"I suspect that Gong Kang's purpose of coming back this time is not that simple."
As soon as he sat down, the fourth brother went straight to the topic.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and said: "Although the farce that happened at the door before is very consistent with the behavior of a willful, arrogant and ignorant playboy, I have a feeling."
She stared into her fourth brother's eyes, "Everything is too 'perfect'."
Gong Si nodded. He had long expected that with his sister's keenness, he would definitely find something fishy.
Whether it was the reason for the palace's excitement, or the fact that he encouraged the servants to recognize his status, and his shock and final regret and anger after his sister exposed his delusion, it was like a well-rehearsed play.
In Lin Mengya's words, although the acting skills are good, the emotional interpretation is too poor.
She leaned lazily on the chair, narrowed her eyes, and had a bit of fun on her face.
"It seems that our Mr. Gong Kang has a lot of secrets!"
Gong Si nodded and told her all the abnormalities he concluded from Gong Kang's every move.
One of them caught her attention.
"Gong Kang goes to the study every three to five days. Is this study fixed?"
Due to the steady development of Sitai College, there are now many shops specifically for students in Feiye City, and the study is one of the most popular ones among students.
Gong Si shook his head.
"It's not fixed. He never goes to the same place more than twice. That's what makes him suspicious."
Ordinarily, Sita College's library is already the largest in Weiguo College. But no matter how comprehensive it is, there are still some omissions, so these bookshelves that specialize in selling unconventional books are particularly popular among students.
In addition, in order to attract more businesses, the Gong family will provide certain subsidies for shops such as study rooms.
Therefore, the study in Feiye City is even more famous far and wide, and even the scholars from the nearby fiefdom will come here specially.
But also because of the high competitiveness, almost every study has its own characteristics, and most of the people it attracts are specific.
Like Gong Kang, he goes to every house, unless it's just to show off, or he doesn't know how to pretend to follow the crowd.
Gong Kang obviously does not belong to either of the two, and what he does gives people a feeling of concealment.
"Have you checked the origins of these study rooms?"
Gong Si nodded, with a bit of confusion on his face.
"I have secretly sent people to check it out. The origins of these books are very legitimate, but they have one thing in common. These books are full of strange stories. Although there are many fans of this kind of books, , but they are the only ones who focus on the legends of the ancient Wei Kingdom."
There was silence in the study.
In the Kingdom of the Ancient Guard, Lin Mengya couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This place used to be like a dream, and then it turned into a nightmare, like a shadow.
Until now, she couldn't even shake it off.
Gong Si suddenly felt that the little girl in front of him seemed to have a wandering mind.
He was about to shake the other person when he saw a figure, one step faster than him.
"Everything has passed, be good, don't think about it anymore, don't be afraid."
Long Tianyu hugged Lin Mengya as a protector.
The latter grabbed his arm tightly, like a drowning person suddenly coming up and breathing heavily.
"Little sister, what are you..."
Gong Si took back his hand and asked worriedly.
Long Tianyu held the person close to his chest, "Because of some things in the past, it was difficult for Ya'er to come out. However, I will accompany him, please leave first."
They have a common past, which is an area that Gong Si can never match and can never replace.
In the study, Lin Mengya gradually calmed down under his comfort.
She breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm not afraid, I just can't forget it."
Some things don't seem to matter when you are experiencing them, but sometimes when they turn into a mountain and attack you menacingly, you will always feel a little suffocated.
"It's okay to be afraid, you have me."
In terms of performance, Long Tianyu has always been very confident.
Seeing the proud look on his face, the strange feeling in Lin Mengya's heart was relieved a lot.
"Why would Gong Kang deliberately lead us to Gu Weiguo?"
Long Tianyu shook his head, "No matter what his purpose is, it will not be a good thing after all. The ancient Wei Kingdom is too mysterious, and until now, no one can tell when and where it once existed. But every time But everyone is determined that Weiguo is the inheritance from ancient Weiguo, and no one can solve the mystery of it yet."
The Legacy of the Ancient Guard, which was once a trap, is just a conspiracy by some thoughtful people, and they will not take it seriously.
But she felt that the person behind Gong Kang would not be so boring and use another illusion to deceive her again, right
"This matter is really strange. Even though we know it is a trap, we cannot let it go."
Long Tianyu knocked on the table, "That person probably wants us to doubt the origins of those shopkeepers, but the origins of those shopkeepers are authentic, so we will definitely target those books."
"That's right!"
She nodded and added.
"What he originally wanted was to confuse the information we were exposed to. In this way, we would not notice him because we found it ourselves."
Long Tianyu raised his eyebrows slightly, with a sneer on his face.
"They are playing scheming tricks in front of us. It seems they really don't take us seriously."
"I think it's because he knows us too well."
Lin Mengya felt a little uneasy in her heart.
"How to say?" Long Tianyu asked.
"On the surface, their methods are quite superb, at least they are in line with our habits. Don't forget what Gong Kang did before, it is not simple. Don't you think his plan this time can keep up? Isn’t it a bit too simple compared to the first time?”
After calming down, Lin Mengya's mind seemed to be open and all the details were stored in her mind.
The feeling Gong Kang gave her before was that he was cunning, sharp, and maybe a little bit infatuated.
But the man standing in front of them today was so arrogant that he looked like an idiot.
Even if the real reason is that the person behind him is powerful, if he himself is a piece of shit who cannot stand up to the wall, then no matter how powerful the plan is, he will be ruined.
So what Gong Kang lets them see now is what he wants them to see.
Including today's farce, and maybe those study rooms.
Long Tianyu had a quick mind and thought of a good idea in the blink of an eye.
"Didn't he want us to investigate? Then I'll just investigate it for him."
Lin Mengya tilted her head and looked at him doubtfully.
The latter gently pinched her little nose and said, "He actually wants to divert our attention, so we must make him the focus of everyone's eyes."
Although she didn't know his plan, Lin Mengya still had some expectations in her heart.
She smiled and said: "In that case, I will just wait for the good news!"
"Don't worry, I'll keep it with you!"
He patted his chest, winning.
He left Gongkang in embarrassment from the Gong family, and did not choose to settle down where his friends or acquaintances were.
He walked far away until he was sure that no one behind him could see him. His eyes suddenly became sharp and his actions became faster than before.
He carefully knocked on a door and made sure there were no eyes around him before ducking in.
Inside is a small, square courtyard, but probably due to the owner's unique taste, it looks slightly different from an ordinary courtyard.
It was obvious that he was familiar with the place, and he walked to the main room in the middle without any guidance from the servant.
It was very dark inside, but there was a pale candle burning on the table.
There is something special about white candles. There is almost no wax underneath, and the flames seem to be unaffected by air flow and rarely sway.
Beside the table sat a man wrapped tightly in a black cloak.
After seeing this person, Gong Kang, who had a stern expression just now, suddenly burst out with a different kind of fanaticism in his eyes.
"I've seen the goddess!"
His voice seemed to be trembling slightly because of excitement.
The woman in front of him is his light and heat, and also his belief in this life.
For this person, he would give everything he had and sell his soul.
"We don't have to be so polite to each other."
The voice was like smoke curling up, like the whisper of an immortal in the sky.
Obviously he didn't have any other feelings, but it made Gong Kang's fanaticism rise to a new level.
"My Goddess, I can do anything for your great cause!"
The goddess took off the hood on her head, revealing a face with almost no trace of blood.
When Gong Kang saw the true appearance of the goddess, he burst into tears with excitement.
"Are you finally willing to see me? I have been waiting for this day for a long, long time!"
He was like a traveler who traveled through mountains and rivers and finally reached the other shore. When he exhausted his last bit of strength and was about to be submerged in the waves, he found his ideal paradise at the moment of death.
Even though it might be an illusion, he still stretched out his hand and firmly grasped the wisp of smoke that might drift away at any time.
The goddess sighed quietly.
"Although I can come to your side again, because of the exhaustion of my divine power, I can no longer remember the stories that happened between us. Will you blame me?"
If Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu were here, they would definitely see how stiff the expression on the "goddess's" face was.
It's a pity that in the eyes of a madman, that face that has been haunted for many years is his god.
With tears in his eyes, he carefully held the goddess's hand.
"I'm willing to pay any price to bring you back to life."
"Goddess" gently stroked Gong Kang's cheek, "Find me more 'sacrifice', as long as they are more beautiful and younger, then my 'god' will be more and more satisfied. "
The scene at this time was already a bit horrifying, but unfortunately, Gong Kang's eyes were still filled with affection.
"I will sacrifice the entire palace family to you, my favorite goddess!"
