I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 594, page 2.1-68: The Crown: The Treasure of a Lost Dynasty
The sky was filled with stars, and the moonlight was as clear as if it had been washed, casting a silvery glow on the forest. The stream flowed by, shimmering with light.

A gentle breeze rustled through the leaves of the trees, masking the soft footsteps.

Lin Ya led the griffin through the forest, bathed in the cool moonlight, her long, dark hair fluttering in the breeze.

Suddenly he heard the sound of flowing water and felt the griffin beside him nuzzle his back with its head.

I instinctively turned around, looked at it through the veil covering my eyes, then let go of it and turned to walk towards the sound of flowing water.

The first thing that catches the eye is the splashing water droplets gently touching her delicate face, and her long, misty gray hair is casually scattered behind her head, shimmering with silver light under the moonlight.

Lin Ya was slightly taken aback and stood rooted to the spot.

Mu Yegui cupped a handful of water in her hands and patted it on her face. Then she heard footsteps getting closer and closer. She turned her head slightly and saw Lin Ya standing there dumbfounded not far away.

The bright moonlight shone down, and the girl, bathed in its glow, appeared even more aloof and unapproachable than usual.

Glistening water droplets slid down her cheeks, finally dripping one by one into the water under her chin.

Two blue roses blooming by the water shimmered with a faint blue hue under the moonlight, swaying gently in the breeze as if performing a slow dance...

The soft sound of water droplets falling onto the water's surface broke the tranquility.

"You..." Lin Ya stopped mid-sentence, unsure of what to say next.

Mu Yegui slowly stood up, picked up the veil beside her, and put it on. Her soft, childlike voice was as emotionless as ever, "Long time no see, Lin Ya."

"Long time no see..." Lin Ya lowered his eyes and said softly.

His cool, silver eyes stared silently at Lin Ya. The two remained silent for a long time before Mu Yegui finally spoke, "So it was him who sent you, wasn't it?"

Lin Ya stiffened slightly, nodded, and replied, "Mm."

"Now?" Mu Yegui asked again, meaning he was asking Lin Ya if she wanted to leave now.

"If it's convenient for you," Lin Ya said softly.

In fact, he could not disobey the king's orders, so he would definitely take action; however, he was now beginning to hesitate and doubt whether his choice was correct.

The bucket landed with a 'clatter' on the ground, followed by a series of hurried footsteps.

"Who are you!" Haiyin stood in front of Mu Yegui and said coldly.

Bathed in moonlight, she gazed at Lin Ya, her eyes blazing with hatred. It was this man! No matter how much time passed, she would never forget the moment her sister was killed by him!

"What are you going to do!?" Are you planning to harm innocent people again!

Lin Ya frowned slightly, his voice turning cold, and said, "Get out of my way, this is none of your business."

"As long as I'm here, you won't be able to lay a hand on me!" Haiyin stiffened with fear, but still stood in front of Mu Yegui without hesitation. She had failed to protect her younger sister before, and even if it was just a hope for her this time, she didn't want to lose her again.

Lin Ya didn't really want to take action against ordinary people, but if she insisted on stopping him, then he would have no choice but to take the necessary action.

"I'm sorry, Haiyin, he came to pick me up," Mu Yegui said softly.

"What?" For a moment, Haiyin thought she had misheard. She turned to look at Mu Yegui in disbelief, only to see a serious expression on his face. "Are you kidding me? With someone like that?" Haiyin frowned, still unable to believe that the person she thought was her sister's support was related to the executioner, and that he had even come to pick her up.

For a moment, she felt as if she had been deceived and betrayed, and her heart was filled with anger, but she managed to suppress it.

"Why?" Hein clenched her fists and stared intently at Mu Yegui, trying to find a denial on her face.

However, in the end it was just her wishful thinking and self-deception...

“Because Wang sent him to find me, I should go now.” Mu Yegui nodded to Haiyin. “Thank you for taking care of me these past few days.”

"Get out!!" Hein roared as if she were about to collapse.

Mu Yegui paused for a second, lowered her eyes, and turned to walk towards Lin Ya. She didn't explain anything, but she didn't reveal that Lin Ya wanted to kill her and that's why he came to find her. She just didn't want her affairs to bring unnecessary trouble to others, so it was best to part ways now.

Mu Yegui wouldn't have thought much of it if it were anyone else, but Haiyin had taken care of her a lot, so she felt it was better not to involve her in the affairs between her and the king.

When Hein pointed at her and told her to get lost, Mu Yegui felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but she quickly suppressed it. Never mind, it's not important.

Mu Yegui glanced back at the furious Haiyin, seeing her cold and indifferent expression, she pursed her pink lips, and in the end said nothing, but simply left with Lin Ya.

“She…” Lin Ya hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.

"It's unimportant, don't worry about it." Although she said this, she actually wanted Lin Ya to forget about them and not to take action against them.

The two arrived in front of a large griffin, and Lin Ya reached out and touched its head.

"You look a little different than before." Lin Ya looked at Mu Yegui through the veil in front of her eyes and could clearly feel that Mu Yegui gave off a weak feeling, and was more likely to be pushed over than before.

"Then can I trouble you with this next step?" Mu Yegui looked up and met Lin Ya's eyes. She neither denied nor confirmed Lin Ya's words, but simply said in a soft, sweet voice.

"Hmm?" Lin Ya blinked, looking at Mu Yegui with a puzzled expression.

Mu Yegui stretched out her arms towards Lin Ya and said, "Carry me up." She had no strength left; being able to walk was already quite an achievement, and she couldn't do anything more strenuous.

Lin Ya: "..." He had never seen a guy who so openly and blatantly showed weakness.

But he sighed resignedly, placed his hands on her waist, lifted Mu Yegui, and placed her on the griffin.

"Where are we going now?" Mu Yegui asked, gently stroking the stiff griffin as he sat atop it, glancing at Lin Ya who was leading it.

"Let's go to Gara City first. The king said that a beautiful gem has appeared there, and he wants me to retrieve it," Lin Ya said in a low voice.

Mu Yegui watched Lin Ya's retreating figure with a thoughtful expression, but she didn't ask any questions. She was thinking about the content of the mural.

Where is that gem that shines brighter than the sun and is more beautiful than the moon...?

"How did he know that there were gems in Gara City?" Mu Yegui asked.

"The Holy Son told the King about it one day, and then the King told me to pick up that gem when I came to see you." But there's still no word about this gem, as if the Holy Son just made it up to deceive the King.
