Chapter 753 Plan to Escape

Lin Zhongyu was stunned for a moment. He had thought it would take at least some effort to persuade her to go with him. Unexpectedly, she agreed easily.

“Sis… sister, are you really willing to go back with me?” He asked with disbelief in his sparkling eyes, while staring blankly at her, as if he had just met her.

With a “bang”, Lin Mengya knocked lightly on Xiaoyu’s head with something.

All of a sudden, Xiaoyu returned to himself and rubbed his head as he looked at Lin Mengya with an aggrieved look.

“Of course I know my leaving will probably cause a mighty uproar. Nevertheless, my staying will really cause them trouble,” Lin Mengya said seriously, holding a crystal clear jade ruler when Xiaoyu did not notice it.

The ruler was one arm long, but only two fingers wide. At first glance, it seemed to be a naturally formed jade ruler. Only Lin Mengya knew the secret behind this ruler.

She touched the jade ruler with complicated feelings, thinking if she hadn’t accidentally stepped on the jade ruler and fallen into the pool, she wouldn’t have had the luck to neutralize the poison in her body by accident and gain a lot of benefits.

“That’s great. Sister, if you go with me, I will definitely protect you. But… but should I tell Long Tianyu and Qinghu…” Lin Zhongyu said, and the ecstasy in his eyes was gone in an instant.

He suddenly thought of those two people equally important to his sister, especially Long Tianyu.

Although he had left long before, he kept up a regular correspondence with his sister.

As he expected, when Lin Mengya heard him mention Long Tianyu, her face suddenly changed.

She, who seemed to be reluctant to leave them but have made up her mind to do so, stroked the jade ruler with her jade-like hand, let out a deep sigh and said, “We can’t tell them. Since I want to disappear as Lin Mengya, I have to keep my leaving from them first.”

She had her unperformed duty.

Although it was a burden left by her mother, it was significant. Even if she managed to delay settling it, it would bring disaster to her children.

In order to cover it up, her mother had sacrificed her life, but still failed to protect her and her brother. In this case, she decided to end it personally!

“What do you mean?” Xiaoyu asked.

Lin Mengya looked into Xiaoyu’s eyes and said with a solemn look, “I’m going to die thoroughly in front of them.”

Her answer was expected. Lin Zhongyu’s heart still skipped a beat.

Although he was aware that it was difficult to hide this from Long Tianyu and Qinghu, he was very clear about Lin Mengya’s character.

Once she made a decision, no one could change her mind.

After a moment of hesitation, for a selfish reason, Lin Zhongyu eventually gave up persuading her to drop the idea.

Nevertheless, he felt heavy at heart and a little depressed. In fact, he was looking forward to living with her, but not in this way.

“What’s wrong? Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt myself,” Lin Mengya said and touched his head as before.

But at the thought of his long greyish white hair, she felt miserable as if her heart were pricked by a needle.

Although she saved Xiaoyu on the street, she really regarded him as her younger brother.

Now he had become like this. She did not know how many hardships he had suffered.

“Okay. Sister, just give me instructions. I’ll do as you say,” Xiaoyu said.

She did not know since when her stubborn and lovely brother had learned to hide his thoughts.

Lin Mengya felt sorrier for Xiaoyu. This time, she had to go to the Lieyun Empire in any case.

Since he came here for her, she certainly would not let him suffer any more hardship.

She was capable of doing so now!

“Don’t expose your identity for now. After you get out of here, just tell them that I’m dead and find a way to drop this into the fire,” Lin Mengya said.

Then she turned around, took a leaf from the white grass and cut her finger lightly with the sharp edge of the leaf.

Instantly, the dark red blood with a hint of purple sparkle disappeared into the leaf.

Xiaoyu immediately held her finger and wanted to dress her wound. However, she dodged him gently, and then grabbed his chin, put her finger into his mouth, and fed him some of her blood.

She said, “Don’t worry. In order to deceive all of them, you need my blood. Be careful and don’t let them discover it.”

Lin Mengya gently tore off a piece of cloth from her clothes to wrap the leaf properly and gave it to Xiaoyu.

After patiently giving him a few more instructions, she urged him, who was reluctant to part with her, to leave.

Knowing that his sister was going to do something big, Xiaoyu stopped acting like a child.

After putting away the thing given by his sister and putting on his copper mask, he turned back into the mysterious envoy.

“I’ll be back soon. Be careful,” Xiaoyu said.

Lin Mengya nodded and watched him leave the hillside.

In the quiet open space on the hillside, Lin Mengya sat by the pool, staring at the jade ruler, lost in thought.

Was all this an accident or her fate?

Unexpectedly, the thing her mother failed to find even at the cost of running away from home and giving up her noble identity and comfortable life was now in her hands.

She had to say the god of destiny made fools of the people.

With a “click”, Lin Mengya pressed the button on one side of the jade ruler.

The snow-white jade ruler opened immediately, revealing a piece of long and thin rolled silk cloth in it.

After glancing at the silk cloth, Lin Mengya closed the jade ruler, walked up to the pool that had become an ordinary hot spring, and carefully placed it in a small hollow in the center of the pool.

The jade ruler and the bottom of the pool were an integral whole. If people didn’t take a closer look, they definitely would not be able to see that there was a jade ruler in the pool.

If people outside learned the thing hidden in the ruler turned out to be the map of the relics of the Guwei State, the whole world would probably go wild.

Moreover, there were some secrets recorded on the map, which was why she had to go to the Lieyun Empire.

But she had to keep these things to herself.

She couldn’t even tell Long Tianyu, as she would rather watch him mourn over her death than drag him into an eternal hell.

She decided to endure the pain in the eternal hell by herself.

As she squeezed the wound on her fingertip, her blood dripped into the pool.

In an instant, the liquid in the pool boiled again and returned to enchanting light purple.

Lin Mengya stared at the pool of liquid with mixed feelings. It was the best way to deceive Long Tianyu. Fortunately, with Xiaoyu around, she didn’t have to worry that Long Tianyu would really burn her body.

Estimating that the liquid in the pool had been exposed in the air for long enough to produce strong toxic gas capable of making her enter a state of suspended animation again, Lin Mengya opened her mouth wide in resignation and threw herself into the pool.

With a “plop”, before she could struggle, she fell into a coma again in the pool.

A moment later, the light purple sparkle completely disappeared.

In the transparent and clear liquid, Lin Mengya dressed in a white undershirt was sunk in sleep quietly like a jade carved beauty that was delicate but lifeless.

As soon as Lin Zhongyu disguised as the envoy got out of the tunnel, Canying rushed at him and said with anxiety and expectation in his eyes, “Sir! Sir, is the woman alive?”

Canying noticed the envoy’s black eyes behind the mask somehow turned greyish white.

Now being watched by the envoy’s grayish white eyes, even Canying couldn’t help but shudder.

Despite Canying’s cruel heart and malicious means, he only changed those copper slaves’ appearances with drugs.

However, the envoy’s grayish white eyes were as dull and lifeless as those of a dead person.

Watched by such a pair of eyes, Canying felt like he was targeted by a jackdaw from hell that would kill him in an instant.

As such, even someone as overbearing as Canying could only be so polite to him.

“She’s dead. Mission failed,” the envoy said indifferently in a hoarse voice as if talking about an extremely common thing.

However, Canying was shocked and opened his mouth wide speechlessly, as if he had eaten a fly.

Then he said, “Dead… dead? How is that possible? If that’s the case, why did you stay there for so long?”

Canying was no fool. It was unnecessary for the envoy to stay there for so long just to find out if she was alive.

Unless…

Rolling his eyes, Canying put away his astonished look and said with regret, “In this case, I’ll collect her body. The Hall Master said that we must take her back no matter she is alive or dead. Sir, I won’t trouble you with such a menial job. Copper Slaves, come with me.”

What a cunning plan. Canying thought that if the envoy meant to claim all the credit, he would definitely lie to them.

Therefore, as long as he proposed to go inside to collect the body, the envoy would feel guilty and stop him. In that case, the envoy couldn’t blame him for being cruel.

However, the envoy did not do so. Instead, he casually sat down beside the bonfire, extended his hands and began to warm himself.

At the moment, Canying, who was quite intelligent, was confused.

Was Lin Mengya really dead?

“Why don’t you go? If you want to court death, just go ahead,” the envoy said.

Sitting by the fire, Lin Zhongyu pretended to be warming himself, while throwing out the leaf hidden in his sleeve by his sister.

The small cloth package disappeared in the fire in an instant, leaving no trace.

An imperceptible cold fragrance was emitted from the fire, but he didn’t feel any discomfort. As for the others…

He showed a sneer. Since the day he knew his sister, she had been merciless in entrapping people.
