“This is indeed amazing. Nevertheless, since it is a treasure among the relics of the Guwei State, could it be that someone had once found the relics of the Guwei State?” Lin Mengya asked.
However, hearing her question, Long Tianyu shook his head.
Then he ruffled her long hair and held her tightly in his arms.
Although they were not talking about something concerned with love and romance, what he did made the atmosphere between the two of them relaxing and sweet.
He said, “These things were pa.s.sed down along with the legend rather than being taken out of the relics of the Guwei State by someone, and their existence turned the relics of the Guwei State from a legend into a reality. Even the music score for green stringed instrument, which belonged to your mother, was one of the tools that turned this dream into a reality.”
If Long Tianyu hadn’t mentioned this, Lin Mengya wouldn’t have had this feeling.
She nestled in Long Tianyu’s arms and unconsciously fiddled with his black hair with her hand, while her brain was working at a rapid rate.
“Do you think these things are like baits?” she asked.
These people’s obsession with the relics of the Guwei State was beyond Lin Mengya’s imagination.
They were more insanely fanatical about it than obsessed with it.
That was the reason why Lin Mengya suddenly had this feeling.
If these things were all baits deliberately exposed to deceive those fanatical treasure hunters, things would be even more bizarre and unpredictable.
“I also think so. However, not everyone can resist this temptation,” Long Tianyu said with his eyes full of admiration for his wife.
He did not mean to brag.
There was no shortage of ambitious or smart people around the world.
However, his wife might be the only person who was ambitious, scheming and capable of looking on the situation as a disinterested by-stander and making a thorough a.n.a.lysis.
“It’s true that these things are extraordinary enough to make people fanatical. Nevertheless, is there any symbol to verify them?” Lin Mengya, who suddenly had a bold idea, asked.
Although she had the help of the map, she could only roughly guess the location of the relics of the Guwei State.
But she probably could easily draw out many of the evil treasure hunters hidden in the dark by giving them an illusion.
Although she was not a proficient counterfeiter, she was aware that no one in the world was closer to the legendary relics of the Guwei State than her.
“Yes, but it’s very hard to counterfeit,” Long Tianyu answered.
As soon as he finished speaking, he, who had a tacit understanding with her, got up, took off his black cloak, and presented her an inconspicuous spot on the cloak where there was a plum blossom mark.
“Isn’t this... the symbol of my mother’s family? You’ve seen it on my waist,” Lin Mengya said in surprise.
She knew the dual-pupiled scheming man might have played a trick so that Wanyan Jing did not see the plum blossom mark on her waist that night.
But why was there such a mark on a treasure among the relics of the Guwei State?
“Yes, this mark looks exactly like the one on your waist. In fact, when I first saw this mark, I was also shocked. Could it be that your mother’s family has something to do with the relics of the Guwei State?” Long Tianyu asked.
Lin Mengya did not expect this.
Back then, she had asked her two cousins, but neither of them could tell her where her mother’s unique mark came from.
Moreover, she had seen this mark on the statue of the Witch Empress.
What was the connection between them?
“I’m not sure. Maybe it’s arranged by fate. Oh, yes, despite the weird shape of the plum blossom mark, it’s not difficult to counterfeit. What makes it difficult to counterfeit?” Lin Mengya asked.
However she looked at it, it was just an ordinary plum blossom mark.
But Long Tianyu took over the cloak and drew a bottle of special potion from his bosom.
After he dripped a drop of potion on the mark, Lin Mengya was astonished to see the mark spread slowly.
The mark, which seemed to be painted on the cloak a moment ago, spread slowly as if it were alive.
In the twinkling of an eye, the plum blossom mark became an extremely complicated and gorgeous plum blossom picture. Although it was composed of complicated black lines, they seemed to present Lin Mengya a garden of blooming plum blossoms.
There seemed to be some missing parts of the painting, but because of the limited potion, the mark finally stopped spreading at the edge of the area covered by the potion.
They could see none other than this part of the picture.
Lin Mengya stared at the painting in surprise for a long time, thinking it was really weird.
“Have you seen the complete picture?” she asked.
After Lin Mengya was done with observing the picture, Long Tianyu took the cloak and put it above the candlelight to dry it gently.
As it was dried, the amazingly beautiful picture disappeared.
Lin Mengya sat on the bed, still shocked at the picture.
Shaking his head, Long Tianyu put the cloak aside after drying it.
Then he pulled the quilt to tuck her and himself in. Watching her nestling in his arms obediently, he was filled with satisfaction.
He said, “I’ve tried soaking the entire cloak in this potion, but I could only see this part. I think it should be part of an entire picture, but I’m not sure what kind of picture it is. Now you realize why it’s difficult to counterfeit the mark, do you?”
Lin Mengya nodded. It was true.
It was not difficult to counterfeit the plum blossom mark, but the picture it formed could not be counterfeited.
“That explains it. It seems that we need to find several real treasures to deceive them. By the way, do you know any treasures other than the cloak?” Lin Mengya asked.
She, who knew her husband well, naturally asked him about other treasures.
Since he was aware of the existence of such amazing treasures, how could he be satisfied to own only one of them?
Long Tianyu held her in his arms with a deep smile, thinking she could actually read his mind.
He said, “I heard that the royal venomous insect at the Meeting of Venomous Insects is also one of the treasures. But they definitely won’t allow us to get it easily, so I have no alternative but to give up my first preference.”
It was no wonder that he, who always did not like noisy environment, took the initiative to attend the Meeting of Venomous Insects.
It turned out that he was after the royal venomous insect.
“But you should be careful. You can’t get the royal venomous insect easily. Oh, it reminds me of something. It seems that the other princes won’t be as lucky as Xiaoyu this time.” As Lin Mengya said, she narrowed her eyes and showed a wicked smile.
Long Tianyu raised his eyebrows. Every time she showed such a smile, someone would get into trouble.
He just wondered who was about to get into trouble this time.
“I forgot to tell you one thing. In fact, when I used the Seven Poisons Sacred Gra.s.s to neutralize the poison in my body, I got good out of misfortune. After being mixed with the toxin of the Seven Poisons Sacred Gra.s.s, my blood changed a little. Now I’m immune to all kinds of poisons, and once my blood is exposed to the air, it will turn into the most deadly poison in the world. The more incredible thing is that those venomous insects from the Lieyun Empire seem to be very afraid of my blood. I gave Xiaoyu a small bottle of my blood when he went to attend the Meeting of Venomous Insects. Maybe it will have an unexpected effect!” Lin Mengya said.
Although she had no idea what they were going to do at the Meeting of Venomous Insects, with her blood, the other princes’ venomous insects would not be able to compete with that of Xiaoyu.
A trace of complicated emotions flashed across Long Tianyu’s eyes.
Lin Mengya, who did not see that, smiled joyfully with one of her arms on the other.
“Even so, you should avoid using your blood. Your blood is more precious than anything else. Don’t hurt yourself for some trifles, do you get it?” As Long Tianyu said, he kissed her arm gently without showing any fear because the blood flowing in her blood vessels beneath her snow-white skin was the most poisonous in the world.
No matter what had happened to her, she was always his only sweetheart who was even more important than his life.
“Okay, I got it. Oh, yes, did you visit my teacher before you left this time? If that old man learns my death although I feigned it, he’ll be heart-broken, won’t he?” Lin Mengya asked.
Every sleepless night, she terribly missed everyone in Prince Yu’s Mansion.
At present, her father and brother were missing, and there was no news of Hongyu and the others.
Fortunately, Long Tianyu told her that Qinghu had found Baiji and Baishao and sent some people to protect them in secret.
At the thought that her family members, who had lived together joyfully, were now separated, Lin Mengya was distressed.
Nevertheless, ever since Elder Sister Yue Ting pa.s.sed away, she had learned to smile and be strong in the face of pain.
All her family members were waiting for her to go back, so she had no right or time to be sentimental.
If she wanted to cry, she must hide her tears at the bottom of her heart for the time being.
When they met again, she could turn the sadness she had felt during this period into joy and release her emotions.
Sometimes, it was harder to smile than to cry.
“Mr. Baili is not doing very well recently. My men came to report that there seemed to be someone with an ulterior motive around Mr. Baili. I sent some people to keep a close watch on him, but they didn’t find any trace of the person. Nevertheless, Mr. Baili seems to know the person,” Long Tianyu said.
He should be talking about Yunzhu.
At the thought of Yunzhu, Lin Mengya recalled the arrangements she made before she left.
If things went well, Yunzhu would have been a mere figurehead by now.
The real power of the Sanjue Hall was in complete control of several members.
But would Yunzhu let it go so easily?
Obviously, the answer was no.
Nevertheless, as long as Yunzhu did not betray Baili Rui, she could turn a blind eye to other things.
“The acquaintances of my teacher, who used to be the Saint of Poison, are definitely extraordinary. I believe that he has a sense of propriety. Alas, I made him worried about me again,” Lin Mengya said.
Baili Rui treated her as his daughter, and she treated him as her father.
She certainly liked anything or anyone he liked.
“I’m aware of this, but I’m afraid that Mr. Baili may not be able to see through his friend’s real intention. Just before I left the Jin State, the Immortal Powder, which had put us in a miserable situation, actually appeared in the Capital City, and it became more powerful this time. I’ve sent some people to investigate into this matter thoroughly. The clues show that it’s inextricably linked with Mr. Baili,” Long Tianyu said.
