Chapter 972 Anxious to Take Revenge

Qinghu did not dare to delay. He immediately went out to find someone to send a message to his men in the Capital City.

Lin Mengya stared at the secret letter in her hand. It did not have any symbol of the Candle Dragon Cult on it, but it was delivered to her successfully.

No matter what was written on it was true or false, she could not treat it lightly.

Qinghu took quick action and soon found a suitable candidate to deliver the message of protecting Moyan.

When he returned to the carriage, he saw that Lin Mengya’s expression was a little solemn.

“Mengya, don’t think wildly. I am sure that Long Tianyu will take Moyan to the Imperial Palace to raise him. By that time, no one will dare to hurt him.”

This letter was strange, but the sender should have known that it would not affect the overall situation, so he only reminded Lin Mengya and Qinghu to guard against it carefully in his letter.

Since the sender could hide it from the people of the Candle Dragon Cult and send the letter to her successfully, it proved that he was at least a person of skill.

The sender would not send such a message for no reason. Therefore, Lin Mengya and Qinghu immediately thought that the contents of the letter were probably true.

“If what was mentioned in the letter is true, I’m afraid the Candle Dragon Cult will take Moyan to Lieyun whatever it takes,” Lin Mengya said.

On the beige letter paper, the handwriting was something she had no impression of at all, and there was only one line of words.

“The secret hidden by the leader was on Moyan. Guard him. Watch out for your old friend.”

Lin Mengya knew every word written in the secret letter, but when all words were combined, it became one of the most difficult problems in the world to solve.

Lin Mengya could not figure it out, so she had to hide this secret letter for the time being.

However, who was her “old friend”? She had made a lot of enemies before. She was afraid that every member of the Candle Dragon Cult could be used together.

She would not be at ease unless Moyan was sent to the Imperial Palace.

“What on earth is the leader’s secret?”

The more she learned about the mysterious leader, the more Lin Mengya felt that she had more and more doubts.

The sense of danger that she got from the leader of the Candle Dragon Cult was even more than that from the entire Candle Dragon Cult.

The evening was coming. The carriage stopped running, and the group started another round of rest.

To prevent the information from being leaked, they had camped in the wild most of the time over these days.

They set up a campfire to prevent the beasts from disturbing the group. Lin Mengya lay alone in the carriage, but she could not sleep well, no matter what.

“What exactly is the leader’s secret?”

While she was thinking wildly, she heard someone knock on the carriage door outside.

Baisu had gone to the place where they had prepared to meet them in advance. In the past few days, except for Qinghu, no one was allowed to get close to her carriage, especially late at night.

Lin Mengya cautiously poked half of her head out. To her surprise, it was Shi Bupo who was standing outside her carriage.

He was putting on a smiling face and looking at Lin Mengya with admiration.

Lin Mengya did not feel relieved until then. “This guy is like a piece of sticky candy. He is too stubborn to be persuaded.”

He had pestered and annoyed Qinghu so much before that Qinghu had wished to punch him to death.

Now, he turned his attention to Lin Mengya. Lin Mengya kept touching various poisons in her arms.

“Shall I make him be a real dumb with my poison this time?”

“The most powerful Hall Master, I wonder when it is convenient for you to teach me the poison-refining skills?”

Lin Mengya had to hear this sentence at least dozens of times a day.

As a result, Xu Shan and Qinghu had to strictly forbid Shi Bupo from getting close to Lin Mengya’s carriage.

Lin Mengya rolled her eyes at Shi Bupo. How could she respond to the expectation of an idiot who could not even recognize the medical herbs?

“Have you finished reading the medical book that I gave you yesterday?”

Shi Bupo scratched his head in embarrassment, with his eyes a little evasive.

“Well… that lousy medical book is not worth reading.”

“So, you haven’t read it, have you? Well, I have nothing to say to you. Whether it’s about medicine or poisons, you have to learn little by little and accumulate the knowledge to succeed. You can’t even distinguish the efficacy of the medicine yet. I’m afraid that in the future, you will be poisoned yourself before you can poison others. Come back to me when you understand the medical book I gave you. Otherwise, I’ll ask Xu Shan to break your legs.”

During this period of getting along with each other, she found that Shi Bupo quite enjoyed being treated badly.

If Lin Mengya tried to reason with him, he would pester her endlessly. But if she beat him up, he would become the most obedient subordinate in the world.

Although Lin Mengya could vent her anger at Shi Bupo along the way, she felt very tired of getting along with such a person.

Seeing that Lin Mengya was going to sit back in her carriage, Shi Bupo immediately grabbed the curtain tightly, with a pitiful look.

“Don’t go to sleep, please. Dear Hall Master, just give me a few poisons, okay? You are so good at poisoning skills that you can kill people invisibly. I do worship you, and I can swear to the sun, the moon, and the vast lands in the world!”

“Again?” Lin Mengya did not bother to respond to him.

She lay back in the carriage and let Shi Bupo, who did not give up, plead outside the carriage.

After a while, Lin Mengya asked, “Shi Bupo, why do you insist on learning the killing skills? Besides, you want to learn cruel skills. Are you going to take revenge on someone?”

The glow of fire around the carriage was a little dim. Lin Mengya only saw the coldness in Shi Bupo’s bright eyes.

Shi Bupo smiled, still looking cynical as usual, and his tone was also as relaxed as before.

“Of course, the purpose of learning killing skills is to kill people. Hall Master, do you have an enemy whom you want to kill whatever it takes?”

His murderous intent was so strong that Lin Mengya could feel a frightening murderous intent from his eyes, even though she did not know much about martial arts.

Subconsciously, Lin Mengya tightly covered herself with the quilt. Qinghu had told her that Shi Bupo had a good family background and that he had been living a smooth life until now.

Why did such a person have such a strong hatred?

“I do have such enemies, but I know that they will all die in my hands in the end. So I don’t have to worry or be anxious.”

Lin Mengya pondered for a moment before answering Shi Bupo’s question.

Looking at Lin Mengya who became serious, Shi Bupo smiled again. He then turned around and sat on the shaft of the carriage, staring blankly at the cold moonlight outside.

“I have to learn the most powerful killing skills in the world as soon as possible. It’s because my enemy is about to die. I don’t have much time, so I can’t waste it on practicing other martial arts.”

There was a thin curtain between them. Perhaps it was the seriousness in Shi Bupo’s tone that aroused Lin Mengya’s complex thoughts.

After a long silence between them, Lin Mengya finally spoke.

“I see. It seems that you do hate him. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have wanted to end his life in person, right?”

There were thousands of types of love in the world, but hatreds were more than love.

However, it was not a good thing that he had such a strong hatred and even wanted to turn his hatred into motivation to be alive.

Hatred would dissipate one day, but sometimes a person’s life span would be longer.

What could be used to fill the rest of his days if he had no more hatred?

“Yes, I hate him. If it weren’t for him, I might have died a long time ago.”

Shi Bupo said in a self-mocking tone, but Lin Mengya was confused for a moment.

It seemed that Shi Bupo had restrained himself for a long time, or maybe it was because he could not achieve his goal unless using Lin Mengya’s poisoning skills.

In short, whatever the reason was, Shi Bupo slowly told Lin Mengya about the hatred that supported him to be alive.

“He’s my adoptive father. Without him, I might have died with my parents together when I was six. He saved me and changed my name. He indulged me and even spoiled me. But since I was a child, I have wanted to kill him with my hands in each day. Haha, I am a beast, a beast who bites the hand that feeds me!”

Lin Mengya did not interrupt because she had experienced too many things.

Reality might not necessarily be what they were seeing right now. There were some things that even the person involved might not be able to figure out.

“Hall Master, since you’ve known my purpose, will you teach me the poisoning skills?”

Leaning against the door of the carriage, Shi Bupo looked a little sad.

Lin Mengya thought for a while and then said slowly.

“I’ll continue to teach you if you can learn.”

Some things really required talent. Based on Shi Bupo’s current situation, it would be extremely difficult for him to become a master of poisons.

“Why?”

Shi Bupo’s tone was full of confusion, and Lin Mengya explained in a low voice.

“Whether poisoning skills or killing skills, they are just tools in your hands. It depends on your heart whether you want to take revenge or not. If you want to, you can make it without a tool. If you don’t want to, even if you have sharp weapons in your hands, you won’t hurt anyone else at all. Am I right?”

Shi Bupo suddenly laughed out, with unspeakable bitterness in his laughter.

“No wonder everyone says that you’re smart. You deserve it. Yeah, for him, I am like a knife against his neck. No matter how good he treats me, it’s all for his ulterior purpose! Hall Master, I’ve changed my mind. If possible, can you kill him for me?”

Lin Mengya was a little confused. She understood what Shi Bupo meant, but she wondered why Shi Bupo, who had just claimed to kill his adoptive father in person, now entrusted this matter to her.

“If you ask me for help, you’ll have to pay me a lot of money.”

It was rare for Lin Mengya to make a joke. In fact, she just thought that Shi Bupo looked a little ridiculous.

As for revenge, with Shi Bupo’s current strength, he could do it himself with just a thought.

Moreover, she had not known who was his adoptive father as Shi Bupo mentioned.

In case, that was a powerful person, she would be at a disadvantage, wouldn’t she?

“No problem. I can pay any price, as long as you can help me kill him. So, would you like to consider it?”

Lin Mengya yawned and pulled the quilt up a little.

“Well, let’s talk about it after I think it over. Now, please get out of here. I’m going to sleep.”

Soon, the sound of Shi Bupo falling to the ground was heard.

“Okay, I’ve gotten out of here. Please have a good rest.”

Shi Bupo was as frivolous as before. However, Lin Mengya had a different feeling when she heard him.
