Chapter 408 Their Whereabouts Exposed

Still wrapped in the blanket, her face turned from being flushed to pale and back to being flushed again.

She gritted her teeth. She did not expect to meet with such things even when she was dressed up as a man.

Since days of old, it had always been the most debased men who were worse than beasts who would violate women!

Although she could tell that the person had no time to violate her yet, she still could not suppress the anger in her.

She wanted to skin and kill that person so badly.

“Come, have a cup of warm water. Long Tianyu had gone after that person. Given how highly skilled he is, he won’t let that person escape.”

Qiu Yu did not know how to comfort Lin Mengya. He had thought that she would be weeping. He did not expect Lin Mengya to almost go after the person.

She was really something else.

“Oh yes, have you reported this to the governor?” asked Lin Mengya, as she took over the cup of warm water.

Qiu Yu was dumbfounded as he did not know how to answer her.

“We need to report this kind of matter to the magistrate. You are an imperial physician while Long Tianyu is a prince. Even the highest official in this border town would not get to meet people like you two in their entire life. I’m making sure this flower thief be caught no matter what!”

It would not be enough to behead this scum who violated girls for a hundred times.

However, a worried look appeared on Qiu Yu’s face.

“If I report this to the magistrate, Long Tianyu’s identity and mine would be exposed. By then, wouldn’t the things we’ve been doing go to waste?”

Lin Mengya sneered and said, “Humph, do you really think he is just a flower thief? There are at least over a hundred girls in the town if not over a thousand. This person did not go to those girls, but me. It showed that his background is not that simple.”

Qiu Yu and Long Tianyu would understand such reasoning.

However, what came to their mind first was that Lin Mengya had almost been violated.

If the person taking a bath in the room was not Princess Yu but the Young Master Yuan in the eyes of the other people, the real intention of that flower thief would be very suspicious.

Perhaps the person was a pervert with strange likings. Perhaps he had lost his interest when he realized that Lin Mengya was in fact a woman.

The only explanation was that this man did know Lin Mengya’s real identity!

When Qiu Yu thought of this possibility, he realized why Long Tianyu rather put him in charge of safeguarding Lin Mengya and went after that man instead.

Perhaps their whereabouts had been exposed long ago.

In other words, neither the group of businessmen nor Lin Mengya was safe now.

In fact, there was another possibility, although the likelihood was very slim.

“I’m going to report to the magistrate now. Baishao, take care of your master.”

Wearing a severe expression on his face, Qiu Yu left in a hurry to Square Town’s government office in feudal.

Lin Mengya looked at the water in the cup and sighed, then suddenly she said softly, “Come out now, there’re no other people here. Unless you don’t even want to see me.”

Baishao looked around suspiciously when she heard Lin Mengya’s words.

Were there not only her master and herself in this room? There was no one else, right?

Finally, after some time, a white figure flipped in through the window quietly.

Her martial skill was as neat and clean-cut as before.

However, there was a hint of fear and hesitation on that pretty face. After giving Lin Mengya one look, she looked down.

“Baisu, how is it you are here? Where have you been? We’ve been so worried about you!”

Baishao was obviously pleasantly surprised to see Baisu. She did not expect that the person who came into the room so suddenly was none other than her good sister whom they missed.

However, even Baishao could sense the distancing as well as the coldness between Baisu and Lin Mengya.

Baishao felt hardpressed between a good sister and her beloved master. She was at a loss of what to do.

Gritting her teeth, Baishao gazed at them with a worried look, then she turned and left the room, closing the door quietly behind her.

“Master, I...”

Baisu spoke with a soft, quivering voice.

Lin Mengya gave her a cold look. There was no longer any warm emotion towards Baisu.

“I’m no longer your master. What is it that you want, appearing before me this time? Are you carrying out someone’s order to execute the plan to murder the emperor of Dajin. You can go back to whoever that is and tell him on my behalf that as long as Lin Mengya is still around, no one would be able to bring harm upon the emperor of Dajin.”

There was no emotion in Lin Mengya’s tone of voice. In fact, the coldness in her voice cut into Baisu’s heart.

Tears kept dropping down onto the brown-red wooden planks on the floor and they made marks on it.

Baisu kept silent and did not even dare to lift up her head.

She kowtowed three times to Lin Mengya forcefully. Thereafter, she turned and went out through the window.

“Alas...”

After a long time, Lin Mengya finally sighed and shook her head helplessly.

Lin Mengya did not really misjudge Baisu. Unfortunately, everyone has his own aspirations. Since she had failed to change Baisu’s mind and help her put down what was troubling her, Lin Mengya had no choice but to cut off their relationship as master and servant.

This was the only way both Baisu and she could break free from the sisterly bond they used to share.

She sincerely wished that Baisu would take care of herself and live well.

“What? Where’s she? Master, where’s Baisu?”

Baishao had returned to the room, filled with joy, carrying some snacks.

However, there was no sign of Baisu at this moment.

Lin Mengya was left alone in the room, sitting on the bed and frowning. What was she thinking?

“She’s gone back. In the future, she won’t be appearing before us ever again.”

Baishao did not understand why Lin Mengya said so. Ever since her master left the palace, she had stopped mentioning Baisu. Baishao could not fathom why they had come to this.

“When I first came to the mansion, you told us that the four of us would be as intimate as blood sisters. Within the past half a year, we had indeed treated each other like real sisters. If Baisu really committed a mistake, would you please forgive us for our sake and allow her to come back?”

Baishao had spoken the minds of the other two maidservants.

They had been through thick and thin together. They were definitely able to tell who was sincere and who was hypocritical.

However, Baishao was not aware that it was not that Lin Mengya was heartless that she did not want to let Baisu come back to them.

The situation was ever-changing. Given that Baisu’s identity had been found out. If Baisu were to come back to her at this moment, she would not be confident that she would be able to protect Baisu.

“You may excuse yourself for now. I want to have some time to think.”

Tears welled up in Baishao’s eyes.

All she could do was put down whatever she was holding and leave the room quietly.

Lin Mengya could feel a headache coming on. She reached out her fingers to massage her glabella.

Because of Baisu’s appearance here, Lin Mengya could tell that the forces in Lieyun ought to have found out of her whereabouts.

She had not even settled those people in Dajin who were eyeing on her, and now, the forces from the Lieyun Empire was closing in.

The situation was getting more complicated.

In reality, she dared not hope that she could keep her trip to search for the medicine a secret for long.

However, she did not expect them to find out so soon. Initially, she thought these people would only catch up with her only after she left the boundaries of her country.

By then they would have passed the deep valley and they would have gained more time.

However, it looked like their journey ahead was full of dangers. Even she did not know what to expect.

Lin Mengya was beginning to feel the frustration due to the heavy pressure on her.

She stood by the window and looked down at the street scene. She had only intended to breathe in some fresh air when she spotted a familiar figure in the streets below.

Strange, why was she here?

Walking on the street below the window was Xiu, who was adorned in Lieyun’s traditional costume. She seemed to be taking a casual stroll.

Lin Mengya was about to call out to her when she sensed something amiss.

Xiu seemed to be walking with an overly rigid posture. When she tried to turn around, it was not just her neck that turned, but her entire body also turned along with it.

Lin Mengya took a close look at indeed, her limbs were moving in an uncoordinated manner.

Her arms and legs were moving in a bizarre way as she walked.

Lin Mengya could feel the hairs on her body stood from the sight of Xiu. Actually, common people would not be able to tell the difference.

However, for an experienced physician like her, she was able to see what was abnormal about Xiu’s movements.

She looked as if she was a puppet whose arms and legs were controlled by invisible threads. The stiffness in her limbs as she walked was definitely abnormal for a human.

Lin Mengya continued to watch patiently from her vantage point, instead of going after Xiu.

It was because Xiu seemed to be purposely walking to and fro on this street. If she guessed correctly, someone was trying to use Xiu as the bait to get someone hooked.

As Lin Mengya expected, she saw a shadow trailing Xiu as she was turning into another street.

After a while, she saw another two shadowy figures followed suit.

Lin Mengya knew she could not wait any longer. She tidied her hair and after pondering for a second, she carried with her the poison for self-defense before she quietly descended the stairs in the inn. Without causing any alarm, she followed the trail of Xiu.

Cautiously, she turned into the other street after making sure that there was no one suspicious around her.

It was then that she realized it was a dead end.

How was that possible? Those three people who followed Xiu into the street were nowhere to be found?

Lin Mengya immediately went back onto the main street and pretended to be a passerby as she turned into the next lane.

As she walked, she began to think.

There was not even a gate leading up to houses in that street with a dead end.

Moreover, she did not take very long to get down there. Why were there no signs of those people?

Perhaps there was some kind of mechanism at the dead end. If that was the case, there had to be someone watching and guarding around there secretly.

Therefore, she should never be rash in her actions.

She went walking for one big round thinking about this and given her sensitive nature, Lin Mengya could sense someone following her.

Apparently, she had attracted someone’s attention when she carelessly entered the street with the dead end.
