Having never emerged from a dream so lucidly before, Shi Mingyue rose from her desk and returned to reality, still behind the bronze door. Suddenly, she paused. The monk who had been sitting behind the desk had disappeared. Subconsciously, she turned around to search for the white figure, only to meet the monk's cold eyes.
"You... who are you?" Shi Mingyue asked tentatively.
The monk suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, "My Buddhist name is Yishang."
Yishang? Shi Mingyue quickly realized that Yishang was He Jun's Buddhist name. She couldn't believe that someone from two hundred years ago was actually standing in front of her alive. "You are He Jun!"
"Your reaction is so strong. Let me guess. It must have been a hundred years since Tianyun destroyed the country, right?"
Shi Mingyue then remembered that her rebirth was entirely due to He Jun's prayer wheel, so it wasn't surprising that he could live for a hundred years. She calmed down and said, "Yes, two hundred and twenty years have passed."
"Is it still the Fu family's world?"
"yes."
He Jun didn't react in any particular way. He just lazily glanced at Qin Zheng, who had already woken up, and said, "I'm leaving now. Please do as you please."
Shi Mingyue was sharp-eyed. Seeing He Jun taking the prayer wheel and trying to leave, she couldn't let him leave easily. She immediately stood up and chased after him: "Master."
He Jun did not stop, but continued walking while asking, "What else do you want?"
"A hundred years from now, everything will be different. Where will the master go?"
He Jun slowed down his pace and walked out of the tunnel. Seeing the guards still lying unconscious on the ground, he was obviously surprised: "You are quite brave."
Seeing that it was still dark outside, Shi Mingyue thought that the dream she had just had must have been very short. Fortunately, no one had discovered it yet, so it was not advisable to stay here for long.
"Have you heard of the Xu family in Taizhou? They are famous for their medical skills." He Jun suddenly asked.
The Xu family of Taizhou! Isn't that Xu Ziling and her father Xu Tiandong? He Jun actually knew the Xu family. Shi Mingyue was shocked. After a moment's thought, she replied, "I know them. The Xu family now only has one orphan girl left. I happen to be friends with her. Master, why don't you come with me?"
Qin Zheng heard their conversation from behind. He coldly exposed Shi Mingyue's lie: "Master, why don't you come with me? Perhaps we can find the orphan girl of the Xu family faster."
Shi Mingyue was calm and composed. What she saw and felt in her dream made her mood different from usual. There was no point in letting resentment occupy her heart. She wanted to remember more warm and beautiful things.
He Jun noticed the strange atmosphere between the two of them. He smiled and said, "It seems that both of you know someone from the Xu family." He paused here, as if sensing something, and his expression became alert. "I think we should leave this deep pit first. There are many people rushing here right now."
This was the most urgent matter right now. If anyone saw her here, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even if she opened her mouth a hundred times. Shi Mingyue and the other two reached the edge of the earthen wall. She didn't want Qin Zheng to take her up, so she climbed the rope ladder. She heard He Jun humbly say, "If you don't mind, I'll take you up."
Shi Mingyue remembered that He Jun seemed to be good at martial arts. Before she could react, He Jun had already hugged her waist and jumped up onto the deep pit.
As soon as he landed, he immediately let her go, bowed his head and apologized, "I'm sorry."
Qin Zheng also came up, feeling deeply frustrated. She actually hated him so much.
The three of them quickly left the back door of Yongjin Temple, took the left path and entered the fir forest. After a while, they could see the front of Yongjin Temple. There were many people gathered there. Shi Mingyue saw Fu Yueli, Fu Baiheng, Fu Fenglin and other people she was familiar with. How could they have come back so quickly?
"Are those people from the royal family?" He Jun asked.
Shi Mingyue thought to herself that He Jun was, after all, a member of the royal family of Tianyun Kingdom. Even though he had become a monk and renounced all worldly desires, he should still be concerned about the Fu family who had replaced him and wiped out the He royal family.
"Yes." Qin Zheng suddenly answered his question.
He Jun's thoughts jumped, and he asked again: "Who should I go with?"
Shi Mingyue didn't say anything. She couldn't figure out what He Jun was thinking. She didn't know whether he harbored any hatred towards the Fu family.
"Come with me." Qin Zheng said.
He Jun looked at Shi Mingyue and asked curiously, "Why didn't you let me go with you this time?"
Shi Mingyue thought about it. The historical records show that He Jun was well-versed in Buddhism and had a transcendent mind, which must be different from ordinary people. So she told him frankly, "Because I am a member of the royal family, will you mind, Master?"
He Jun was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "The rise and fall of dynasties has been a universal truth since ancient times. The Tianyun Kingdom has run out of luck, so no one else can be blamed. Is your husband the white-eyed man who just entered the temple?"
"Yes," Shi Mingyue was surprised at He Jun's attentiveness. He could actually tell their relationship from the way she looked at Fu Yueli. She had to admire his broad mind.
Qin Zheng realized that He Jun had no intention of paying any attention to him, and couldn't help but say, "Master, can't you see that we are all destined to be with you? It's related to your prayer wheel."
He Jun said, "I know you're both very interested in the prayer wheel. Something went wrong with it, allowing your souls to escape the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn. This is also an opportunity for you two, so cherish it. As for the prayer wheel, it has no other use."
Qin Zheng's eyes dimmed. He had originally thought that if turning the prayer wheel could bring him back to life, it could also send him back to a certain point in his previous life. He wanted to prevent the tragedy before Tang Nuan hurt Mingyue. Then everything would be different, instead of being like this now, Mingyue becoming someone else's wife and hating him so much. It turned out to be a false alarm, and Qin Zheng left, heartbroken.
He Jun then followed Shi Mingyue back to Prince Ling's mansion and knocked on the gate. The servants were puzzled when they saw Shi Mingyue. When did the princess leave? And why did she return with a monk before dawn? Who was this monk?
When Hongyin saw Shi Mingyue, she was overjoyed: "Princess, you are back!"
Shi Mingyue felt strange and found out that not long after she was abducted by Qin Zheng, Fu Yueli rushed back home at dawn, but found that she was not in the bedroom. He was shocked and told Hongyin not to say anything and left immediately.
She made him worry about herself again. Shi Mingyue ordered people to settle He Jun, but she was troubled about whether she should send someone to Yongjin Temple to tell Fu Yueli that she was safe.
Fortunately, while she was still struggling, a servant came to tell her that the prince had returned.
Rushing to see him, Shi Mingyue paused at the door. He looked exhausted, perhaps having not rested in a long time. The moment Fu Yueli saw her, his heart instantly settled. He rushed forward and hugged her tightly, seemingly unwilling to let go. Fortunately, she was safe, and he didn't want to experience that feeling of anxiety and worry again.
