Chapter 865
Chapter 865 The Mask of Candle Dragon
In the past, Lin Mengya had ignored many details because of Xiaoyu.
For example, the most powerful of the four empires to raise venomous insects was Lieyun Empire. The better at keeping venomous insects a person was, the higher status he would get in Lieyun.
In that case, there’s a possibility.
Could it be the more prestigious a person was in Lieyun, the more likely he was to be a member of the Candle Dragon Cult?
It seemed she was an enemy of the Lieyun Empire!
That was not the most terrible. If it was true, did it mean that the people of Lieyun, whom she was on good terms with, might be her enemies?
Lin Mengya thought very fast, and she only felt a burst of panic in her heart.
Unconsciously, she touched her waist and found a hard jade token.
That was the official seal that Madam Jingrou gave her. With it, Lin Mengya could go in and out of the palace a will. She could also use it to mobilize the resources and people of the palace. It could also become her amulet at a critical moment.
When she thought of the people and the things she had experienced since arriving at Lieyun, the doubts in her heart gradually disappeared.
Having figured it out in her heart, Lin Mengya looked relieved.
She lifted the corners of her mouth, and a warm smile reappeared on her face.
“Little girl, are you stupid?”
Qinghu asked worriedly, waving his hand in front of her eyes.
“Go away. Don’t make trouble. Let me ask you, who told you this? Or, who made you have this feeling?”
If the person saying these words was not him, Lin Mengya would think that the person was a spy sent by the Candle Dragon Cult to sap her confidence.
It was easy for the Candle Dragon Cult, such a large organization, to infiltrate a country. At first, Qinghu’s words seemed to make sense.
But they ignored another thing just now. The Lieyun Empire and Candle Dragon Cult were fundamentally different.
“Do you suspect that someone has deliberately misled me? It’s impossible, little girl. I came up with that idea according to my experience in the Candle Dragon Cult all these years. I don’t believe anyone except you.”
After he retorted, Lin Mengya frowned slightly. But after a while, she calmed down.
The smile on her face turned cold again as if she was silently mocking someone.
“You’re right. Maybe your feelings are real. But the whole Candle Dragon Cult wanted to give you the feelings. In other words, you’ve been deceived by the whole Candle Dragon Cult!”
Had he been deceived by the Candle Dragon Cult? “How is this possible?”
Almost instantly, Qinghu’s smart brain led him to think outside the box. He stood from the perspective of an onlooker and thought about this question.
“You are right. The Candle Dragon Cult gives people a feeling of cruelty, gloom, and horror. And the Lieyun Empire gives people a feeling of coldness, arrogance, and mystery. Therefore, misled by someone with evil intentions, it is easy to imagine the Lieyun Empire and the Candle Dragon Cult are related. This is the way the Candle Dragon Cult protects itself. It confuses people in the world, not just one or two people.”
In fact, Lin Mengya figured it out by accident. The Candle Dragon Cult was just an organization among the people. Since it was among the people, it must be a place for some people to seek benefits.
To preserve order, countries would make all kinds of rules, known as laws.
But the Candle Dragon Cult was different. From the first time she dealt with the Candle Dragon Cult, she knew that it was a chaotic place where strength was the most important.
Therefore, the two that looked similar were completely different.
If Lieyun were the Candle Dragon Cult, it would have been in a mess under ambition.
However, Lieyun was promising, filled with vitality and possibilities.
Perhaps there would be darkness shrouding Lieyun for the time being, but Lin Mengya believed that one day, there would be a wise man who would give Lieyun new hope.
She believed that the person who brought about the turning point must be Xiaoyu.
She was afraid what Candle Dragon Cult had done would bring a disaster to Lieyun.
Every ambitious individual or organization wanted to find the relic of the Guwei State.
Candle Dragon Cult was the closest to the target among them.
At that time, Lieyun, misled by the people in the world, would be the first to be attacked by everyone.
At that time, Lieyun would be innocent and implicated, and Xiaoyu would not be safe either.
“Although I still think that the Candle Dragon Cult has something to do with Lieyun, I also think that the Emperor couldn’t be the real leader of the Candle Dragon Cult. Do you remember Xiaoyu lied to us before and said that if we wanted to resurrect you, we had to find the real dragon bone of the Candle Dragon Cult? Everyone in the Candle Dragon Cult knows the real dragon bone is with their leader. If so, how could he not know that?”
Qinghu was smart. However, he was too close to it, so he could not see it clearly.
In fact, she was the same. She had lived here for half a year and recognized those people.
So, she didn’t believe Qinghu’s words. Things might not be real by listening and seeing.
It seemed that in the future, no matter what she would do, she had to listen to and see it carefully first.
“So, it is a little complicated. But if we think as follows, it will be much easier to understand. The leader of the Candle Dragon Cult may come from a well-known or even royal family in Lieyun, so the person knows about Lieyun very well. In the management of the Candle Dragon Cult, he may use some customs of Lieyun as a reference. Or he might want to mislead others and let them think that the Candle Dragon Cult was in Lieyun. Then, he made use of Lieyun’s exclusion to create an illusion that Lieyun is the headquarters of the Candle Dragon Cult. In this way, he could confuse the world. Even if one day it is attacked, Lieyun Empire will become their guard. Once something happens to the Lieyun Empire, they will have enough time to retreat. After all, it is difficult to conquer the Candle Dragon Cult, not to mention a country. It will run out of countless resources to conquer a country.”
With a smart brain, Lin Mengya was good at organizing and analyzing information.
Hearing this, Qinghu also felt that it made sense.
According to Lin Mengya’s words, Lieyun was in danger.
“In that case, let’s wait and see. There must be other people having the idea other than me. Why don’t we think of a way to get Lieyun and Candle Dragon Cult to separate themselves? What do you think of it?”
She had the same idea, but she would not be the one who did this.
“I’m thinking the same thing as you, but it’s better to let Xiaoyu and the others think about it. Qinghu, I want to go back to Dajin. Can you come with me?”
Lin Mengya tilted her head, looking at Qinghu. She knew that he must agree with her. But she still wanted to seek his opinion out of habit.
Qinghu was stunned for a moment. He did not understand what Lin Mengya meant.
There was a hint of anxiety between his brows. He was afraid that she would take the thing too hard and make a wrong decision.
“I know the relationship between you and Long Tianyu. But it’s not suitable for you to go back now. There are still so many things for you to do. If you go back now, what if all your efforts are in vain?”
Qinghu sounded a little anxious, but Lin Mengya’s heart felt warm when she heard his words.
He always cared about her.
Holding Qinghu’s hand, Lin Mengya looked at him seriously.
“I want to go back and make a decision. I have no way out, Qinghu. Do you understand?”
Qinghu seldom saw the determination reflected in her black eyes.
He was clear that once Lin Mengya showed such an expression, she would never back down.
“Are you determined? I don’t want to see you in pain, not to mention to see you get hurt.”
She was the only one to make him so hesitant in this world.
If it were someone else, he wouldn’t even bother to mock the person.
But he was sensitive about her joy and sadness in his heart.
“I must go there. Qinghu, you can choose not to go with me. I must do some things. You may not know one thing. My background is complicated. I can’t tell you with just a few words. I am sure that I am destined to find the relic of the Guwei State.”
Qinghu suddenly smiled, but he felt a little more relaxed in his helplessness.
“No, I must go back with you. You have your destiny, and I have mine.”
His destiny was to die for her.
He was destined to do that since she had rescued him.
“Okay, that’s great.”
Holding Qinghu’s face in her hands, Lin Mengya looked around carefully. Her attentive look made Qinghu shiver.
After flirting, what was this girl going to do now?
“Why are you more feminine than a woman?”
With a little bit of jealousy in her voice, Lin Mengya held her chin with her hands. Her big eyes flickered.
“I… I am just so so. But what on earth do you want to do?”
Qinghu had an impulse to put his hands on his shoulders. The look in this girl’s eyes was too suspicious.
“I want to know if you can help me train the girl in the room to be noble, elegant, cold, and proud within ten days.”
The chosen witch couldn’t just have an appearance, nor could she be bluffing.
Ningqiu had been trained to be different from an ordinary woman when following Madam.
But she thought it was not enough.
A real chosen witch had an extraordinary status and powerful skills. Naturally, she should be arrogant and disdained associating with ordinary people.
Now Ningqiu’s temperament was a little too amiable.
Moreover, she had served Madam for a long time, so she looked like a female official, not a master.
If she was seen through by others, wouldn’t their efforts be in vain?
“Well, it’s not a problem. I must tell you that the Xin Family was strict in checking chosen witches. Is it possible for you to do so?”
Qinghu looked at Lin Mengya suspiciously, but the latter only gave him a contemptuous look.
“You’ll know when the time comes. I can even make a female celestial being, not to mention a chosen witch.”
