As such, Lin Mengya could see through most people’s disguises unless they completely changed the habit of using their muscles.

Baique seemed to be indifferent, but her eyes lit up.

Lin Mengya was aware that she seemed to be indifferent, but in fact, she would definitely put in a lot of effort to fix her deficiency.

Lin Mengya believed that Baique would probably manage to deceive her next time.

“Qingyuan County, which is in charge of Niuxin Town, is not far away. After arriving there, I will strike the drum to lodge a complaint. Miss Lin, I appreciate your involvement in this matter a lot. If it were not for your involvement, I’m afraid my baby and I would not even have been able to get out of town,” Baique said.

Perhaps she could even sacrifice her life for her mission.

But at this moment, Lin Mengya could see sincere gratitude in her eyes.

“That’s great. But please promise me one thing: Don’t tell anyone other than your chief about our whereabouts. Believe me, it’s good for you,” Lin Mengya said.

Although Baique had disguised herself as an old man in an attempt to lure them to the temple for the Mountain Deity, Lin Mengya believed that she probably just intended to get them involved in the matter.

Lin Mengya was in no mood to find out who the chief she mentioned was.

After all, there were too many forces, that were neither enemies nor friends, around her. It would be a waste of time to exclude them one by one.

As such, she would rather ask Baique for this favor in return now.

Baique’s chief presumably would be fine with it.

“Okay. Rest assured, Miss Lin. I’ll do as you ask. Our chief asked me to tell you one thing: You may get into trouble because of the thing in your hands. You may be the Candle Dragon Cult’s next target soon, so you’d better go to the Lieyun State to hide for a period for the sake of your safety. Your sworn brother, who is in the Lieyun State, will get into trouble soon. Given your ability, you’d better go there and stay with him,” Baique said.

Hearing her words, Lin Mengya, who had been in awe of the chief just now, got gooseflesh at the moment.

It was unsurprising that the chief knew her identity and her relationship with Xiaoyu, and it was even possible for him to know Xiaoyu’s situation, but what exactly did it mean that “you may get into trouble because of the thing in your hands”?

Could it be that the chief Baique mentioned had been aware that she was actually in possession of the music score for green stringed instrument?

This… was absolutely impossible!

Now, even Long Tianyu and Qinghu were convinced of her usual claim.

But Baique seemed to be indicating that the chief and even the Candle Dragon Cult had been aware that she was in possession of a treasure.

If Baique was not talking about the music score for the green stringed instrument, she was in possession of nothing else that could attract the attention of the Candle Dragon Cult, wasn’t she?

Seeing that Lin Mengya sitting opposite her suddenly got lost in thought, Baique considerately stopped talking.

She just sat in the corner and stroked her belly, seeming to be appeasing the frightened fetus in her womb.

“I see. Please thank your chief for me. Nevertheless, Baique, I’m wondering if you know the specific situation of my sworn brother,” Lin Mengya asked.

It would come if it was doomed to come.

Since the day she knew the existence of the Candle Dragon Cult, she had been prepared for this.

At present, apart from her concern for her illness, she had hidden all those she cared about carefully.

Then she headed for the Nation of Dongxia, which attracted the attention.

Even if the Candle Dragon Cult intended to catch her, they had to send some members to the Nation of Dongxia.

She and Qinghu had been alone without a tie in the world.

It was best if the Candle Dragon Cult did not come to her, but she was not afraid at all if they did.

There was a look of surprise in Baique’s eyes when she saw that Lin Mengya returned to normal in such a short time.

However, after thinking for a while, Baique shook her head in trouble and said, “Our chief didn’t tell me about the specific situation, but only said that your sworn brother is of an extraordinary status in the Lieyun State, and plenty of people try to work against him, while plenty of people try to protect him. Our chief also said that your sworn brother needs your help most. Besides, our chief asked me to tell you that two quarrel and a third profits by it, so you may be able to help him if you go to the Lieyun State.”

Although Lin Mengya did not get the information she wanted from Baique, at least Lin Mengya was aware of one thing: Xiaoyu was in latent peril now, and the reason for this was obvious.

“I appreciate your chief’s advice, and I’ll keep his words in mind. I will certainly go to find Xiaoyu if I get a chance. Qingyuan County just lies ahead, and we are going to go our separate ways. Please take care of yourself,” Lin Mengya said.

Baique bowed to Lin Mengya with hands folded and raised in front of her face.

A moment later, Baique, who had been fearless, returned to a pitiful woman trembling in fear in an instant.

Lin Mengya hid the meaningful look in her eyes and looked at Baique in front of her with concern.

But both of them knew clearly that they had exchanged a lot of important information just now.

Qingyuan County was right in front of them. Qinghu dismounted to help the pregnant woman get out of the carriage.

As soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw Lin Mengya holding the pregnant woman’s hand and comforting her softly, “Don’t be afraid. Just tell the county magistrate what you saw and heard in the temple. As the official in charge of this county, he will definitely protect you.”

“Okay, I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you for saving my life, Miss. I’ll never forget it,” the young woman lowered her head meekly and said.

She, who had changed into Lin Mengya’s clothes, looked much demurer now.

Lin Mengya whispered something in her ear.

The pregnant woman nodded repeatedly with gratitude in her eyes.

“You are in an unstable condition. Fill this prescription and take the medicine. Rest assured, you can nurse your body back to health soon, and I promise you will give birth to a healthy baby,” Lin Mengya said softly.

When Baique heard this, her face lit up with expectation.

No matter how capable she was, she was a mother after all and hoped that her baby could grow up healthily.

Lin Mengya smiled and asked Qinghu to help Baique get off the carriage.

After stopping a cart heading for the county and giving the cart owner some instructions, Qinghu returned to Lin Mengya.

“We’ve done a great deed. If God knows, he will certainly appreciate it. In this way, you may have a better chance of surviving,” Qinghu, who was standing beside Lin Mengya, cracked a cunning smile and said.

“You’re truly as cunning as a fox. How dare you include God’s will in your calculation? Are you not afraid of being struck by lightning?” Lin Mengya said.

She had been used to Qinghu’s way of speaking.

After joking with Qinghu for a while, she looked away from Baique.

Perhaps she had done a great deed, but at the same time, she had gotten a lot of worries.

Nevertheless, as Qinghu said, no matter what happened, survival was her top priority at present.

After getting out of Qingyuan County, Lin Mengya and her company began to travel by water.

Although Qinghu got increasingly acquainted with Hou Yuetian, Qinghu’s loathing for him did not change at all.

While the two boats advanced side by side every day, Qinghu and Hou Yuetian bickered with each other.

Lin Mengya, who basked in the sun and felt warm, narrowed her eyes and glanced at Qinghu, who was having fun in bickering with Hou Yuetian, and thought with a gentle smile, “I really enjoy this kind of relaxing life.”

They spent another days on the way. Lin Mengya had learned her lesson.

Even when they passed by some prosperous places, she no longer asked them to stop for a while.

The first time they went ashore, they were stalked by Hou Yuetian.

The second time they went ashore, they even had a more thrilling experience. Not only did they learn the Candle Dragon Cult’s conspiracy, but she also was troubled by what Baique told her.

If she did not stay in her carriage obediently, she would probably get into bigger trouble.

She was incapable of fixing various problems, so she had better stay in her carriage obediently.

At least in this way, they could save some time.

Lin Mengya’s staying in her carriage enabled them to travel fast.

Finally, they managed to make up the time they had lost in Niuxin Town.

After traveling for more than half a month, Binhai City, a prosperous city on the water, appeared in front of them.

As soon as they arrived here, Lin Mengya showed a smile, because they would enter the Nation of Dongxia after crossing the water boundary of Binhai City.

But she was worried about one thing. It had been more than a month since she left the Capital City.

No matter how stupid Long Tianyu was, he must have realized that she had left.

Moreover, given his schemes and means, he had probably issued an order to search her to every port and border city, and he must have her portrait.

Although Qinghu said that he would disguise her, Lin Mengya was still worried.

If her disguise was seen through, wouldn’t all the efforts they had made to escape be in vain?

Besides, Lin Mengya pulled the oversized clothes Qinghu put on her and thought with dissatisfaction, “What the hell! Can’t he disguise me as a man?

“Why did Qinghu stuff my clothes with soft cotton?”

What was more, her legs were weak, but Qinghu put a pair of crutches made of wood under her clothes.

In this way, even if she walked on crutches, others would not suspect her and just think she staggered as she was too fat.
