So, she absolutely has to collect all the dzi beads?
She originally thought that collecting all nine dzi beads would allow her to travel back in time, but it turned out that it only allowed her body and soul to merge into one.
To extend one's life, one must accumulate additional merit.
Even after time-traveling, we can't just relax; we still have to complete our performance reviews.
This made her very unhappy.
She glared at the monk and said, "You made all this up when you had nothing better to do, didn't you? Even if you're threatening me, I won't believe you."
The senior monk smiled slightly: "Whether you believe it or not is up to you. I am merely stating my own calculations."
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
Sure enough, I hate charlatans the most.
Yi Shuihan was also skeptical of the monk's words, but he dared not be overconfident, as it concerned Xiao Qingyin's life.
Will donating to the temple help her accumulate merit?
If possible, he would sell off his assets and do whatever it takes to ensure Xiao Qingyin lives to a ripe old age.
The senior monk shook his head.
Xiao Qingyin raised an eyebrow: "Then you still dare to write the word 'merit' on the donation box?"
The senior monk put his hands together and said, "The merits that Benefactor Xiao needs are different from those of ordinary people."
Xiao Qingyin remained silent.
Do good deeds also have to be divided into different levels?
After asking all the questions he wanted to ask, Yi Shuihan had the head monk sent to the guest quarters.
Then he asked Xiao Qingyin, "What do you think?"
"I have to try it first."
Xiao Qingyin touched the dzi bead necklace around her neck and replied.
"Maybe I'll wake up just in time to find you putting the dzi bead on my head?"
Yi Shuihan frowned: "Isn't this too risky?"
The feeling of being able to only watch her lie there helplessly, unable to do anything about it, is something you only need to experience once.
"How can we verify whether his words are true or false if we don't try?"
Xiao Qingyin replied.
"Running away won't solve the problem."
Yi Shuihan naturally understood this principle.
He was just really afraid of losing her.
However, if what the senior monk said is true, they still need to find a way to deal with it.
The sooner we figure it out, the sooner we can solve it.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's give it a try."
Just like last time, he helped Xiao Qingyin remove the dzi bead string.
For the first few seconds, Xiao Qingyin felt nothing, but soon everything went black and she fainted.
Yi Shuihan immediately put a string of dzi beads on her.
Xiao Qingyin immediately woke up.
Both of them looked extremely grim.
The old monk's words were proven true, meaning they had to collect all the dzi beads and accumulate merit in order to extend Xiao Qingyin's life.
Yi Shuihan embraced her tightly.
"I will immediately send people to search for the whereabouts of the dzi bead with all their might."
Xiao Qingyin gave a soft "hmm".
"I'm a little hungry and I'd like to eat something first."
"Okay, let's go have breakfast."
The two then went to the dining room for a meal.
Princess Zhaoyang was relieved to learn that Xiao Qingyin had awakened.
"It's good that you're awake. We and Han'er were terrified these past few days."
"I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"Eat more. You haven't eaten for two days and you've lost weight."
"Okay, thank you, Mother."
After the meal, Xiao Qingyin went to see the head monk again to inquire about the whereabouts of the last dzi bead.
The head monk pointed to the north.
Xiao Qingyin frowned: "Northern Jin or Western Lin?"
"This old monk only knows the general direction."
Xiao Qingyin felt a headache coming on when she thought of what Princess Xilin had said about the dzi bead being in her possession.
The woman was waiting for her to bring the bird to exchange for Fu Junshi.
If she goes to look for the Heavenly Bead, wouldn't she be walking into a trap?
She would rather the dzi bead be in North Gold.
After all, she had some connection with the Second Prince of Beijin.
After returning to the hospital, Yi Shuihan told her the news he had just received: "Fu Junshi is indeed in Xilin Capital, imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison."
"Are you sure it's him? Could it be someone wearing a mask and impersonating him?"
"The people over there have tested it; it's him."
After speaking, Yi Shuihan hesitated for a moment before continuing, "He was severely tortured and his condition is not good. Xilin did not treat his injuries; they only kept him alive with medicine. He may not last much longer."
Xiao Qingyin's heart sank.
Xilin did this on purpose; they wanted to force her to go there.
"Can they be rescued?"
Yi Shuihan shook his head: "He can't be saved. His cell is made of special materials and there's no door. We can't get in."
Unless that material is cracked.
But that was a secret of Xilin; outsiders didn't even know what it was, let alone obtain it, so how could they crack it?
Xiao Qingyin: "..."
I'm mentally exhausted.
They want to wipe out Xilin all at once.
She pondered for a moment, then said to Yi Shuihan, "I have a plan, would you like to hear it?"
Yi Shuihan nodded.
She said softly, "I want to go to Xilin..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yi Shuihan interrupted him: "No, I don't agree."
Xiao Qingyin glared at him.
"Let me finish."
Yi Shuihan stared at her intently.
Xiao Qingyin turned her face away and continued, "I want to go to Xilin, but not in my own name. I'll find someone else to take Xiaobai and Xiaohong there."
The masks used by Qin Shi and her daughter Tan Ruoyan were all in her hands. After being soaked in a special solution, the masks would become as soft as water. Once applied to the face and allowed to solidify, a lifelike mask could be obtained.
With a body double as a cover, she can act in private and avoid attracting attention.
It makes it easier to rescue people or find dzi beads.
Yi Shuihan said sternly, "A substitute can go, but you don't need to. I will have someone rescue people and find the Heavenly Pearl."
