Li Meng took the jade pendant from Jiang Er and found that the pattern on it was the same as the one Lian Yi gave her, but this was not Li Meng's jade pendant.

Li Meng asked tentatively, "Lian Yi?" Jiang Er said to Li Meng respectfully, "Master, we don't know Lian Yi."

Li Meng asked again, "Saint?" Jiang Er nodded and said to Li Meng, "It was the Saint who asked us to come."

Only then did Li Meng realize that Jiang Er didn't know the name of their Southern Country's Saint?

Li Meng glanced at Luo Minghe and said to Jiang Er, "How did she know we were here? And what did you say? I am your master."

Jiang Er looked around and said to Li Meng, "Master, this is not the place to talk. Let's go back and let the Saint tell you."

Li Meng said to Luo Minghe, "Brother Luo, how are you? Can we go now?"

Luo Minghe smiled and said to Li Meng, "It's nothing, just a minor injury. They have already treated it for me."

Li Meng said to Jiang Er, "Thank you!"

Jiang Er said to Li Meng, "Director, you're welcome."

After saying that, Jiang Er said to the man in black behind him, "Go get the carriage."

Soon Li Meng helped Luo Minghe onto the carriage. Although the wounds were not deep and were just superficial injuries, Li Meng still saw clues from Luo Minghe's pale face!

Li Meng looked at Luo Minghe, who was leaning against the carriage, his face as pale as paper and his lips bloodless.

His brows were furrowed, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he groaned faintly from time to time. His eyes, which had once been bright and lively, had now become dull, revealing pain and fatigue. His body was trembling slightly, as if every breath brought a sharp pain.

Soon Jiang Er, who was outside, said to Li Meng inside, "Master, we're here."

Li Meng opened the curtain and went down first, then turned back to help Luo Minghe. But then she remembered that Luo Minghe was injured, so she said to Jiang Er, "Help to help Brother Luo down."

Jiang Er quickly bowed and helped Luo Minghe down. Only then did Li Meng realize that this was a peaceful and solemn palace. It was located on the top of a mountain, surrounded by verdant forests and flowing streams. The palace had an elegant architectural style, with white marble as the main material. The palace was tall and magnificent.

Jiang Er helped Luo Minghe walk in, and then a man came out. He was about fifty years old, slightly overweight, but his steps were steady and his demeanor was calm. His eyes always revealed shrewdness and decisiveness, as if he could see through all the subtle changes in the mansion.

He was wearing a navy blue robe with delicate patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs.

The man was surprised when he saw Li Meng, but then he calmed down and said to Li Meng, "My last name is Jiang. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Jiang, or you can call me Old Jiang!"

Li Meng said to Uncle Jiang, "Hello, Uncle Jiang!"

Uncle Jiang nodded and said to Li Meng, "The Saint is waiting for you in the front hall. Please follow me."

Li Meng followed Uncle Jiang in and found a beautiful garden in the palace courtyard. The garden was full of various exotic flowers and plants, blooming with brilliant colors. There was also a small pavilion in the garden, where the saint often read the scriptures to seek wisdom and enlightenment.

Uncle Jiang took Li Meng to the front hall. Once inside the palace, the decoration was exquisite and gorgeous. There were gorgeous silks and precious murals hanging in the hall, and soft carpets on the floor.

Uncle Jiang said to Li Meng, "Miss, please wait here. The Saint will be here soon."

After saying that, he left without waiting for Li Meng to say anything.

Li Meng sat on the chair, looking outside. Soon Lian Yi came in, wearing a long white dress. The hem of her dress was like a dancing fairy, gently brushing the ground. The fabric was soft and smooth, shimmering with a faint luster, like clouds in the sky. The neckline was embroidered with exquisite patterns in silver thread, delicate and elegant.

Lian Yi wore a blue belt around her waist, inlaid with gemstones, which sparkled brightly. The belt made her figure more graceful, like a flower swaying in the wind.

The saint wore a silver headdress inlaid with pearls and crystals, shining with holy light. Her long hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, fluttering gently and exuding a faint fragrance.

Her face is delicate and refined, like a fairy descending from the earth. Her eyes are firm and gentle, which makes people respect her. She wears a crystal bracelet on her hand, which sparkles with crystal light and complements her temperament.

The overall look is simple yet noble, plain yet elegant.

As soon as Lian Yi came in, she looked at Li Meng anxiously and found that Li Meng was wearing a dress made of coarse cloth, with a dull color and no excessive decoration. She had her hair loose and tied it up casually with a headscarf to cover her face.

Looking at Li Meng like this, Lian Yi smiled and said, "What happened to you?"

Li Meng smiled and said to Lian Yi, "Thank you!" Lian Yi knew what Li Meng meant, and smiled and said to Li Meng, "We don't need these empty words before!"

Lian Yi took Li Meng to sit down and said to her, "Tell me what happened? And why are you in the South Country?"

Li Meng said to Lian Yi, "It's a long story. I was originally with my brother in Jiangnan, but I was kidnapped to the outskirts of the South. Later, due to some things, I fell off a cliff and was rescued. That's how I became what I am now."

Lian Yi heard what Li Meng said and said to Li Meng, "Do you remember who that person was?"

Li Meng looked at Lian Yi in confusion, and Lian Yi said to Li Meng, "I'm talking about the person who saved you."

Li Meng thought of that person with a puzzled look on her face. Lian Yi looked at Li Meng and knew what was going on!

Lian Yi said to Li Meng, "You saw him, didn't you?"

Li Meng was very surprised by Lian Yi's words, and said to Lian Yi, "What that person said is true."

Lian Yi nodded and shook her head and said to Li Meng, "What she said is true and not true."

Li Meng said to Lian Yi anxiously, "What exactly do you mean? Explain clearly."

Lian Yi said to Li Meng, "Did that man tell you that he is your father?"

Li Meng nodded, Lian Yi continued, "That person is not actually him. He is the one behind the scenes. It can be said that he did a lot of things. I have also sent people to monitor him. He is one of the elders, or to be more precise, a former elder. He was driven out of the Southern Kingdom because of some things, and then he stayed there. I recently noticed some clues and noticed that person. Do you remember what happened in Qing Kingdom?"
