Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 846 - The Divine Witch Shrine

Chapter 846 The Divine Witch Shrine

Taking a look at herself and making sure she was appropriately dressed, Lin Mengya took Baisu to the Divine Witch Shrine.

There was no celebration today, so there were not many people on the street.

Lin Mengya keenly sensed that the two of them were actually watched by some people around.

Although the priority of these people was to protect Lin Mengya, she was sure that as long as Baisu got close to the Divine Witch Shrine, some of them would immediately come out and take Baisu away.

“Go to the place outside the palace, where we are going to meet, and wait for me there. Come and pick me up in four hours. If you come early, go to the teahouse over there and wait for me,” Lin Mengya said.

This was one of the reasons why Lin Mengya gave up covering up her tracks. Those people sent by Xiaoyu or Wanyan Lie could protect and keep an eye on her at the same time.

She would rather come out openly than act stealthily and cause groundless speculations.

After nodding and glancing at Lin Mengya hesitantly, Baisu left reluctantly.

“Rest a.s.sured, I’ll be fine.” Aware of Baisu’s concern, Lin Mengya tried to comfort her.

The Divine Witch Shrine was not a hazardous place, and she would not get hurt there.

She pa.s.sed through the streets and arrived at the outer capital city.

The imposing roof of the Divine Witch Shrine stood out on the bustling street.

Those people walking past her all cast extremely respectful glances at the building that had borne people’s faith over the years.

However, Lin Mengya sighed slightly in her heart.

By now, she was almost certain about the relations.h.i.+p between Baizhi and the Divine Witch.

Blood ties were mysterious but extremely accurate.

Judging from the age and unusual behavior of the Divine Witch, Lin Mengya was almost certain about Baizhi’s real ident.i.ty.

Nevertheless, Lin Mengya was more curious about one thing.

Although Baisu had told her that all of the Divine Witches were unmarried, they were not restrained by any doctrine. So they would not be prevented from getting married, would they?

If Baizhi was really the daughter of the Divine Witch, there must be quite a few secrets behind it.

Glancing at the gate of the Divine Witch Shrine, Lin Mengya walked softly inside.

The place was as secluded as usual, as if totally isolated from the bustle outside.

With the help of her memory of her last visit here, Lin Mengya came to the front of the main hall of the Divine Witch Shrine with ease.

She was in such a hurry that day that she did not take a good look at the main hall.

Different from the main halls of common temples, the main hall of the Divine Witch Shrine was not as solemn as them.

However, it was as dignified as them, which gave people a sense of reverence they could feel from the bottom of their hearts.

Although she saw no believers practicing here, there were some servants working in the courtyard.

At the sight of Lin Mengya, they naturally came up.

However, all of them a.s.sumed a cold and aloof air, probably because their master was the n.o.blest person in the Lieyun Empire.

“Miss, the Divine Witch is meditating. You are not allowed to intrude into our place,” one of them said politely.

Probably because she recognized that Lin Mengya’s clothes were valuable, she restrained herself a little from a.s.suming the arrogant att.i.tude towards common people.

Lin Mengya was not annoyed. Nodding gently, she took out the jade token of Madame Jingrou, held it in her hand and said, “I’m sent by Madame Jingrou to seek guidance from the Divine Witch. Miss, please make an exception.”

Perhaps they could be haughty in front of common people.

However, the real n.o.ble masters in the imperial palace just considered them as humble servants.

After hesitating for a moment, the servant said with her face softening a little, “It turns out you are sent from the imperial palace. Please wait for a moment. Let me go and report it.”

They would not deliberately make things difficult for her only if she revealed her ident.i.ty as a palace maid sent by Madame Jingrou.

Although it saved her the trouble, the Divine Witch would probably be more vigilant against her.

Lin Mengya, who didn’t care about this kind of trifle anyway, looked around casually while waiting.

Everything in the courtyard was simple and cla.s.sical.

But its architectural style was obviously different from that of the adjacent Witch Empress Shrine.

Since she came to the Lieyun Empire, she had spent most of her time in the imperial palace.

Nevertheless, she had made quite a few visits to the inner and outer capital cities where the buildings were different but had something in common.

Only the architectural style of the Divine Witch Shrine seemed to be unique.

Lin Mengya recalled that she had never seen this kind of architecture style in the Jin State or the other two countries.

The buildings in each temple presumably had a significance of their own.

What exactly was the significance of the buildings in the Divine Witch Shrine?

It had been a long while since the servant went in to report. Seeing another servant pa.s.s by, Lin Mengya immediately called out to her with a polite and gentle smile.

Fortunately, the servant had worked in the Divine Witch Shrine for three years despite her young age, and she was relatively mild.

Lin Mengya pretended to be curious and asked a few questions about the buildings here.

Only now did she learn the Divine Witch Shrine was said to be designed by the first Divine Witch.

Although the buildings had been repaired several times, they basically remained the same.

In this case, the architectural style of the Divine Witch Shrine was presumably influenced by the first Divine Witch.

Since all Divine Witches came from the Witch Empress’s tomb, could it be that the first Divine Witch applied the architectural style of the Witch Empress’s tomb to the buildings in the Divine Witch Shrine?

It could be possible. All Divine Witches made their debuts when they were 15-year-old girls.

They were of high status and high prestige.

However, a 15-year-old girl inevitably felt uneasy and lonely after going to a strange place on her own.

If Lin Mengya were the Divine Witch, she would probably apply the architectural style of her hometown as the first Divine Witch did in order to recollect the days she had spent in her hometown where she could never return.

She couldn’t help feeling a little gloomy. Although she was born in this time and s.p.a.ce, she could never forget the more than 20 years she had spent in modern society anyway.

Wasn’t the so-called Divine Witch just a girl who had to spend her youth here and let years and months slip by?

If the King of Various Venomous Insects and the Witch Empress did not exist, would the existence of these Divine Witches be meaningless?

Plenty of thoughts came into her mind in a short time.

Lost in various thoughts, she saw the servant come back after reporting.

She said, “Miss, please come with me.”

Lin Mengya nodded, put away her thoughts and followed the servant into the main hall of the Divine Witch Shrine.

In the hall, there was a faint sandalwood fragrance. Smelling it, Lin Mengya involuntarily became peaceful and attentive.

She a.n.a.lyzed the ingredients of the fragrance as usual, only to find that it contained more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs.

But what puzzled her was that most of the medicinal herbs could ease pain.

Could it be that the Divine Witch did not feel well these days?

“Miss, please wait a moment. The Divine Witch will be here soon,” the servant said.

After settling Lin Mengya politely, she served Lin Mengya a cup of tea.

After that, the servant immediately left as if she dared not stay here for any longer.

Holding the teacup, Lin Mengya kept looking around the main hall.

It was the same as before, but was quiet and cool, not as bustling as outside.

But at the same time, Lin Mengya noticed a strange thing.

Although there were windows in the main hall, they were only meant for ventilating the main hall.

Lighting was not taken into consideration in the construction of the windows.

The whole inner hall was lit by the candles burning day and night.

It was strange. Could it be that all Divine Witches didn’t like sunlight?

“You’re here.” After taking a look around, Lin Mengya heard a gentle and cold voice.

She immediately stood up and made a bow. Sure enough, the Divine Witch she had been thinking about for a long time was sitting in front of her.

The Divine Witch made rough sounds by moving her wooden wheelchair. Although she had difficulty getting about, she was still as n.o.ble and aloof as a deity.

“I’m sorry for making a hasty visit and disturbing you, reverend madam,” Lin Mengya said.

Despite she had plenty of doubts, she knew that she could not afford to offend the Divine Witch.

Fortunately, the Divine Witch, who seemed to have a not bad impression of her, gave her a gentle but aloof smile, and said, “It doesn’t matter. What exactly puzzled Madame? Feel free to tell me.”

Madame Jingrou was quite influential. Lin Mengya certainly knew the Divine Witch agreed to meet her for Madame Jingrou’s sake.

After taking a deep breath gently, Lin Mengya raised her head to look steadily at the Divine Witch who looked exactly like Baizhi.

“I want to know what exactly is the relations.h.i.+p between you and my bestie.” She went straight to the point.

Lin Mengya had expected that the Divine Witch would not admit it easily, so she must press the Divine Witch step by step so as to get the Divine Witch to talk about this.

“Who?” the Divine Witch, who seemed to be composed, asked, unexpectedly showing a trace of panic in her eyes.

However, she soon pulled herself together, thinking Lin Mengya did not discover it, but in fact, Lin Mengya had noticed it.

“17 years ago, my father adopted a little girl who had lost her parents and was alone and helpless, and she and I grew up together. She looks exactly the same as you. Could she be your relative?” Lin Mengya said, and her gaze became extremely sharp all of a sudden.

Even the Divine Witch found it hard to confront her.

“There are plenty of people having similar faces in this world. It’s presumably a coincidence,” the Divine Witch said with an uncertain look in her eyes.

Obviously, she was afraid of giving herself away.

Lin Mengya was more certain of her speculation and showed an increasingly firm smile.

“Oh, if that’s the case, I can put my mind at ease. She is good in all respects, but has set her mind on seeking her relative. What a pity. She will be relieved if she can take a look at her relative,” Lin Mengya said ambiguously on purpose, trying to induce the Divine Witch to talk about this.

After she said that in a regretful tone, she saw the Divine Witch, who had been composed a moment ago, had clenched her fists she put on her knees.

“How... how is she?” the Divine Witch asked with unconcealable anxiety in her tone.

Seeing the Divine Witch had risen to the bait, Lin Mengya sighed and said mournfully, “Alas... if my poor sworn sister had been able to meet her relative, she would not have had a secret regret all her life.”
