The room fell silent for a moment. Xie Siheng paused for two seconds before speaking: "Have the monks in the temple conducted the interrogation?"

"I asked, and there's no problem."

"Where's Huiji?"

Xie Siheng's words made Chuan Qiong's eyes widen in astonishment: "Master Huiji was giving a lecture in the side courtyard at that time, and so many people were watching!"

"What's more, something happened in the side courtyard today..."

Chuan Qiong told Xie Siheng the news he had heard in vivid detail, his face full of amazement.

Xie Siheng was listening attentively when he suddenly heard a slight "click" sound coming from the roof next door.

His face changed, and he drew the long sword in his hand and slashed towards the source of the noise, but missed.

When Ji Changying saw the figure change direction, she hurriedly followed. When her supernatural power extended, she saw only a man in black with Mu Li running fast in the night.

Ji Changying continued to look inside with her mental power. The man keenly felt that someone was spying on him. The moment he turned his head, two things as thin as a hair shot out from his hands.

Ji Changying quickly stretched out his wide sleeves and rolled them up, using the force to relieve the force and using softness to overcome hardness to roll the two things onto his sleeves. Then he gritted his teeth and looked at the man's position.

If her mental power had not been kept on, she would not have been able to see the black, thin thing as thin as a hair even if it was inserted into her head, hidden by the moonlight!

"Master, you have to cover the retreat yourself!"

When the man in black in front heard the sound, he slipped and almost hit his head on the roof, but then he ran even faster as if he was being chased by a ghost.

Just at the moment when the man turned his head and threw something out, Ji Changying had successfully seen his face.

It was her master, Ren Dongnan!

Seeing that he not only did not stop, but ran even faster, Ji Changying became so angry that she quickened her pace.

She wanted to ask what this was doing!

When Xie Siheng saw Ji Changying chasing someone, his face changed and he followed.

Ren Dongnan seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of Huangjue Temple. In less than a cup of tea, he took Ji Changying out of the Huangjue Temple. Along the way, he specifically shuttled through the mountains and forests, hoping to get rid of the apprentice who was lingering behind him.

Unexpectedly, his apprentice was as determined as if he had eaten a weight and could not get rid of it no matter how hard he tried.

"Why did you run away? You didn't even tell me you hadn't seen me for so long. Do you know how long I waited for you in that courtyard before I left Liangzhou? What elder is like you, leaving without even saying goodbye?"

"Hey, now it's good. I finally found you, and you run so fast! Still thinking of getting rid of me? No way! You were the one who taught me this kicking technique. You even thought of letting the dog bite me to increase my speed. You didn't expect this day to come, did you?"

"I wouldn't be tired if we ran around here all night, but I wonder if you can handle it at your age?"

Ren Dongnan's face had already turned as black as the bottom of a pot after hearing her words.

When he first heard his apprentice treating his enemies in this way, he was enjoying the show.

Now that this mouth is pointed at him, he doesn't feel so good anymore.

When they reached the canyon behind Huangjue Temple and saw the broken peak in front of them, Ren Dongnan stopped helplessly: "Why are you running here when you can stay at home?"

Ji Changying quickly ran up to him and said, "Why did you end up in the capital when you were still in Liangzhou? And why did you wrap yourself up like this?"

She was about to reach out to take off Ren Dongnan's muli, but he dodged her: "Master has important things to do. It's not a good thing. You should stay out of it."

Ji Changying looked at him seriously: "Master has his work, and I will do my best to help him. If you encounter any problems, just tell me and I can help you."

After being together for such a long time, even though they often pitted each other, Ji Changying still treated Ren Dongnan as a family member. Now that she knew that he was in trouble, how could she pretend that she knew nothing?

"If I needed you, I would definitely come to you. The fact that I didn't come to you proves that I can do it. Go back! The farther away from me the better, and it's best not to tell anyone that you've seen me."

After Ren Dongnan finished speaking, he jumped down from the broken peak.

Just as Ji Changying was about to jump down, she felt someone approaching. She immediately stopped and looked up at the sky.

Xie Siheng caught up and looked around, but didn't see the suspicious figure.

All I saw was Ji Changying looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, her bright little face full of worries.

Xie Siheng looked at her suspiciously for a long time. Neither of them spoke. Finally, he couldn't help but ask:

"····What are you doing?"

"I was thinking, people have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, the moon waxes and wanes, when will I be able to eat roasted lamb from Liangzhou again?"

After saying that, she swallowed helplessly.

“·····”

"So you stayed up late at night and ran here just to take a look at the moonlight obscured by dark clouds and reminisce about the roasted lamb from Liangzhou?"

Xie Siheng was so angry that he almost laughed. Was he taking him for a fool?

Ji Changying reacted and retracted her chin: "Don't worry about these details. The key point is that I want to eat roasted lamb, not the moonlight. Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you."

She waved her hand generously, turned around and walked in the direction she came from.

Xie Siheng's eyes narrowed, and he took two quick steps to grab her wrist: "Where did you get this thing from?"

Ji Changying looked down in confusion and saw two black needles on her sleeves. She quickly pulled them out and held them in her palms: "Who forgot to sew the needles on my sleeves? How could they be so careless! I don't want this job anymore!"

"I'm telling you that it's not right for men and women to touch each other, but you're holding my hand in the middle of the night and looking at me like that. If anyone sees you and doesn't know what you're doing, they'd think we're doing something!"

Chuan Qiong, who had just caught up, saw that his father was actually holding the girl's hand and looking at her affectionately.

He just happened to hear Ji Changying's last words, and immediately turned around, walking back stiffly: "I didn't see anything!"

He really wanted to slap himself twice. Why did you chase him for no reason?

Did you ruin the adults' good thing?

If they are all from the Criminal Investigation Department, then isn't his master just better looking than him, has a better family background than him, and has more money than him?

Why is he not so lucky with girls?

He also wants a wife and children and a warm bed!

Xie Siheng was interrupted like this and quickly withdrew his hand as if it had been burned.

"Well, nothing else, I have to go back."

Ji Changying dug her toes into the ground in embarrassment.

I didn't notice it when I was talking nonsense to distract myself just now, but now that I've realized it, I feel my face getting hot and I want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

What the hell is she talking about?!
