From the fifth floor to the sixth floor, they had to walk a whole floor of stairs.
Shang'er said that the layout of the sixth floor was similar to the fifth floor, and Ning'er was taken to the ninth floor the same day he came up.
This made Lin Mengya temporarily give up on the idea of secretly visiting her son. Although she was reluctant, she had to bear with it for now.
Fortunately, they lived together every day, and The Lord liked him very much, so they did not have to worry about Ning'er's safety for the time being.
She thought that they would have to sneak up, but unexpectedly, Shang'er led her to the darkest corner of the fifth floor.
Because the mountain was excavated, it could not be neatly made, and all parts were embedded into the mountain.
Basically, no one would come here because there was no sunlight all year round.
Therefore, it was made into a small ornamental garden, which was planted with plants that liked the shade.
They crouched in the flowers, which were half the height of a person, and slowly moved inside.
Lin Mengya was curious as she walked. Normally, there would be many poisonous insects in such a place.
However, Xiao Yao was quiet and did not even sound the alarm.
The Holy Temple was indeed strange.
"Miss, we are here!"
Shang'er pulled her hand and quickly ran to a mountain wall with her waist bent.
Her small hands groped up and down for a moment. She also knew how she did it, and a hole silently opened up in the mountain wall.
She looked at the pitch-black cave entrance and watched as Shang'er drilled into it with ease. She immediately followed after her.
It was dark inside the hole, and after searching for a long time, Shang'er found a lighted match.
Then, she touched the cave wall again.
Then, the door closed again.
"Alright, let's go!"
Shang'er seemed to be relieved. After all, there was almost no risk of being discovered here.
Lin Mengya looked around. Although the light from the match was limited, she could still see that the stone wall was very smooth, and the stairs were very stable.
It seemed that this was a secret passage hidden in the mountain.
"How did you find this place?"
She was a little curious, but because the existence of the Holy Temple itself was surprising enough, she was not surprised to see this secret passage.
Shang'er turned her head and said with some excitement, "Xie Han told me about this. He also said that this tunnel can connect to the eleventh floor above and the first floor below. However, he had to be careful. After all, the location of the door is uncertain. Other than his floor, only the fifth floor is more hidden. "
It seemed like this lass took Xie Han's words as an imperial edict.
Based on the current situation, since this passageway could connect to the first eleven levels, it meant that it was quite useful.
Since that was the case, the door should be opened in a more secluded place.
And looking at the current situation, it was obvious that the people from the Holy Temple did not know about the existence of this thing.
But why didn't it open to the twelfth level?
Was it because there was no one up there, so they didn't need it?
Lin Mengya felt that there was something strange about this matter, but it was not the right time to continue asking about it.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance to the sixth floor.
Shang'er was very cautious. She pressed her ear against the crack of the stone door and carefully listened for a while before carefully opening the mechanism.
Subconsciously, she pulled Shang'er along and disappeared into the darkness.
This way, even if someone was outside, it would be difficult for them to be discovered immediately.
The door opened and some movements could be heard from outside.
Lin Mengya was a little nervous and clasped the crossbow in her sleeve.
Unexpectedly, a person leaned against the door and poked half of his body into the room.
He was holding a lamp in his hand and Lin Mengya could see the person's face clearly.
"Master! Why did you come in person? "
Before she could speak, Shang'er ran out from behind her.
She ran to the man's side and instinctively wanted to support him, but the man dodged her.
Then, the man looked her up and down a few times and the nervousness on his face eased.
"Why did you come back so late? Do you know how dangerous it is outside now? If you were caught, I wouldn't have come to save you! "
The moment he opened his mouth, he reprimanded her.
The sharp-tongued lass in front of her now had her head lowered and her attitude of admitting her guilt was very good.
Lin Mengya stood not far away and was in a good mood.
If that fellow's first question had been Shang'er's whereabouts instead of showing concern for her little lass, she would have definitely taken Shang'er and left without a care for what kind of cooperation he had with her.
"Alright, Master, I'm fine now. Don't worry, it's so cold outside, it's not good for your health. Let me help you back, okay? "
It was probably not the first time Shang'er was reprimanded. She stuck out her tongue and looked playful.
Xie Han really couldn't do anything about her. Seeing that she came back safely, she was more than half worried.
At this time, Lin Mengya felt embarrassed and cleared her throat.
She didn't want to stand here and eat hot dog food in the middle of the night.
"Ah! I forgot! Master, this is my Miss! "
Shang'er immediately blushed and didn't dare to help Xie Han casually. She could only stand between them obediently and introduce her to them.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Master. You're still as elegant as ever."
She stepped out of the darkness. Her beautiful little face, under the dim light, did not diminish in the slightest.
But there was a little shyness in Xie Han's eyes.
She stiffened her neck and turned her head. After a few fake coughs, she pretended to be calm.
"Greetings, Miss Gong."
He exposed her real identity. In fact, Lin Mengya didn't think that her previous disguise could fool him for long.
But Shang'er was anxious and immediately explained, "Miss, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything!"
Lin Mengya didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What was this girl thinking?
Unexpectedly, Xie Han's expression changed slightly and said very seriously.
"This is what I found out myself, it has nothing to do with Shang'er. You, you can't blame her. "
Ha, before she entered the door, she became the enemy first.
Lin Mengya now understood why the father-in-law and son-in-law would be especially angry when they met like enemies.
The treasure that they raised for so long was now in the hands of others, but they didn't even let her see it. How could she not be angry?
"I don't understand what the owner is saying. Shang'er is mine, what she thinks is also my business. "
She said seriously, but unexpectedly, Xie Han glared at her for a few seconds and then held Shang'er's hand.
"Give her to me, I'll pay any price! Even if you want the entire Qingwei Guild, I'll give it to you! "
"Master!"
Shang'er was moved, but Lin Mengya frowned.
Childish, too childish!
"Not to mention that I don't have much use for your Qingwei Guild, if you don't have Qingwei Guild, how are you going to support my Shang'er? Young people, you have to think twice before you act. Besides, do I look like the kind of person who would break up an affectionate couple? "
Lin Mengya said sincerely, and the two people were fooled by her.
Then, it was still Shang'er who reacted first and looked at her miss in surprise.
Did she … pass?
"Miss, thank you for your help. Miss, Shang'er knows her mistake."
"Shang'er, you don't have to … help? Miss Gong, you agree? "
The two of them were really a match made in heaven, their idiotic reactions were exactly the same.
Lin Mengya nodded gently. What else could she do if she didn't help?
If Shang'er died for love later, wouldn't she regret it to death?
"Alright, what are we standing here for? Let's go."
In the middle of the night, she was stuffed with a mouth full of dog food, and now she only felt lonely in the cold wind.
Shang'er was also a little embarrassed, and followed behind her miss.
After leaving the garden, someone came to meet them.
And it was an old acquaintance.
"Greetings, Miss Gong."
Taoist Yurong was dressed in plain clothes at this moment, giving off a sense of immortality.
Lin Mengya nodded and smiled at him.
She then realized that the place they appeared this time was the back wall of a house.
No wonder Taoist Yurong was dressed in white, it turned out that he was not afraid of being discovered.
The few of them walked through the garden and came to the main hall.
It was a little quiet in the courtyard, and apart from the four of them, she didn't see any servants.
They sat down, Shang'er served her a cup of tea, and then stood behind her obediently.
Lin Mengya felt a little better, fortunately, this girl had not completely betrayed him.
After taking a sip of tea, she spoke leisurely.
"May I know why the owner asked Shang'er and you to pretend to be husband and wife?"
She had heard about this from Yurong before, but she did not ask about it in detail.
Hearing her words, Taoist Yurong was just about to speak, but was stopped by Xie Han.
"Not in disguise, but a real husband and wife."
"Oh? In that case, you should not involve Shang'er in this. The affairs of your family are not that simple, are they? "
Her tone was a little fierce, and she raised the corner of her eyes to look at Xie Han and Taoist Yurong.
"Miss Gong, you misunderstood. In fact, my owner only hopes to be with Shang'er for a long time. To be honest, this time the owner came to the Holy Hall to take over the Qingwei Guild. "
Taoist Yurong was afraid that the negotiation would break down, and immediately came out to reconcile.
Hearing his words, Lin Mengya felt that this matter was not simple.
"I don't want to be involved in the internal affairs of your Qingwei Guild. I can agree to your request if you like Shang'er. But I don't approve of you involving her in the quarrel between you. I think you should be able to understand what I mean. "
Shang'er did not speak, because she knew that Lin Mengya was doing this for her own good.
On the other side, Xie Han was silent.
Taoist Yurong looked at his master, and did not know what to say.
"I hope that she can become the real wife of the owner."
After a long time, Xie Han said firmly.
He clenched his hands tightly, and his mouth was pressed into a straight line.
