Quick Wear Beauty

Chapter 57: The Herbalist is Charming (Fifty-Four)

Meng Yi: "I noticed that they all seemed to think the leader was a woman, but I followed her and found out that she was just the Great Protector of the Demon Cult!"

Meng Yi: "She's quite skilled in martial arts and very cautious. If I had followed her a year ago, I would have been discovered. I overheard her conversation with her confidants and learned that her public identity is the leader of the Demon Cult. Usually, when the leader is needed, she pretends to be the leader. She's unscrupulous and good at using beauty to lure people. Many men who initially looked down on her as a woman eventually became her captives, willing to work for her!"

Qingli: "Wow! The Demon Cult has such a figure? Then who is the real leader of the Demon Cult?"

She hadn't expected such a woman to exist in the original book. How could she be so unknown and hidden behind the scenes? No wonder Leng Yu got all the benefits and fame, while others bore the bad reputation!

No wonder! Leng Yu, a leader of a demonic cult, caused so many bloody crimes, yet he still had such a good image in the end!

She suddenly remembered that Leng Yu's external identity was the leader of the Moon Worship Sect, while the leader of the Western Region Demon Sect was a woman named Luo Zi, who had nothing to do with Leng Yu.

She believed that even the members of the Moon Worship Sect might not know the relationship between the sect and the Demon Sect.

Meng Yi: "I only know that the chief protector is Luo Zi. I don't even know if the real leader is a man or a woman, let alone his identity."

Qingli: "I think it's the male leader! Since he's hiding behind Luo Zi, maybe he has another identity in the martial arts world."

Meng Yi: "The Demon Cult's goal is to unify the martial arts world, so they hide in the shadows, but they'll always appear. I think, just like the fake Sword Saint, they'll replace the people in the martial arts world with their own people."

Qingli: "Then...husband! It's very likely that those prestigious people in the martial arts world have been replaced by the demonic cult members!"

Qingli: "Will the eunuch..."

Meng Yi: "This... Father has always been cautious, he won't be easily harmed."

Qingli: "They have planned this long ago, we have to be on guard!"

Meng Yi: "Then I'll try contacting my father through special channels. If my father is also replaced, then the fake father won't know the contents of my letter."

Qingli: "I think it's okay. But don't reveal your identity! You'll alert the enemy!"

Meng Yi: "Don't worry, Li'er. I understand."

Qingli: "Now that we've almost finished discussing this, let's talk about other things, shall we?"

Meng Yi: "What's going on? That guy with the surname Leng? Is his name not 'Leng Yu'?"

While the surname Leng wasn't particularly uncommon, it was rare in the martial arts world. He had only seen one person with the surname Leng, his mother. For his wife to mention him, there had to be something special about him, right? Meng Yi suddenly remembered the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult.

Qingli: "My husband is really smart. The person I met is him. There is another person who I think my husband is also familiar with."

Meng Yi: "Oh? Who? I know him well?"

Qingli: "Murong Xing."

She spoke the name word by word.

Meng Yi: "Murong Xing? Is that the person I'm thinking of?"

Meng Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Li. Was she the somewhat unruly and willful girl he had met before?

Qingli: "Yes! The daughter of the owner of Murong Villa, the adopted daughter of the owner of Qianji Pavilion, your childhood sweetheart!"

Meng Yi: "What childhood sweetheart?"

Seeing her pouting, Meng Yi smiled and pinched her nose.

Meng Yi: "She is Uncle Murong's daughter. Uncle Murong is my father's good brother, so I have seen her before. It has been a few years now, and I guess she is about to get married. Girls change a lot when they grow up. I have almost forgotten what she looks like."

Qingli: "Really? I heard that the owner of Murong Manor is interested in you as his son-in-law! I heard that Murong Xing ran away from Murong Manor just to find you!"

Meng Yi: "I just thought of her as my uncle's sister. Why would she look for me? Let me think about it. If I remember correctly, she and I only met once by chance three years ago. We never said a word to each other. In her heart, I should be a stranger, right?"

Meng Yi was baffled. How could a girl like her run away from home just to find him? Impossible, right?
