Chapter 537 Stir up Trouble
Once Lin ngya associated the incident with Bloody Mary, she beca reticent.
Lin ngya would not have made such a ntal connection if not for Xiu’s comnt on Sui’s pale countenance and the subtle scent of blood on her body that could not be detected by common people.
Moreover, from the ti Xiu was abducted, the events that followed seed to be connected to each other.
Lin ngya could almost see a long dark chain connecting them.
Be it when they t the groups of businessn along the way or when they t with those pursuing their lives, or even the bandits who captured Long Tianyu and gave him the Immortal Powder.
At this mont, Lin ngya was certain that these people were accomplices with each other.
Even when Sui was only a chess piece, they were able to fully exploit her.
What more those girls whom they had invested and grood so ticulously?
Lin ngya could hardly imagine how those girls had been grood using such a twisted thod.
Perhaps every one of them would beco a weapon that created much trouble, just like Qinghu.
“Unfortunately, we’re being trapped here for now and it’s hard for us to turn the situation around. If we can get out of here, those people would not dare to be so audacious.”
Zuo Qiuyu sighed with regret, not knowing that his words served as a reminder to Lin ngya and Long Tianyu.
True, they had been trapped here not rely because the elders of the Pavilion of Herbs wanted to make things difficult for Zuo Qiuyu so that he would lose the qualification to succeed the Chief Elder.
More importantly, without their obstruction, those people creating trouble in the old capital beca even more savage.
“So I see. They had been calculating and expecting a favorable outco. Say no more. It was all because those people were backing up Nan Rui and his gang so much so that they had the audacity to lay their hands on the Chief Elder and Mr. Yuan. Snort, I suppose they were not only trying to overturn the Pavilion of Herbs.”
Lin ngya’s expression was cold as she snorted. However, there was no anxiety in her eyes.
“Let’s get out quickly, lest the situation changes for the worse if we delay.”
Long Tianyu said with a deep voice. He always had a premonition of what was going to happen.
While the old capital appeared to be restful as of now, there were dark and unknown undercurrents that might whip up a huge storm.
“There’s no need to do that. There will naturally be soone outside who would act. Let’s not get too anxious. Since we’ve already entered here, we have to check on them. Otherwise, those old bastards will beco very complacent.”
When they saw that Lin ngya appeared to have a well-thought-out plan, Long Tianyu and Zuo Qiuyu were rather puzzled.
Lin ngya had not asked for any manpower and she barely left her accommodation when they were out and about.
From her tone, they could tell that she ought to have secretly planted one of her agents among them.
How strange! When did this lass do that?”
“Alright, stop your wild guessing. The answer to the riddle will be revealed in due ti. Whoever tries to play gas with will suffer sooner or later. We have been enjoying such quiet tis for days and it’s ti for so excitent. Xiu, can you do a favor?”
Xiu, who deed herself as rather useless, hated herself for not sending n to follow those guys.
She was therefore elated when she heard the princess’s request for a favor.
“Rest assured, Elder Sister. I’ll complete the task perfectly!”
Xiu beat her chest as a guarantee and Lin ngya responded with a gentle smile. Thereafter, she whispered sothing into Xiu’s ear.
Xiu’s eyes darted and her lips curled up into an evil smile.
“No problem, I assure you I’ll complete the mission!”
Xiu blinked at Lin ngya, indicating that only the two of them understood each other.
Lin ngya looked on as Xiu exited the room in a few quick steps and she narrowed her eyes.
“What sche are you planning now?”
It should be noted that even Zuo Qiuyu and Long Tianyu felt the creeps when they see Lin ngya smiling in this way.
This lass always had sothing up her sleeve. They would be thankful if she behaved herself on normal days.
Once she stirred up a commotion, the entire Pavilion of Herbs would be turned upside down.
“Just watch. Xiu will complete the mission beautifully. Rest assured that in a while, they will treat us like honorable guests.”
As Lin ngya spoke with conviction, Zuo Qiuyu and Long Tianyu exchanged looks and wondered what she was up to again.
Xiu had just left and soon, a cry of agony echoed from outside.
If they guessed correctly, the voice ca from the disciples guarding outside the entrance.
In an unhurried manner, Lin ngya led Long Tianyu and Zuo Qiuyu to the spot where the incident happened.
At this mont, an innocent-looking Xiu was confronting a group of disciples outside the entrance.
Sitting on her delicate hands was a purple poisonous scorpion. It stayed very still on her hand.
At Xiu’s feet were lying two disciples who appeared to have fainted.
“Don’t co closer. My scorpion is still hungry.”
When Xiu opened her mouth, her bright and crispy voice seed to penetrate their ears.
Lin ngya observed that many people standing outside had their legs turned to jelly.
She could easily tell that they were pretending to be brave.
How cowardly! rely a scorpion had frightened them so badly. Although the scorpion was venomous and a sting from it would prove fatal.
Nevertheless, they had lost a man’s dignity by appearing so terrified.
“What trouble have you created again, Xiu?”
Lin ngya put away the gloating look in her eyes. She pretended to have co late and began scolding Xiu.
“You’ve wronged , Elder Sister. I’m only trying to look for so food for my scorpion, but these two n outside outrightly refused to let out. All I could do was to feed them to the scorpion.”
Xiu replied, appearing all innocent, but the scorpion in her hands appeared to have perked up. It looked like it was ready to sting those n any minute.
In that instant, those useless disciples retreated one big step.
“Oh, I see. You’re right. The scorpion would starve to death if you don’t feed it. We can’t get out of this place anyway. How about we feed whoever is guarding our entrance to your scorpion, so we’re using the resources we have right here? Dear brothers, who will be next?”
Lin ngya’s smile blossod like a flower. Together with Xiu’s innocence and loveliness, the two beautiful ladies looked as terrifying as the King of Hell to them.
Not to ntion who would court death by coming forward, whoever took a step forward would be like participating in so kind of daredevil ga.
Sigh, none of these weaklings dared step forward.
Xiu pretended to take a step closer to them and these useless n got a fright imdiately.
Instantly, a few of the n who were more quick-witted quietly fled. They must have gone to look for soone who could make decisions.
“Er... er... Your Highness, this matter had nothing to do with the disciples. We were rely acting under orders. Please calm down and be angry no more. Please ask this lady to keep her scorpion. Let’s talk over the matter.”
A young man, who appeared to hold a higher position, was chosen by the others to negotiate terms with Lin ngya.
Looking at the young man, Lin ngya knew he had been pushed to be the sacrifice.
Xiu eventually kept the scorpion, but still, no one dared co within a five-ter radius of the four of them.
Finally, the five elders of the Pavilion of Herbs were spotted hurrying in this direction not too long after.
They were still adorned with the white ceremonial costu especially worn by the people in the Pavilion of Herbs. Lin ngya supposed the competition had just ended and they had rushed over after hearing the report from their disciples. They were in such a hurry that they did not have ti to get changed.
“Greetings to the elders.”
When the disciples saw that the decision-makers had arrived, they were overjoyed and their confidence was boosted.
They had broken out in cold sweat a mont ago, being frightened by Lin ngya, but now they felt much more relieved.
However, the elders were crest-fallen.
Even Chang Tianhua looked downcast and this made Lin ngya wonder. Could it be that all five of them failed in this round of tests?
This was getting really interesting.
“What’s the commotion? Why are you not at your posting and had co running here?”
Qian Yuming scolded as usual. After the incident with Du Zhong, his disciples had learned to be smarter. They had all prepared a way of escape for themselves.
After all, what if one of them got singled out to be the scapegoat like Du Zhong. It would be so not worthwhile to die a wrongful death.
Therefore, not many were left who were not the disciples of the Qian family.
For this reason, Qian Yuming began resenting the other elders. Of course the people he hated most were Lin ngya and her company.
“Elder Qian, it’s... it’s because Her Highness, the princes found it inconvenient being forbidden to leave her courtyard, so, so she...”
The young man, who was responsible for negotiating with Lin ngya spoke, sounding like he had been put into a tight spot.
Qian Yuming looked ruthlessly at the two disciples who had collapsed at the entrance and a gloating look flashed across his eyes.
“Elder Nan, aren’t those your disciples? If they had been savagely killed, you must avenge them.”
In an instant, a cunning Elder Qian had thrown the ball over to Nan Rui’s court.
However, to their surprise, Nan Rui was not anxious at all. On the other hand, he looked at Lin ngya and said, “You must be joking, Your Highness. They had rely fainted. It was my fault for not teaching my disciples properly. Please forgive , Your Highness.”
Despite hearing that Nan Rui had hit the na on its head, Lin ngya was not provoked.
She smiled elegantly and gazed directly at Nan Rui with no guilt whatsoever.
“Elder Nan was indeed very observant. These two n had rely fainted. However, they are not to be blad. My honored guest had offended you. However, we ask for an account and explanation for locking us up here because of what happened to Du Zhong. Even the emperor could not imprison us as and when he likes. Are you trying to set up an illegal court to judge us?”
Lin ngya’s eyes sharpened, as well as the tone of her voice.
