For a moment, all the girls subconsciously looked at Lianxing, and then at Shuimu Yinji, their eyes filled with doubt.
"When did those two become so close?"
After finishing breakfast, Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "Young Master, shall we go directly to the Northern Shaolin Temple now, or should we wander around the city first?"
Chu Qinghe said slowly, "Let's take care of business first! Otherwise, we'll have made a wasted trip."
Seeing this, the jellyfish-like Yin Ji beside her asked, "Do you think the Great Yuan Dynasty will take action against the Northern Shaolin Temple ahead of schedule?"
Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "The possibility is very small, but we cannot rule out this possibility."
After all, the Yuan Dynasty hasn't made a move, so anything is possible.
It's not impossible that the Great Yuan Kingdom might feel that having too many targets at once means they want to deal with the Northern Shaolin Temple first, and then imprison and kill the people of the Great Song martial arts world.
At least Chu Qinghe is capable of doing something like this.
Put yourself in their shoes; what if the Great Yuan Kingdom also liked to play such underhanded tricks?
A moment later, after the group walked to the entrance of the inn and entered the carriage, Shui Mu Yin Ji said, "There are more people watching us than yesterday. It seems that the people of the Great Yuan Kingdom have already guessed that we will also be going to the Northern Shaolin Temple today."
Hearing what Jellyfish Yin Ji said, Chu Qinghe rubbed the little guy and replied calmly, "It's not that you guessed we would go to Shaolin today, but that you wanted to confirm when we would leave North Shaolin, or this Yanzhou City."
Upon hearing this, Jellyfish Yin Ji thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "Indeed, at such a critical juncture, such a change has occurred. Anyone would be anxious in this situation."
Chu Qinghe sighed and said, "It looks like we'll have to go through some more trouble in a few days."
"Um?"
Upon hearing the voice, Shui Mu Yin Ji, Lian Xing, and Wang Yu Yan, who all keenly sensed the problem, looked at Chu Qinghe with suspicion.
Lianxing couldn't help but ask, "Brother-in-law, weren't you planning to stay out of this conflict between the Yuan and Song dynasties?"
In response to Lianxing's question, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "Strictly speaking, it doesn't count as participation."
Then, before the women could ask any more questions, Chu Qinghe said lazily, "It will be clear in a few days. It's not appropriate to say it now."
Although it was unclear what Chu Qinghe was referring to at that moment, the women didn't press him for details.
Soon, as the carriage carrying the group traveled along, and as they passed through a grove of trees and the view opened up, Qu Feiyan immediately spotted five mountains of varying heights in the distance.
Two of them were even very close together.
At first glance, they resemble five mountains that look like a Buddha's hand twirling.
It is Wufoshan, where the North Shaolin Temple gate is located.
Under the bright sunshine, gazing at the Five Buddha Mountain that resembles a Buddha's hand reaching out, one can't help but feel a sense of awe.
Compared to the location of the Northern Shaolin Temple's main gate, the location of the Southern Shaolin Temple's main gate in the Ming Dynasty seemed rather ordinary.
An hour later, as the time approached the end of the 9-11 AM, Chu Qinghe and his group finally arrived at the Zhongshan Peak of Wufoshan to receive pilgrims.
Just like Wudang.
At the foot of Wufo Mountain, there are also places specifically for storing horse-drawn carriages, as well as stalls selling items such as incense or memorial tablets.
The only difference is that those responsible for these matters at the foot of Wudang Mountain are merchants from outside who have sensed the business opportunities, while those responsible for these matters at the foot of Wufo Mountain are monks from the Northern Shaolin Temple.
In other words, this carriage storage business belongs to the Northern Shaolin Temple.
Apart from that, it's just their own business.
The price was even higher than in Yanzhou City.
Wang Yuyan glanced at the signs next to the stalls and said, "In order not to compete with the merchants in Yanzhou City, the Northern Shaolin Temple actually put up a sign next to this shop, indicating that the prices of goods at the foot of the mountain are better, and it is best to buy them in Yanzhou City."
Listening to what Wang Yuyan said, Lianxing glanced at the signs next to the stalls or shops, and then gave Wang Yuyan a strange look.
Seeing that Wang Yuyan really didn't understand, Lianxing slowly said, "If you really don't want to compete with the people of Yanzhou City for business, you don't need to sell these things at the foot of this mountain instead of putting up a sign. Do you think we have to travel thirty miles to Yanzhou City to buy incense and come back?"
Upon hearing the voice, Wang Yuyan was initially taken aback, but quickly realized what Lianxing meant.
He immediately lowered his head slightly and said, "So that's how it is. Yu Yan was thinking too simply."
Lin Shiyin, standing to the side, shook her head and said, "It's no wonder, Miss Wang. It can only be said that the Northern Shaolin Temple is too shrewd. They want to gain a good reputation while also making money. How could an ordinary person see through that?"
Hearing Lin Shiyin's words, Wang Yuyan sighed again.
At the same time, Wang Yuyan understood why Li Qingluo hadn't let her leave Mantuo Manor so easily.
The outside world and even people's hearts are far more complex than Wang Yuyan imagined.
After Xiao Zhao returned from parking the carriage, Chu Qinghe and his companions slowly stepped onto the mountain peak amidst the frequent sidelong glances and scrutiny of the surrounding monks and pedestrians, heading towards the Mahavira Hall at the summit.
However, as the group walked, Lianxing and Shuimu Yinji gradually huddled together. Under the subtle concealment of their inner energy, it was difficult to discern what they were whispering about.
In response, Qu Feiyan walked behind Chu Qinghe, tugged at his sleeve, and asked, "Young Master, why have Sister Lianxing and Sister Situ suddenly become so close?"
Previously, the relationship between Lianxing and Shuimu Yinji was not bad, but the girls thought it was normal.
Things would never be like this.
As they walked together, they used their inner energy to transmit their voices the whole way, their intimacy becoming somewhat abnormal.
In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Chu Qinghe replied irritably, "How would I know?"
Qu Feiyan asked in astonishment, "Young Master, you spend every day in the carriage with them, how could you not know?"
Chu Qinghe rolled her eyes and said, "It's not like you don't know what we did inside the carriage."
Despite his words, Chu Qinghe also glanced at Shuimu Yinji and Lianxing.
Seeing Lianxing's affectionate smile, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
I have a feeling that this silly girl is going to be sold out by the Jellyfish Yin Princess.
