Xiao Shaoyan and Wen Chenxi almost vomited blood at the same time, and flames shot out of their eyes, shooting straight at Ma Yingbei.
What kind of weird and bloody relationship does this give them?
The two looked at each other with disgust. Only a fool would like him!
Liu Xing looked at Xiao Shaoyan with a different look in his eyes. He said with some admiration, "I didn't expect your taste to be so unique. As expected, good-looking people are so willful."
Then she whispered to him, "Hey, tell me secretly, are you here to pray for your brother or your sister? You must be honest in front of the Buddha, otherwise it will be difficult to find a good match."
Xiao Shaoyan held his breath, "..."
"Of course, one shouldn't be too greedy. It's unrealistic to want both. In my opinion, the younger sister is better. She's delicate and pretty. The older brother isn't so good. He's grown so tall for nothing. Look at his face. He looks sickly. Even if he recovers, he'll be useless..."
Seeing Xiao Shaoyan silent, Liu Xing thought he was thinking about who to choose, and couldn't help but smile obscenely and started to give him "advice".
It was said to be a whisper, but it was late at night and the surroundings were relatively quiet except for the occasional chanting of scriptures. Everyone present heard these words.
Seeing that Xiao Shaoyan and Wen Chenxi's faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot, Wen Xi suppressed his smile and said, "Elder Liu Xing, it's getting late. Please trouble Master Wuming to take us to the wing room to rest."
Liu Xing wanted to continue eating melons, but when Wen Chenxi's chilling eyes swept over him, he shuddered inexplicably. He touched his nose and said, "Okay, Wuming, take the guests to rest. Tomorrow morning, we'll take them to the Main Hall to chant sutras and pray for blessings."
Wen Xi asked casually, "When can we meet Liuyun host?"
When Liu Xing mentioned Master Liuyun, his expression became much more solemn. He clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the Master needs to chant sutras for everyone tonight, so it is not convenient for him to entertain guests. You can wait until tomorrow morning after the prayers and wait for the Master to summon you to give you blessings."
"Sending blessings?"
A glint flashed across Wen Xi's eyes, and she curved her lips and said, "Okay, I'm really looking forward to it."
Wuming continued to lead Wen Xi and others to the wing room, which was a collective flat building near the back mountain. The courtyard usually surrounded the wing room in a circle, with only one entrance and exit.
It looks like...it's trying to trap people inside.
Before leaving, Wuming repeatedly reminded everyone, "Dear guests, it's already night. Please remember to stay in your rooms and don't come out. This will affect the effectiveness of your prayers. If you have any questions, wait until tomorrow morning."
As they watched Wuming leave, the disguised expressions on their faces finally disappeared.
Wen Chenxi slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Xiaoxi, why are you here too?"
Wen Xi said, "I wanted to rest, but when we got to Baiyun Mountain, Grandpa Ma told us that the missing persons case in Hanzhou City was inextricably linked to Wuyuan Temple. Furthermore, Ma Yingbei's mother had infiltrated Wuyuan Temple to investigate the matter, but suddenly lost contact. Ma Yingbei was very worried, so we hurried over."
Xiao Shaoyan narrowed his eyes. "What a coincidence! The clues jointly found by the local police and the Special Management Bureau also led them to this Wuyuan Temple. The undercover agent sent in has also lost contact. From this, I can judge that this incident is indeed related to Wuyuan Temple."
Wen Chenxi continued, "So we disguised our identities and sneaked in to investigate. We didn't expect to run into you right after we entered."
Xiao Shaoyan smiled and said, "This is fate. Originally, Mr. Feng wanted to ask Wen Xi to assist in the investigation."
Wen Chenxi glanced at him sideways and said disdainfully, "Don't always think of taking shortcuts. I brought you out alone this time because I wanted to train you. After all, Mr. Feng is very optimistic about you and hopes that you can become the captain of the third or fourth team in the future."
For them, isn't having Wen Xi just cheating and taking a shortcut?
Xiao Shaoyan touched his nose and said, "Having Wen Xi here is quite a training."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm actually quite curious why we can't operate here at night."
Wen Xi glanced around and found that lights were on in almost every room here. Soon, she realized something was wrong. She frowned and walked to the room next to her with the lights on and pushed the door open.
Ma Yingbei was so surprised that he didn't have time to stop her. He could only watch her push open the door, and the room... was empty.
"What's going on? Is no one living here?"
Ma Yingbei stood at the door, looking inside. "Could it be that that nameless monk is lying to us? Is he trying to deceive us by pretending that they have a huge number of pilgrims?"
Xiao Shaoyan walked in and took a look, then shook his head and said, "No, there are signs that someone has lived here, and the luggage and clothes are all there."
Ma Yingbei wondered, "Where did that person go? Didn't they say he wasn't allowed to go out at night?"
Wen Chenxi ignored him. In order to verify his guess, he went to the door of another room with a light on and opened it easily.
Just as they thought, they opened the doors of almost all the rooms and found that there was no one inside.
So... where did the people go?
"Damn, why do I feel a chill down my back?"
Cold sweat broke out on the tip of Xiao Shaoyan's nose.
Ma Yingbei frowned, "How did she disappear? Where did my mother go?"
Wen Chenxi walked out of a room and said calmly, "There were no signs of a fight, and nothing unusual. They left on their own."
Wen Xi said, "Instead of letting your imagination run wild here, why not go out and look for them? Although Wuyuan Temple is quite large, it's not likely to hide so many people that we can't see them."
Wen Chenxi said, "Okay, let's split up and go take a look."
Xiao Shaoyan took the initiative and said, "I'm in the same group with Wen Xi."
Ma Yingbei glanced at him and asked, "Why?"
Xiao Shaoyan spoke nonsense in a serious tone, "If I get caught, I can come up with an excuse. For example, I tried every possible means to get the goddess of my dreams to go out for a walk at night, and when I couldn't help myself, I naturally forgot the rules."
The other three looked at him with disdain. What a weird reason.
Wen Xi and Xiao Shaoyan followed the signs and groped their way towards the Main Hall, while Wen Chenxi and Ma Yingbei chose another direction.
On the dark road, the closer you get to the brightly lit temple, the more sounds you can hear.
Xiao Shaoyan said, "Wen Xi, did you hear that? Is that the sound of chanting?"
"Um."
Wen Xi and the others came to the nearest hall, from which came the dense sound of chanting. Judging from the sound, there were at least ten people chanting.
