The guards looked up in surprise. Ever since the young master recovered from his injuries, the first thing he did was to order his men to surround the empty mountain and forbid anyone from entering or leaving the temple. The monks in the temple swept the courtyard, washed clothes, and made fires. Every move they made was under their watchful eyes.
Given all this, would Master Liaoshan really think the young master is kind and benevolent?
The next moment, Rong Heng spoke up and cleared up his confusion: "Go and arrest all the monks, bring them to the door of Shan Chan's room, and kill one person every hour. If he doesn't come out to see me, I will kill until he does."
The guard tightened his grip on his sword.

He stood before the railing, a mountain breeze blowing gently, making his gaze drift into the distance: "In the past six months, I have met a woman who knows me very well and knows many of my secrets. I have read in storybooks that there is often talk of predestined relationships and the connection between past and present lives, so I wanted to ask you, Master, if this woman and I could perhaps have some kind of predestined relationship?"
