Both Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao were experienced people and had seen all kinds of wonders in the world.
However, the palace in front of them still made them exclaim in admiration. Perhaps only the craftsmen of the heavens could create such a magnificent spectacle.
As they got closer and closer, an ancient and majestic aura followed.
Lin Mengya was slightly lost in thought as she looked at the vague carvings on the beams.
"What's wrong?"
Long Tianhao couldn't help but ask when he saw her stop.
Lin Mengya didn't know why she had such a complicated feeling.
Maybe she was amazed by the wisdom of the predecessors.
"Nothing."
They followed the man into the palace.
From the outside, they could only see the magnificence of the palace. But when they went inside, they understood what the man meant.
The palace was divided into countless courtyards by various corridors.
There were people walking around in a hurry, but they didn't look at them when they saw them.
Was this the real Inner Palace?
"Both of you, please follow me."
The man who was in charge of leading the way handed them over to another person and then left.
After bowing to them, the man explained.
"Master, Madam, the rules of the Inner Palace are strict. I'll lead the way for you."
After walking through several corridors, they changed the guide again.
She looked back and saw that the man went back the way he came.
It seemed that there was a strict hierarchy here.
Even the people who served in the Inner Palace had to strictly follow the rules and were not allowed to act without permission.
Fortunately, they didn't need to change the guide this time.
The man directly led them to a courtyard, bowed to them and said, "The Elders are inside. Please go in."
After that, the man left.
Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao were a little tired, but they still cheered up and went inside.
"Master, Madam, you must be tired. The Elders have been waiting for a long time. Please come with me."
A servant in lavender came to greet them and wanted to take Long Tianhao's wheelchair, but Lin Mengya refused.
They didn't know why they came to the Inner Palace this time. They had to be cautious in this unfamiliar place.
The other party did not say anything and directly sent the two of them to the main hall of the courtyard.
This should be a meeting place. When the people inside heard the commotion outside, they could not help but ask, "Is it the Temple Lord and Madam?"
The attendant immediately replied, "Yes, Elder Dong."
"Yes, please come in."
Both Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao could not figure out each other's intentions.
As soon as he entered, he saw four groups of people sitting around a hexagonal table.
The four people at the table were dressed in blue, red, yellow, and black clothes.
After seeing the two of them, the man in blue and yellow clothes immediately stood up and said politely, "Dong Chengfeng of the East Academy greets the Hall Master and Madam."
The short and fat elder in the yellow robe was quite friendly.
"West Dean's Elder Song Jiuci greets Temple Master and Madam."
This man's surname was also Song.
The two of them immediately thought of Elder Song Yingkui, who they had secretly formed a cooperative relationship with.
The elder of the West Courtyard looked at the two and whispered, "Song Yingkui is a junior of my family."
Lin Mengya immediately understood what he meant.
It turned out that the person who had been secretly supporting Song Yingkui was this Elder Song Jiuci.
He nodded at the two of them in a reserved manner. They did not reveal any unnecessary emotions.
The other two didn't get up. They just glanced at them coldly.
"East courtyard, West courtyard, why did you bring them here?"
The red-robed elder showed some dissatisfaction.
The friendly West Courtyard Elder smiled and said, "South Courtyard, the Hexagon Palace was originally meant for us to discuss matters. Now that the Great Elder isn't here and we can't decide who's better, we naturally need the support of the Hall Master and Madam. "
Hexagon Palace was the name on the plaque hanging outside.
Lin Mengya thought to herself, "Sure enough, they have become the bargaining chips for the elders to fight for power."
Fortunately, Song Yingkui had sent a message to them in advance. Otherwise, they would have been caught unprepared this time.
Thinking of this, the two of them didn't panic and just quietly watched the fight.
"Humph! The Holy Hall is the Holy Hall, and the Inner Hall is the Inner Hall. They haven't even dealt with their own affairs. What right do they have to interfere with the affairs of the Inner Hall? "
The red-robed South Courtyard Elder was so arrogant.
From his words and actions, it could be seen that he didn't take Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao seriously at all.
"You can't say that." The West Courtyard Elder continued to persuade them with kind words.
"Before entering the Inner Hall, we also came out from the Holy Hall. The Holy Hall and the Inner Hall are one. This is a fact that no one can deny. "
But the South Courtyard Elder was still stubborn and disdainful.
"Even so, the affairs of the Inner Hall are not under their jurisdiction.
Go back to where you came from. You're not welcome here! "
The words of the Elder of the South Courtyard really didn't leave any face for them.
Lin Mengya smiled and asked, "May I ask who first invited us here?"
The East Courtyard Elder's face darkened, but he still said, "It was me."
"Okay, then I'll tell you." She looked at the East Courtyard Elder and said word by word clearly.
"May I ask, before you invited us here, did you tell the other three people?"
The East Courtyard Elder nodded, but he was also angry.
The South Courtyard Elder was not right.
When he brought it up, they didn't say anything, so he naturally took it as acquiescence.
Who would have thought that the South Courtyard Elder would do this?
Now, where was he going to put his face?
"In this case, the South Courtyard Elder and the North Courtyard Elder are also aware of it. You didn't stop us before, but now you embarrass us. Why, do you think we're easy to bully? "
Lin Mengya had gained some reputation in the Inner Hall for killing Ying Long.
At least Song Yingkui and the man with a hooked nose behind the scenes must know that she was not to be trifled with.
As expected, her question made the South Courtyard Elder squint his eyes.
"What do you mean by that? This is the Inner Hall, a woman can't behave atrociously! "
"What a joke! Your food and clothing are now provided by the Gong Family's big chamber of commerce. What, you want to destroy the bridge after crossing the river? "
The elder of the South Courtyard was obviously unable to adapt to her arrogant tone. He slammed the table and stood up.
"What can the Gong family do? Without the Holy Temple, you wouldn't be here today! "
Lin Mengya was not afraid of him.
Immediately, he retorted bluntly.
"Why does the Temple have a Temple Master, but the Inner Temple only has a Great Elder? You guys really know.
Why don't we know anything? "
She glared at him: "The Inner Hall is the inner hall of the Temple, and the Temple Master is the master of the entire Temple! Now that Head Elder isn't around, I think you guys are starting to forget your roots! "
The four elders did not expect Lin Mengya to know these secrets of the inner palace.
Of course, this was all thanks to the old Hall Master's master's reply.
The Inner Sanctum used to be an institution for the elderly of the Holy Sanctum. It was only after certain events that it gained the authority of a "cabinet".
However, in terms of authority, no matter how powerful these people were, they should not be able to surpass the Hall Master.
However, these matters had long been forgotten in the dust of history.
Even the previous Temple Master's Master had seen it in the ancient records of Temple's history.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
The Elder of the South Courtyard looked a little flustered and exasperated. He pointed at Lin Mengya and was about to scold her.
At this moment, he heard a cold voice.
"Take your hand back."
The Elder of the South Courtyard was shocked.
It was just a short sentence, but it gave him a feeling of trepidation.
"You …"
"Elder Chang, you'd better be quiet."
The Elder of the North Courtyard, who was sitting at the side, narrowed his eyes and looked at the man sitting in the wheelchair.
He did not know why, but he always felt that this man had an imposing manner that made him a little afraid.
"Komondo of the North Courtyard greets the Temple Master."
The Elder of the North Courtyard was a foreigner. He was tall and burly. Although his hair was white and he was silent, he was the one with the most explosive temper among the four people present.
However, even he showed weakness to Long Tianhao.
The Elder of the South Courtyard, who could not do anything alone, was even more furious.
"Komondo! I'm warning you, don't think of burning the bridge after crossing the river! "
But the Elder of the North Courtyard just glanced at him lightly: "If you want to die, please continue."
After that, he sat back in his seat.
The situation suddenly changed from being evenly matched to fighting alone.
In the end, it was the Elder of the West Courtyard who came out to smooth things over.
"I'm sorry, Madam. The Elder of the South Courtyard is like this. Please don't lower yourself to his level."
Lin Mengya was not a pushover.
She glanced coldly at the Elder of the West Courtyard: "It seems that the Elder of the South Courtyard likes to eat dragonfruit recently. Although it is delicious, eating too much of it will cause internal heat. Don't eat it from next month onwards. "
The Elder of the South Courtyard was stunned, and then immediately shouted angrily: "You, who do you think you are? It's not your turn to make decisions here!"
One must know that the Excellent Dragon Fruit was a good thing.
They lived in the belly of the mountain all year round, and they more or less had some small illnesses.
And the dragonfruit was just right to cure their illnesses. It was just that this thing was too seasonal. In the past, there were only a few of them that were shipped back.
Now, the quantity of the dragonfruit sent by the Holy Temple had increased a lot, and the quality was good.
How could the Elder of the South Courtyard be willing to stop suddenly!
Lin Mengya said calmly: "I can't make decisions for you, but I can make decisions for the Chamber of Commerce. By the way, I'm subsidizing this thing out of my own pocket.
If the Elder of the South Courtyard doesn't believe me, you can ask outside. "
Just now, the Elder of the South Courtyard was so angry that he did not take her words to heart.
Now that he heard her mention the Chamber of Commerce again, the Elder of the South Courtyard was secretly shocked.
Although they were in the inner hall, they were not ignorant of the situation outside. On the contrary, no matter what happened to Weiguo, they would always receive the news in time.
