Chapter 743 The Relic of the Guwei State

The two of them walked around the street. As Lin Mengya did not like lively places, they accidentally stepped into a relatively quiet alley.

At this moment, Lin Mengya felt rather sleepy. Unwilling to disturb her, Long Tianyu just took off his outer garment and covered her with it.

Unexpectedly, when they were about to get out of the alley, he suddenly heard an unusual sound.

Long Tianyu subconsciously covered Lin Mengya with his body to protect her, but did not expect that someone made the sound on purpose to trap him.

Just when he realized it, the white powder scattered in the air in a split second.

Long Tianyu quickly drove the powder away with his inner strength, but there was still a little powder he failed to drive away falling on Lin Mengya’s face.

She, who was half-asleep just now, immediately fell asleep.

Knitting his straight eyebrows, he pulled her into his embrace.

After making sure that her pulse was steady, he lifted his eyes to look coldly at the man who strode in from outside the alley.

“Rest assured. It’s not a poison, but something capable of making her sleep better. Besides, I don’t think you want her to hear our conversation today,” at the entrance of the alley, the man, who was dressed in white and waving a folding fan, said with a composed look.

He showed an amicable smile on his handsome and calm face and talked lightly, which made him quite convincing.

Except for people as determined as Long Tianyu, others would immediately treat him as a nice person.

But nice people were not supposed to launch such a surprise attack.

“Prince Yu, you seem to have misunderstood me. In fact, I’m not a villain, but just an old friend of the lady’s teacher. Before she came here, her master sent someone to me. I’m at leisure, so I followed her here to help her.” The man pointed out Long Tianyu’s identity directly.

Meanwhile, he put on an extremely sincere look and spread out his hands.

However, Long Tianyu had always been suspicious, especially when facing this kind of person who tried to impress him.

“I know you won’t believe me. This is a handwritten letter her muddle-headed teacher wrote to me. He said you would find out who I am after reading it. Don’t worry, her teacher has trained her into a person immune to various poisons. No knockout drugs other than my Green Jade Powder can work on her.” As the man spoke, he drew an envelope from his bosom and reached out to throw it to Long Tianyu without looking at it.

After looking around cautiously and putting the woman, who was sleeping in his arms, in the wheelchair, Long Tianyu picked up the envelope on the ground, opened it and read the letter after making sure that it contained no trick.

It was a long letter, but the words were incoherent.

But he was not anxious, because it was a trick used by Lin Mengya, Baili Rui and him.

Back then, the Crown Prince and other forces kept an eye on Prince Yu’s Mansion all the time.

In order to exchange messages with Baili Rui without being discovered, they selected a few poems and arranged them in a certain order.

In this way, many commonly used words could be found in the poems.

After exchanging messages in this way repeatedly, Lin Mengya, Baili Rui and he got used to it.

Moreover, no one other than the three of them knew it.

Long Tianyu read the letter carefully and recognized that it was Baili Rui’s handwriting and the content was exactly the same as his speculation.

It seemed that this man was really Baili Rui’s friend.

Baili Rui wrote in the letter that Qian Hua was one of his best friends, proficient in medical skill, and came here to help them remove the remaining poison in Lin Mengya’s body.

However, the letter said he was supposed to catch up with them a few days ago.

Why did he come so many days later than expected? Was he a fake?

Noticing the confused look in Long Tianyu’s eyes, Qian Hua knew that he had to explain it.

He coughed twice, followed by a series of rustling sounds around. It seemed that some people had left.

“If you have any questions now, feel free to ask me,” Qian Hua said naturally, showing no flaw.

With the letter in his hand, Long Tianyu sized Qian Hua up without being be noticed and said, “Since you are a capable man sent by Mr. Baili, why do you come so many days later than expected? I’m afraid this letter is not enough to convince me.”

Qian Hua seemed to feel helpless. He shrugged his shoulders, folded the paper fan in his hand and said, “Alas, actually I’m late because of you. Since you are from the royal family of the Jin State, I believe that you know the Candle Dragon Cult, don’t you?”

Another thing related to the Candle Dragon Cult! Long Tianyu narrowed his eyes in an instant.

Then he returned to normal and glanced at Qian Hua with vigilance.

“When Baili Rui and I were young, we were recruited by the Candle Dragon Cult, but were not taken seriously. It was not until we got old that we realized that we were so close to death back then. I’m different from Baili Rui who has no family members other than a nephew, so I had to deal with them courteously but without sincerity and pay special attention to their movements over the years. Unexpectedly I discovered they have been tracking you,” Qian Hua said.

Hearing his words, Long Tianyu felt a chill run through him in an instant.

The abominable Candle Dragon Cult had almost ruined his life back then.

Moreover, considering the Candle Dragon Cult’s several attempts to hurt Lin Mengya, he hated it to the core.

“Sir, do you know what they are up to?” He asked.

However, after Qian Hua heard Long Tianyu’s question, there was a hesitant look in his eyes.

After thinking for a while, he looked into Long Tianyu’s eyes with a serious look and said, “Before answering this question, I’d like to ask you, do you want the relic of the Guwei State?”

The relic of the Guwei State!

Hearing this, Long Tianyu pursed his thin lips with his pupils contracting for a moment, as this was the best-kept secret only known to generations of monarchs of the Jin State, who inherited the throne legitimately!

Even he just heard this from his father, the Emperor, before he left the Capital City.

Nevertheless, his father told him that even some of the other countries might be unaware of this.

In this case, where did Qian Hua learn this?

“Perhaps I should ask you in another way. If you were to make a choice between the relic of the Guwei State and the woman behind you, which one do you think you will choose?” Qian Hua asked.

The relic of the Guwei State was a secret that could help a monarch dominate the world.

Among generations of monarchs of the Jin State, many of them had exerted all their strength and wisdom for this secret.

It was an unattainable dream to common people, but monarchs kept pursuing it in the way that Kua Fu chased the sun.

It was tremendously tempting with great hidden danger.

However, Long Tianyu considered it could never compare with Lin Mengya.

“She’s all I want,” Long Tianyu answered decisively without hesitation, which stunned Qian Hua.

Standing there, he even wondered if he and Prince Yu were talking about the same thing.

However, when he saw that Long Tianyu occasionally glanced at Lin Mengya, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Unexpectedly, he saw another devoted man from the Long Family after these twists and turns.

“Since you choose her, I might as well tell you the woman behind you is the key to solving the puzzle of the relic of the Guwei State. Do you know why both the Candle Dragon Cult and your father have paid special attention to her? That’s because she is the key to solving the puzzle of the relic of the Guwei State,” Qian Hua said.

Lin Mengya had something to do with the relic of the Guwei State?

Long Tianyu opened his eyes wide without the slightest joy.

He was stunned for a moment, but held her tightly in his arms again.

It explained why Madam Lin refused to reveal her real identity to her children although she suffered from great injustices and even had to die.

It turned out that she did that because Lin Mengya bore the clue to the relic of the Guwei State.

If Lin Mengya didn’t marry him, he would not discover the secret she bore.

In that instant, Long Tianyu felt as if a knife were being twisted in his heart, because he was keenly aware of what the relic of the Guwei State would bring.

If the news went out, Lin Mengya could never be joyful for the rest of her life.

“Nevertheless, don’t be so upset. All of them are suspicious of it. No one in this world other than you and me know it. Rest assured, I will keep it secret. My family was almost ruined because of the relic of the Guwei State. I will be the last person passing on the secret. You don’t have to know my real identity. Just remember that I will never reveal the secret,” although Qian Hua did not behave in a refined manner as before, he said word by word as if his heart were shedding blood.

Long Tianyu held Lin Mengya in his arms and nodded at him.

The relic of the Guwei State was an obsession deeply rooted in their hearts. Knowing that it was an unattainable dream, their Long Family still treated it as the biggest secret and passed it down from generation to generation.

Qian Hua also nodded at him and turned to leave.

“Oh, there is indeed Seven Poisons Sacred Grass on the island in the middle of the lake outside Jiang City, but it’s a fake. Only the one on the snowy mountain is real. Tell her, and she will know what to do.” Qian Hua’s voice gradually vanished in the air.

Long Tianyu just quietly stared at the woman sleeping soundly in his arms with his head down, thinking he must protect her from any danger.
