Lin Wanwan's expression froze.
Burning the spirit goddess?
Why?
Damn it, what did she do wrong that the world has to burn her?
Lin Wanwan was held in Lin Chang'an's arms as they endured the bumpy ride.
"Brother~ slow down, slow down~"
"Ugh~"
"I'm going to throw up."
I'm about to suffocate; if this shaking continues, I'll really die.
Can't we take a horse-drawn carriage?
Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an stopped in his tracks. "Little sister, can you still hold on?"
Lin Wanwan shook her head, "No~"
Lin Chang'an placed one hand on his waist, touched the only copper coin inside, and said with a pitiful expression:
"Little sister, your brother is poor and has no money..."
"If you're wealthy, would you mind giving it to us?"
"No!" Lin Wanwan refused outright.
She refused without any courtesy.
My money's grown up, and now it's going to buy meat and candy...
I've grown up, and my third brother has gotten old and can't eat anymore~
Lin Chang'an: I thank you and your ancestors for eighteen generations!!
Does a ten-year age difference mean you can't eat candy?
snort!
If you don't want to give, then you don't want to give.
"Huh, is that... a hot pot?"
Following the direction Lin Wanwan pointed, Lin Chang'an turned around to look.
"That's right, I almost forgot to look for Cheng Yun. Luckily, I didn't go into the neighboring residence." Lin Chang'an looked up at the Regent's villa and jogged up behind the two of them.
"Qian Shu, Cheng Yun, what are you two doing together?"
"Shh!" Xiao Chengyun gestured to Lin Chang'an with a shushing sound. "We're planning to go to the Shen Gu Temple. We heard that the villagers there are going to burn it down, and the villagers from Wangjia Village and Yunxi Village have started arguing."
"Let's go, let's go quickly."
Yao Qianshu couldn't wait any longer and flagged down a carriage. "Let's go take a look."
Lin Chang'an: This guy's sister is much more generous!!
Luckily I didn't pay out of my own pocket, otherwise I would have lost a lot of money.
Yao Qianshu said to the driver:
"Young man, could you please take us to the Temple of the Goddess?"
Upon hearing this, the driver nodded happily.
He originally wanted to go, but how can you go wherever you want to make a living?
He was overjoyed to learn that the guest was going there.
"Alright, everyone, please go up and take your seats."
The coachman quickly drove the carriage to the temple of the goddess.
Before even reaching the temple of the goddess, they saw many people heading there.
Lin Wanwan looked at the pedestrians on the road with curiosity.
"Huh? Du Qikang?"
“Sister Wanwan, you’ll know when you get there. This temple of the goddess has been here for a hundred years, but it has never helped the people. We have no way of knowing what happened a hundred years ago.”
"It's inevitable that the people are angry now."
After the carriage arrived at its destination, the group of people got off one after another.
As Yao Qianshu watched the people arriving one after another, he took out another silver ingot from his pocket.
"Hey buddy, can you wait for us here?"
"We'll be going back later; we snuck out..."
Yao Qianshu spoke very softly, afraid that the driver would take him back.
The coachman rolled up his sleeves and sat down beside the carriage, grinning as he took the silver from his hand. "Alright, go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, thank you."
The four of them quickly ran forward.
When they got to the door, they couldn't squeeze in at all.
Yao Qianshu craned his neck, but couldn't see a single tile.
Xiao Chengyun and Lin Chang'an looked up inside, and finally pulled the group of people in from the side.
"Why are you burning down the temple of the goddess? We villagers have guarded this place for a hundred years, what business is it of yours?"
"How can it not bother us? Even the royal family has abandoned the Temple of the Goddess, so what are you still doing here? I told you this Temple of the Goddess is bad for our Wang Family Village!"
"Tell me then, how is it against the law?" The other party was quite angry.
The villagers of Wangjia Village banged sticks on the ground one by one to vent their dissatisfaction.
"Hmph, the temple of the goddess has never shown any power in the past hundred years, and it is right in front of our village's ancestral hall. Our village has no water, the rice fields are dry, and we can't even get enough sunlight."
"I think it was clearly caused by her."
Seeing their menacing approach, some of whom were carrying torches, the villagers of Yunxi Village formed a human wall and surrounded the entrance to the Shen Gu Temple.
"If you dare to burn down the temple of the goddess, then start with us!"
"You—" The black-robed elder's face was somewhat ugly. He pointed at Qu Dapeng in front of him and cursed angrily: "You ungrateful wretch! We burned down the Temple of the Goddess, so you no longer need to guard this place. Instead of being grateful, you are still making noise."
Qu Dapeng snorted coldly:
“Our Yunxi Village has been guarding the Shen Gu Temple for a hundred years. This is our mission. You have no right to burn it down. If you offend the Shen Gu, I think you will be in big trouble.”
"Hahahaha? Provoke? For a hundred years, how many days and nights has the Holy Kingdom endured being attacked to achieve today's peace? That was all thanks to Chi Liu's great-grandson and Long Xiao Ye Hu. If the Divine Maiden can truly protect the people of the Holy Kingdom, why has she not shown herself to this day?"
Qu Dapeng recalled the magical scene when Ye Lanyin brought Lin Wanwan and the others to the Shen Gu Temple last time.
He then said, "Who said that? The goddess has already manifested herself; you just didn't see it."
The elder in black looked at Qu Dapeng as if he were a fool. "You might be able to fool a three-year-old with something like that, but do you think we'd believe you?"
"Qu Dapeng, for the sake of us being from neighboring villages, we will not hold your rudeness against you. Let us burn down the temple of the goddess and apologize to our ancestors."
"Don't even think about it!" Qu Dapeng rolled up his sleeves and stood in front of the black-clad elder.
