"Miss, you are thoughtful."
Nanny Sun took the gold bracelet, twitched her lips, and went to add incense money. As for who the eternal lamp was for, she didn't even need to ask.
Lianyi, accompanied by Yingtao and three other maids, returned to the women's room. When Nanny Sun came back, she prepared a table of vegetarian food. This is one of the major features of the Huguo Temple. After all, so much money has been donated, so a meal can still be afforded.
After the group finished their meal, they went to rest early. They were very tired from climbing the mountain during the day and basically fell asleep as soon as they touched the pillow.
The same thing happened to Cherry, who was sleeping on the small couch in Ripple's room. She began to snore soon after.
"Master, I'm back."
Duoduo came to Lianyi and whispered.
Lianyi opened her eyes, inserted Duoduo directly into her hair bun, and then sat up from the bed.
"What's the surrounding environment like?"
"There is a spiritual stone vein in the mountain range where the Huguo Temple is located, but the grade is a bit low, belonging to the lower grade, barely enough for you to cultivate to the foundation building stage."
Duoduo replied immediately.
"Don't be too greedy. This Huguo Temple is related to the fate of the Great Huan Dynasty. We can't do anything too extreme. I will stay here for three days at most. I will improve my cultivation to the extent that I can deal with the harem fights without any problem."
"Master, come with me. There is a place that is very suitable for training."
Duoduo said immediately.
"Is it far?"
“It’s under the Bodhi tree in the backyard.”
Lianyi nodded with satisfaction, rolled up her clothes and stuffed them into the quilt, pretending that someone was sleeping, and then tiptoed out of her yard.
Under Duoduo's guidance, she tiptoed to the top of the Bodhi tree, then sat cross-legged on the top of the tree and began to absorb the spiritual energy scattered around.
The first half of the night was very peaceful, and Lianyi's practice was going very smoothly. Just when she was about to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, she heard a sound of breaking air, and then the sound of a knife piercing flesh.
"Master, there's something exciting to watch!"
Duoduo reminded immediately.
Lianyi immediately stopped practicing, opened her eyes and looked into the darkness. She had now entered the ranks of monks, so her facial senses were much sharper than those of ordinary people. She saw what was happening outside the courtyard wall at the first moment.
Three people were besieged. The noise just now was that one of the three was hacked to death, and the other one was protecting the remaining person and retreating towards the wall of Huguo Temple.
Obviously, the person being protected is very important, so the two men would fight to the death to protect him. However, there are too many men in black, a total of ten of them, and each of them is ruthless and deadly in their attacks, and they are aiming to silence him.
Lianyi didn't want to get involved in these things. After all, his mission was only to fulfill the original body's wish, and it would be better if the fate of others should not be changed because of her.
"Lianyi, you'd better save the person who is being besieged. It will help you complete your mission."
Shijiu suddenly spoke.
"What is his identity?"
"The eldest prince of the Great Huan Dynasty."
"The eldest prince? Isn't he the crown prince yet?"
Just a name, and Lianyi discovered the crux of the problem.
"He will soon be made the crown prince, as long as he survives tonight's disaster."
"I see. He is blocking other people's way."
The struggle for imperial power was more brutal than they had imagined.
"Ouch! Hurry up and take action. The last guard has also been killed."
Shijiu immediately reminded.
Lianyi leaped high and landed lightly from the top of the Bodhi tree onto the red wall of the Huguo Temple. Then, with a twist of her wrist, the Life-Destroying Silk blocked the fatal blow for the eldest prince.
The assassins who were besieging the eldest prince were all frightened. The deadly thread was transparent, and there was no trace of it in the dark, which made them think that the eldest prince was protected by an unknown object.
The eldest prince was stabbed twice. Although the wounds were not fatal, he lost a lot of blood, so he was slow in dodging. He saw that he had no chance of survival, but the knife stopped above his head and would not fall down.
He immediately gritted his teeth and kicked the assassin out, using the force of the kick to push backwards, with his body just against the wall of the Huguo Temple.
"Amitabha, this is a pure land of Buddhism, how dare you commit the sin of killing! Put down your butcher knives quickly, the Buddha will save you, otherwise you will only fall into hell!"
Lianyi, dressed in white, stood on the wall and spoke to the ten assassins in a pretentious manner.
Since she wants to save people, she should have a legitimate reason. The eldest prince should remember such a great favor. However, it is inconvenient for her to show her face, but it is okay to expose her voice and figure.
When the assassins found out that it was Lianyi who was behind this, they were no longer afraid. After all, their mission was to kill the eldest prince. Although this woman had accidentally discovered their actions, she was now on their kill list.
The leader of the assassins waved his hand, and the rest of the assassins split into two, one group attacked Lianyi, and the other attacked the eldest prince.
Lianyi had already heard the monks on night duty coming this way, so she turned her wrist and split the fatal thread into ten parts, which instantly penetrated into the eyebrows of ten people. In just two breaths, Lianyi turned the situation around, and ten people fell to the ground silently.
Then Lianyi wrapped the eldest prince with the deadly silk, pulled him from outside the wall into the courtyard, and placed him on the way where the monk on duty was coming, and then she retired after completing her mission.
Before the eldest prince fainted, he only saw a graceful white figure. He knew he was safe and fell into a coma completely.
Lianyi returned to her room and took a nap before being woken up by Yingtao. After she had washed and dressed, and was eating porridge, she heard a commotion outside the yard.
"Madame Sun, can you go and see what happened?"
"Yes, Miss!"
Nanny Sun responded immediately.
She was a light sleeper, and she noticed in the second half of the night that something seemed to be happening in the Huguo Temple. Many people came, and they did not deliberately lower their voices, so she woke up immediately. The noise has not subsided until now, and she had a hunch that something was not simple.
Lianyi calmly finished her porridge and waited for Nanny Sun's report.
About an incense stick of time later, Nanny Sun came back in a hurry and saw Lianyi the first thing she saw:
"Miss, something happened at Huguo Temple last night."
"What's up?"
"There's been a murder. It seems someone from the royal family was injured and was rescued by Abbot Huiyuan. Someone is searching around the Huguo Temple right now."
Nanny Sun frowned.
"Ah? Well, then, let's go back to the mansion as soon as possible!"
Lianyi immediately pretended to be at a loss.
"Miss, we can't leave Huguo Temple until we finish searching the mountain. What if we are mistaken for the murderer?"
Nanny Sun also wanted to go back, but she was also afraid of being implicated. After all, it involved the royal family. What if they couldn't find the murderer and just found someone as a scapegoat? Although they were female relatives, what if!
"Then I will stay in the wing for the next two days and not go out. You tell everyone to keep a low profile."
Lianyi frowned slightly and said while holding the handkerchief.
"Yes, Miss!"
The eldest prince on the other side finally woke up. When he saw Huiyuan presiding over the meeting, his first words were:
"Master Huiyuan, are there any women who practice Buddhism with their hair uncut in your temple?"
