Shuang Xiaohan and Meizi

The place where the Ascension Ceremony is held is a small spiritual temple located in the most remote corner of the Forbidden Garden. The gate has been covered with dust and cobwebs since it has not been used for many years.The desolate Forbidden Garden, the four houses with different purposes all covered with dust and mottled, this is the whole picture of the Forbidden Garden.

To be honest, even Moran couldn't help but frown when he saw this place for the first time.

It has long been known that the Ascension Ceremony of the Lacquer Carving Clan is a completely closed process. During this one-month period, all the basic necessities of life for the heir and Lingzi must be done by themselves. After the end, a specific Eldar will clean and repair it to ensure that these houses will not be old and dilapidated due to wind and sun in the next 30 years.After that, the courtyard will be closed again until the next ceremony.

"It's so broken." Sheng Lian beside him tugged on his sleeve and murmured.

"Not used to it?" Looking at the situation in front of them, they probably need to clean the place by themselves before moving in.

"No." Shenglian shook her head, "I like Shenglian wherever I live." Probably because of his own name, he used to speak without a subject, but now he always likes "how about Shenglian" ...how about the lotus...'

"But it will take a long time." Mo Lun smiled softly, looking at his simple and contented character.

"Will Morun live here with Shenglian?" Shenglian looked up at him expectantly.

"Of course." Mo Lun nodded, and found that since naming the brand, Sheng Lian became very close to him. The feeling of relying on the first person he saw made him feel inexplicably a sense of satisfaction.

"Then you won't be afraid if you give birth to a lotus." She smiled happily, looking around with her eyes dripping around the environment where he and Morun would live in the future, and her heart was suddenly full.

"Moron?"

"Ok?"

"Why is my heart up?" I just feel that if there is something I don't understand, as long as I ask Mo Lun, I will definitely understand. Shenglian will naturally want to seek answers to this inexplicable reaction of the body.

"Feeling up?" Mo Lun looked at him holding his heart and frowning in confusion.

"Thinking about living with Moran in the future..."

"Sheng Lian." A yell interrupted Sheng Lian's explanation, the two turned their heads and saw Ying Wumei standing not far away with a gloomy face.

"Come here, the ceremony is about to begin." He waved.

"Oh." Shenglian nodded and walked over, thinking about the strange feeling just now before asking Morun.

"Young master, I don't know how you told Shengliandi, but the spirit clan has its own rules. For the future head of the family, all previous spirit sons should be treated with respect. Please don't allow Shenglian in the future. It’s better to be called by name.” Ying Wumei said with a blank face, her eyes were always looking down at the ground in a respectful posture.

"I understand."

Surprisingly, she got a reply without any pause, almost instinctively, Ying Wumei raised her head and looked at Morun in surprise, seeing that he was also looking at her with a smile.Turning his face away, Qi Diaoming, who saw again, also looked at everything just now with an inscrutable expression.

Without speaking, Ying Wumei looked up at the sun that was slowly setting in the west.

"The sun is setting, and it's only a few hours away from the middle of the moon. We must hurry up and clean the spiritual temple first." Ying Wumei picked up the broom brought in from outside and prepared to start cleaning.

"Let's start too." Mo Lun handed the rag to Sheng Lian, picked up a broom himself, and first Ying Wumei pushed open the dusty temple door. A cloud of dust flew around, almost falling on Mo Lun body.

Ying Wumei doesn't understand his behavior, she has clearly shown her disgust towards him, a child who came against the sky, why would he...

Lingluomei... What kind of child did you leave behind! ! !

§§§§§

The four of them hurried to clean up the temple before the moon rose, and hurriedly cleaned and tidied up the mess caused by work. On the night of the full moon, when the moon spirit was at its peak, the temple returned to tranquility. A person stands still in front of a sculpture in the middle.

Mo Lun and Sheng Lian knelt side by side in front of the statue, with Ying Wumei and Qi Diao Ming standing on either side.

"Young master, on the walls on the left and right are the heirs and spirit sons of the Qidiao clan and the first five generations of the Ling clan. The one in the center is the founding ancestor of our Longkang Dynasty." Ying Wumei pointed to the two sides who did not know. How to get the ten portraits, explain in detail, and this is also an item that must be completed every time the ascension ceremony, "In fact, the predecessor of the Lacquer Carving Clan and the Spirit Clan was the Civil and Military Er who assisted the ancestor at that time. General. The spirit child and the heir of the Lacquer Carving Clan are mated and joined together for the Ascension Ceremony. The royal family works."

"That...is the fifth generation of Lingzi, Lingluomei?" Mo Lun suddenly pointed to the last portrait on the right and asked Ying Wumei.

Ying Wumei's face darkened, and she looked at Qi Diaoming opposite, only to find that the other party was also looking at her, with cold eyes and raised eyebrows, as if she was also waiting to see how he would answer.

He frowned, then nodded.

After taking a deep look at the painting, Mo Lun turned around and said, "It's time to start."

Ying Wumei waved a flower in her hand, chanted a mantra, and then through the specially built protruding small skylight in the temple, a ray of golden moonlight shone down, covering the wrists of Mo Lun and Sheng Lian, and then quickly covered them. Two people around.

"The moon spirit has been introduced, and the next ascension ceremony is the business of the young master and Shenglian."

Ying Wumei looked at the two people in the circle of light. Because of the intrusion of spiritual light, it was already difficult to move. She glanced at Qi Diaoming who had been silent during the ceremony. He walked out of the temple, and then heard the sound of footsteps following behind him. and the sound of doors closing.

With some anger in her heart, Ying Wumei walked to the front of the Forbidden Garden, waiting for the person behind her to follow.

"Eldest Young Master already knows about Lingluomei?" Knowing that the silent person was behind him, Ying Wumei asked.

"Luomei once said before she died that she hoped that her children would never know her life experience, so I never said it." But he never deliberately covered it up, knowing that the people in the Qidiao Mansion are very talkative, and there will definitely be people talking about that big event back then. , or intentionally or unintentionally, he hoped that Moran could know his own life experience, know the man named Lingluomei who had devoted all his efforts for him.

"That's good. Since the young master has decided to inherit the Qidiao Mansion, it's better not to talk about the matter of Lingluomei back then. After all, for the future master of the Lacquer Diao Mansion, he has such an identity. It's a disgrace..."

Ying Wumei kept silent, her eyes were only on the cold, angry and ruthless man in front of her, and... the sharp sword he was holding in his hand, and the other end was resting on her neck.

There was a cold light in the cold eyes, and Qi Diaoming said: "This is the last time, I don't care how much the Spirit Race cares about Luomei's childbirth, but if I hear someone insulting Luomei again, I will never forgive you. The Patriarch better take my words to heart, otherwise, the entire Eldar will pay the price."

Withdrawing his saber, he turned and left.

"Hmph... Insulting Ling Luomei? If you want to talk about insulting, how can my Lingzu remember one ten-thousandth of the insult to him in Shangqidiao Mansion? Otherwise, how could Ling Luomei be elected as the head of the family? He committed suicide during his wedding, and he didn't even care about his full-term child. If we, the Spirit Race, were to pay a heavy price for the insult, how would the Lacquer Mansion, which not only insulted but even destroyed Ling Luomei's life, pay the price? What?" Ying Wumei sneered provocatively as she looked at the man in front of her who was frozen because of her words.

The air was silent for a moment, and the entire Forbidden Garden was so quiet that only the rustling of the fallen leaves was heard by the night wind. The two standing among the falling leaves seemed unwilling to compromise with each other's stalemate. Finally, it was the voice of Qi Diao Ming who broke it. This eerie quiet atmosphere...

"How do you know that Lacquer Carving Mansion never paid the price..."

Leaving such a sentence to the person with cold eyes behind him, he walked away...
