Chapter 942 To Make Fun of an Old Friend
Sometimes, Lin Mengya would rather be blind than die of laughing at them.
When she first saw the Front Hall, Lin Mengya realized that the temple was actually a place where her husband’s secret forces stayed.
“B-benefactress, what’s the matter?”
Finally, someone stood out and talked to them.
Lin Mengya gave a smile and saw that the young man in the blackmonk’s robe was obviously wary of them.
Apparently, he came over to talk to them. But actually, he wanted them to get lost as soon as possible.
“Young Master, I’m here with my family for two reasons. One is to ask for Buddhas’ help, and the other is to redeem a wish. I wonder if I can invite a well-respected monk in your temple to discuss this matter.”
The young man scratched his head. He was obviously not good at dealing with women.
Lin Mengya looked at the young man in front of her with a smile, but she was already worried about her husband’s IQ.
“Even if this is false, he has to take the disguise seriously, right?”
Fortunately, their biggest threat had been removed now. After all, anyone could tell that the Temple of Emptiness was very strange.
“W-well, I’ll ask the abbot!”
The young man ran away in a hurry. In the small square outside the Grand Hall, Lin Mengya and her fellows, as well as those monks doing a martial-art squat, stared at each other.
At this moment, they were in a dilemma.
These benefactors were enjoying staring at them. It was really embarrassing.
Lin Mengya pretended to be dignified, but in fact, she was greatly amused.
She wanted to know what these people were doing.
The young man ran very fast. It did not take long for him to lead a monk in a kasaya here.
The monk was called Master, but in fact, he was just a young man in his twenties.
Moreover, the man had a square face and bushy eyebrows, and he looked very resolute. At first glance, one could tell that he was a hot-blooded martial artist.
However, his temperament was very outstanding. He looked like his father who had led troops for many years but still looked gentle.
After looking the man up and down, Lin Mengya had some speculations about his identity.
Of course, the randomly buttoned-up kasaya indicated that he must have put it on in a hurry.
Could this bunch of fake monks be a bit more professional?
“Benefactress, is there anything I can do for you?” the man stammered.
Lin Mengya, straight-faced, looked at the young man in front of her while blinking constantly.
“Hello, Master. In fact, I just want to ask you what is hidden in the Temple of Emptiness and enchants my elder sister to come here so often. My family is influential in the Capital City. If you don’t give me an explanation, I’m afraid that the Magistrate will come to you tomorrow and reason with you.”
Since Lin Mengya had already guessed their identities, she had also roughly known the reason why Su Linlang had come here.
But she had to see through some things before she could pass them over.
Hearing those words, the master narrowed his eyes slightly.
However, he quickly returned to normal. Even though he still looked somewhat bold and unconstrained, he was not really a reckless man.
After making a Buddhist gesture unhurriedly and chanting Buddha’s name, He said in a low voice, “Benefactress, you must have made a mistake. Although there are many monks in our temple, the rules are stricter than those in other temples. What you just said will never happen in our temple. If you want to make things difficult for us deliberately, we will not tolerate any willful humiliation and insult, although we are weak.”
His voice was neither high nor urgent, but it was like a straight and sharp sword lying horizontally in front of Lin Mengya.
His tone was firm, which made people believe him voluntarily.
Although there was no fierce look on his resolute and handsome face, it was enough to intimidate those evil guys.
Sure enough, it was him.
Lin Mengya lowered her head to conceal the smile at the corner of her mouth.
“Master, you’re really a role model and an admirable figure. In this case, Master, please give my elder sister back.”
Although the lady in front of him had picturesque features, delicate and beautiful, what she had said made his heart skip a beat.
He was about to berate her when a surprised voice of a woman sounded from behind him.
“Mengya, why are you here?”
Lin Mengya looked up and could no longer suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth.
“If I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known that you almost went off with others. Brother Nankun, you’re really great to attract my people in the mansion here in secret. Why didn’t you send someone to inform me?”
The fake master, Sheng Nankun, looked at the woman before him in shock.
“Mengya? The mansion?”
Immediately, a name appeared in his mind.
“You… you’re my junior brother’s wife?”
Sure enough, she knew that the only man in the world who could seduce Elder Sister Lin Lang was Sheng Nankun, who was loyal and righteous.
She immediately abandoned the thought of making fun of him and bowed formally to her elder brother-in-law.
“Nice to meet you, Senior Brother Sheng. Please forgive me for being impolite just now.”
Sheng Nankun looked at the woman in front of him in shock, and the coldness in his eyes quickly faded away. Instead, he became gentle after knowing that she was one of them.
“Aha, in the past few days, Lin Lang has praised you quite a bit, saying that you’re a heroine who is not inferior to men in the world.”
Knowing that she was on the same side, Sheng Nankun suddenly changed his attitude.
The man was naturally bold and straightforward, which easily made people willing to get close to him and admire him.
Also, Lin Mengya came from a military family, which was to Sheng Nankun’s liking.
Now, they both had recognized each other as one of the families and got much closer to each other.
“Sister-in-law, the Temple of Emptiness was newly founded. How did you find us?”
There were rows of clean meditation rooms in the backyard of the Temple of Emptiness.
Lin Mengya and her fellows were led to the most spacious meditation room. Although Sheng Nankun was very bold, Su Linlang, who had been caught on the spot, felt her face as red as a ripe apple.
She was totally different from the quick-tongued person who had dissed bluntly those women hurrying to climb onto the bed of Lin Mengya’s husband in the mansion.
Lin Mengya did not expose her. She just felt that Lin Lang now seemed to be a happy little woman completely.
She believed that the couple interacted with each other within the limit of etiquette, and the affection in their eyes when they looked at each other could be seen clearly by an outsider like her.
Fortunately, Elder Sister Lin Lang’s wish had been fulfilled finally.
“Of course, it’s thanks to Elder Sister Lin Lang. In the past, she always kept indoors. Nowadays, she goes out every few days. Especially, her destination is a new temple. I’m not blind. Of course, I can see something wrong,” Lin Mengya said playfully.
Su Linlang hung her head even lower, while Sheng Nankun became serious and a look of chill flashed across his eyes.
“It is my fault for being careless. I will handle this matter properly. You can rest assured.”
He did not blame Su Linlang for being rash. Instead, he took the initiative to take up all the responsibilities.
To be honest, Lin Mengya was beginning to admire Senior Brother Sheng even more.
Many men would blame their failures on women.
However, Sheng Nankun did not do the same thing. This man deserved Su Linlang’s loyalty to him.
“There’s no need. I’ve already handled this matter. It’s a gift for you at our first meeting and also a gift in return for Elder Sister Lin Lang. I’m too wayward. There are many situations where I’ll have to rely on the two of you,” Lin Mengya said sincerely.
The couple opposite also looked serious.
“We’re a family. If you want anything, you just need to ask. Please don’t regard me as an outsider.”
Sheng Nankun had a good impression of Lin Mengya, so he naturally took her as his family.
Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief and looked down.
“I’m leaving. I hope the two of you can take good care of Long Tianyu for me before I come back.”
Not only Sheng Nankun, but also Su Linlang was totally surprised.
“Are you leaving? Where are you going?”
Su Linlang stood up, walked up to Lin Mengya, and looked at her with worry.
These days, she liked this smart and brave girl very much.
Even though she always stayed in the mansion, she knew that the world had been turned upside down.
If Long Tianyu ascended to the throne, the woman in front of her would be destined to move into the palace and lead the imperial harem.
But now it seemed that she was going to leave.
“Everyone has their own responsibility. Although I am not a righteous person, I will not easily avoid my responsibilities. Senior Brother Sheng, I suppose you have heard of the relic of the Guwei State?”
The look of shock in Sheng Nankun’s eyes could not be hidden.
Obviously, in charge of the hidden force behind Long Tianyu, he was also clear about the existence of the relic of the Guwei State.
“To tell you the truth, the Lin family has some relationship with the relic of the Guwei State. Someone is trying to unlock the relic of the Guwei State, which may cause great misery. I can’t turn a blind eye to that, and I can’t let the heir of the Lin family bear the fate forever. Therefore, I must leave.”
But this time, it was very different from the past.
If it were in the past, Lin Mengya would have thought of perishing together with the opponents.
But now, she was no longer so pessimistic.
So what even if it was the Candle Dragon Cult? So what even if she was the Guardian?
She had to survive. Only by surviving could she bring happiness to those she cared about.
With so many concerns, she cherished her life even more.
They did not make her a coward but greatly encouraged her.
Only with faith in protecting something would she be able to have a great amount of courage and strength.
“I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect it to be you,” Sheng Nankun muttered.
There was both ecstasy and worry in his tone.
It seemed that Sheng Nankun knew more information than Long Tianyu did.
It was no wonder that in order to find those secrets, he had abandoned his identity and hidden in the darkness. Naturally, he knew more.
