Chapter 892: Chapter 730: Key to the Secret of the Western Night Saintess

Ayimulan raised her hand and removed the ghostly mask from her face, calmly gazing at Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian said, "Loulan Queen, I hope you have been well. Mr. Shan, this is your fault. The princess consort comes personally, yet you didn’t inform me in advance so I could welcome her, making it appear that I’m negligent and rude."

Shan Cheng, standing on the other side of Ayimulan, twirled the Green Flute in his hand and asked, "Do you have any?"

Meng Qianqian replied, "I have some to put on the appearance."

Shan Cheng chuckled.

Meng Qianqian looked at Ayimulan again, "If the princess consort isn’t staying put in Shanshan City, aren’t you specifically here to see me as a hostage? I’m truly flattered."

Ayimulan said, "I know you sent them a message, leading them to Shanshan City."

Meng Qianqian’s eyes moved slightly, "Ah, I see."

She had never sent a message to Lu Yuan and Chen Long.

If Ayimulan said so, it seems Lu Yuan and her brother were already on their way to Shanshan City.

No, knowing Ayimulan’s cautious nature, she wouldn’t easily conclude without absolute certainty.

Could someone genuinely have sent a message to Lu Yuan and her brother?

Who could it be?

Ayimulan said, "Your plan is doomed to fail because you’re not going to Shanshan City at all!"

Meng Qianqian raised an eyebrow, "Oh."

Ayimulan: "Aren’t you curious where I will take you?"

Meng Qianqian said, "Not curious."

Ayimulan looked deeply at her, "You people from the Central Plains always speak one way and think another."

Meng Qianqian smiled, "That’s called advancing by retreating. I guess you must be eager to tell me our real destination now."

"Telling you is no problem."

Ayimulan said, "After all, you can’t send them any messages now."

Meng Qianqian thought to herself, she hadn’t sent one to begin with.

"We’re going to Liuli Island."

Ayimulan stated.

Meng Qianqian was secretly startled.

Liuli Island?

Si Snake’s homeland?

Why would they go there?

Could it be—

Because of the rumors of the Seven Stars in a Row?

The West Night Saintess would, on the night of the Seven Stars in a Row, bring her grand secret back to Liuli Island.

Zi Shu wants the secret of the West Night Saintess; could it be Ayimulan also desires it?

What could this secret be?

That drives so many people to pursue it relentlessly.

Seeing Meng Qianqian silent, Ayimulan asked Shan Cheng, "Didn’t you tell her about the seven-star conjunction rumor?"

Shan Cheng replied, "No, but I guessed she already knew."

Ayimulan said, "If that’s the case, I’ll speak plainly. Meng Qianqian, are you willing to assist me in becoming the king of the Western Regions?"

"Me? Support you?"

Meng Qianqian blinked, "Don’t you find that question laughable even as you ask it? There’s a deep-seated enmity between us."

Ayimulan said, "The matter with Amushan, you don’t have to take it to heart."

Meng Qianqian gave a cold smile.

Amushan?

A mere him isn’t even enough as interest for the deep hatred of my whole Shang Family!

"I only ask you one question, will you help me?"

Ayimulan’s gaze was firm, "You don’t need to answer me now, I’ll give you time to consider."

Meng Qianqian asked, "What if I refuse?"

Ayimulan said, "Then I’ll have no choice but to kill you."

Meng Qianqian sneered, "You won’t kill me, you’d have done it long ago. You know full well that I won’t assist you, you’re merely stalling for time to take me to Liuli Island."

Ayimulan’s fingertips trembled slightly.

She said with an unchanged expression, "You’re quite clever, Meng Qianqian. My admiration for you is genuine. If you’re willing to support me, all past grievances will be settled, and I can offer you the highest status, even becoming the Great Witch of Loulan isn’t without possibility."

"I’m not interested."

After saying that, Meng Qianqian stood up and left the tent without turning back.

Mo Yi gripped the knife handle, "An ungrateful woman!"

Shan Cheng laughed, "She’s aware enough not to associate with Loulan."

Mo Yi frowned, "Why not kill her?"

"She cannot die."

Shan Cheng laughed, "She’s more important than you think."

Mo Yi scoffed, "Isn’t she just the one Lu Yuan and Chen Long care about? Her corpse can still control them."

Shan Cheng said with deep meaning, "You think the only people we need to restrain are Lu Yuan and Chen Long? She’s the key to the Seven Stars in a Row. Whether we can obtain the West Night Saintess’s secret depends on how we use her to strike a deal with the West Night Saintess."
