Chapter 833 - Plan to Rule All the Land
“How is that possible? My teacher has always abhorred this kind of thing. He won’t even cast a glance at it, let alone make it. Did you make a mistake? Maybe he intended to make the antidote,” Lin Mengya subconsciously grabbed hold of the front of Long Tianyu’s clothes and anxiously tried to defend her teacher.
Long Tianyu was not annoyed, nor did he think that she was doubting him.
He cupped Lin Mengya’s face in his hands and kissed her red lips to pacify her who was anxious.
Others might not be aware of how much Mr. Baili meant to Lin Mengya, but he, as her husband, was.
She gradually loosened her grip and calmed down a lot although she was breathing rapidly.
Long Tianyu finally stopped kissing her lips and turned to kiss her forehead gently.
“Have you calmed down? If you did, I’m going to tell you one more thing,” Long Tianyu said.
Lin Mengya, nestling in his arms, could only nod helplessly.
She had been overcome with emotion, but she believed Baili Rui would never do that.
She could vouch for this with all she had!
“Your teacher, Baili Rui, may have been used by someone. My men had been addicted to it. At that time, I could only ask Mr. Baili for help. He seemed to be shocked and regretful. So I think that Mr. Baili may have been tricked into this, even if he has something to do with this,” Long Tianyu said in a soothing voice.
Lin Mengya gradually calmed down, and her calm and smart mind was her most powerful weapon.
“I think I know who made use of him. Nevertheless, since he was aware that he was used by someone, he would presumably be on guard. After getting things done here, I’ll go back to the Jin State with you for a temporary stay,” Lin Mengya said.
She had her plan. When she came to the Lieyun Empire, she intended to settle all the matters once and for all.
Only in this way could she have no potential worries.
However, the complexity of the situation was obviously beyond her overall judgment.
The matters in the Lieyun Empire definitely could not be settled easily.
Sooner or later, she had to make a decision.
Before that, she must thoroughly settle all her businesses concerning those people she cared about in the distant Jin State and Long Tianyu in front of her.
“A temporary stay? Aren’t you going home with me?” Long Tianyu asked.
He, who was sensitive, quickly noticed that she used the words “a temporary stay” which made him feel a little uneasy as if she would leave him at any time.
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya believed it would be better to tell Long Tianyu about her plan in advance.
She had kept her plan to herself all this time.
But now, since she had decided to share a common destiny with Long Tianyu, she must make it clear to him.
“Don’t worry, I won’t leave you anymore. Now, I’m going to tell you the most significant secret I know. No one in the world other than us will know the secret. It is…” Lin Mengya whispered in Long Tianyu’s ear.
He, who was composed at the beginning, became shocked and then anxious and doubtful.
After Lin Mengya told him about her whole plan, Long Tianyu showed an astonished look in his eyes.
Lin Mengya burst out laughing.
She pinched Long Tianyu’s nose gently to bring him back from his stupefaction.
“Ya’er, did you come up with the whole plan by yourself?” He asked, grabbing Lin Mengya’s hand excitedly.
He could hardly believe this.
Gosh, it seemed that he didn’t know enough about his wife.
Since time immemorial, there had been no one who intended to bring the whole world under his domination.
However, she made such a plan.
It seemed that he should reevaluate his wife’s vision.
At the sight of his proud expression, Lin Mengya involuntarily shook her head.
Since she and Long Tianyu were in love with each other, he often showed this expression.
Every time she made an achievement, he was even more pleased than her.
In fact, being regarded as his daughter by him made her a little speechless.
But what delighted her even more was Long Tianyu’s broad mind.
There was never a sense of superiority or inferiority in their relationship.
Plenty of men naturally considered that they could occupy the dominant position in a relationship only if they were superior to their wives.
Therefore, they were usually unwilling to see their wives get increasingly good.
They, who were supposed to support their wives, eventually became obstacles to their wives’ making progress.
Lin Mengya had always been contemptuous of this.
However, no matter what achievement she made, Long Tianyu considered it as his glory.
No matter what path she took, he would keep up with her and even surpass her.
They thought highly of each other, supported each other, and admired each other.
They became a better version of themselves in their relationship.
Holding Long Tianyu in her arms, Lin Mengya rested her face on his chest.
She hoped to spend every single day of her life with him.
“But in this case, you have to revisit the three countries other than the Lieyun Empire, don’t you? Can you entrust this task to other people?” Long Tianyu asked.
Even he considered Lin Mengya’s plan very bold.
However, a bold plan was usually riskier.
Although Lin Mengya could get rid of the Candle Dragon Cult and lots of people, who coveted the relics of the Guwei State, in one fell swoop, it was a very risky move.
“I want to sit idle and enjoy the fruits of others’ work, but let me tell you the truth, Taro. If I do this in person, I’ll have 50 percent chance of succeeding, but if I entrust it to other people, they can only get killed. In this case, what’s the difference between me and the members of the Candle Dragon Cult? Power is neither good nor evil, and what matters is the decision of the power holder. If I don’t handle this by myself, I think I will soon get lost in the pleasure of manipulating power. When the time comes, I will be exactly like the head of the Candle Dragon Cult. Do you get what I mean?” Lin Mengya said.
She rested her chin on Long Tianyu’s chest as she smiled lightly.
Nevertheless, at the sight of the determined look in her eyes, Long Tianyu realized her determination.
“Indeed, this is what you do. Rest assured, I’ll accompany you wherever you go. I don’t care you are going to the heaven or the hell,” he said with a smile.
The affection in Long Tianyu’s eyes was enough to make her indulge in.
Lin Mengya reached out to put her arms around Long Tianyu’s neck and kissed him with her soft lips.
As it got dark, they engaged in romantic intercourse in the room…
After the intimacy last night, Long Tianyu leave reluctantly until dawn.
Lin Mengya had no idea for how long they would have to have such exciting and secret meetings.
But with Long Tianyu around, Lin Mengya had a better complexion.
Although her face was still white and delicate, it was rosy.
Besides, she became plumper than before. In recent days, she had gotten up early in the morning and joined other palace maids in doing morning exercises.
Although given her body constitution, she was aware that she would not be able to get fat in her life, doing some exercise was quite beneficial.
Lin Mengya, whose rosy cheeks were covered with a thin layer of sweat, went back to her room for a shower.
With wet hair disheveled, she saw Baisu sitting at the table with a serious look.
It seemed that she had been haunted by that matter.
“What’s wrong? Did things not go well?” With a gentle smile, Lin Mengya sat down beside Baisu and asked softly.
Baisu shook her head and smiled in trouble, while handing the envelope in her arms to Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya opened the envelope and read the letter carefully.
Although she knew that it was not easy to gather information, at least she had a clue now.
The thing, as thick as hair but extraordinarily flexible, was a kind of puppet wire popular among puppet manipulators in recent years.
As its name implied, it was the wire the puppet manipulators used to manipulate puppets.
An ordinary puppet normally was not as heavy as a human, so it did not require a high-quality puppet wire to manipulate it.
But in recent years, a kind of art of manipulating people as puppets quietly prevailed in the circle of martial arts.
At the very beginning, the art of manipulating puppets was meant to enable the puppet manipulators to manipulate those who moved with difficulty to move freely or do some other things after they died.
But the art of manipulating puppets was gradually used for other purposes.
Numerous innocent people in the circle of martial arts got killed by this evil art of manipulating puppets.
However, because puppet manipulators generally were good at covering up their evil deeds and merely kept some puppets for pretense, no one could do anything to them.
There was only one way to distinguish whether a puppet manipulator used people as puppets.
That depended on whether he used this kind of abnormally tough and thin puppet wires.
Puppet manipulators could change their puppets or gear, but they would not change their puppets wires easily.
Lin Mengya frowned as she read the letter.
Puppet manipulator? This was a profession she had never come across!
However, she would not be at her wits’ end with it.
She looked up, recalling that Baisu seemed to be preoccupied by trouble before she read the letter.
By the time she finished reading, Baisu remained gloomy.
She waved her hand helplessly in front of Baisu. Seeing Baisu look blankly at her, she could not help but sigh.
“What are you thinking? You seemed to be lost in thought,” she asked.
Baisu was a little embarrassed. She had always acted like this in front of Lin Mengya.
Baisu said, “In… in fact, I also handled a private affair during this visit. I’m sorry, Miss. I failed to suppress the urge to go to ask my master in private. I didn’t expect that my master… he warned me severely and told me to stop asking about this. He also told me not to tell anyone about this. I began to doubt my memories. I’ve never seen him so panicked. Tell me, did I do wrong?”
So that was how it was. As Baisu said, if even her master avoided mentioning this, this might be related to something very serious.
