Chapter 989 Return to Lieyun Again
“Well… What should we do? Third brother, it’s not only about Pan’er but also about your wife. I can’t rest assured if I don’t keep an eye on this matter in person!”
Long Qinghan was in a panic because it was related to his family.
Pan’er looked smart and powerful, but in fact, she was simple and kind-hearted. She was okay under his protection. But, what kind of people Lin Mengya was facing? Even Long Qinghan couldn’t imagine.
If something happened to Pan’er…
Just thinking about it, Long Qinghan shivered. He felt a piercing pain in his heart.
“Qinghan, leave this matter to me. Go back quickly and settle down everything in your mansion. Remember not to let anyone know that your wife is not in the Capital City.”
The situation had just stabilized. Once something went wrong, it could probably cause more trouble.
Moyan had been abducted. The former emperor disappeared mysteriously. And now, Gu Pan left a letter and ran away.
In the following days, even Long Tianyu felt that things became a little tricky.
Lin Mengya, who knew nothing about what had happened in the Capital City, was finally on her way to Lieyun again.
After saying goodbye to his men who decided to stay, Chang Hu took his three buddies and over 1,000 of his men, who wanted to go out to explore the world with him, following Lin Mengya to Lieyun.
There was no longer anyone in the way in the mountains, but the danger remained.
Lin Mengya sat upright in the carriage, closely protected by Baisu and Qinghu by her side.
“The dozens of archers are scattered in the mountains. Shall we get rid of them?”
Those archers were all hidden experts. However, Qinghu was excellent at martial arts, so it was no different from children’s playing house for him to deal with them.
However, it would not be easy to fully snipe them.
“Find a suitable place and get rid of them. We should leave the mountain in a few days, lest any accident happens.”
Lin Mengya closed her eyes slightly and looked a little tired.
Ever since she was pregnant, she got tired very easily. She didn’t like killing. However, those guys were like hungry wolves, and they wanted to kill her and her baby anywhere at any time. It was not her fault to be ruthless.
“Okay.”
Qinghu responded simply and then jumped out of the carriage with a sneer.
The killing and fighting started again in the forest, but Lin Mengya did not take a look back.

Those people had only their bad luck to blame.
With Qinghu and Shi Bupo there, it would not take much time to trap and kill those people.
After the last incident, the 500 people they brought out finally knew what they were going to face.
Fortunately, they had already realized that, so there was not a single deserter.
Under the tempering of life and death, the one who could survive in the end would be the final winner.
They gradually understood what Lin Mengya meant, and they became more stable and calm.
They knew that they were here to fight against their enemies this time.
For the next few days, Lin Mengya did not see Qinghu and Shi Bupo around.
Finally, she saw the end of the mountain road. With the help of someone, Lin Mengya got out of the carriage, with a spinning head. She finally felt a little relieved.
“All is done. You can rest easy.”
Qinghu and Shi Bupo suddenly showed up beside Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya could smell the bloody smell on Qinghu, although it was very light.
Lin Mengya nodded and looked into the distance.
“Let’s go. Meet up with those people.”
The team quietly left Mount Five Heroes. Fort Naratha had been razed to the ground, and the other four mountain forts existed in name only. However, with the obstruction of Mount Five Heroes, the news did not spread widely.
However, even if everybody knew, it would not be a big deal. Thanks to Xia Bin’s explosives, even if someone noticed something unusual, they would think that it was only an internal conflict among the mountain bandits.
After crossing Mount Five Heroes, they entered the border of the Lieyun Empire.
There was only a mountain between the two countries, but on the side of Lieyun, it was already full of green grass, looking like it was in spring.
“How far is it from the appointed place?”
Qinghu had been in charge of contacting the Lieyun Empire.
Qinghu took out a map and studied it carefully before looking up to answer.
“We can arrive around noon tomorrow, three days later than the appointed date. They should still be waiting for us, and nothing unexpected has happened. But… Xiaoyu hasn’t responded for a long time. I am afraid that something has happened to him.”
This was also what Lin Mengya was most worried about. According to their plan, when Xiaoyu could completely control the royal venomous insect, even the Xin Family could not do anything to him.
By then, Xiaoyu would have the ability to protect himself whether he inherited the throne of the Lieyun Empire or not.
However, the Xin Family and other forces would never let Xiaoyu leave.
However, it was strange that the spies they planted in Lieyun reported that Xiaoyu had returned to the Royal City safely and that all the forces in Lieyun Empire were in harmony.
What worried her, even more, was that Xiaoyu did not contact her again.
With Xiaoyu’s character, he would let Lin Mengya know that he was safe at least.
Why hadn’t he passed any message yet?
Lin Mengya was worried day and night, fearing that Xiaoyu would be hurt.
“Let’s go to the Royal City to check it out. Anyway, we have to go to the Imperial Palace first. As showed on the map, the entrance to the paradise city is under the Imperial Palace of the Lieyun Empire. We are not sure if we can open the gate without the key, but at least, we won’t let anyone seize the opportunity.”
Everyone agreed with Lin Mengya. However, they were a little surprised that the entrance to the paradise city was under the Imperial Palace of Lieyun.
What were the ancestors of the Lieyun Empire thinking? Didn’t they fear that this group of people would make a scene and overturn the Imperial Palace?
Lin Mengya rubbed her forehead. Since she entered the Lieyun Empire, she had felt a little restless.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the appointed place, a small village on the border of the Lieyun Empire.
This was a small place with not many residents, but the Emperor of the Lieyun Empire attached great importance to it.
From the moment they entered the village, the villagers immediately stopped what they were doing and scattered around tacitly.
According to Qinghu, there was a secret passage, which was concealed from all the forces in Lieyun and was exclusive to the Emperor.
“Why is this place so strange?”
Shi Bupo sat in the carriage, looking out curiously.
“These villagers are all experts. Of course, it is not an ordinary village.”
Xu Shan had much sharper eyesight than Shi Bupo, but he was far less attentive than Shi Bupo.
“I’m not talking about their martial arts. I mean, they seem to be very afraid of us. Even though there are more of us, they shouldn’t be like this.”
Shi Bupo rolled his eyes at Xu Shan, who was simple-minded and muttered.
Lin Mengya thought the same as Shi Bupo. She felt that the atmosphere here was a little weird.
They had already walked to the middle of the village. However, except for those who went outside to guard, no one came forward to communicate with them.
It was strange. They didn’t go the wrong way, but why didn’t the person, who was supposed to come to their aid, show up?
“There they come!”
Shi Bupo, who had been looking around, spotted a group of people coming toward them. Lin Mengya looked in the direction of the footsteps and saw five or six men in various outfits walking out of the largest courtyard of the village quickly.
Lin Mengya hurriedly ordered her men to stop. Baisu helped Lin Mengya get out of the carriage.
But before Lin Mengya could stand steadily, she was pulled into someone’s arms tightly.
“How dare you! Yu… Childe Yu!”
Baisu was about to rebuke Xiaoyu when she met his cold dark eyes.
Baisu shuddered. It was not until then that she realized that the slender man in a black cloak in front of them was Lin Zhongyu, whom they had often mentioned these days.
“Xiaoyu? Is it really you?”
Hearing that, Lin Mengya, who was not used to being embraced tightly by others, immediately looked up. As expected, she saw the familiar handsome face.
For a moment, Lin Mengya was excited instead of uneasy. She held Lin Zhongyu’s hand and smiled sweetly and brightly.
“Yes, it’s me.”
Xiaoyu seemed to be much taller than that before he left. In the past, their heights were barely even, but now, Xiaoyu was half a head taller than Lin Mengya.
His greyish-white hair had returned to black, and his facial features, which were gradually growing, were now extremely gorgeous.
However, Xiaoyu’s lips were too pale, his whole temperament was a little gloomy, and even his voice was much lower, which made Lin Mengya feel a little strange.
“Brat, why didn’t you tell me that you were safe when you came out? We’ve been worried about you for so long. You’re getting more and more naughty.”
Lin Mengya unconsciously avoided Xiaoyu’s eyes. For the first time, she, who had always doted on him like her biological younger brother, felt a sense of oppression.
Lin Mengya thought, “This brat seems to be sort of different from half a year ago.”
Xiaoyu held Lin Mengya’s slender waist firmly. He tried his best to hold back the surging emotions in his eyes.
“Are you worried about me? Are you still worried about me after you abandoned me?”
Xiaoyu’s voice was so soft that Lin Mengya thought she had misheard him.
She looked at the youth in front of her in confusion. Xiaoyu had the same familiar smile, but his tone was as cold as a knife, which made her feel particularly strange.
“Xiaoyu, do you misunderstand anything? I didn’t…”
“You didn’t abandon me? Or did you not take the advantage to leave while I was in danger? In your eyes, what am I, a doll that you can abandon at will, or a prop that you use to attract the attention of your enemies? Tell me!”
In the end, Xiaoyu’s voice was almost roaring.
Being stared at closely by Xiaoyu’s black eyes, Lin Mengya realized the raging anger and sadness burning in his eyes.
All of a sudden, the anger that welled up in her heart disappeared.
“It’s my fault. I left without telling you. Xiaoyu, I’m sorry. I always ignore your feelings. I’m sorry.”
Tears rolled down Lin Mengya’s cheeks as her heart ached.
Perhaps it was because Xiaoyu was too obedient, so Lin Mengya always took it for granted that he would forgive her and not blame her.
But she forgot that Xiaoyu would be sad, disappointed, and at loss about what to do.
