Chapter 585 Execrable Motive

Could it be—

“You mean that Doctor Gu intended to bury these babies alive… in order to create more Venomous Armored Insects! However, Xiu and I did not find any trace of mustard seeds. How could he control the Venomous Armored Insects safely without mustard seeds?”

Lin Mengya was puzzled. She once thought that Doctor Gu intended to deal with the aristocratic families in Yunzhou.

Unexpectedly, there were the eggs of the Venomous Armored Insects planted in these babies.

Could it be that she made a wrong guess?

“Humph, there must be someone helping us solve this mystery. Now, as long as you keep an eye on these babies, they will be fine.”

Compared with Lin Mengya who was anxious and fearful, Baili Rui seemed to be calm.

He must have come up with a way to deal with it.

Although Lin Mengya was anxious, with her teacher by her side, she set her mind at rest.

Therefore, what she should do at the moment was to take good care of those babies so that no one could do anything to them.

“Brother Yixin, I’m sorry to keep you here to work.”

Lin Mengya turned to Xiao Yixin, who had been sitting aside without saying anything.

In fact, he should stay by Long Tianyu’s side to help him appease public feelings or give advice.

Unexpectedly, she inadvertently let Xiao Yixin become one of the few men staying here.

In addition to Xiu and Lin Mengya, there were only some old women and mothers around. Therefore, all the hard work naturally became these strong men’s responsibilities.

“It doesn’t matter. I haven’t thanked you for saving the descendants of our Xiao family. I should take care of these things.”

In the past, someone as arrogant as Xiao Yixin certainly would disdain to do this rough work.

However, what he had been through in this half a year had made him take some things lightly.

Today, Lin Mengya accidentally found that Xiao Yixin, who once looked gentle but was actually arrogant, had learned how to get along with these civilians.

Coupled with his elegant manners, handsome appearance, and gentle attitude, he almost became one of the most popular people in the isolated campsite.

It was beyond her expectation.

“It’s fine. You don’t have to worry about it. With me around, those rascals won’t be able to play any tricks. Little girl, take an early rest. We’re leaving now.”

Such a trick was naturally a piece of cake for Baili Rui, a master of poison-making.

What disgusted him was probably the sinister intentions of these people.

After seeing Baili Rui and Xiao Yixin off, Lin Mengya and Xiu lay on their temporary bed piled up with straws. After a busy day, although she felt a little tired, she couldn’t relax mentally.

“Sister, are you worried that those eggs will hurt the babies?”

Tilting her head, Xiu looked at Lin Mengya with her bright, big, and round eyes and asked.

“You can always figure out what I’m thinking. They shouldn’t have hurt the innocent babies in any case. The Venomous Armored Insects are so powerful, so I’m naturally worried.”

Hearing Lin Mengya’s words, Xiu was a little hesitant.

After hesitating for a while, she cautiously observed Lin Mengya’s expression and asked.

“Sister, do you hate those capable of raising venomous insects?”

She asked with nervousness in her eyes, seeming to be afraid that Lin Mengya would discover something.

However, Xiu didn’t know that she somehow revealed her true feelings in front of Lin Mengya all the time.

“No. In fact, venomous insects can’t be right or wrong just like my skill of making poisons. For example, neither this plague nor my teacher can be defined as something right or wrong. In fact, I know that you also raise venomous insects. Don’t be so nervous. I have discovered that you carry plenty of venomous insects and poisons with you a long time ago. There is no poison in this world that can be hidden from me.”

Lin Mengya smiled and mentioned the issue that Xiu had always been worried about.

However, Xiu seemed to get upset again the next second.

“Since you think so, will others have the same thought? I mean, will those very close to you have the same thought?”

This was the second time Xiu had said something like this.

She had shown the intention of learning from Lin Mengya before.

Could it be that this girl had a crush on someone around Lin Mengya?

Long Tianyu? No, the girl seemed to have no feelings for Long Tianyu and usually avoided meeting him as much as possible.

Xiao Yixin didn’t seem to the one. Who was the one? Could it be her cousins?

Lin Mengya thought of a series of names but denied them one after another.

She decided to forget it. Since Xiu didn’t want to tell her at the moment, she could wait until Xiu wanted to tell her.

If it was really someone around her, she would definitely set them up.

At the moment, she had better end her conversation with the curious girl.

“Uh—I don’t
