Lin Mengya subconsciously glanced at Cai Ling, who nodded slightly at her.
She relaxed slightly and followed the man.
After passing through the hall, they reached the third floor. The man wanted to continue leading them to the hall on the third floor, but Cai Ling stopped in his tracks.
"Ask this saint to stay a moment."
Cai Ling's gentle voice did not carry any offensive power.
The man thought something was wrong with him and immediately urged him.
"No matter what you have to do, you'd better go inside and talk before you go. If you can't make it in time for the Yuan Yue Festival, wouldn't your trip be in vain?"
"That's what my lord said."
He smiled, turned to Lin Mengya and said.
"The third floor is where most aristocratic families come. As one of the top ten aristocratic families, the Gong family has to go to the fifth floor. You'd better go quickly, I'll wait for you here."
The man's expression changed slightly, but he really couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Because Cai Ling is so elegant and polite.
Looking at it this way, it seemed like he wanted to go alone because he was afraid of wasting Lin Mengya's time.
But in this way, he also pointed out where Lin Mengya was going, and he hadn't offended the saint yet.
"Thank you, sir."
He gave Lin Mengya a comforting look, then turned his head and got the person away without missing a beat.
"Miss... "
Jun'er screamed uneasily behind her.
"It's okay, don't be afraid."
She knew that when she came here, she would be in trouble.
But what surprised her was that it had already started from now on.
After passing through the fourth floor and arriving at the fifth floor, this place is indeed a little different from the one below.
If the lower floors look somewhat popular, then this place really looks like a cold temple.
Even a bold girl like Jun'er couldn't help but shrink her neck.
"Miss, it's so cold here!"
She rubbed her arms, and Lin Mengya knew that the reason why it was cold here was not because the temperature was too low, but because it was so lifeless, which made people feel chilly from deep inside.
Here, no one came out to greet him.
When they entered the hall, they saw a person sitting inside.
"Who is coming?"
The man had a clean face and looked to be in his thirties, but his eyes were too ancient.
If she hadn't heard the slight breathing sound, she would have thought that the other party was just a cold doll.
"This is the eldest lady of the Gong family. May I ask, sir, where should we report?"
Although she was panicking, Jun'er's face was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was very charming like a young lady from her family.
After the man looked at them carefully with his eyes, he asked coldly.
"Do you have a famous post?"
"Yes, please take a look."
Jun'er put the name card of the Gong family on the table. After the man grabbed it, he checked it carefully for a long time but fell silent.
Lin Mengya had some doubts in her heart, but what happened before also sounded the alarm for her.
No matter what was wrong, she immediately ran up.
The top ten aristocratic families are actually just a nice way of saying it. The number of people they can bribe is limited. If they really want to harm her, she is not afraid of fighting to the death.
By then, no one will look good.
"Okay, please wait a moment, miss."
The man got up and went to the back of the hall.
Lin Mengya and Jun'er were a little surprised, but they still waited here obediently for a few minutes.
When the man came out again, he had several things in his hands.
"This is your voucher for entering and exiting the temple in the future. We will send the time for the Yuanyue Festival to start to your house later."
She saw the man take out a small jade sign with no words on it, only the image of a moon.
However, this month is missing a small gap, and there are five clouds next to it.
She didn't recognize this thing, but Cai Ling said before that it would be right for her to come to the fifth floor.
"Thank you."
After she arrived in Xie, she took her things and left with Jun'er.
However, Cai Ling was no longer on the third floor. When she reached the bottom, she saw the man standing next to the car waiting for her.
"Did you get the moon order?"
Lin Mengya took out the jade token in her hand and showed it to Cai Ling, who was obviously relieved.
"Let's go, we'll talk about it when we get back."
The two of them returned to Gong's house one after another. Along the way, Lin Mengya looked at the moon order in her hand over and over again.
Judging from the way Cai Ling attaches great importance to it, it is obvious that this is a very important thing.
But the person before said, isn’t this just a voucher
Somewhat unexpectedly, I met Long Tianyu at the door of the house. He stood at the door, looked at me and smiled slightly.
Lin Mengya was also very happy and couldn't wait to jump off the carriage and return home with everyone.
"Why did you come here at this time? Everything has been dealt with?"
When Long Tianyu left before, he said that he had very important things to deal with and he might not be able to come today.
Therefore, it was a bit of a surprise for Lin Mengya to see him here.
"Take a break from your busy schedule and come out to check on your situation. Once you get the Yue Ling, you can rest assured for the time being. Now, no matter who it is, there is no way to stop you from attending the Yuan Yue Festival."
How did he know? She hasn't taken out the moon order yet!
"You guy, how come you know everything?"
She blamed him angrily, but Long Tianyu just smiled and avoided her question.
Lin Mengya became more and more curious, what was this person hiding
But she had always trusted him, so if he didn't tell her, she wouldn't ask.
"Your Highness."
Cai Ling also came over to say hello, and his attitude was a little different from when he was with Lin Mengya. He seemed to be more calm and natural with Yu.
It's strange, they obviously know each other first, okay
"Well, thank you for your hard work today."
"It's not hard, it's because His Highness arranged it properly that those people didn't succeed."
"okay, I get it."
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, it seemed like they were playing a riddle.
Lin Mengya was so angry that she quietly put her small hands on Long Tianyu's waist, pinching the soft spot.
It's a pity that Long Tianyu didn't change his expression and everything was as usual.
Lin Mengya was not willing to put in much effort, so she could only snort angrily, then turned around and went into the inner courtyard to change clothes.
Since she didn't want her to know, it would be better for her to make room for them.
When she reappeared in front of Long Tianyu, Cai Ling had disappeared.
"Where's Cai Ling?"
"I asked him to go back and rest first. I said, can the two of us have a discussion?"
"What?"
"Can you please stop pinching here in the future? It hurts."
"Deserve it!"
Although Long Tianyu said it was a matter of discussion, his shallow smile didn't look like he cared about such a thing.
The two people looked at each other and smiled, both of them had reached this point. Of course they had a tacit understanding that others envied.
"How do you feel in the temple today?"
Lin Mengya thought about everything that happened today and couldn't help but wonder.
"You and Cai Ling made this arrangement just because you were afraid that someone would make things difficult for me and prevent me from successfully obtaining the monthly order, right?"
Long Tianyu nodded, it was indeed the case.
"But, except for me, it would be of no use to other families except me. So, someone wants to replace the Gong family, right?"
Her senses were really sharp, and even Long Tianyu was slightly surprised.
However, if he could remember what happened in the past, it wouldn't be like this.
"Well, my people have received news. Someone wants to completely remove your Gong family's position and replace the Gong family as one of the new top ten aristocratic families. Fortunately, we came early, otherwise they would really succeed. "
Regarding this, Lin Mengya was not worried at all.
Now that Long Tianyu has received such news, he will never fail to take any precautions.
He said this just because he wanted her to thank him.
Really, we are an old married couple, why are we still playing tricks like this
"Aren't you in a hurry?"
After waiting for a while, Long Tianyu, who didn't get the response he wanted, couldn't help but ask aloud.
Unexpectedly, he got two big looks from his beloved wife.
"If you keep joking like this, believe it or not, I will kick you out!"
Her eyes widened and she waved her little fist threateningly.
Long Tianyu immediately showed an expression of "He's so scared", but there was a smile in his eyes.
"Okay, let's stop making trouble. Now that you have obtained the Yue Ling, it is imperative that you participate on behalf of the Gong family in the Yuan Yue Festival, regardless of whether others are willing or not. Now, the only thing you have to do is The only thing to do is to prepare the sacrifices for the temple.”
Sacrifice
She immediately remembered what Aunt Lian told her. She didn't want to give her son away.
Not to mention the temple, not even the Jade Emperor!
"Look, what are you thinking about? Ning'er is our child, is it possible that I am the kind of person who gives away my child for glory?"
As soon as he looked at her, he knew what this girl was thinking about.
He pinched her pink face angrily, Long Tianyu was defeated by her.
"The emergence of the top ten aristocratic families depends not only on the strength of the aristocratic families themselves, but also on the sacrifices given to the temple during the Yuan Yue Festival. But these sacrifices are not suitable for everything. I used to do it for you I have found some things, and you can get familiar with them when the time comes. Maybe they will come in handy. However, if no one challenges you, these things will not be used."
"Challenge?" She was a little confused, and Long Tianyu began to explain it to her in detail.
It turns out that after the top ten aristocratic families were born, according to the rules, they were not allowed to make offerings to the temple.
Of course, if they want to gain greater power, the top ten families can continue to offer sacrifices.
But by that time, the sacrifice will not be that simple.
As for other aristocratic families, if the family develops to a certain level, they can compete with one of the top ten aristocratic families for sacrifices during the Yuan Yue Festival to see whose offering is more precious.
Once you win, you will be qualified as a substitute for the top ten families.
As long as one of them fails, the substitute can seize this position.
