After the Great Elder came in with his men, the Deputy Temple Master's anxious expression finally eased a little.
"Why are you so late? Could it be that the Great Elder is unwilling to help me? "
The Great Elder immediately said with a flattering smile, "Please don't misunderstand, Deputy Temple Master. Alas, I just had some small matters to deal with just now. I was afraid that I would delay your work due to the lack of manpower, so I came a little late. Please forgive me, Deputy Temple Master."
The two of them were originally in cahoots with each other. Even though the Vice Hall Master felt that his status was slightly higher than the First Elder's, he had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction now that he was in need of manpower. With a calm expression, he said, "First Elder is too kind. It seems that I have misunderstood."
The Great Elder and the Deputy Temple Master exchanged some pleasantries, and the Deputy Temple Master could not wait to get to the point.
"I told you last time that even if I can't catch that person, I have a suitable replacement. Now, he is in my hands."
Hearing this, the First Elder immediately congratulated him, "Aiyaya, this is great news. It seems that Deputy Temple Lord is destined to be on your side. Whether it is the right time, place, or people, everything is on your side. This time, you will definitely succeed!"
Everyone liked to hear compliments, especially at this critical moment. The Great Elder's words were exactly what the Deputy Temple Master was thinking.
"It's all thanks to the Great Elder's help. Without your help, I'm afraid that I would have to spend more effort this time."
These words were a warning to the Deputy Temple Master not to let the Great Elder be arrogant.
The Great Elder nodded repeatedly. In fact, he despised the Deputy Temple Master's character.
However, he only needed the benefits that the Deputy Temple Master offered him. He did not care about anything else.
Long Tianhao followed behind the Great Elder. He looked at Ling Ye calmly, but in fact, they had already recognized each other through their eyes.
He quickly left the Great Elder and the Deputy Temple Master's sight without attracting the Great Elder's and the Deputy Temple Master's attention.
It was as difficult to hypnotize Ling Ye as it was to hypnotize the Deputy Temple Master.
Therefore, the Great Elder still had the same idea as before. He wanted to control Ling Ye by superimposing his Pupil Sorcery with the other clansmen.
However, Lin Mengya had taken the initiative last time, so Long Tianhao had the same idea this time.
However, he didn't have Ya 'er's ability, so he could only secretly request the Great Elder to release all the control of the pupil technique at the last moment.
In this way, the Vice Palace Master would definitely think that Ling Ye was already under his control. However, in reality, Ling Ye was still clear-headed like his master.
Furthermore, the Vice Palace Master, who did not know any Eye Techniques, would not know about it. In this way, they could secretly work together from the outside.
Everything went smoothly, except for the Deputy Hall Master who was called out at the final stage.
Long Tianhao asked the Great Elder to control the rest of the clansmen and woke Ling Ye up.
"Your Highness!"
As expected, Ling Ye had already recognized him. He opened his eyes and said in a low voice, "This subordinate is useless and has implicated you."
"Alright, there's no need to be so courteous between us brothers. Let me ask you, did you find any suspicious people recently when you were here? Or are there other unfamiliar faces in this Holy Temple? "
It wasn't normal for the Deputy Hall Master to be unable to fight back the moment he made a move.
Moreover, after the previous incident, the Holy Temple had already carried out a great purge. Whether it was those who were disloyal to his master or the spies planted by other forces, they had all been eliminated by his master.
As for the remaining spies, it could be said that they were not loyal to his master.
They might not be loyal to their master, but they would not rely on others in such a short period of time.
Therefore, he felt that someone was behind this, or that there were people from other forces secretly helping the Deputy Hall Master.
Ling Ye thought quickly and said, "There are some unfamiliar faces around the Deputy Hall Master, but some of them are very suspicious. Moreover, they are all women, young women."
Women? Long Tianhao was a little suspicious.
Perhaps they were sent by someone to show their filial piety, or some people used their beauty to draw the Deputy Hall Master to their side.
"What's so special about these women that you mentioned?"
"They all like to dress up as men, and they usually don't show their true faces. Even the Deputy Hall Master has to be polite to these people. It seems that he is afraid of some people. "
That was strange. He had never heard of any women with different identities coming to the Holy Temple.
Moreover, if these people had appeared before, his master would definitely have noticed them.
It seemed that everything would have to wait until after he rescued his master before he could make any further plans.
"Oh yes, how are you feeling? Did the Deputy Hall Master do anything to you? "
What Long Tianhao was most worried about was that the Deputy Hall Master would be desperate and use Ling Ye as a substitute for his body.
However, Ling Ye looked a little hesitant and said, "The Deputy Hall Master doesn't seem to like Long Yang."
Suddenly, Long Tianhao felt that he couldn't bear to look at Ling Ye. He was anxious and didn't make it clear.
"It's not that. Sigh, it's just whether he poisoned you or asked you to do something strange."
Ling Ye finally reacted and couldn't help but feel ashamed. Fortunately, he didn't learn anything else from His Highness, but he was good at facial paralysis.
"He didn't do that, but he often made me soak in a kind of medicine. The smell of the medicine was very unpleasant, but the Deputy Hall Master made me soak in it every day. If I didn't obey him, he would lock me in a barrel and only let me out after soaking in it for a long time. "
Long Tianhao thought that it was true!
The Deputy Hall Master had coveted the position of the Deputy Hall Master for many years. How could he watch as the position of the Deputy Hall Master fell into someone else's hands and he couldn't really replace him?
However, it shouldn't be that easy for him to take over Ling Ye's body. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so anxious to ask the Great Elder to control Ling Ye.
"When he comes back later, pretend to be under his control. Remember, don't go against what he says. But if you find out that he wants to do something bad to you, think of a way to escape. I've already found Wuchen. He's in a good condition now. I've already told him the plan. When the time comes, we'll escape together! "
Obedience to His Highness was deeply rooted in Ling Ye's bones.
Moreover, he knew that His Highness had never forgotten them, so he was even more determined to die for those who understood him.
Long Tianhao patted Ling Ye's shoulder gently. Ling Ye was already dustless. They were all brothers who had gone through fire and water with him. Their friendship would allow them to entrust their lives to each other forever.
On Long Tianhao's side, everything went smoothly.
Although Lin Mengya was worried, she knew her husband's ability very well.
Moreover, Ling Ye was not an ordinary person. This time, the Deputy Palace Master had suffered a double loss. It was destined that he would not be able to obtain anything.
Just as she was deep in thought, she suddenly saw the silhouette of a Vice Hall Master not far away.
Her instincts told her that now.
The Vice Hall Master should be by Ling Ye's side, just like the last time when the Hall Master was controlled.
For a paranoid and manipulative person like the Deputy Hall Master, he would never be at ease if he wasn't sure that the person was truly under his control.
But why was he here now?
She followed him quietly. With the help of the System, she could detect the Deputy Hall Master's every move from far away. Therefore, she was not in danger of being discovered.
She saw the Deputy Hall Master enter a courtyard deep in the Temple. This courtyard was very well hidden and did not look like a part of the Temple.
She was alone and did not barge in rashly. Instead, she waited outside and used the System to spy on him.
This was strange. Although this courtyard was inconspicuous, the security was very tight. Fortunately, she did not follow him. Otherwise, she would have been discovered.
After waiting patiently for a while, the System suddenly alerted her that someone was approaching.
She thought that she had been discovered and immediately walked further away. She tried to pretend that she was just taking a stroll while thinking about how to escape.
She felt that the other party would not be alerted by her current situation.
After all, she was so far away. How could an ordinary person follow someone like this?
However, she did not expect that the person she met was not an enemy, but an awkward and hesitant young man.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
The young man had obviously followed her here. Therefore, his words seemed to be trying to hide something.
Lin Mengya did not let her guard down just because he looked harmless. She asked in return, "Then what are you doing here?"
"I-I'm just taking a stroll!"
The young man seemed a little unconfident.
He had followed her here. He had wanted to talk to her about something, but only found out that she was here after asking someone else.
He did not expect to bump into her while walking. He was at a loss for a moment.
"Since we're just taking a stroll, let's go to the side and have a chat."
The young man had something on his mind. Since Lin Mengya had seen through him, he did not continue to hide it. Instead, he obediently followed her to the side that was closer to the Temple.
Lin Mengya looked around. This was a secluded place and no one was coming over. She said in a low voice, "Alright, there's only the two of us here. You can say whatever you want. I'll just listen."
These few "whatever" made the young man even more at a loss.
However, the doubts in his heart were so heavy that he could not breathe. Moreover, he could not find the right person, so he could only say sullenly, "You said that the Great Elder might be doing something behind our backs. I want to know what he is doing."
It seemed that the young man had gone to test the Great Elder as she had said before.
However, he did not know what had happened to make the young man suspicious of the Great Elder.
"How would I know? Maybe it's like what you said. I've misunderstood the Great Elder?"
"Don't hide it from me anymore. I know everything!"
The young man shouted out without a care, but Lin Mengya covered his mouth with her hand.
"Lower your voice! If the Great Elder hears you, he'll kill you! "
She did not think that she was threatening the young man. She just wanted to teach him a valuable lesson in his poor life.
It was better to look at an idol. If it was too close, it was easy to be disillusioned.
