Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 731 Get away from the Town

Therefore, it was the shortest way out of this town.

However, why was the temple for the Mountain Deity, that is supposed to protect the village, built here? Lin Mengya was puzzled.

At this moment, covering their tracks was no longer the top priority.

“After passing the temple for the Mountain Deity, we will soon arrive at the highway,” Qinghu told Lin Mengya about the current situation in a low voice, while looking around alertly.

He could even notice the slightest noise.

“Be careful. There is something strange about the temple for the Mountain Deity,” Lin Mengya said.

She had no time to attend to what was going on in the temple for the Mountain Deity.

She hoped those the Candle Dragon Cult sent to lie in ambush here did not recognize them and just regarded them as businessmen, who passed here and tried to meddle in the residents’ business.

As the carriage drew closer to the temple for the Mountain Deity, even Lin Mengya felt her heart was in her mouth.

Opening the window slightly, she watched the temple for the Mountain Deity gradually getting closer.

In the darkness, the outline of the temple with flickering candlelight became increasingly clear.

Lin Mengya did not dare to poke her head through the window, so she only saw that it was a small temple built down the hillside with a statue right behind the hall.

From a distance, Lin Mengya could not see clearly what the statue looked like.

But she vaguely saw that it looked like the Goddess of Mercy.

Given the residents’ financial and material resources, such a statue was supposed to be completed by a few generations of residents.

Unexpectedly, it was used by the Candle Dragon Cult to intimidate the residents.

Lin Mengya thought it a pity. She took Master Yunfang’s relic out of her purse, put it on her palms, and devoutly prayed with her palms together.

If the Mountain Deity, who had once protected the villagers, really existed, Lin Mengya hoped that she could open her eyes and see what her temple was used for now.

After praying, Lin Mengya put Master Yunfang’s relic back into her purse.

If they managed to escape, Qinghu would definitely send someone to report what had happened here to the nearest county government.

Nevertheless, without conclusive evidence, the officers of the county government might not believe their words.

Probably because they reacted in time or because the Mountain Deity really heard her pray, the caravan cautiously passed by the temple for the Mountain Deity without attracting any attention.

Lin Mengya, who had held her breath, finally felt relieved after all of them passed by the temple safely.

After leaving the temple for the Mountain Deity, they began to spur away desperately.

Qinghu supposed the temple should be the Candle Dragon Cult’s sentry post, where all those, who tried to get out of here, would be watched.

But they were extremely lucky today. While those people were taking a nap or passing work on to the next shift, they left smoothly!

Up to now, Qinghu still found it difficult to believe that they passed this barrier so easily.

The caravan traveled for a long time, and they did not completely get away from the town until dawn.

“Fortunately, we managed to leave. if I hadn’t noticed something unusual and told everyone to leave as soon as possible, we would have been discovered by them,” Qinghu said.

After they got through the crisis, his face softened a lot, and he was in the mood to joke with Lin Mengya and brag about how brilliant he was.

“What on earth did you see so that you told us to leave after you came back?” Lin Mengya asked.

She, who had remained silent most of the night, had a lot of doubts.

Qinghu had always acted quickly and finished his task promptly.

But this time, he came back late without giving any explanation and left behind a lot of things.

If it were not for the plan B Qinghu habitually prepared, they might not have been able to leave so quickly.

“In fact, I went to the temple for the Mountain Deity. After seeing the murderer in the Wang Family, my two subordinates followed him all the way there. I thought it was just a base of a group of bandits, but I didn’t expect to see a core member of the Candle Dragon Cult there,” Qinghu said.

The fear in his eyes made Lin Mengya nervous.

It was said that the core members of the Candle Dragon Cult were capable in plenty of things.

Otherwise, they would not have been able to earn a place in the Candle Dragon Cult, where numerous masters gathered.

It was said that back then, Qinghu was just a middle-level core member of the Candle Dragon Cult rather than an elite.

Moreover, they were subordinate to the elders and the head, who must be incredibly capable!

“I see. But this town is small. What brought the core member of the Candle Dragon Cult here?” Lin Mengya asked curiously.

If a core member or even an elder visited the Capital City, she would not be surprised at it.

However, this town was so small. If it were not for the fact that they could save more than half the time by taking this path, she and Qinghu would not have come here.

“I have no idea. I only know that he is a member of the Blood Hall. The Candle Dragon Cult has been collecting some extremely strange and bloody things all along. The method of bathing in blood you encountered in the Nation of Lintian last time was developed by the Blood Hall. Although the head relies heavily on them, the Blood Hall is very mysterious and no one knows what they have been doing,” Qinghu said.

As he revealed more information, Lin Mengya was increasingly aware that the Candle Dragon Cult was a mysterious place with an elusive head, a school specially collecting bloody stuff, as well as the method of bathing in blood, that had terrified her.

All of these made her shiver.

What exactly was this huge monster up to?

As the day began to break, the caravan slowed down.

Everyone took off the cotton cloth from the hooves of the horses, and Lin Mengya finally had the chance to go outside for a walk.

After Qinghu carried her out of the carriage, she stood steadily on the ground with her hand on the carriage.

Hou Yuetian, who came to say hello, stared at her, who was walking slowly, in astonishment.

“You… you can walk?” He asked.

Seeing the astonished look in his eyes, Lin Mengya nodded helplessly.

Although the deterioration of her physical functions had a great impact on her capability of walking and jumping indeed, it did not mean that she could not walk at all.

Thanks to Baili Rui’s detoxifying pills and Qinghu’s unremitting efforts, she could move her legs slightly every day.

Although it only lasted for a short time, she was pleased.

At least she didn’t have to worry that she would suffer muscular dystrophy after sitting in the wheelchair for long.

“Of course I can. I just sit in the wheelchair every day because I’m weak. You don’t have to feel surprised. Anyone could be weak sometime.” As Lin Mengya said, she rolled her eyes at Hou Yuetian and continued walking cautiously with her hand on the carriage.

Lin Mengya felt a little helpless about this.

Qinghu’s overprotection for her along the way gave her the experience as a disabled person.

To be honest, she did not feel uncomfortable about the difficulty in walking.

However, the sympathizing or regretful gazes from others made her feel a little helpless.

When she watched news programs in modern times, she saw many disabled people were more flexible than her, a healthy person, and even capable of doing some things out of her reach.

There were some things that even a complete person like her could not do.

From that moment on, she was aware that although they were physically disabled, they were even sounder in mind than she was.

Now when she was in a similar situation, she realized that they would rather be regarded as healthy people than be sympathized by others.

At least in this way, she would feel like a useless person.

“You are so weak. Have you come up with any good methods to nurse your body back to health? If you need any precious medicinal materials, just tell me. I will offer you whatever I can get in the Nation of Dongxia,” Hou Yuetian said.

There was somehow a flash of joy in his eyes in that instant.

Lin Mengya did not pursue it further, thinking perhaps it was because he thought he finally found a way to repay her, his lifesaver.

Shaking her head, Lin Mengya helplessly realized that she sweated profusely after walking for a while.

Rehabilitation seemed to be quite a challenge.

“My sister has no lack of precious medicinal materials, and she can get all kinds of medicinal materials. I don’t think there are precious medicinal materials in your country. If you want to please her, please find a decent excuse,” Qinghu gave Hou Yuetian a hard look and said.

Obviously, he was rather dissatisfied with Hou Yuetian because of what Hou Yuetian had done.

There was nothing Lin Mengya could do about it.

Hou Yuetian could only blame himself for doing the thing Qinghu hated the most.

Although Ling Ye just won by a narrow margin when exchanging blows with Qinghu, Qinghu kept fighting with him until Qinghu managed to defeat him.

Now that Hou Yuetian dared to threaten Qinghu, Qinghu would probably be hard on him for the rest of his life.

“Don’t worry too much. In fact, my illness can be cured. This time, my brother took me out in search of famous doctors. Fortunately, there is a famous doctor capable of curing my illness, and I just need to go to the Nation of Dongxia to get a medicinal material. I really have to trouble you after we arrive at the Nation of Dongxia,” Lin Mengya said as she sat down in the wheelchair.

In fact, she could guess what Hou Yuetian had used to threaten Qinghu.

Qinghu, who had keen eye, definitely could tell Hou Yuetian was extraordinary.

Hou Yuetian presumably promised to lend them a helping hand in the Nation of Dongxia so that Qinghu reluctantly allowed him and his company to travel with them.

When Hou Yuetian heard Miss Su’s words, he felt his face burning, looked at her apologetically and said, “I acted abruptly back then indeed. Please forgive me, Miss Su, Brother Su.”

Their conversation was implicit.

Lin Mengya nodded with a smile. Since they had decided to travel together, at least they should make this clear.
