Chapter 800 The Witch Empress’s Celebration

The three of them walked out of the imperial palace naturally. Perhaps the downfall of the Empress caused a reshuffle of the forces in the imperial palace.

Madame Jingrou, of course, gained a dominating position, and others just sailed with the wind.

Lin Mengya, who had seen this a lot, naturally was not surprised.

The only advantage was that they did not have to get in and out of the imperial palace stealthily like before.

The inner capital city was not very lively.

It wasn’t until they arrived at the outer capital city that they realized it was bustling with noise and excitement.

The three of them held hands so that they were barely able to stay together in the crowd.

The streets were crowded with people enjoying the celebration. Even Lin Mengya seemed to be affected by them and put a red rosa multiflora on her ear as the young ladies on the streets did.

People in the Jin State preferred elegant and delicate peonies, but people here preferred gorgeous rosa multiflora.

Lin Mengya did not wear any ornament on her head, but her black and smooth hair looked fascinating against the bright red rosa multiflora.

The celebration of the Lieyun Empire was particularly ethnic.

The young men were dressed in navy blue ethnic costumes, while the young ladies were mostly dressed in light purple.

Local people preferred bright colors, but Lin Mengya’s bright red dress attracted many people’s attention.

Fortunately, both Baisu and Xiaoyu looked like her bodyguards so that those young men, who intended to chat her up, quitted after learning the difficulties.

Lin Mengya felt at ease and walked briskly.

Everything here was extremely novel to her. Unlike in the Jin State, she was more like a tourist rather than a participant here.

“Miss, would you like to buy a stalk of Green Heron Grass?” There came a voice.

Lowering her head, she saw the front of her clothes pulled by a small hand of a seven or eight-year-old boy who looked smilingly at her with his big watery eyes.

“What does the grass mean?” She asked.

The boy carried on his arm a small bamboo basket containing piles of bright green grasses that looked somewhat special and like herons with the upper part of them bulging.

She reached out to take one of them. When she put it in front of her nose, she seemed to be able to smell a refreshing fragrance.

Lin Mengya, who found it novel, put it in her palm and fiddled with it, while becoming interested in it.

“The Green Heron Grass is meant for couples. Miss, with it, no matter where your beloved is, he will be able to receive your messages,” the smooth-tongued boy said.

Lin Mengya looked at the furry heron-like grass and was quite fond of it.

When she was about to take out her money to buy it, she found that her wallet had long been empty.

Looking around, she failed to find Baisu and Xiaoyu.

Lin Mengya looked at the boy apologetically and was about to return the Green Heron Grass to him.

“I’ll buy all of them.” But before she spoke, she heard a voice and saw a piece of silver appear in front of her out of thin air.

The silver lay quietly on a spread large palm. The boy obviously did not expect such a bonus.

He took the money cheerfully and gave the Green Heron Grasses along with the bamboo basket to the man.

“Miss, this is for you,” the man said.

Lin Mengya turned her head to look at the man, but put the Green Heron Grass in her hand back into the bamboo basket in his hand.

“My husband does not want me to accept anything given by anyone. Farewell,” she said and took a step back subconsciously at the sight of the man’s tall figure.

Despite the dim light on the street, the man wrapped himself in a dark cloak and did not look like a good person.

Baisu and Xiaoyu happened to be absent at this moment. Lin Mengya stared at the man warily and took another few steps back.

“Be careful!” The man said in a deep voice, which sent Lin Mengya into a panic.

All of a sudden, her waist was grasped by a pair of big hands and she was pulled into the man’s arms in an instant.

A group of boys, who enjoyed themselves like mad behind her, had almost bumped into her.

“Thank you,” she said.

There was a bamboo basket filled with the Green Heron Grasses between them. Although the man’s arm was around her waist, they were not very close.

“You’re welcome,” the man said, letting go of her slender waist without reluctance.

Coincidentally, Lin Mengya saw Baisu and Xiaoyu, who were not far away, struggling to make their way through the crowd to her.

“Farewell,” she said.

Then she turned around to meet up with her companions, but she, who was a little flustered, did not notice that the rosa multiflora she wore on her temple had fallen into the man’s hand.

The man held the Green Heron Grass with one hand, while gently holding the red rosa multiflora with the other hand.

There was a complicated look in his dark eyes that were revealed for the first time under the moonlight.

“Master, is there anything wrong?”

Several figures with an intimidating air stood behind the man in black like an iron wall.

“Follow them and don’t be discovered by them,” the man said in a deep voice, reluctant to watch Lin Mengya leave.

If Lin Mengya were here, she would be shocked, because as the man gently took off his black cloak, his handsome but thin face was revealed under the moonlight.

How long hadn’t he seen her? Long Tianyu didn’t know, but he couldn’t help but put the red rosa multiflora with her scent in his arms cautiously and properly.

She seemed to have recovered a lot.

At the thought that she turned him down by mentioning her husband casually as an excuse, he was in a bitter-sweet mood.

After hastily holding the so-called funeral, he led his men to the Lieyun Empire without a stop.

Perhaps God pitied him for his deep-rooted and lingering desire to meet her these days.

On the first day they arrived here, he happened to bump into Lin Mengya on the street.

He just wanted to walk around and buy some trinkets she liked.

Unexpectedly, he followed a familiar figure in red he saw accidentally, and met her.

The Green Heron Grasses in the bamboo basket were still giving off a faint fragrance.

They actually worked.

“Here you are,” he said, giving the Green Heron Grasses to one of his subordinates beside him.

Then under the astonished gaze of his subordinate, he put on his cloak and walked in the opposite direction from Lin Mengya.

Since they met again, he would never let her go.

But now, he did not have to rush.

Lin Mengya, who disappeared at the end of the street with the crowd in a flurry, had no idea that the man she had been missing all this time had come back to her life.

“Miss, what’s wrong with you?” Baisu asked.

After passing through the crowd, Lin Mengya finally met up with Xiaoyu and Baisu.

However, the flustered look in her eyes puzzled the two of them.

She said, “I’m... I’m fine. I just found it a little too crowded here. Oh yes, isn’t the celebration about to start soon? Shall we go join in the fun?”

She found the man in black familiar.

She was not sure if he was a good guy, but if she encountered an acquaintance here, it would probably cause her trouble.

“Oh, okay, the celebration is going to be held in the Witch Empress Shrine. Let’s go together. It is not too late now.”

Baisu and Xiaoyu didn’t think much about it. After all, who would believe that Lin Mengya, who had great courage and insight, was panicked by a man?

Patting her cheeks, Lin Mengya tried hard to forget this and followed Xiaoyu and Baisu to the Witch Empress Shrine.

Lin Mengya discovered the Witch Empress’s celebration was similar to the Double-Seventh Day in ancient times.

Most of the crowd were young men and young ladies who considered the Witch Empress’s birthday celebration as a festival to pray for love regardless of what it was held for.

Fortunately, the three of them were young, so it was not inappropriate for them to come here.

The Witch Empress Shrine was built on the outskirts of the outer capital city.

It was not very imposing, but it was of a unique style. At this moment, it had been overcrowded.

Xiaoyu led the other two of them to the back of the shrine with ease.

Perhaps people were busy worshipping the Witch Empress, so there was no one in the backyard of the shrine.

“She’s in the Divine Witch’s residence next door. Sister, are we really going to sneak in?” Xiaoyu asked.

After turning several corners, the three of them came to a very quiet corner.

Xiaoyu and Baisu had some doubts in their eyes, but they would decisively act under Lin Mengya’s order.

“Only today will our sneaking arouse no suspicion. No matter how many men Wanyan Jing has, it’s impossible for them to keep an eye on everyone. In my opinion, they are either guarding the residence of Madame Hui or the entrance to prevent suspicious people from sneaking in. Nevertheless, there are not supposed to be plenty of guardians. Let’s act according to circumstances later,” Lin Mengya said.

Although today they mainly came out for fun, they had proper business to attend to while hanging out.

Madame Hui had hidden in the Divine Witch Shrine over the past few days and might be up to something.

Although Lin Mengya knew that it was unrealistic to get rid of her, it was appropriate to take this rare opportunity to find out more about the situation.

Fortunately, there were plenty of people on the streets today. Even if they had been stalked secretly, the stalkers had been separated from them by the crowd.

After sneaking here unnoticed, they were going to find a chance to sneak into the Divine Witch Shrine.

The Divine Witch Shrine and the Witch Empress Shrine were located in the same building.

Nevertheless, they were located in different courtyards, one of which was for worship and the other was the residence of the Divine Witch.

Xiaoyu had told her the Divine Witch was a very mysterious and fair woman.

The Divine Witch was not an official title, but she enjoyed high prestige in the Lieyun Empire.

Even the Grand Shaman, in name, had to obey the orders of the Divine Witch.

Madame Hui must have come up with a thorough plan before coming to Divine Witch Shrine at this time.

After all, acting wildly here was equivalent to disrespect for the Divine Witch.

Considering the schemes she used against the Empress and her plan to make use of the Divine Witch to guarantee her safety, Lin Mengya was increasingly aware that Madame Hui was not a simple person.

“Are you ready?” Baisu, who hid in a corner, asked in a low voice.

“Yes, just wait and see!” Xiaoyu said in a relaxed tone not far away.

Their adventure had just begun.
