Chapter 873 Deliberately Mystifying

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“Or was it all arranged by the Emperor and the Madam?

“Was it the tactic of ‘striking the mountains to shake the tigers’ so that they wanted to remind them not to indulge in the desire in their hearts too much?”

But no matter what, he was afraid that he had to pay attention to it.

This Ninth Prince was by no means a good guy.

He slightly put away the previous idea of getting rid of Wanyan Yu. After watching this dance, he felt that all his thoughts had been seen through by others.

“It’s really amazing. No wonder they are from the royal city. Naturally, they are different from the dancers here.”

As he started to praise Lin Mengya, Xiaoyu also came back to his senses.

To be frank, when he saw his sister coming out of the darkness, he didn’t even recognize her.

The sister who was dancing seemed to have become a complete stranger to him.

At this moment, it seemed that she was no longer the gentle and considerate sister, but a witch from hell.

Although she was beautiful and seductive, she was also noble and inviolable.

She was really different from any other woman.

The desire to have her all to him in his heart grew stronger and stronger, and if there really were ghosts and gods in the world, then his only wish would be to live with her for the rest of his life.

“What’s the matter, Your Highness?”

Looking at Wanyan Yu who seemed to be lost in thought, Xin Mu couldn’t help calling him.

“Oh, nothing. Every time I see this dance, I feel a little astonished. Second uncle, are you satisfied?”

He narrowed his eyes. He knew what his sister meant in this dance.

She was really very smart. She could interrogate the old fox in front of him with torture just by dancing.

It seemed that he had to seize this opportunity to see through him.

“I’m satisfied. Of course, I’m. Your Highness, you’ve done a good job. I’ve got to hand it to you.”

This child was indeed unfathomable.

Xin Mu couldn’t help being more cautious, and his attitude toward Wanyan Yu became more and more respectful.

All of this was mainly due to Lin Mengya’s performance in a dance of the fight between the human and the witch.

“My little girl, how did you come up with this idea?”

After the performance, someone naturally took them back to the temporary rest room.

Since they were dancers brought by the Ninth Prince, they didn’t dare to be careless.

They were taken back to the room where they met with Xiaoyu just now.

After making sure that there was no one outside, Qinghu lowered his voice and asked in surprise.

“It’s not a big deal. The dance is a language of the body. What we’re performing is just the reality. And the final effect is mainly due to the poisonous fragrance made by me. How about your bodies? Are you affected by it?”

After putting on the veil, Lin Mengya knew that most people couldn’t see her true appearance with the peach blossom makeup on her face.

In this way, there would be less trouble in the future.

As for why she performed such a dance, the reason was really the same as Xin Mu thought.

The witch she played represented all kinds of desires in people’s hearts.

Since Xiaoyu came here alone, those people from the Xin Family might not take him seriously.

The best way was to deliberately mystify the dance so that they could “strike the mountains to shake the tigers”.

As long as they didn’t show their trump cards, those people wouldn’t dare to act rashly.

Who would have thought that this astonishing dance was originally a temporary idea of Lin Mengya?

“It’s really good for you. That group of people can’t figure out Xiaoyu’s real intention now, so they can’t figure out why he comes here.”

Qinghu put down the lying harp he had temporarily borrowed and looked at his little girl with a smile.

Lin Mengya looked at Qinghu thoughtfully. She had expected that Qinghu’s slender hands could play this instrument.

“What else can’t you do? Are you a Doraemon?”

Lin Mengya suddenly got very close to Qinghu, and her big eyes were shining with shrewdness and sharpness.

“What’s the Dora…emon? My little girl, I don’t know a lot of things. But I happen to be able to do what you can do.”

He had gotten used to Lin Mengya’s strange words which he could not understand from time to time.

But Qinghu’s words were obviously a mockery of Lin Mengya.

A cold snort popped out of her nose. Lin Mengya put her hands on her hips and glared at him coldly.

“I can drink the crest of a crane as the water. If you’re not convinced, you can have a try.”

“Uh…”

Qinghu’s smile froze on his face. Well, he really could not do that.

Lin Mengya, who had won the battle, patted Qinghu on his shoulder and said earnestly, “Young man, you’d better keep a modest attitude. If you want to compete with me in terms of strengths, your nine lives won’t be enough to die.”

Qinghu looked at his arrogant little girl helplessly. He had no choice but to admit that she had the capital to be arrogant.

Qinghu lowered his head in defeat and tried his best to please the little witch. However, there was a smile at the corners of his eyes.

This was the little girl he was familiar with. No matter what happened, she could always face it with a smile.

Even if there was an abyss ahead, she could always find another way to jump over it.

What, then, could be difficult for her?

“Alright, Miss, please let go of Qinghu for the time being. Someone is coming.”

Baisu would also feel happy every time she saw her Miss pick on Qinghu.

But she, with sharp ears, had also heard the noise outside and had to remind the two of them.

“Let Qinghu talk later. You and I should not speak easily.”

Lin Mengya instructed Baisu for a few words in a low voice. Baisu nodded and finally understood.

Qinghu quickly hid his smile and put on a cold expression.

When the fellow arrived at their room, he could only see the three dancers and musicians who were so cold that people should stay away from them.

“Our patriarch invites your three.”

The fellow’s attitude was polite, but in fact, he despised these three people in his heart.

“They are just dancers and singers. Why are they so arrogant?”

But when he led them into the banquet, he saw that all eyes were focused on the three people behind him.

“Distinguished Ninth Prince. Distinguished Patriarch.”

Qinghu bent slightly in salute, but it was not the usual kneeling etiquette.

Instead, he placed his right hand on his chest and bent slightly in the ritual of saluting, as Lin Mengya had taught him.

“Get up. The three of you performed very well. My second uncle likes you very much, so he calls you here. Don’t lose your manners, get it?”

As usual, as their nominal master, Wanyan Yu had to give some instructions.

Although he was not used to Qinghu’s exotic accent, he did not show any flaws in front of Xin Mu.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Lin Mengya lowered her head. Although she did not speak, she could feel the gaze from the man beside Xiaoyu.

This sharp gaze with examination made her feel a little uncomfortable.

But thinking about it, the more ambitious a person was, the more he would be touched by what she had performed before.

It seemed that the patriarch of the Xin Family was quite ambitious.

Xin Mu took back his gaze for the time being. For some reason, the woman who played the witch always gave him an uneasy feeling.

That was the acute sense that he had cultivated in the ups and downs over the years.

However, she was just a dancer, and she would not make a difference to the bigger picture.

It seemed that it was the effect of the Dream Soul Intoxication.

After thinking for a while, Xin Mu tried hard to make himself look like a considerate host.

“Your dance is indeed beautiful, but I am so crude that I don’t really understand what it means. That’s why I want you to explain it to me.”

For the past few years, Xin Mu had watched a lot of ordinary performances.

But he had never been so astonished before.

Moreover, the combination of the witch and the girl who danced with the sword indeed impressed him deeply.

If they were really sent by the Emperor and the Madam, he was afraid that they would be in trouble.

Qinghu bowed slightly. Fortunately, Lin Mengya had already made arrangements for this matter.

With the weird accent he learned from Lin Mengya, Qinghu said slowly, “This is a legend from our hometown. My younger sister played the role of a heroine in the legend of our hometown. And the elder girl played the witch who wanted to destroy our hometown in the legend. The heroine’s swordsmanship was excellent, but it was very difficult to subdue the witch. So, in the end, the heroine and the witch died together. No matter how powerful the witch was, there would eventually be a hero with a sword to subdue it. Therefore, there was such a performance for future generations to remember.”

Qinghu’s words were reasonable. After his eyes met with Xiaoyu’s by accident, Xiaoyu understood what they meant.

“What a good story in which a heroine fought against a witch with her wisdom. Such a story could only be made up by his sister.”

His eyes flickered slightly, and he pretended to scold the three of them innocently.

“What witch? This is my uncle’s family. Why do you perform this? Go back now, lest you offend the great ones.”

Qinghu and the other two immediately admitted and left obediently.

And Baisu also returned the jade sword borrowed from the steward of the mansion at once. If it were not for the fact that they were not allowed to hold a real sword, she would not use such a stupid thing to perform the sword dance.

Xiaoyu’s words told them to go back and reflect on their performance immediately.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the three of them successfully left the Xin Family’s house.

When they couldn’t be seen by anyone, Lin Mengya and the other two hurried back to the place where they changed clothes before.

After everything returned to the previous appearance, Qinghu secretly led Lin Mengya and Baisu to the place of the original road where they had just disappeared.

After waiting quietly for a while, they saw a few figures. They were so sneaky as if they were looking for something.

However, after searching for a long time, they still failed to find it. In the end, they left.

In the darkness, Lin Mengya could see them clearly with the help of the moonlight.

Among those people, there were obviously some fellows whom they had just seen in the mansion of Xin Family.

The corner of her mouth curled into a cold smile. Indeed, it was as she had expected.

Those who really had evil intentions would feel guilty and think that she was hinting at something.

That was why he had sent people to capture them.
