Chapter 593 Making up a story
"no!"
Li Shisan was the first to object.
"Do you even know what kind of place that is? We just said that they sent the Holy Maiden to the royal city to continue their bloodline. How old are you? This is utterly reckless!"
Wen Qingqing nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right. How old are you? How can we let you go! Even if we really have to go, it should be me. I have the title of Little Fairy Doctor, so I can see what truly powerful Gu techniques are like. I'm still very curious about the bloodline theory."
"Then if you impersonate the Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang, you probably won't even be able to enter the royal city before you're exposed. At least I'm the real one, not an imposter!" Yin Yueling retorted defiantly.
“What use are you, you…” Wen Qingqing was about to speak when Lu Yangyang stopped her.
"Stop, stop, stop! Stop arguing!" Lu Yangyang looked at them helplessly: "Your ideas are not wrong, but our safety is the most important thing. There are only a few of us, let's discuss it first!"
The two immediately fell silent.
Lu Yangyang asked Yin Yueling, "What are you thinking?"
Yin Yueling gave an awkward hum: "I'm not doing anything reckless, I'm serious. It's precisely because I'm young that I can do things more easily. They definitely won't be willing to kill me, but they also won't let me go. So they can only keep me here for now. Then, won't I have a chance to see King Yuechuan? Even if I don't see him, I can still enter the royal city openly and might even be able to gather information for you! My identity is the best cover."
After she said that, the others understood what she meant.
If the royal city is searching for talented young girls to continue its bloodline, then in terms of talent, few can compare to Yin Yueling. Once she enters the royal city, the Yuechuan royal family will definitely not be willing to kill her. However, because she is young and not yet old enough to bear children, even for their own purposes, they will only keep Yin Yueling for the time being. This is a very good excuse.
"Furthermore, apart from the High Priest, no one knows me. Even if that prince and his accomplices manage to infiltrate the royal city, I can still evade their detection," Yin Yueling added.
Lu Yangyang nodded: "That's true."
The Crown Prince and his group had been to Miao territory. Li Shisan had met Xueyan before, so naturally he couldn't escape the Crown Prince's notice. Not to mention the others, only Wen Qingqing and Yin Yueling were unfamiliar faces.
However, with her identity as the Holy Maiden of Miao territory as a cover, Yin Yueling was the easiest to enter the royal city.
Yin Yueling said smugly, "I told you I wasn't messing around!"
Li Shisan said worriedly, "But you're all alone..."
“It’s safer to be alone; the more people there are, the more trouble it will cause.” Yin Yueling raised an eyebrow.
“Yue Ling is right. The more people we have in the royal city, the more trouble we’ll cause,” Lu Yangyang said.
Before Yin Yueling could even feel more smug, Lu Yangyang continued, "However, even so, unforeseen events can happen at any time. You still need to be careful. I know you're doing this for Miao territory, but we need to survive first before we can think of a solution. Otherwise, if we're inexplicably targeted and lose you, our plan still won't be completed."
Yin Yueling paused for a moment, then nodded: "I understand."
She has always been arrogant because she thinks she is powerful enough and doesn't take Yuechuan Kingdom seriously. She believes that if given the opportunity, she will be more powerful than them.
However, Lu Yangyang's words also make sense. If they were to be schemed against, it would not only affect their future plans, but she would also never become number one, which would be too much of a loss!
Seeing that she had listened, Lu Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief.
“I…” At this moment, Hua Rui suddenly spoke up, “I have a favor to ask.”
Several people looked at her.
Hua Rui hesitated for a moment, opening her mouth several times before finally making up her mind: "I want to go find my sister!"
Before the others could speak, she hurriedly explained, "I absolutely didn't mean to tell her about you, I, I just, I just..."
Seeing that her face was flushed with anxiety, Lu Yangyang interrupted her, "Take your time, we don't suspect you."
Hua Rui paused for a moment, then bit her lip and said softly, "I'll go find her. She might not completely believe me, but we're still sisters. She won't kill me anytime soon. If I go with them, even if I don't know their purpose, Miss Lu is so smart that she'll probably learn something from their actions. It's better than us having no news at all."
"Besides... they would never have guessed that I came with you."
"I also want to do something I can do, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
Hearing these words, Hua Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of her selfish actions, she caused the deaths of over a hundred people in Yuhua Village. She could never repay this debt, even if she died ten thousand times. She came to Yuechuan Kingdom to find Xueyan and ask her why she did what she did. She would not be able to die in peace until she got the answer.
The villagers of Yuhua Village had helped the sisters when they were young, and when their mother returned to Yuhua Village, the villagers took care of her and helped with her burial. The sisters should remember this kindness for the rest of their lives.
Yet they died so absurdly.
She couldn't accept it.
Lu Yangyang looked at her quietly, then nodded: "Okay."
Hua Rui nodded gratefully: "Thank you..."
Then he stood up and said solemnly, "I will do my best to help gather information, but just in case, I will not listen to your next plan."
After saying that, she got up and left the room.
After she left, Wen Qingqing asked softly, "Do you really believe her?"
Lu Yangyang said, "Whether I believe her or not is not important. If we don't let her go, she will only feel uneasy. Some answers she has to ask for herself."
"Even if she really told His Highness about our plans, he can't do anything about it now. We're all in the shadows anyway. As long as we keep our cool, he'll be the one having a hard time. I took Jiaojiao away, and that's enough to keep him guessing for a while. Now that Huarui has appeared, who knows how suspicious he'll become!"
Wen Qingqing's eyes widened: "Yangyang, I never knew you had such a cunning side!"
Then, with sparkling eyes, she asked, "So now the three of you have things to do, what about us?"
Li Shisan hurriedly replied, "Miss Lu, I will do my best to help with anything I can."
"Me too!" Sheng Yunjiao said urgently.
"What's the rush? Of course, we'll stick to what we do!" Lu Yangyang raised an eyebrow.
"Say it quickly!"
Lu Yangyang said, "These past few days, everyone in Yuechuan Kingdom has been rushing to the Holy Capital for the sacrificial ceremony. With so many people traveling, surely some must be sick? Let's set up a stall and treat people. With Jiaojiao here, there's no news we can't find out. But what we need to do is make up stories!"
