Chapter 902 Being Unable to Co-Exist
She pretended to look around casually, and a cold snort came from behind.
“You’re already here, Miss Lin, you’d better not take any chances. And if you run away, you won’t be able to see your old friend in the yard again.”
Yunzhu’s sarcastic tone came from behind. Lin Mengya turned around briefly then entered the courtyard without saying a word.
Yunzhu seemed to hate her a little bit which surprised Lin Mengya.
There was no big conflict between them in the past. She could understand that Yunzhu had turned against her, but where did this deep hatred come from?
Although she didn’t get it, someone would tell her the answer after all.
The courtyard was so deep that no one knew how big it was.
However, under the surveillance of those men in black, she was like a chicken with its head cut off, following Yunzhu into the depths of the yard.
The interlocking courtyard seemed to be endless.
She thought that she would have reached the destination, but in the next moment, she was led out by another side door.
Only then did she realize that there was a different world on the other side.
Lin Mengya’s face darkened. She did not expect Yunzhu and the others to be so aggressive.
But these connected courtyards looked very desolate. They didn’t see many people along the way.
It seemed that all the houses here were their strongholds.
If the imperial court had any doubts, they could hide in these courtyards.
Such a big move. It seemed that the Candle Dragon Cult attached great importance to the stronghold here.
“Now go in. Someone’s waiting for you.”
Yunzhu stopped in front of a shabby courtyard until Lin Mengya’s feet were sore…
Before she went in, Lin Mengya’s expression changed slightly.
This smell is…
The gate of the small courtyard looked very sturdy, especially the iron lock which weighed at least five or six pounds. It was probably used to lock some kind of fierce beast.
Yunzhu turned around. Her beautiful face was so weird at this moment.
She looked at Lin Mengya proudly. She was sure that Lin Mengya couldn’t hinder her any more.
However, Lin Mengya didn’t argue with her but hurried into the yard.
But as soon as she entered the door, she was stunned on the spot.
“T… teacher!”
The courtyard was full of big rotten pots, and each of them contained a plant which was extremely beautiful.
But what shocked her were not the plants.
Instead, there was a strong stench of rotten blood in the yard.
The rotten smell was mixed with the strange fragrance of flowers which was very irresistible but charming instantly.
None of all those people outside, except Yunzhu, had stepped into the yard.
Lin Mengya frowned her brows tightly. As expected, Yunzhu had asked her teacher to cultivate the Scarlet Ginseng.
The Shen Nung system ran normally, and she had already analyzed every plant here.
It was no wonder that people were easily addicted to the poppy that was watered by human flesh and blood.
“Your useless teacher is inside. You respect him so much, but now he is still planting these harmful things. A hypocrite is a hypocrite. It’s totally unnecessary to pretend being noble.”
Yunzhu’s words showed no mercy at all. Lin Mengya clearly heard the dying sound of coughing coming from inside.
Lin Mengya didn’t care about anything else and ran into the room immediately.
In the black room, which was suffused with the smell of medicine, a skinny old man was lying on the ground and coughing so hard that people would be frightened.
“Teacher!”
Lin Mengya only felt furious. Before she left, her teacher was in his prime.
But now he was so skinny. His ragged clothes were stained with large patches of dirty.
Those were the marks left by the blood, and he was covered with scars, and one of his legs was locked.
Now he was even worse than a dog.
“Teacher, I’m Mengya. Look at me, look at me!”
Lin Mengya helped Baili Rui to his feet. The latter’s dull eyes suddenly lit up when he saw his student in front of him, whose face was already covered with tears.
But then they dimmed, and his cracked lips opened wide. A series of beast-like roars rolled in his throat.
“Ha… Haha…”
His skinny body was swaying. Lin Mengya could only support him gently for fear of touching his wound again.
But when he saw Yunzhu behind her, he seemed to be crazy and hid behind her.
“What did you do to my teacher?”
Lin Mengya could not hold back her anger when she said these words.
She thought that Yunzhu still loved her teacher although she had betrayed her.
But in the current situation, her teacher seemed to have gone crazy.
The teacher who had doted on her as his own daughter and personally bestowed her with the art of poison. He had always cared about her. But now… he had actually been driven crazy by this woman!
“Yunzhu deserved to die! Everyone who humiliated her teacher deserved to die!”
Looking at Lin Mengya, whose eyes had turned red, Yunzhu only sneered cruelly.
She picked up the whip on the table next to the door. Lin Mengya felt that the teacher behind her seemed to be shaking even harder.
“What did I do? Hahaha, do you think I’m cruel? But let me tell you, what happened today is less than one-tenth of what this old bastard did to me!”
Yunzhu seemed to have gone mad as well. There was a hint of bloody viciousness in her voice.
She raised the whip, which had barbs on it, and darted to the teacher behind her like a viper.
Baili Rui whined in a strange way, and his eyes were full of fear for this kind of torture.
Lin Mengya was so furious, and she immediately held the skinny old man in her arms.
The whip with great anger fell on her shoulder and back.
“It hurts!”
The burning pain made Lin Mengya’s face turn pale in an instant, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her face. But she clenched her teeth and didn’t scream out.
“It’s okay, Teacher. I’m here. I’ll protect you.”
Baili Rui, who was in her arms, looked at the small girl in a daze.
Lin Mengya lowered her head and comforted her teacher in a gentle voice.
“Humph, it seems that you really have a deep affection for this old bastard. But this is what he deserves. Get out of my way, or I’ll beat you together!”
Yunzhu was not rational at all. At this time, she had been driven mad by the anger of the past.
If it weren’t for the fact that this old man was still useful, she would have already tortured Baili Rui to death in the cruelest way.
Lin Mengya wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth. She turned around and stood in front of her teacher in pain.
“Come on, beat me to death! I’m afraid you won’t dare. If you dare to hit me again, I promise I will make you wish you were in the hell!”
At this moment, Lin Mengya was no longer uninhibited to Yunzhu.
She would never forgive those who had betrayed her.
Moreover, Yunzhu had ruined her teacher. She must make this woman suffer a hundred times or even a thousand times more!
“You! Good, how touching of you and your teacher! Stay here, or I will tear apart the bones of that old bastard one day!”
Yunzhu said resentfully with a whip in her hand. If it weren’t for the repeated instructions from her superior that Lin Mengya couldn’t be hurt at all, she would surely have taught this girl a lesson.
Watching Yunzhu leave angrily, Lin Mengya quickly turned around and looked at her teacher who was sitting on the ground.
“It’s all right, Teacher. She won’t bully you anymore. It’s all right now.”
The wound on her back should be dealt with, otherwise, it would probably poison her teacher.
The door outside was slammed shut. When the door was finally locked, Yunzhu’s sinister voice rose from outside.
“Watch these two people inside carefully. If they run away, you’ll all die!”
A killing intent flashed in Lin Mengya’s eyes. She was not completely unprepared.
Since the woman dared to hurt her teacher, the sharp knife in her hand must penetrate her heart.
“Hey, silly girl, why do you have to get involved in this? It doesn’t matter at all even if she killed me. You…”
All of a sudden, Teacher’s happy but distressed words came to her ears.
Lin Mengya looked at her teacher in surprise. There was no trace of confusion in his eyes.
It turned out that he was all pretending!
“Teacher, you’ve done me a great favor. I would never let them bully you. By the way, Teacher, why are you acting dumb?”
Everyone knew that Baili Rui was the best master of poison in the world, but few people knew that he was a tough man with a strong will.
Just now, Lin Mengya did not believe that her teacher was really mad. No one in the world was stronger than her teacher.
Therefore, what happened just now should be a cover-up for her teacher.
Baili Rui looked at his student lovingly and stood up from the ground slowly.
Although he was very skinny, he seemed to be very mobile.
“I knew you would come. Little girl, you must leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will become their last ‘ingredient’. At that time, your life will be in danger.”
Baili Rui brought a piece of clean cloth and some medicine. Lin Mengya took them obediently, but she just damped the cloth and wiped the wound with pain.
“Even if I don’t come, they will come to me. Teacher, there is something in my body that you’re looking for.”
Helplessly, she wanted to smile, but she failed because of the wound on her back.
Baili Rui fixed his eyes on his student. After a while, his eyes were wide open.
“You mean…”
Looking at her teacher, who had always been steady, trembled with excitement, Lin Mengya nodded and showed the wound on her back to him.
“The last Seven Poisons Sacred Grass in the world is in my blood. Now, my blood has become the most powerful poison in the world.”
“Of course, it was also an antidote to all the poison in the world.”
Baili Rui stared at the light purple blood beads on her back. There was a complicated look in his eyes.
