The corners of Lin Mengya's mouth curled up into an easy and elegant smile.
She lifted her eyes to the sky dotted with clouds outside the courtyard. If she broke free from the framework of this mansion, she would be able to fly as high as she wanted.
"Indeed, I wish I could leave. This is not my rightful place after all. Instead of being like a bird in a cage, I'd much rather be one that is free in the wild."
There was a look of longing for freedom in Lin Mengya's dark black eyes.
On the other hand, hidden in Qinghu's eyes was a look of regret in spite of the smile at the corner of his mouth.
Even he was unaware that he had been attracted to this lady in a long elegant robe. Though not seductive, he was secretly drawn by her beautiful complexion.
Be it him or Xiaoyu and the man hiding in Qinwu Courtyard, their hearts had been unknowingly drawn to her.
How could such a girl hide herself
"That's because I am going to travel around the country. So I need some time to get used to it." Lin Mengya smiled as she gazed at the mini version of Baiji. Lin Mengya reached out her hand to squeeze her pinchable cheeks. Perhaps it was because Lin Mengya naturally looked gentle and friendly that the children were no longer afraid of her. They even boldly reached out to touch Lin Mengya's face. "You can't be so rude to Miss. Xiaojia!" The parents quickly tried to stop Xiaojia's dirty hands from touching Lin Mengya's face. "Don't worry. Children are naturally innocent and kindhearted. That is why they are so adorable." Lin Mengya did not mind the filth at all. She looked at Xiaojia and smiled. After touching Lin Mengya's cheek, the little girl started to chuckle. "I've touched the Goddess of Mercy. Miss, you're even more beautiful than the Goddess of Mercy in the temple."
"Oh yes, please be the first to inform me when there is any information about any rare and precious herbs." It was necessary to purge the poison in Qinghu's body. Lin Mengya had even spoken to her teacher about it. Even if she was unable to find the antidote for the time being, at least she could find something in place of the antidote that could prolong his life. She tried to look indifferent on her face despite her concern for Qinghu. As she casually browsed through the information written by the gentleman, she realized that although it was brief, it contained all the necessary details. Great, it seemed that these workers were really quite capable. "At the front is Master Sanjue's Sanjue Hall. According to your wishes, there will be a martial arts competition every three months here. We would richly reward the winner of the competition. Right now, the atmosphere of the competition has been stirred up in Sanjue Hall. The three
Lin Mengya straightened her clothes and sat up properly. Even the book couldn't arouse her interest. It was just an unintentional joke, with no intention to look into Qinghu's past. She felt sorry and had to be a listener. Then, she would swallow everything about Qinghu and never let a third person be informed. "I know you've been wondering who the real boss of Peach Blossom Dock is. Little girl, there are some people I want you to avoid. The less you know, the safer you'll be. If Sanjue Hall thrives to be able to compete with Peach Blossom Dock one day, I promise I’d tell you who he is. But I have to say that Peach Blossom Hall is the least important part of his power," Qinghu said seriously and sincerely. Lin Mengya blinked. "The top group of killers is that one's least important power? "How powerful could he be?" When she was about to ask further, Yunzhu was seen through a bamboo curtain.
"It's easy to know why he doesn't believe me. If he found a great doctor, then I could avoid the possible trouble when I entered the palace, right?" Lin Mengya seemed not angry and just smiled as if she didn't care at all. "It's late now. We should go back. Yunzhu, I'll leave all of this to you. Tell that guy in Sanjue Hall in the city to inform me whenever I'm needed. You did well. That guy is very smart." Yunzhu lowered her head and made a bow. Lin Mengya was right. It was she who arranged that guy inside the city. Baiji's father was smart enough but did not know how to deal with those social affairs. He would suffer if meeting those outrageous guys. That guy she arranged out there was a master of kung fu, smart and sophisticated. He would be useful in the future. Out of the back yard, Lin Mengya huddled herself up in the carriage in confusion. "Why does Long Tianyu want other doctors
"Please! Please don't! Please stop!" Noticing both of them being close to fighting with each other, Lin Kui was scared and tried to stop them immediately. Long Tianyu dodged out of the way and struggled to keep a distance from Lu Ning. But Lu Ning was stubborn and would never stop unless he took off Long Tianyu's clothes and checked him out. Instantly, the capacious study became a mess because of their fight. "Shemale! Stop! Qinwu Courtyard is not a place where you can do whatever you want!" Fury could be sensed in Long Tianyu's voice. Obviously it was because Lu Ning had smashed a good inkstand just now. "The doctor is your parents. You disrespect your parents, so you deserve it. If I fail to tear you to pieces, I'll change my name from Lu Ning!" His hairpins and his thin, beautiful hair were in a mess, caused by Long Tianyu. Both of them became more furious
Up to now, Lin Mengya didn't know what was happening yet. Then, the female, machine-like sound returned and Lin Mengya came to her senses. "Password? What password?" She thought about it hard and failed to figure out what the password was. "Ah!" It came to her mind that her teacher had set a protective password on the Radar. But that password was designed to close Radar momentarily when its carrier was in great danger. Besides, her teacher didn't tell her how to close Radar! What if she got the wrong password and Radar was closed permanently? But it was a rare chance. She didn't know what functions Radar had yet. After a moment of thinking, Lin Mengya recalled the password, which she felt a little unfamiliar with. "Wrong password, please try again!" The female sound came again. Then, Lin Mengya tried several times instantly. There were only five chances for h
Lin Mengya still felt unhappy. Although she had said that she would not care, she still wanted to know the truth. She was supposed to know who that woman was, at least. Therefore, after one-night gloom, Lin Mengya, who used to care about important things only, decided to start a gossip for once. The next morning, she dressed up. There were many gorgeous, courtlike peonies on the red brocade. She put a golden ornament with green on her head, incomparably graceful. The four maids were stunned. "It's not a festival or something like that. Master won't enter the Palace. Why would she dress herself with such a thing?" Lin Mengya eventually came to understand why they looked at her like an upstart, in the mirror. Suddenly, she lost her courage and pulled down those hairpins. She often saw how the real wife of a man reacted to her husband's affair. However, when it did happen to her, Lin Mengy
Lin Mengya shook her head in disbelief. Whoever Master Bamboo and Master Plum were, she had been frantically busy with her own businesses that she had no time to be bothered about them. Qiu Yu could not help but laugh when he saw the look in her eyes. He thought Princess Yu would have heard about them. What a surprise! "Master Bamboo is the owner of this North Tower. This painting of yours would definitely catch his eye." Lin Mengya had a feeling that there was a hidden meaning in Qiu Yu's words. When she was about to probe further, someone approached from behind the screen. "I heard that a lady with exceptional talent had just arrived. I'm curious to find out which family this lady is from." Lin Mengya raised one of her eyebrows at the mention of Master Bamboo. Should he not be a man given his title as a master? However, the person who appeared before Lin Mengya's eyes wa
The wolves didn't come forward, but she heard the sound of leaves rubbing together.Looks like it was the head wolf.Lin Menya wasn't the least bit intimidated, but the head wolf's behavior was strange, it didn't make an attacking gesture.Instead"White!"The first rays of morning light blossomed and she saw the white pelt, hidden in the shadows.Heart racing, she embraced the huge figure that came hurtling at her.Unexpectedly, her little white, won!"You're really good, you came and singled out someone's boss, okay, a bit of my style!"The surprise made Lin Menya relax her entire body, but something wasn't quite right with Xiao Bai.After it plopped down on Lin Menya's body, it actually didn't move.Scared, she thought what was wrong and cleanly checked the wound for White.But what I didn't expect to hear first, was the little one's hoots and hollers.After half a day's messing around, Kohaku was exhau
"But, but we don't have silver, food and weapons, and how can we fight against those people with these 2,000 people and more?"Nie Qing stuttered a bit, he had been to the battlefield, naturally he knew that these things were not a matter of having many people."These, I have my own ways. But right now, it's a perfect time to sharpen. After dawn, the guards stationed inside and outside of Kanakura City will definitely search the mountain. If utilized properly, these two thousand or so people will become the heart of Jin Cang City. At that time, we'll eat away at these people's power little by little."An extremely large plan formed in her mind.Though she knew that there was no rush, right now, it was sort of the only way to house the two thousand or so people."You mean, let us occupy the mountain as king? That won't work, in case if the Wei people slow down and concentrate their forces on attacking us, how can we defend ourselves with just these two t
The one who spoke, was not very tall, and had only suffered a little because he was a prisoner of war.But in the end, after the army, baptized by war, the essence is still good.And, he's probably the superior of those five.The five men stood behind him out of habit, not saying a word.Lin Menya glanced at the man and couldn't help but light up.His eyes were clear and godly, with only the undaunted defiance of a soldier, without half the slipperiness and accidents of a soldier's oil, only a good soldier.The heart, too, is in the right place."In a while, let's go into the mountains and hide for a while first, with so many people, there's always a need for laws and rules. Since you've been in the army, I'd like to ask you to do these things, is that okay?"The man didn't realize that the GodEmperor was actually going to entrust him with such a thing.At once, the flame of grandeur in the man's heart was ignited.He looke
She quietly picked up the raw meat and practically crawled her way to the man's back, getting closer and closer to the man as she practically held her breath.Suddenly, the man turned his head around in a flash as if he had sensed something.Lin Mengya didn't care about anything else, the raw meat in her hand that was dipped in anesthetic, gagged the man's mouth at once.The man, shocked and angry, tries to escape.But she didn't know where the strength came from, both hands wrapped around the man's neck and tightly stuffed the large chunk of raw meat in the head of the man's mouth, refusing to part.The man, of course, was much stronger than she was, and only panicked for a moment before using his hand to tug at the flesh around his mouth.Lin Mengya was in a hurry and kneed the man in one of the acupoints on his waist.The blow was so steady and hard that the man lost a lot of strength at once, and her hand, never left the raw flesh.
Looking at the lock that was half a pound heavy, Gong Ping sighed.In fact, to this day, he didn't know who this fuss was really about.But looking at Missy's distraught look, he didn't dare to ask more.All I know is that what the lady is looking for is a large metal cage."Let's find it first, and be careful this time before someone sees us."Locked warehouses are usually guarded.This is the boundary of Kanakura Harbor, and those who are in charge of the patrol are also from Kanakura Harbor.These are the crew members who work on the ship and make their rounds on weekdays when they have nothing else to do.Lin Menya and Gong Ping dodged a group of people by virtue of their skinny bodies.But soon they were lost in the midst of dodging."How much longer do we have to look, miss?"The two crouched in the corner, Lin Moya's eyes, tightly focused on a crew that had just disappeared.Just now, they were so close t
If the nominal Gong Ya was still here, then she could have arrogantly and incomparably fought the auction with the intention of competing with the other party.But on the contrary, she couldn't easily reveal her identity.If one Lin Mengmai wasn't enough of a warning, then adding another Zhu Yan made the problem much more obvious.Lin Mengya was also thinking of a countermeasure, if it really didn't work, she would repeat her trick and use the same trick that Bai Su had used earlier to muddle through.But now that she was unprepared, it would be bad to reveal anything instead.However, the bidding didn't quite end there.Once they heard the Mu family bidding, the general public wouldn't dare to follow them.But there were still one or two, who felt that the teenager and the beast were strange, and had the guts to call for a price.Soon, the price climbed to six thousand taels.Those few families had subsided, the expensive price
But the third auction, however, made every Gong family member's heart feel a bit clogged.Because on the list, there were three dozen people from the Gong family that were being auctioned off as house slaves.Those people are the deepest hidden scars of the Gong family.From the moment the five sons of the Gong family entered, the atmosphere was, well, somewhat oppressive."My lord, the people sent by the lady have arrived."Gong Yang was still guarding the outside, but he led in a boy who was dressed, all ordinary."You go down."Gong Si waved his hand, allowing Gong Yang to leave.Turning, he asked in a low voice."What did Missy tell you to pass on?"The boy hung his head low, but pursed his lips and smiled."Missy said to spend the silver as she pleases and smash whoever she sees as disagreeable."Gong Si smiled along with him, but reached out and pulled the boy in front of a few other brothers."See,
"Hiss, why are you guys so heavy handed, trying to strangle me? Get out!"Lin Mengya yelled at the two female slaves in disgust, and the two immediately fell to their knees, trembling."Who are you playing pathetic and condescending like that for? If it weren't for me, you'd probably be dead!"She continued to curse, and Gong Si just couldn't stand it and ordered them to be taken out."Miyaya, how could you?""Why can't I be like this? Don't forget who's the head of the family!"Before the two slave girls went out, they heard an argument coming from inside.As slaves, they had to hang their heads lower to save themselves from the waves.How could the two of them know that since they went out, the atmosphere in the box had changed all of a sudden."Go on, keep an eye on them."Gong Si casually beckoned an attendant and softly commanded, the place where his line of sight fell, right where it should be, was the direction where
"I'm used to being at home. I went out in a hurry this time and didn't bring a few satisfactory maids with me. I see that on the list for today's auction, there are female slaves trained by the Rong family. I would like to ask Mr. Lu to ask for a few in advance, do you think it's okay?"Though she played it in the name of consultation, her tone was unquestionable.Lu Feng hesitated slightly, and she immediately pulled a face."I have let you earn a lot of silver, right, so a little request can not be done, you this business ah, do not often."She was not polite in the slightest, and her voice was not small enough to be heard by anyone around her.Gongbin frowned, not the least bit displeased that she was being so capricious.He was just about to open his mouth, but he was pulled back by Gong San."Big brother, little sister is a girl after all, delicate and weak, she should also find someone to serve her. How about this, Mr. Lu, these female
