Lin Mengya glanced at Cai Ling subconsciously, and the latter nodded at her.
She was slightly relieved and followed behind the man.
After passing through the hall, they walked to the third floor. The man wanted to lead them to the hall on the third floor, but Cai Ling stopped in his tracks.
"Holy Disciple, please stay for a while."
Cai Ling's gentle voice was not aggressive at all.
The man thought that he had something to say, and immediately urged him.
"No matter what you have to say, you should go inside and say something first. If you can't make it in time for the Full Moon Sacrifice, you will have come here in vain. "
"You are right, Your Excellency."
He smiled and turned to Lin Mengya.
"The third floor is for ordinary aristocratic families. As one of the top ten aristocratic families, the Gong Family has to go to the fifth floor. You should go quickly, I will wait for you here. "
The man's expression changed slightly, but he really could not find any fault with it.
This was because Cai Ling was too refined and his attitude was refined and courteous.
It seemed that he wanted to go by himself, and did not want to waste Lin Mengya's time.
But in this way, he also pointed out where Lin Mengya wanted to go, and did not offend the Holy Disciple.
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
He gave Lin Mengya a reassuring look, then turned around and got rid of the man without leaving a single trace.
"Miss …"
Shang'er called out uneasily behind her.
"It's okay, don't be afraid."
She knew that she would definitely be put in a difficult position by coming here.
But what surprised her was that it had already begun.
After passing through the fourth floor and arriving at the fifth floor, it was indeed a little different from the lower floor.
If the lower floors looked at least a little lively, then the fifth floor was really like a cold temple.
Even a bold girl like Shang'er could not help but shrink her neck.
"Miss, it's so cold here!"
She rubbed her arms. Lin Mengya knew that the reason why it was cold was not because the temperature was too low, but because it was lifeless, which made people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
Here, no one came out to welcome them.
When they entered the hall, they saw that there was a person sitting inside.
"Who are you?"
That person had a clean face and looked to be in his thirties. However, his eyes were too calm and tranquil.
If she hadn't heard the faint sound of breathing, she would have thought that the other party was just a cold puppet.
"This is the eldest daughter of the Gong family. May I know where we should report to?"
Even though she was panicking, Rou'er maintained a neutral expression, behaving exactly like her young miss.
The man carefully sized them up before asking in a cold voice.
"Do you have a name card?"
"Yes, please have a look."
Shang'er placed the Gong family's name card on the table. After the man grabbed it, he carefully examined it for a long time, but remained silent.
Lin Mengya had some doubts in her heart, but what happened before had also sounded an alarm in her.
No matter what was wrong, she immediately ran up the stairs.
The Ten Great Aristocratic Families were actually just a nice way of putting it. The number of people they could bribe was limited. If they really wanted to harm her, she was not afraid of fighting to the death.
At that time, no one would look good.
"Alright, Miss, please wait for a moment."
The man stood up and walked to the back of the hall.
Lin Mengya and Rou'er were a little surprised, but they still waited there obediently for a few minutes.
When the man came out again, he was holding a few things in his hands.
"This is your pass to enter and exit the Holy Temple. We will send the time of the Full Moon Festival to your residence later."
She saw the man take out a small jade token. There were no words on it, only a picture of a moon.
However, there was a small gap on the moon, and there were five clouds beside it.
She didn't know what it was, but Cai Ling had told her to come to the fifth floor, so it must be right.
"Thank you."
She thanked him and left with Shang'er.
However, Cai Ling was not on the third floor. When she reached the bottom, she saw the man standing beside the carriage, waiting for her.
"You got the Monthly Medallion?"
Lin Mengya showed the jade token to Cai Ling. The latter, obviously, heaved a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, we'll talk when we get back."
The two of them returned to the Gong family one after another. Along the way, Lin Mengya looked at the Monthly Medallion in her hands.
Seeing that Cai Ling attached great importance to it, it was obviously a very important thing.
However, the man said that it was just a certificate.
Unexpectedly, she met Long Tianhao at the door. He stood at the door, looked at her and smiled.
Lin Mengya was also very happy. She couldn't wait to jump off the carriage and go home with everyone.
"Why did you come at this time? Have you settled everything? "
Before Long Tianhao left, he said that he had something very important to deal with, so he might not come today.
Therefore, it was a surprise to Lin Mengya to see him here.
"I took a break from being busy, so I came out to check on you. After getting the Monthly Medallion, you can rest assured for the time being. Now, no one can stop you from attending the Full Moon Festival, no matter who it is. "
How did he know? She hadn't taken out the Monthly Medallion yet!
"How do you know everything?"
She blamed him coquettishly, but Long Tianhao just smiled and avoided her question.
Lin Mengya became more and more curious. What was this man hiding?
However, she had always trusted him. If he didn't say, she wouldn't ask.
"Your Highness."
Cai Ling also came over to greet him. His attitude was not quite the same as when he was with Lin Mengya. He seemed to be calmer and more natural to Long Tianhao.
It was strange. They had known each other before.
"Well, thank you for your hard work today."
"Not at all. It was Your Highness's good arrangement that prevented those people from getting what they wanted."
"Alright, I got it."
Listening to their conversation, it seemed that they were talking in riddles.
Lin Mengya was really angry. She sneaked her little hand to Long Tianhao's waist and pinched the soft part.
Unfortunately, Long Tianhao's expression didn't change. Everything was normal.
Lin Mengya didn't want to use too much strength. She could only snort angrily and turned into the inner courtyard to change her clothes.
Since they didn't want her to know, it was better for her to give them some time.
When she reappeared in front of Long Tianhao, Cai Ling was already gone.
"Where's Cai Ling?"
"I told him to go back and rest first. I say, can the two of us talk it over?"
"What?"
"Can you not pinch here next time? It hurts."
"You deserve it!"
Although Long Tianhao said it was a talk, he didn't seem to mind this kind of thing with his faint smile.
They looked at each other and smiled. At this point, they certainly had a tacit understanding that others envied.
"How did you feel in the Divine Hall today?"
Lin Mengya recalled everything that happened today and couldn't help but feel confused.
"You and Cai Ling made such an arrangement because you were afraid that I would be put in a difficult position and couldn't get the Monthly Token smoothly, right?"
Long Tianhao nodded. That was indeed the case.
"But it's useless for other families to get the Monthly Token except for me. So, someone wants to replace the Gong family, right? "
Her senses were really sharp. Even Long Tianhao was a little surprised.
However, if he could remember what happened in the past, he wouldn't be so surprised.
"Well, my people have received news. Someone wants to completely remove the Gong family from the position and replace the Gong family as one of the top ten aristocratic families. Fortunately, we came early, otherwise they would have succeeded. "
Lin Mengya was not worried about this at all.
Since Long Tianhao had already received such news, he would definitely take precautions.
He said this just to make her thank him.
They were already an old couple, why would they still play such tricks?
"Aren't you anxious?"
After waiting for a while, Long Tianhao couldn't help but ask when he didn't get the response he wanted.
He didn't expect his beloved wife to roll her eyes at him.
"If you joke like this again, believe it or not, I'll chase you out!"
She widened her eyes and waved her little fist threateningly.
Long Tianhao immediately showed an expression of fear, but there was a smile in his eyes.
"Alright, let's stop fooling around. Since you've got the Monthly Token, it's imperative that you represent the Gong family to participate in the Full Moon Sacrifice, regardless of whether the others are willing or not. Now, the only thing you have to do is to prepare the offerings for the Divine Hall. "
Offerings?
She immediately remembered what Aunt Lian told her. She didn't want to give her son away.
Not to mention the Divine Hall, even the Jade Emperor couldn't!
"Look at you, what are you thinking! Ning 'er is our child. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would give away my son for glory? "
He looked at her and knew what she was thinking.
Long Tianhao pinched her pink face in annoyance. Long Tianhao was defeated by her.
"The creation of the top ten aristocratic families not only depends on the strength of the families, but also on the offerings they give to the Divine Hall during the Full Moon Sacrifice. However, this offering was not something that just anyone could do. I've found some things for you, you can familiarize yourself with them. Perhaps it would come in handy when the time came. But if no one challenges you, these things won't be useful. "
"Challenge?" She was a little confused, and Long Tianhao began to explain in detail.
It turned out that after the creation of the top ten aristocratic families, according to the rules, they didn't have to offer offerings to the Divine Hall.
Of course, if they wanted to gain more power, the top ten aristocratic families could continue to offer offerings.
But at that time, the offerings would not be that simple.
As for the other aristocratic families, if they developed to a certain extent, they could compete with one of the top ten aristocratic families in terms of offerings during the Full Moon Sacrifice to see whose offerings were more precious and rare.
Once they won, they would be qualified as a substitute for the top ten aristocratic families.
