"I heard that the Divine Sanctum is about to hold a celebratory feast. Do you think the Temple Master will show up?"
"It's hard to say. I was there when the explosion happened. Even a deity could not escape, let alone a mortal.
I think it was something the Temple Master's wife did to stabilize the morale of the troops. "
Although there were all kinds of rumors in the market, it was not good news for the higher-ups of the various families.
They were there to split the benefits, and some of them even had ideas about the Temple Master's wife.
But when the Temple Master appeared again, they could not help but feel a sense of dread.
After all, back in Dragon Capital, the Temple Master's bravery and fearlessness had been deeply rooted in their hearts.
They were afraid that they would become the next rebel army to be wiped out by the Temple Master.
And none of them had the strength of the rebel army back then.
Only now did they realize how laughable they were when they were full of ambition at that time.
It was too late to admit defeat.
Run …
The rebel army ran fast, but in the end, they were still captured.
Suddenly, the people at the foot of the mountain fell into panic. They even wanted to find out what the Temple Master and the Temple Master's wife wanted at all costs.
Whether it was to admit defeat or to admit to other punishments, at least they were given a list so that they would know what to do.
But what they did not expect was that the Divine Sanctum was so tight-lipped this time.
The higher-ups could not see the lower-ups at all, and even if they did, it would be useless.
Especially a while ago, these people probably thought that the Divine Sanctum was finished, so they had made things difficult for the lower-level Holy Disciples.
Of course, it was also possible that they did not do it themselves.
But without their explicit or implicit instructions, the servants would not have dared to do it.
For a moment, everyone was filled with regret. But there were also a few families who felt a little happy.
The Ma Family and the Cheng Family had actually arrived a long time ago.
But their intentions were different from those who had thrown stones at them when they were down.
Putting aside their relationship with the Divine Sanctum, the two families were in the same boat with the Gong Family.
Gong Ya's loss of power meant that their interests would be affected, so the two families chose to stand on Gong Ya's side.
They had gathered many of their family members at the foot of the mountain, so that if the Holy Temple were to be besieged, they could lend a helping hand at the fastest speed.
Who would have thought that the young couple would actually give them such a huge surprise?
Therefore, three days before the banquet, Lin Mengya personally went down the mountain to invite the two seniors.
Unlike the previous two times, she didn't need to disguise herself this time. Instead, she went down the mountain in a sedan chair.
The appearance of the Madam of the Sacred Temple was naturally grand.
At the very least, the hundreds of Divine Palace Guards in charge of protecting him were not just for show.
With them around, those who tried to curry favor, get close, or even inquire about information were not allowed to come forward.
Lin Mengya only got out of the sedan chair when they arrived at the residence of Ma and Cheng.
"Take it easy, Madam." Deputy Palace Master Qin opened the curtain for Lin Mengya with a smile.
After alighting from the palanquin, she casually surveyed her surroundings and unsurprisingly, she received countless gazes of reverence.
When she thought of how these people had come to the Holy Temple, she felt a fire burning in her heart.
There was a thick-skinned person in the crowd who saw this and said with a smile, "Madam, congratulations on finally seeing the moon after the clouds have parted. I wonder when we will have the honor to see the Temple Lord's heavenly face?"
Lin Mengya didn't show any disrespect to such people.
"The Temple Master still needs to recuperate, he can't meet any guests for the time being."
A shadow flashed across the man's eyes, but he still said respectfully, "I wish the Temple Master a speedy recovery. I wonder if we can meet during the celebration banquet?"
Lin Mengya smiled, "His Highness will definitely attend the celebration banquet, but I don't know if you will have the chance to meet him."
The man's expression changed.
Lin Mengya didn't waste any more time talking to him and walked into the courtyard where the Cheng and Ma families were temporarily staying.
Ha, did he think that everyone had the right to attend her celebration banquet?
She didn't want to care about the situation outside for the time being.
She had to entertain everyone at the celebration banquet, but from now on, she had to select suitable people to attend.
This time, she had the intention to give this opportunity to the Ma family and the Cheng family, even though it might offend some people, but it was more likely that she would owe them a big favor.
Therefore, when she brought it up, the two patriarchs of the Ma Family and the Cheng Family were a little surprised.
"Master Gong, is what you said true?"
Ma Lian widened his eyes and looked at her in disbelief.
Lin Mengya nodded with a smile and said, "Of course it's true. Why would I make a special trip to joke with you two elders?"
It was no wonder that Ma Lian had such a reaction.
Even Cheng Rusong, who had always been calm, felt as if he was dreaming.
One should know that one-third of the aristocratic families in Wei Country were gathered at the foot of the mountain.
Putting aside the people who might be offended, if the two families could seize the opportunity under such circumstances, the influence of the Ma and Cheng families would be raised to a higher level.
Although they might not be as powerful as the Gong family, they were much stronger than the so-called top ten aristocratic families!
Ma Lian could not help but feel puzzled. In the end, it was Ma Lian who endured his heartache and asked, "Lass, if you just want to test us, you don't have to do this.
Although Old Cheng and I are not good people, we are definitely not the kind of people who go back on their word.
Whether it's you or the Temple Master, you are both worthy of our friendship, so … "
Lin Mengya looked at his reluctant face and did not know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "Uncle Ma, what are you talking about? Even if I want to test them, I can't use this kind of thing to test the two of you."
Cheng Rusong frowned slightly and said, "But this is a good opportunity to win the hearts of the people. If the Gong family does this, I'm afraid that no aristocratic family in Wei Country will be able to compete with the Gong family from now on.
Master Gong, have you thought this through? "
So this was what they were worried about!
Seeing this, Lin Mengya smiled and explained to the two elders.
"Indeed, if this is done by the Gong family, then from now on, these people will follow the Gong family's lead."
Ma Lian and Cheng Rusong nodded.
However, Lin Mengya changed the topic and continued, "The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. The Gong family is currently in the limelight and developing too quickly. Although we have a foundation, this is not in line with the Gong family's steady and steady style.
Wind.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. If the Gong family becomes strong, many people will be worried.
So, instead of letting the Gong family take the risk, I think it's better to give this opportunity to our most solid ally. "
Ma Lian and Cheng Rusong could not help but be shocked.
This meant that the Gong family and the Divine Temple really treated them as one of their own.
In this way, no matter what benefits the Gong family and the Divine Temple would get, they would be able to use their identity as partners to occupy a position.
For a moment, all sorts of feelings welled up in the two of them. They were glad that they had made the right bet.
Since it had come to this, Ma Lian and Cheng Rusong did not argue anymore.
In particular, Ma Lian, who was more extroverted, immediately beamed and said, "Damn it! I knew that the Gong family would never owe us anything! "
Looking at his old friend's beaming face, Cheng Rusong could not help but pour cold water on him.
"I think with your temper, I'm afraid you can't do such a meticulous job. In this case, leave this matter to the Cheng family!"
Ma Lian immediately glared at his old friend and said, "What are you talking about? You didn't let me go to the war last time. This time, do you want to take all the credit and be in the limelight? Bah, no way! "
"Look at your old arms and legs. I'm afraid that you'll embarrass yourself on the battlefield."
Cheng Rusong lied with a calm face.
Ma Lian had a firecracker's temper. He immediately pointed at his old friend's nose and scolded, "You're three years older than me. Why don't we go out and have a competition now? Whoever loses will call the other grandfather!"
Cheng Rusong touched his chin and said quietly, "My boy, my wife has been home for a long time. When I go back this time, I will be a grandfather.
Since you're so pitiful, I won't take advantage of you this time. "
When it came to arguing, Ma Lian would never be a match for Cheng Rusong.
Lin Mengya just watched them with a smile on her face.
These two old friends were so interesting.
It was undeniable that no matter how much they scolded each other, they were partners who could entrust their backs to each other at critical moments.
For the Gong family, they just lacked such partners.
But now it seemed that the Ma family and the Cheng family were really trustworthy.
She narrowed her eyes and smiled even more happily.
After entrusting everything to the two elders, Lin Mengya left them two tokens, which could allow them to move freely in the Sacred Hall.
"Seniors, no matter what you need here, you can go to the Sacred Hall to get it.
With this, you don't have to report to me all the time. You can just send someone to get it. "
Unexpectedly, the two refused to accept it, especially Ma Lian, who refused to accept it. He said with a fierce face, "What do you think we are, girl? We've already taken advantage of you. How can we let you take it? "
Cheng Rusong had the same idea, but he persuaded Ma Lian to leave the token.
Moreover, he said to Lin Mengya, "We can leave it here to prove the deep friendship between our three families. As for the rest, you don't have to worry about it."
As soon as he said that, Ma Lian immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Girl, that's what I mean.
With this, we can be considered to have a legitimate reason to do so.
But you don't have to worry about anything else. Although Old Cheng and I are not as rich as you, we still have some. "
