Li Ya's feelings towards his nominal sister, who was actually his uncle, were quite deep.
"Master Gong should know about my family's situation, right?"
It was his suggestion to let Li Wu Shuang go to the Divine Temple for help.
However, his father didn't raise any objections.
His father and grandfather had always regarded Li Wu Shuang's secret as extremely important.
This was not only because Li Wu Shuang was their relative, but more importantly, if the Celestial Being knew about it, what awaited the Li family would be a disaster.
Therefore, when his father agreed to his suggestion, it was tantamount to putting the fate of the entire Li family in Gong Ya's hands.
Fortunately, he didn't make a mistake.
And his father, who had always been bold and careful, didn't lose this time.
Lin Mengya nodded and didn't say anything else. Instead, she asked about his next plan.
"My injuries are no longer a hindrance. I want to go back and save my clansmen."
Li Ao was already burning with anxiety.
After he left with his people, although he couldn't rush in to save his clansmen, he didn't stop monitoring them.
At the same time, he also diverted part of his attention to the internal affairs of the Gu family.
Lin Mengya held him down and disagreed, "I think the most important thing now is for you to recover from your injuries. What happens next depends on yourselves. His Highness and I can only lend you a hand. "
The Gu family was an independent entity. Without absolute certainty, she couldn't take over the role of host.
Once it fermented into a conflict between the Gu family and the Elders Association, she would become the enemy of the entire Gu family.
If the Li family solved it themselves, it would become a conflict within the Gu family. Naturally, there would be people who would oppose it.
She understood this principle.
"But I don't have the ability, and I don't have the prestige."
Li Ao helplessly looked at his own hands, hating his own incompetence.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and said, "Have you heard of 'fortune-telling'?"
Li Ao nodded, but his eyes were filled with doubt.
"I have heard the elders of the clan mention it. But our Li family doesn't object to intermarriage with other clans, so we don't have many fortune-tellers."
"What if they join hands with you? What do you think?"
Li Ao was stunned.
After deep contemplation, he deliberated before opening his mouth.
"I only heard that because these divination people aren't recognized by the upper flux clan, after they are born, they aren't allowed to meet their relatives in the ancient clan.
My grandfather's generation still had some contact with them, and I heard that the clan's attitude at that time had softened quite a bit. As long as they chose to leave their own family, they could marry outside.
Later on, for some reason, it became stricter and stricter, and they even did some bad things. "
Li Ao was a gentleman. There were some things that he couldn't say out loud.
However, Lin Mengya only needed to know the attitude of the aboriginals towards these fortune-tellers.
A few decades ago, there had been some internal strife among the aboriginals.
From the looks of it, there were actually quite a few who wished to reunite with their own flesh and blood, right?
What about their parents and relatives?
There were definitely some who were thinking about their children outside.
Even if it was only a small portion of them, they usually didn't dare to show it.
However, these people were also other people's husbands, wives, brothers, and sisters.
Since that was the case, this matter was much easier to handle.
"That's enough. To tell you the truth, those fortune-tellers aren't doing too well. They were even secretly captured and sent to an iron mine to do hard labor."
She did not hide the matter of the refined iron ore from Li.
Ao.
The mine was here, and she couldn't move it away.
Instead of wasting energy to cover it up, it was better to let the Li family know that they were the closest to the mine and could help her take care of it in the future.
After listening to her story, Li Ao felt even worse in his heart.
Perhaps it was because he could empathize with the fortune-tellers, but he felt more sympathy for them and indignation towards those heartless people.
"How could these people do this? Fortune-Tellers are also human beings! Even if their parents were wrong to give birth to them, what did they do wrong? "
"I think that everyone should have the right to choose the person they want to spend the rest of their life with," Lin Mengya said to Li Ao seriously.
Li Ao looked into her eyes, and his heart stirred.
There seemed to be something quietly budding.
Perhaps he didn't understand now, but he would definitely be shocked in the future.
"I don't think those who courageously pursue their love are wrong. As long as it doesn't violate conscience and morality, those unreasonable rules should not be obeyed at all.
Do you think that the people of the Li family are born to be tools for other people to make fun of? "
Her rhetorical question made something in Li Ao's heart burst out.
"Everyone should be their own master when they are born. We come in naked, and we leave naked. The only thing we hold tightly in our hands is our own destiny.
But if even this is taken away, what do we have left? "
She was never at a loss.
Because she always knew where the road under her feet was going to lead.
Even if she felt sleepy for a moment, she would be determined to move forward towards her goal.
She was unarmed, but she could firmly grasp her own destiny.
At this moment, Li Ao finally understood why those people were subdued by her.
Perhaps it was because they were unwilling.
They were unwilling to live a life that was predestined; unwilling to extinguish all their desires; unwilling to become a puppet in someone's hands.
"I, I want to meet them."
Li Ao suddenly had an urge to do so.
He wanted to see with his own eyes how these people, who were destined to be abandoned by fate from the moment they were born, fought against it.
Lin Mengya smiled.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
If everything went well, Li Ao and Huo Xiao would definitely be able to tear a big hole in the blockade of the aboriginals.
At that time, it would be convenient for her to act.
Lin Mengya got up to leave after her wish was fulfilled. But the moment she walked into the courtyard, she saw Uncle Cai squatting at the door of the back room, glaring at them.
Li Ao felt a little embarrassed.
After all, he had saved his life, so he had to explain to her.
"Actually, Uncle Cai is a good man. There must be some misunderstanding between you two."
Lin Mengya had "seen" the other party's character.
But she had no actual conflict with him, so she didn't want to cause trouble.
"I know, don't worry, Mr. Li."
However, Uncle Cai only spat at her coldly.
"You heartless thing! If I knew you were so ungrateful, I wouldn't have been so softhearted to save you! "
His granddaughter was standing beside Uncle Cai.
She didn't react to his words, but just stood beside him and looked curiously in Lin Mengya's direction.
Li Ao felt very guilty after being scolded, so he went forward and bowed deeply.
"Uncle, I will never forget your kindness in saving my life. In the future, no matter what you ask of me, I will do it. But Miss Lingdang is still young, and I don't want to delay her life. "
Cai Lingdang smiled at Li Ao secretly.
That was the best!
Anyway, he didn't want to marry her, so her grandfather couldn't force her to marry him!
Uncle Cai's face turned pale.
"Fine, fine, fine! You can leave now, and I will pretend that I was blind and saved the wrong person! "
After that, the old man left in a huff.
Cai Lingdang chased after him worriedly. Before she left, she looked back at Lin Mengya.
"Go and coax your grandfather."
To be honest, she quite liked this little girl.
There were not many people who were so pure that they were stupid, not to mention this girl was really fun.
Li Ao sighed.
He could marry Lingdang, as long as he brought her back and took good care of her like a sister.
But he really couldn't bear to delay the girl's happiness.
"Really, don't you like this little girl?"
Lin Mengya showed her spirit of gossip.
But Li Ao was frowning.
"I don't like her because of love between a man and a woman. Moreover, Uncle Cai saved my life. Wouldn't I be biting the hand that feeds me? "
That was true.
She looked at Uncle Cai's room thoughtfully.
Although this old man had a bad temper and was a little aggressive.
But she could see that Uncle Cai cared about Lingdang the most.
Li Ao said that he had explicitly rejected him several times before. In that case, why did Uncle Cai insist on pushing Lingdang to Li Ao?
She felt that. There was something wrong.
But there were too many things to do. She thought for a while and was replaced by other things.
After coming back from the forest, Lin Mengya had calmed down a lot.
Standing at the door, she took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. Then, she quietly opened the door.
"You're back?"
Suddenly, Long Tianhao's voice came from the room.
Although she was prepared, she couldn't help but be startled.
She quickly lit the candle and saw Long Tianhao sitting at the table, staring at her.
"Why don't you light the lamp?"
She walked over and gently rubbed his shoulder.
This guy had been sitting here for a long time. He was very stiff.
Long Tianhao looked down to hide the reflection of the fire in his eyes.
"No, I'm just waiting for you."
"Silly, it's not that I won't come back. You have to light the lamp if you wait for me."
Lin Mengya felt guilty, so she didn't hear the complicated meaning hidden in Long Tianhao's words.
"You will come back."
He said softly, almost to himself.
Lin Mengya felt strange.
"If I don't come back, where else can I go? What's wrong with you? Did you take the wrong medicine last night? "
She touched Long Tianhao's forehead and was wondering if he had a fever that made him speak nonsense. Unexpectedly, he suddenly pulled her into his arms.
The passionate kiss that also carried some other meanings was suppressed.
She was still in his arms! He could still kiss her! He could still have her!
For the whole night, Long Tianhao tried to confirm this fact with his own body.
But Lin Mengya, who was knocked down by his passion, didn't know why this man suddenly went crazy.
Although there was nothing wrong with it, the next day, she knew his evil intentions.
