If it were in a dormitory, it would be one thing for Na Na to pull off that move from the original work, but right now, they were in a laboratory.
There were remote surveillance Soul Tools in the laboratory. If Na Na took off her clothes here, Wang Lin's brilliant reputation would be ruined.
The key point was that Wang Lin and Meng Hongchen were getting along well. Although things hadn't been made explicit due to the Holy Spirit Cult issue, both sides already understood each other's intentions.
Therefore, this Na Na was purely causing trouble for Wang Lin. She just wanted to use her "first time" or something to tie Wang Lin down.
"Enough, go back. When I have time, I'll take a trip with you to the stronghold."
Wang Lin pinched the bridge of his nose and said directly, without asking about Na Na's story at all.
Recalling the character Na Na, Wang Lin naturally remembered the story related to her.
The story was simple: due to her Martial Soul, the Holy Spirit Cult took a fancy to Na Na. Then, members of the Holy Spirit Cult imprisoned the souls of Na Na's parents to control her.
That was roughly it. Even if there were discrepancies, they wouldn't differ much from Wang Lin's memory. Wang Lin didn't want to listen to Na Na repeat it again.
"Ah..." Na Na was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. Wang Lin didn't give her a chance to tell her story at all, standing up and walking directly out of the Third Laboratory.
Leaving Na Na kneeling there in a daze for a long time.
...
Early morning, five days later.
Meng Hongchen, dressed in a bright blue and white combat outfit, had long been waiting at the main gate of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Faint sunlight passed through the fragmented red hair on her forehead, illuminating Meng Hongchen's face like an exquisite painting.
Although she was shorter than Na Na, who was fully 1.8 meters tall, her appearance alone made Na Na, standing beside her, feel ashamed of her own inferiority.
"Little Meng, you really came."
From afar, as soon as Wang Lin approached the gate, his gaze was attracted by the lovely girl under the sunlight.
"Of course, we agreed on it!"
Hearing Wang Lin's voice, Meng Hongchen smiled like a flower, turning her head to speak to Wang Lin.
"Then let's set off. Lead the way, Na Na."
Wang Lin didn't refuse. The strongest Holy Spirit Elder in that Holy Spirit Cult stronghold only had the cultivation of a Soul Saint.
As long as there were no accidents, with Wang Lin's cultivation, he could fully protect Little Meng. Moreover, the Dragon Pill Long Xiaoyao gave Meng Hongchen could withstand a blow from a Limit Douluo.
"Okay."
Na Na nodded and walked in front to lead the way. The three of them sped up, turned several corners, and, at Wang Lin's signal, walked into a dark alley.
When she came out again, only Na Na was left alone.
What others couldn't see was that behind Na Na, under a layer of invisible spiritual fluctuation, Wang Lin was holding Meng Hongchen's hand and whispering to her.
Meng Hongchen's participation was entirely because that guy Xiao Hongchen let it slip. Although Meng Hongchen was very mature compared to her peers.
In the end, she was just a fifteen-year-old girl. After knowing about Na Na's situation, she naturally wouldn't be at ease leaving Na Na alone with Wang Lin.
It was just a young girl's possessiveness; Wang Lin could understand that, so he agreed to let Little Meng come along.
"If something big happens, remember to hide behind me."
Wang Lin instructed. Meng Hongchen nodded obediently, indicating she understood.
Before setting off, Wang Lin had told Meng Hongchen about the opponents they might encounter. Although Meng Hongchen was still some distance away from becoming a Soul Emperor, she had absolutely no problem dealing with a Soul Emperor.
But it's better to be safe than sorry!
As the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu was indeed vast. It was just dawn, and this journey took a full half hour.
They arrived at an unremarkable building with a black roof. Na Na had already changed into a bamboo hat with a veil hanging down. She walked quickly to the courtyard gate.
She raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door, a total of five knocks: three long and two short.
Not long after, the wooden gate opened a crack. Na Na flashed through the gap. Wang Lin followed, shielding Meng Hongchen behind him.
Inside the door stood a young man dressed entirely in black, also wearing a bamboo hat.
The courtyard was a different world. In the center of the courtyard, where winding paths led to seclusion, various plants were planted. Tall trellises were covered with various plants, blocking the view from the sky.
Wang Lin scanned the trellises, noticing that the surface of the iron trellises had dense and complicated patterns emitting faint spiritual fluctuations.
It was the large-scale Soul Tool array formed by these patterns that had just blocked Wang Lin's spiritual detection.
Without time to observe more, Na Na had already walked to the building with a black dome in the center of the courtyard. Two men in white stood guard on both sides of the building's main entrance.
At this moment, Na Na took out a pitch-black token engraved with two gray skulls.
She lowered her voice and said deeply: "May the Holy Son have boundless longevity, may the Holy Maiden's celestial beauty last forever."
The two men in white hurriedly bowed simultaneously, repeating her words in lowered voices, "May the Holy Son have boundless longevity, may the Holy Maiden's celestial beauty last forever."
Wang Lin looked at everything curiously. As the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult, this was his first time visiting such a stronghold. This process was very novel to him.
Meng Hongchen, standing behind Wang Lin, was equally curious. She had only ever heard the name of the Holy Spirit Cult; today was the first time she had truly seen it.
One of the men in white said: "Lord Quasi-Spirit, Grand Holy Spirit and Second Holy Spirit are both present. Are you going down now?"
Hearing this title, Wang Lin explained in a low voice to Meng Hongchen behind him, "Holy Servant is equivalent to an outer court student, Holy Spirit is an inner court student, and Quasi-Spirit is someone about to be promoted to an inner court student."
With that explanation, Meng Hongchen understood immediately. The young girl had known Wang Lin's identity for a long time; Wang Lin had never intentionally hidden his identity.
"Then what about your identity, A Lin?"
Meng Hongchen didn't mind; instead, she asked curiously.
"I am currently the Holy Son, which should belong to the category of Cult Master Successor."
Wang Lin answered truthfully.
At this time, Na Na took back the token and walked toward the inner room. There was nothing special about the inner room; it looked like an ordinary household.
Upon entering the inner room, Na Na walked to the only desk in the room, placed her hand on the desk, and pushed downward.
Creak!
The sound of mechanical transmission rang out. The four legs of the desk sank into the floor. Soon, the desktop, along with the floor, split open to reveal an entrance about one square meter in size.
A sliver of bright white light came from the depths of the tunnel. Na Na took a deep breath and walked directly into the tunnel with hope.
Passing through the long tunnel, they arrived at a spacious hall. Compared to the surface, this place was much larger, roughly three hundred square meters.
In the center of the gloomy hall, two men in white sat at a table. Compared to the men in white at the beginning, their white clothes had some additional fine silver patterns.
The two men in white noticed Na Na's arrival. The man sitting on the left asked in a muffled voice.
"Finally back. Did the Holy Son take a fancy to you? If he did, you're blessed. I heard that the Lord Holy Son could even cure Elder Wu's madness!"
