Chapter 748 Leave After Succeeding in Playing the Trick

After watching them leave, Hou Yuetian returned to the manor.

At this moment, Lin Mengya, who was supposed to be sleeping soundly, had changed into clean and neat light purple men’s clothing and was spirited with nimble arms and legs.

If it were not for her haggard face, no one would have been able to tell that she could not walk without help.

“Thank you,” Lin Mengya said and saluted with hands folded and raised in front of her face.

Qian Hua, who was supposed to be hiding in the dark, lowered his head and stood behind her respectfully.

“Alas, I’ll have to trouble you with this,” Hou Yuetian said with a helpless and bitter smile.

In fact, all they had done since the night Lin Mengya helped the daughter-in-law of the Tian Family deliver babies, including the secret conversation between Qian Hua and Long Tianyu and gathering many masters in martial arts and sending them to assist Long Tianyu and Qinghu to get rid of the lackeys of the Candle Dragon Cult, was part of Lin Mengya’s plan.

All of this was part of Lin Mengya’s plan.

“Mr. Qian, please give that medicinal material to Mr. Hou. After that, let’s part ways here. Mr. Hou, thank you for helping me time and again,” Lin Mengya said with a smile.

Despite her slightly pale face, she looked much better than before.

However, she was well aware that she was just using a method to overdraw on her vitality left at present, as she had something more important to do.

“Okay,” Qian Hua said.

He, who seemed to be particularly respectful to Lin Mengya, did not dare to neglect her request and immediately handed the medicine box in his arms to Hou Yuetian.

However, looking at the medicine box in his hand, Hou Yuetian seemed to have made a big decision.

After summoning his subordinate and giving instructions in a low voice, he asked his subordinate to leave with the medicine.

Lin Mengya glanced at him with a doubtful look in her eyes.

Hou Yuetian had helped her a lot. However, even she was not completely sure of what would happen next.

Apart from the necessary company, she did not want to get others involved in this matter that could be her doom.

“Mr. Hou, what do you mean…” She asked.

Hou Yuetian, however, suddenly spoke with a serious look, “Do you think I’m a coward, Miss Qingge? I’ll never forget you saved my life in the Jin State. Since I’ve gotten the medicinal material, I don’t have to worry about my mother’s condition. Please let me follow you and repay your kindness.”

Lin Mengya was taken aback. She did not expect Hou Yuetian to be so stubborn.

However, she obviously should not waste time now.

Once Long Tianyu and Qinghu began to fight with those people, they would see through her trick sooner or later.

After thinking for a while, she nodded slightly.

It was not difficult to persuade Hou Yuetian to stay, but the priority was to get to the Qijue Peak as soon as possible.

Lin Mengya felt a sharp pain in her arms and legs, as the horse she was riding was running at a high speed.

But she still tried hard to continue on her way. Long Tianyu and Qinghu would be delayed by other businesses.

She just needed to get the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass before they caught up with her.

She had to take risks personally this time.

“Young master, are you okay?” Qian Hua asked.

He, who had followed Lin Mengya all the way, showed a concerned look in his eyes every time he looked at her.

Swallowing the blood in her mouth, Lin Mengya nodded. Even she did not expect that the token her teacher gave her was a symbol of the head of the Poison Sect.

Besides, she learned another thing from Qian Hua.

It was about the real function of the music score for the green stringed instrument.

As she expected, it was more than a medical book.

Although the information she learned from Qian Hua was shocking, it was extremely limited.

Until now, she only knew that the music score for green stringed instrument was not only a medical book but also a map.

However, the music score for the green stringed instrument somehow had been destroyed.

Therefore, the only map of the relics of the Guwei State was in her mind.

According to legend, the Guwei State had been extremely prosperous and almost brought the whole world under its domination.

However, the main city somehow disappeared overnight. Later on, the other areas gradually fell apart and ultimately split into various countries.

Although the Guwei State had disappeared in history, it, which had solid national strength, had left plenty of relics.

The person who obtained the treasure left by the Guwei State would be able to rule all the land.

As a result, there were people after the relics of the Guwei State all the time.

Nevertheless, there were just a few people who could remember the relics of the Guwei State, the legend passed down to this day.

Qian Hua had explicitly warned Lin Mengya that the relics of the Guwei State were of great importance, but she had the only map.

Once people with evil intentions found out about this, she would be a target for all and could not imagine what terrible situation she would fall into.

However, Qian Hua should be an exception.

As he said, he should be from a family in charge of guarding the map for generations.

However, the map could be considered lost by her. Qian Hua could only protect her in secret, lest the map fall into someone else’s hands.

What was more coincidental was that Qian Hua’s family members were all rare core members of the Poison Sect.

After weighing the pros and cons, he believed he must guard Lin Mengya in any case.

If it were not for Baili Rui’s handwritten letter, her mother’s relic he presented, coupled with the fact that he pointed out the plum blossom mark on her waist was actually left by her mother, he would not have convinced her so easily.

With Qian Hua around, many things became much easier for her.

Apart from other things, she finally found a suitable person to use the method she learned from her teacher by beating around the bush.

Covering her chest with her hands, Lin Mengya gradually managed to regulate her disordered breathing.

Lin Mengya suffered a lot from the method that enabled her to overdraw on her physical strength.

If she had not been so weak that she had become a heavy burden to her companions, she would not have used this torturing method.

“I’m okay. How long will it take to get to the next temporary lodging?” She asked.

Qian Hua stopped looking at her worriedly.

After looking around, he answered, “We will arrive before dark. Nevertheless, young master, it has been three days, you have to suffer the unbearable pain again to maintain the current state.”

Since her arms and legs were too numb to feel ordinary pain, stimulating them with greater pain could enable her to regain her feeling temporarily.

The method Baili Rui came up with was simple and direct, but it worked well.

Nevertheless, she had to suffer pain when the method was used on her.

Despite her exceptional tolerance to pain, Lin Mengya couldn’t help trembling on hearing Qian Hua’s words.

“Okay, I see. Thank you, sir,” she said.

Although Qian Hua was only a few years older than her father, he was superior to her teacher.

Lin Mengya possessed the token of the head of the Poison Sect, so Qian Hua, who stuck to the accustomed rules, considered her much superior to him.

She had no choice but to address Qian Hua as sir to show her respect.

Qian Hua was not as proficient as her teacher in the art of controlling needles.

But at least, he could do a much better job than her who was so weak at the moment.

As such, she could only ask Qian Hua to use this torturing method on her.

She clenched her fists. In the beginning, the effect of the method could last for half a month, and then the period shortened to five days. Now, the effect could only last for three days.

Fortunately, they were arriving at the Qijue Peak soon. Otherwise, she was not sure if she could endure this cruel torture if the period shortened to one day at the end.

“We will reach the foot of the Qijue Peak tomorrow. Young master, it will be difficult to go through this,” Qian Hua said.

Lin Mengya smiled. Of course, she knew it would be difficult to go through this.

Despite Long Tianyu and Qinghu’s efforts to attract most of the attention, Qian Hua got the news that those people sent by the Candle Dragon Cult had found out about the real location of the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass in advance.

The strange thing was that Qian Hua also learned that those people sent by the Candle Dragon Cult not only would not stop her from going up the mountain, but would also help her.

It probably would be difficult for someone, who asked a tiger for its skin, to survive unscathed.

“When the time comes, you just need to take care of yourselves. I will handle the rest,” Lin Mengya said with a serious look.

It was true that the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass could neutralize the poison in her body, but she had to use a bizarre method.

The best way was to change her blood, which could enable the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass to work effectively on her and give her a greater chance of recovering.

Although she was not an over compassionate person, she could not bear to do this.

The other methods were not quite effective and might not be able to cure her.

In fact, Baili Rui had a better method, but it was as weird as changing her blood. More importantly, it worked on very few people.

The Seven Poisons Sacred Grass could only be found in places, where a lot of poisonous plants were around.

It could be said that the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass could only grow with the nutrients of other poisonous plants.

As such, if she wanted to use the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass to completely neutralize the poison in her body, the best way was to become as poisonous as it.

In other words, if she collected all the poisonous plants around the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass, bathed in the water soaked with them and took the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass, she could get a 70% chance to neutralize the poison in her body, assuming that her body was highly resistant to poison.

Otherwise, she would be poisoned to death before she took the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass.

Perhaps she was lucky. Over the past year, apart from the poison that had been influencing her body, she had taken a lot of medicine in order to neutralize the poison in her body and cure her illness.

It was said that every medicine had its side effect, but her body now could be considered immune to all kinds of poisons.

This was the reason why she was able to withstand the influence of the poisonous plants around the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass.

Baili Rui had told her that if this method worked, she would recover and live a long life.

If it did not work, death was not necessarily the worst result. If she became a poisonous person that had to keep her distance from everyone and live alone for the rest of her life, she would rather die.

This thought always reminded Lin Mengya of those poor drug testers in the TV series she had watched when she was a child.

She prayed that she would not become a poisonous person.
