However, Long Tianyu was determined to do so even if he had to undergo the most severe trials.
“Since the copper slaves are here, who brought them here?” Qinghu suddenly changed the topic.
Even Lin Zhongyu was unable to react instantly.
A moment later, he answered Qinghu that they were brought here by Canying.
All of a sudden, a complicated sinister look flashed across Qinghu’s cold face.
After a long while, Qinghu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As Canying was killed, what Qinghu had gone through completely became a memory lingering in his heart.
Now, Lin Mengya was all he lived for.
“I’m not as familiar with the affairs of Candle Dragon Cult as you, so I need your help,” on the snow mountain, Long Tianyu said, sounding like an asura from hell.
He could catch anyone who was targeted by him even if his target hid in the remotest corners of the earth, and then he would kill his target in his own way.
If Long Tianyu was like a peerless lethal blade in a box before, now he put his tenderness endowed by Lin Mengya back in his heart.
Without that, he was merely a lethal weapon with a cruel name.
Lin Zhongyu watched his lonely and upright back in the snow, and somehow sighed in his heart, “Sister, I really don’t know if this is a good thing for Long Tianyu.”
After arranging everything, Long Tianyu returned to the cave.
The corpses of those useless people had been dragged out.
Long Tianyu personally cleaned up the withered poisonous grasses around the snake head pool, only leaving some bright-colored and gorgeous wildflowers around her.
He reached his hand into the water again.
The temperature of the hot spring was just right. Even on the cold snow mountain, she wouldn’t feel cold.
Watching her sleeping peacefully underwater, Long Tianyu showed a gentle smile with apparent misery.
He was willing to do all he could to make a last desperate effort to get the dragon bone for her.
He was also trying to save himself, because she was all he lived for.
“Wait for me here obediently. I’ll get the dragon bone for you soon. Sometimes, I think it’s good for you to stay in this state. At least I don’t need to worry that you will sneak out one day so that I can’t find you,” Long Tianyu said.
Touching her delicate and slender fingers, he felt that his heart was sunk in sleep with her at the bottom of the pool.
He lifted her hand and kissed her snow-white fingers gently.
Her fingers were different from those of ordinary women. Although they were also snow-white and soft, there were slightly rough calluses on them because she used needles all year round.
Nevertheless, Long Tianyu kept everything about her in his mind and engraved it in the deepest part of his mind.
“After I take you back to the Capital City from here, no one will dare to hurt you. Wait for me. Ya’er, you must wait for me here obediently,” he said.
There were ripples on the water. Even Long Tianyu did not notice that his face suddenly became a little wet.
Since he came of age, he had never cried for anyone other than her.
Watching his tears integrate into the pool in front of him, Long Tianyu gradually hid all his tenderness towards her.
After he turned around, he became the most cold-blooded and ruthless person in the entire world, leaving his tears containing his longing for guarding her to quietly protect her with the water in the pool!
Lin Zhongyu and Qinghu, who were waiting at the entrance of the cave, almost looked into the tunnel every now and then.
Although Qinghu really wanted to say goodbye to Lin Mengya, seeing the lifeless look in Long Tianyu’s eyes, he could only swallow back the words on the tip of his tongue in silence.
“You finally come out. Is it okay to leave her here?” Qinghu went up to Long Tianyu and asked about his biggest concern as he was at a loss what to say at the moment.
Long Tianyu nodded lightly.
Although this was Hou Yuetian’s sphere of influence, it was a piece of cake for Long Tianyu to secretly seal the snow mountain Qijue Peak.
“Are you coming with us?” Long Tianyu said to Xiaoyu, who had been leaning on the mountain wall.
Apart from Lin Mengya, they had no other topic of discussion.
Nevertheless, Long Tianyu remembered that Lin Mengya had anxiously longed for meeting her brother Xiaoyu, so she would be very delighted to see him at first sight after waking up.
Lin Zhongyu glanced at Long Tianyu and Qinghu and shook his head.
After that, he put on an indifferent look again and said, “I’ll stay here to guard my sister and go back later. Although the people you left behind are highly skilled in martial arts, few of them know about poison. I need to take care of the pool where my sister’s body is kept.”
He had said and done everything he should say and do.
Although Lin Zhongyu did not want to be his sister’s “accomplice”, at the thought that he could take his sister to his country safely, he was in excitement incompatible with the current situation.
Fortunately, he usually showed an indifferent look. Meanwhile, Long Tianyu and Qinghu were preoccupied with Lin Mengya’s safety, so they did not notice the slight flaw he showed.
Knowing that his reluctance to leave would only make Lin Mengya wake up later, Long Tianyu said, “Alright, she has missed you terribly. Stay here with her for a few days and take care of this place after we leave.”
After giving Lin Zhongyu instructions, Long Tianyu led Qinghu and his men down the mountain.
There was only one way to climb the snow mountain Qijue Peak, and the low temperature on the mountain made it not suitable for people to stay, so those people settled at the foot of the mountain.
Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief after they left.
Fortunately, he had another way to go up and down the mountain, otherwise, it would be difficult for him and his sister to get away.
Last time Lin Mengya had fallen asleep for about three days. This time, Lin Zhongyu stayed close to the snake head pool, for fear that he would be absent when his sister woke up.
Finally, after waiting for a day and a night, he saw that the calm pool began to ripple slowly.
After a snow-white hand was reached out of the water, with a “whoosh”, Lin Mengya showed up in front of Xiaoyu like a beauty who had just taken a bath.
“Ahem… ahem… I was choked by the water. I can’t use this method at will, otherwise I will drown myself sooner or later,” she said.
The suspended animation caused by the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass was very strange. Lin Mengya was not very sure how the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass did that, but just knew that after entering the state of suspended animation, not only did she not need to breathe, but also she needed much less energy to maintain her heartbeat and normal physical functions.
Moreover, she stayed in a hot spring, so she needed much less energy to maintain her temperature.
As such, after sleeping for a day and a night, she still had some strength.
Nevertheless, she, who just woke up, felt that her arms and legs went weak, as if they did not belong to her.
“If you want to use this method to deceive them again, you’d better do it yourself. You have no idea how difficult it is to convince Long Tianyu and Qinghu, especially Long Tianyu who almost committed suicide for you.” Lin Zhongyu complained as he was busy picking Lin Mengya up from the pool neatly.
Then he completely wrapped her in a dry cloak he prepared in advance and helped her out of the cave.
“Did he really attempt to commit suicide for me?” Lin Mengya asked.
Hearing Xiaoyu’s words, she felt that her heart skipped a beat.
Although she knew Long Tianyu’s feelings for her, she could not help but sigh in her heart at the thought that Long Tianyu attempted to commit suicide for her.
“Yes, but don’t worry. I’ve told him that you’re not thoroughly dead. Sister, are you sure he won’t try to commit suicide again?” Lin Zhongyu said.
He helped Lin Mengya sit down in front of the raging fire in the cave outside.
Lin Mengya had to recover her strength before going downhill. Lin Zhongyu took out some porridge he prepared and placed it in front of Lin Mengya.
“He won’t. Since he knows a way to save me, he will take good care of himself for the sake of saving me,” Lin Mengya said.
Lin Mengya held the bowl of porridge and tried hard to suppress her reluctance to part with Long Tianyu, and her eyes with tears were almost blurred by the steam from the porridge.
She also missed Long Tianyu terribly, wanted to tell him that she was still alive, and wanted to live with him forever no matter what happened.
However, she must handle this properly alone for their future.
“If you are really reluctant to part with him, let me send him a letter to tell him that you are still alive, isn’t that great?” Lin Zhongyu said.
Seeing his sister still insisted on handling the matter by herself despite her red eyes, he felt sorry for that.
But Lin Mengya shook her head. After taking a big sip of warm porridge, she seemed to have regained some strength.
She said, “No, this matter is of great importance. Do you think it’s really safe to stay with Long Tianyu? I think his father, who relegated me to a vice Princess and let me move back to the Lin’s Mansion, is up to the same thing. If I can’t even hide my whereabouts from him, how can I hide my whereabouts from the members of the Candle Dragon Cult?”
Once she realized something, it was difficult to pretend to be unaware of it.
In fact, Lin Mengya did not want to come to this point. But things were unpredictable. Even her mother probably did not expect the secret her mother had tried hard to hide would become the biggest burden to her.
Everyone said that she took a lot after her mother. But only she knew that the biggest difference between her and her mother was that her mother was willing to bet on her life to hide these things, while she dared to break down all barriers like a fearless beast.
Although they were both willing to sacrifice their lives, they got completely different results.
“I just feel sorry for Long Tianyu who loves you so dearly. Sister, I’m confused. Since you like him so much, why can’t you go through thick and thin with him?” The young man with greyish white hair sitting beside Lin Mengya asked with a puzzled look.
He really wanted his sister to go with him, but he could see the current situation clearly.
Long Tianyu was reluctant to part with Lin Mengya, and so was Lin Mengya.
