Shang'er shook her head and followed Lin Mengya into the courtyard.
"By the way, where's Cai Ling?"
Lin Mengya looked around. Not to mention Cai Ling, she didn't even see anyone from the Cai family.
"I don't know either. Just after you left, His Highness's men brought us in. From then on, I never saw Young Master Cai again. "
Lin Mengya stopped worrying. Since it was Long Tianhao's arrangement, Cai Ling must be fine.
However, she still looked at Long Tianhao doubtfully.
It seemed that this guy had been hiding a lot of things from her since they left Dragon City.
Long Tianhao seemed to have sensed her doubts. He turned around and gave her a gentle smile.
"Don't worry, trust me."
Although she knew that Long Tianhao was evading the question, Lin Mengya still nodded.
Trust him and entrust everything to him.
Wasn't all of this a walk in the park for him?
"Have a good rest here for the night. You have things to do tomorrow."
Long Tianhao patted her on the shoulder. Although he was reluctant to leave, he had to leave.
The house was not as spacious as Dragon City. After the family settled down, it was very lively.
"Miss, don't you feel that there's something strange here?"
Shang'er's eyes scanned the surroundings alertly, and she whispered to her.
Lin Mengya just put down the baby and sat at the table to eat with everyone.
"Tell me, what do you think is wrong?"
She put down the bowl and chopsticks and gently wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
"I always feel that the people in the Holy City seem to be very afraid."
"Oh, afraid? How can you tell? "
She looked at Shang'er with interest. This little girl seemed to be more and more sensitive now.
"When we walked on the street before, no one dared to speak. And there are no shops here. The people on the street are also in a hurry and rarely greet us. Miss, don't you think it's strange here? "
Not to mention Shang'er, even she felt it.
From the moment they went up the Holy Mountain, there was a sense of oppression in the orderly way.
When they entered the Holy City, this feeling was especially strong.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and comforted the little girl.
"It's fine. This is the Holy City."
Shang'er nodded as if she understood, but the doubt in her eyes was still unresolved.
Lin Mengya did not want to explain too much, lest the girl's imagination run wild and scare herself.
Outside, it was brightly lit.
In the Sacred City, every night, there would be a few lights in front of the doors of each house.
What's more, the smell of the lamp oil made Lin Mengya feel uncomfortable even though it had a faint fragrance to it.
Although it was not poisonous, Lin Mengya still used the herbs she had brought to make a kind of medicinal oil that could refresh everyone's spirit.
In this place, it was best to be careful.
"Mother …"
Early in the morning, Lin Mengya felt that her face was wet.
When he opened his eyes, he heard the little fellow mumbling "Mother".
"Good baby, say it again."
She smiled so widely that her eyes couldn't be seen. She picked up the baby and kissed him on the cheek.
The little guy always liked her kisses, hugs, and lifts. He smiled sweetly at her with only a few teeth in his cracked little mouth.
"Mother!"
The second sound was clearer, and Lin Mengya was overjoyed.
"Good baby, I can't stop loving you!"
The mother and the child played on the bed for a while, and the little guy gradually laughed more.
She rarely heard the child's voice. If she was not sure that the baby was in good health, she would have suspected that the child was sick.
The child was a mother's flesh and blood, so she naturally worried about him.
"Little Master is really a smart child. Master, I still don't understand, why did you bring Little Master here? If he stayed in the Gong Family, he might not be in danger, right? "
Baisu had been by her side for many years, so she had long developed the habit of listening to her.
But it did not mean that she would not think about the pros and cons of these things.
On the contrary, because of Lin Mengya's teaching, Baisu became more and more stable.
That was why she thought about it over and over again before asking.
"Do you think you can hide the fact that Ning 'er is Yu's biological son from everyone?"
Not to mention that the child looked more and more like Yu, it was definitely not a secret that they were a family of three.
Yu did not publicly acknowledge Ning 'er on a whim.
She knew her man very well. Even if he did not say it, she knew what he was planning.
"Master, do you mean that His Highness wants to use this matter to protect the little master?"
She gave her an admiring look. That was right, that must be Yu's plan.
Instead of hiding Ning 'er's whereabouts, it was better to let Ning' er gain the public's attention openly.
In this way, if those people still wanted to take action, they would have more to worry about.
After all, he was His Highness Xi's adopted son. Ordinary people would not dare to do anything to him.
"Miss, Master Cai is back!"
Shang'er rushed in from outside. Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat. Did something happen to Cai Ling?
Fortunately, apart from looking pale and haggard, there was nothing wrong with him. Lin Mengya's heart was finally at ease.
"I haven't seen him for a night. Where did he go?"
She raised her eyebrows and pretended to be angry.
Cai Ling's face was flushed, and her eyes were a little misty.
She knew that he was not good at lying in front of her. She also knew that he must have other plans with Yu.
Lin Mengya did not tease him anymore. She could not hold back her smile and asked him to wash up in the room and eat.
Cai Ling heaved a sigh of relief. Not long after, he changed his clothes and went to the hall to meet her.
"Why don't you rest a little longer?"
At this moment, she had already changed into a new set of clothes.
Usually, she rarely wore plain clothes, but today, she was wearing a snow-white coat and skirt.
Her waist was slender and soft. There was a gentleness in the dress, but it did not give people the feeling that she was deliberately showing off.
The dress was extremely simple, but it was also extremely elegant.
However, the hem of the dress and the cuffs were embroidered with rose patterns using gold thread.
This was prepared by her elder brother and the others before she came here.
It was said that every head of a noble family had to choose the pattern they represented after taking office.
They could choose the pattern passed down in the family or according to their own preferences and requirements.
Lin Mengya had wanted to continue using the previous pattern of the Gong family. However, she thought about it and changed to a new pattern.
It was time for the Gong family to have a new beginning.
"Don't be nervous. This time, we are just going to inform the Divine Temple that you have arrived."
Cai Ling was much calmer than her. He gently reminded Lin Mengya.
She nodded. Shang'er followed Baisu and put on a white cloak for her.
The cloak was also embroidered with the pattern of roses.
Lin Mengya gently exhaled. It seemed that this road was indeed not easy to walk on.
After leaving the Gong family, she boarded a very ordinary small horse carriage.
Here, be it the noble families, the royal family or the royal family, they all had to abide by the rules of the Divine Temple.
They had to report to the Divine Temple first, and then the Divine Temple would arrange the time for the Full Moon Sacrifice.
She arrived two days earlier than the scheduled time. Long Tianhao and Cai Ling should have intercepted all the news last night.
No one in the Sacred City should know that the Gong family had arrived. Therefore, she should be able to avoid some of the traps set against her.
Just as Shang'er had predicted, the pedestrians on the street were walking with their heads down.
It was rare to see bright colors here. Some were green and white, some were black and grey. In this white city, they were like dull dots, not a single bit of liveliness.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the fanatical worshippers, the solemnity of the Sacred City made people have no choice but to grovel at the feet of the Divine Temple, wishing that they could become a speck of dust in the Divine Temple.
But for people like Lin Mengya, she felt a little suppressed.
There was nothing wrong with faith, but this had already gone against human nature.
She really didn't think that this kind of suppressed worship was sincere.
Lin Mengya looked at the passing crowd and thought quietly.
The Divine Temple was at the highest point of the Sacred City.
It was built according to the mountain and had a total of 12 floors. It was huge and towered into the clouds, looking extraordinary.
It was said that even the Lord of the Divine Temple was not allowed to enter the top floor.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, she could vaguely feel that the entire Divine Temple was filled with a cold aura.
It had nothing to do with holiness, but a coldness that made people's hearts turn cold.
This undulating white building complex was like a tomb that could bury all vitality.
"Let's go."
Cai Ling thought that it was her first time in the Divine Temple, so she was not used to it.
Lin Mengya nodded and followed, but the vague feeling of discomfort in her heart did not disappear.
At this time, there were constantly Holy Disciples in white entering and exiting the Divine Temple. Although they were all Holy Disciples, there were differences.
But they all lived in the Divine Temple, and in terms of status, they were higher than those who lived at the foot of the mountain.
And people like her seemed to be higher than those who were not qualified to enter the Sacred City.
But Lin Mengya did not like such a strict hierarchy, it always made her feel uncomfortable.
There were no walls or doors in the Divine Temple, but there were many guards patrolling.
When they walked to the second floor and entered the hall, someone immediately came to greet them.
"Excuse me, you are …"
She only brought Shang 'er with her today.
The little girl was very clever, and when she saw the person, she immediately handed over the name card of the Gong Family respectfully.
The person flipped through it, and a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes.
But although Lin Mengya saw it, she did not say anything.
It seemed that it was just as she had expected.
