Chapter 364 Human Relationships

Nan Jiao followed with her skirt lifted up. Perhaps because there had been heavy rain two days before, the road was indeed a little difficult to walk on, but she thought about the chance to see the sacred Bodhi tree.

She was still quite excited.

After all, it is rare to appear in this world.

Along the way, neither of them spoke a word. Only the rustling sound of their footsteps was heard. The air was filled with the freshness of nature and the faint scent of flowers.

As we approached the temple, we could faintly smell the aroma of incense.

Before the two reached the temple, they saw three people standing in the open space in front of the temple, a young woman in gorgeous clothes and two maids.

Princess of Chu?

When Murong Yan saw Murong Xi, a chill quickly flashed across his dark eyes.

"Meet my brother, the Crown Prince." Murong Xi stepped forward and saluted, feeling a little depressed in her heart. She didn't expect that Jiang Nanjiao was wearing the same color clothes as her.

"Why are you here?" Murong Yan's tone was sharp and full of displeasure.

"Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. I came here to pray for my mother. I didn't expect to meet my brother the Crown Prince. Who is this?" Murong Xi said while looking at Nan Jiao.

This was the first time she met her.

She has fair skin and beautiful appearance, and her looks are stunning.

Even after giving birth, her figure is still graceful and curvy, and there is a unique charm between her eyebrows and eyes. No wonder she is so attractive.

"The Princess of Jin of Qin." Murong Yan introduced.

"So you are the Princess Jin of Qin. Welcome to Chu. I am Murong Xi, the fifth princess of Chu." Murong Xi said enthusiastically with a smile.

"Jiang Nanjiao." Nanjiao said her own name.

Murong Yan walked quickly towards the temple gate.

Nan Jiao followed.

Murong Xi walked side by side with her, "Why did the Princess of Jin come to Chu?"

"Take the prize from the medical competition." Nan Jiao said indifferently.

"Medical competition? Why haven't I heard of it? How come the prize is in Chu?" Murong Xi's face was full of surprise, but he pretended to know nothing.

"You should ask Prince Chu." Nan Jiao quickened her pace after saying this, obviously not wanting to go with her.

Murong Xi looked at her back and sneered in his heart.

Arrived at the main gate of the temple.

Nan Jiao stared at the plaque on the door - Wuliang Temple, it seemed to be a temple exclusively for the royal family of Chu State.

As soon as Murong Yan entered, a monk came forward to pay his respects.

"You don't have to entertain me. Take the Fifth Princess to burn incense and worship Buddha." Murong Yan looked at the monk and made arrangements.

"Fifth Princess, please come this way." The monk extended his hand and made an inviting gesture.

Murong Xi took a deep breath and gritted her teeth. She didn't expect Murong Yan to send her away. She also wanted to see the Bodhi tree.

I heard it is a sacred tree that ordinary people cannot see.

She hadn't seen it either.

I came here today specifically to destroy the tree so that Jiang Nanjiao would not be able to obtain the Bodhi root.

"Brother Crown Prince, I will come to find you after I finish burning incense." Murong Xi said obediently and left reluctantly. The temple was only this big and she would eventually find it.

After seeing Murong Xi walking away, Murong Yan led Nan Jiao to the west side of the temple.

"Did you in Chu plant the Bodhi tree?" Nan Jiao took the initiative to ask.

"Yes, it's been a thousand years." Murong Yan said softly. Seeing that she was willing to talk to him, his mood instantly improved.

Nan Jiao was surprised.

It's actually thousands of years old!

She couldn't wait to see whether this Bodhi tree looked exactly like the other Bodhi trees.

A moment later.

Murong Yan led Nan Jiao to the gate of a courtyard and said, "Follow me later. There is a formation in the courtyard. If you go the wrong way, it will trigger the mechanism."

"Okay." Nan Jiao raised her eyebrows. They actually set up a formation. It seemed that the State of Chu really valued this Bodhi tree. This was to prevent anyone from snatching it away.

Murong Yan pushed open the vermilion courtyard door.

Nan Jiao looked inside quickly, and when she saw the old tree in the middle of the yard, her eyes were filled with surprise. The leaves were not green as she had imagined, but golden.

The trunk of the tree probably requires several adults with open arms to hug it, and the crown of the tree looks like a giant mushroom. It is obvious at first glance that this is not an ordinary tree.

Murong Yan glanced at her and walked towards the Bodhi tree.

Nan Jiao quickly retracted the video, saw which brick he stepped on, and followed it, and soon arrived under the Bodhi tree.

"Do we need to dig out this Bodhi root?" Nan Jiao looked at the ground and it seemed that it would take some effort.

Murong Yan laughed out loud, "Do you think the Bodhi root is underground?"

Nan Jiao was confused, "Isn't it?"

"It's up there." Murong Yan pointed to the center of the tree crown. It turned out that there were things she didn't know. He thought there was nothing in the world that she didn't understand.

Nan Jiao: “…”

In the tree!

The master didn’t tell her it was on the tree.

"Bodhi root is not the root of the Bodhi tree, but its fruit. The peel is like the root of the tree, and the medicinal effect will be best when it is golden and bright." Murong Yan explained to her patiently.

Nan Jiao looked embarrassed, she didn't expect such a mistake would happen.

Should she thank him?

Otherwise, no matter how hard they looked, they probably wouldn't be able to find the Bodhi root, because the Bodhi root she drew was just a small piece of tree root.

"I'm not lying to you. It's indeed not ripe yet." Murong Yan looked at the embarrassed face of the woman and said seriously. It was rare to see her like this.

Nan Jiao looked at him and said, "Thank you."

"There's no need to be so polite between us." Murong Yan didn't want to hear the word "thank you".

"You know my people are looking for Bodhi roots, and you also know that I am going to Penglai Island. You deliberately use Bodhi roots as prizes so that I will come to Chu State." Nan Jiao said with a smile.

Murong Yan met the woman's shining eyes and admitted, "That's right."

Bodhi root is a treasure of the royal family of Chu State.

He couldn't give it to her directly, so he could only use it as a prize, and only then would she come to Chu in person to get it.

“That’s thoughtful.” Nan Jiao smiled. If he was not the crown prince of Chu, perhaps the relationship between them wouldn’t be so awkward, but there is no if.

They are in different countries and have their own responsibilities.

"I'll take you to pick them when they're ripe," Murong Yan said.

"You took the treasure of the Chu royal family as a prize. Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by your father or being blamed by others?" Nan Jiao stared at the Bodhi tree, still amazed in her heart.

I never thought that the sacred Bodhi tree could be so beautiful.

Murong Yan exuded the aura of an emperor who ruled the world. He said in a cold voice, "I am the crown prince of Chu. I do have some rights."

"I heard that the King of Chu is planning to pass the throne to you. Congratulations." Nan Jiao's congratulations were sincere, but the next time they met, they would be enemies.

"I don't like verbal congratulations." Murong Yan's eyes were filled with a misty color. He didn't expect that she would congratulate her.

Nan Jiao looked at the crown of the Bodhi tree and said, "When I successfully obtain the Bodhi root, I will give you a congratulatory gift when you ascend the throne in the future."

It was his return gift to her of the Bodhi root.

If he didn't take the Bodhi root as a prize, she probably wouldn't be able to find it.

One thing is one thing.

She doesn't want to owe anyone a favor.

"I'm looking forward to it." A smile slowly appeared on Murong Yan's cold face.

the other side.

Murong Xi burned incense and worshipped Buddha as quickly as possible, and then left the hall. She looked at the monk who followed her and said, "Take me to find the prince."

They must be at the Bodhi tree now.
