned into a strong fighting spirit.
She had always been rebellious. Forbearance and tolerance were just an excuse she used to cover up.
At that time, she was just an orphan. How did she get into a medical school with a high elimination rate, and how did she become a student of a leading international expert? Only she knew the hardships she had gone through.
In front of her family, she was willing to be protected. She restrained her claws and teeth, just for them, to show her most gentle side.
Now, she had to show all of her extraordinary qualities, so that she could protect her most important family.
Why not let her see who would be the winner, the First Highness, Wanyan Jing?
The harsh environment made Lin Mengya gradually change. From a smart and naughty kitten, she gradually revealed the domineering aura of a lion.
On the other side, there was a lion. It was in a great mood of ecstasy and sorrow, and it almost collapsed.
In the cave of the Seventh Peak of the Snow Mountain, in the huge snake formation, a man in black was standing at the part of the tongue pool, and his expression kept changing.
She was not here!
Looking at the clear water, Long Tianhao trembled all over.
In the past few days, he had received several important pieces of information about the Candle Dragon Cult.
He was so anxious that he didn't even check the authenticity of the information and wanted to take his men to the root of the problem.
But for some reason, he wanted to take one more look at her before he left.
Unexpectedly, the Snow Mountain was still cold and lonely, but the person whose life was unknown was no longer in the water.
"Have you finished saying goodbye to the lass? Don't dawdle. The sooner you come back, the sooner the lass will wake up … Where is the lass?! "
A fiery red figure walked to the edge of the snake-head pool. But before he finished making fun of Long Tianhao, his pair of thin fox eyes widened.
"How could this be? Didn't you say that the lass could keep her body from rotting as long as she was in the water? "
After more than a month of torture, Qinghu became as thin as Long Tianhao.
His attitude was even colder than before, making him the new God of Slaughter that had recently risen to fame in the martial world.
Long Tianhao wanted to save the lass, so he naturally had to go.
But he didn't expect that when he came to say goodbye to the lass, he only saw the empty water.
"I don't know, maybe …"
Long Tianhao suddenly strode out. He had thought that Lin Mengya had met with an accident.
But a trace of hope, which almost made him ecstatic, supported his remaining reason.
Maybe … maybe Ya 'er was not completely dead, but resurrected!
The two of them were like mad demons, completely disregarding the difficulty of the snowy mountain. It only took them a short day to reach the foot of the mountain.
The town, which had been slaughtered by the Candle Dragon Cult, had now become a military camp.
Long Tianhao broke into it with a cold face. He stopped in front of the largest yard and couldn't wait to kick the door open.
Inside, a luxurious man in a white robe was looking at the Snow Mountain from the window.
"What's wrong?"
Hou Yuetian came to his senses and frowned, looking at the two cold men.
The surrounding guards were nervous, for fear that these two men, who were colder than the Snow Mountain, would harm their master.
"Ask your men to leave, I have something to say to you."
Even now, Long Tianhao still maintained the same mood as before.
Because he figured out one thing on the way.
"Okay, all of you leave, no one is allowed to stay."
Hou Yuetian calmly gave orders. Long Tianhao must be so cautious about something, it must have something to do with her.
As long as it was related to her, he would be duty-bound to do it.
The guards didn't have any objection, quietly and quickly left.
In the blink of an eye, there were only the three of them in the spacious yard.
"Go ahead."
Qinghu automatically left the door with a look.
With his presence, he could cut off the possibility of anyone hearing the content of their conversation.
Long Tianhao's patience was also at its limit.
Almost impatiently, he lowered his voice and asked.
"Ya 'er's body … Did your men move?"
In fact, Hou Yuetian already knew their identity, so he certainly knew what Long Tianhao was asking.
He shook his head seriously. Lin Mengya's deep sleep was the biggest secret of the whole Dongxia Country. Only the elite guards came, and no one dared to move her body up the mountain.
Could it be that there was an accident?
"After that, did anyone come down from the mountain? Did your men see a greyish-white haired young man bring something down from the mountain? "
What happened that day had been deeply engraved in Long Tianhao's mind, and he would never forget any detail.
