Back in Xitang, the man in the suit suddenly called a taxi and drove away. Ning Xue followed him in her car.

Starting from the entrance of Xitang Ancient Town, the car drove along countless narrow alleys, turning one corner after another, and suddenly stopped at the dock. The man in the suit got out of the car, looked around, and then stepped onto the black-sailed boat.

Ning Xue and I got off the car at the same time, called a black-sailed boat, and followed the man in the suit.

Along the way, I'd already told Ning Xue about the man in the suit. Ning Xue, a very opinionated woman, immediately followed him after hearing he was most likely the murderer. However, to avoid alerting the enemy, we followed him stealthily, wanting to see what he was up to.

So we boarded the black-sailed boat without hesitation, and as the boatman rowed, we looked closely at the black eaves and green tiles, listened carefully to the creaking of the oars, breathed in the fragrance of the water town, and moved farther and farther away from the pier.

After passing through one arch bridge after another, the black-sailed boat in front had stopped at the shore without me noticing. The man in the suit got off the boat and subconsciously turned his head to look behind him.

Ning Xue and I quickly hid in the black tent, so he didn't notice us. But just then, I was surprised to find that the man in the suit had a face that was... a woman's! Could it be a woman?

"That's the face of the man in red..." Ning Xue's voice trembled a little.

What? Red's face?

Damn, this is scarier than I thought!

I had never seen what Hong Yi's face looked like. After all, when I saw her, she had no face. But how could Ning Xue be wrong?

The face of the man in the suit was flawless, delicate and smooth, with big eyes and an oval face. He was very beautiful. If beauty could be rated as high as ten, that face would be at least nine points!

So the question is, is that man in a black suit or tuxedo a man or a woman? If he's a man, why is he using a woman's face? Is he a transvestite? If he's a woman, that's understandable. I'm ugly, so I want a beautiful woman's face...

Just as I was daydreaming, our black-sailed boat also arrived at the shore. Ning Xue paid the fare and we hurried ashore.

A large temple appeared thirty meters ahead, a plaque above it reading "Jingong Temple." The flow of people in and out was like a constant stream of people buying vegetables at a market, making it seem incredibly popular. Outside the temple, two stone pillars stood on either side, rising one section at a time like a coiled dragon. In the middle of each section were several water chestnuts, each topped with a stone snake carved into it, and a wind chime hung below.

Ning Xue and I watched the man in the suit walk into the temple. After looking at each other, we were about to follow him.

The boatman behind us saw us and suddenly said with a smile, "This Jingong Temple was formerly called the Temple of the King of Protecting the Country and Suicong, commonly known as the Seventh Lord Temple. The deity enshrined here is the seventh of the Jin family, and the locals call him the Seventh Lord. He's a local deity beloved by the locals! However, not many people came here in the past few years. Only recently, people have been coming here to burn incense and kneel down to worship. It's said that most wishes prayed to the Seventh Lord here have been fulfilled. Even the bitter couple Liu Ergou from Tangxi and Wang Bing'er from Tangdong were able to tie the knot, which immediately caused a sensation throughout the ancient town, so the temple is very popular. - You are a young couple from other places, right? If you're seeking marriage, you might want to try going in."

We didn't really care about the first part of the boatman's words, but the last part, saying that Ning Xue and I were a couple, immediately made us feel a little awkward. I thought back to when we were at the Lakeside Inn, bullying Ning Xue and touching her breasts. I felt my face flush and my whole body felt uncomfortable.

Ning Xue, on the other hand, didn't take it seriously. She just blushed slightly, turned around and smiled at the boatman, saying, "Thank you, sir. We'll go and seek marriage right away. I hope Mr. Qi will find us a good match."

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news here!" The boatman smiled kindly and waved to us.

Ning Xue's eyes narrowed with laughter. Seeing my dumbfounded look, she glared at me, came over, took my arm, and clung to me like a little bird, taking me to the Jingong Palace in a very intimate manner.

However, from beginning to end, I didn't say a word because I was stunned!

Looking at our sweet "couple" who were in love with each other, I could hear the boatman's hearty laughter behind me, which was full of joy and made me laugh and cry.

As we walked in, the uncles, aunts, and grandpas all smiled when they saw us, which instantly made me feel that the locals of Xitang are very kind and friendly. I walked in with Ning Xue's arms around me, and my hands never stopped moving, swinging back and forth, not sure whether to hold her waist or not.

Finally, Su Xiaoniu said to me angrily: "Really? I'm interested in you, but you're still so fussy. You're really not like a man!"

Before I could react, my right hand had already hugged Ning Xue's slender waist, making Ning Xue's soft body stick tightly against me.

Oh my god, it must be Su Xiaoniu who is controlling my right hand!

"Hmm..." Ning Xue was slightly startled by my sudden action. She whimpered and her face turned even redder. However, she smiled even more happily and giggled, "Why are you hugging me so tightly?"

My face was burning, I was probably blushing myself! You know, I was still a virgin. How could I have ever cuddled with a girl this intimately? Suddenly, my mouth was dry and my speech was incoherent. And then, hearing Ning Xue talking to me in such a teasing tone, I didn't know how to respond!

Just then, I suddenly saw a man in a suit walking past us, turning back to look at us. We were only five or six meters away from him, so it would be easy to be discovered. Startled, I quickly turned sideways and hugged Ning Xue in my arms.
