Jiang Si did not ask Miss Xiu anything, but walked towards the gate of the ruined temple step by step.

"Princess——" Long Dan called out, with a worried look on his face.

He is a fearless person, but he can't handle the princess.

Jiang Si did not stop and whispered, "Come in with me."

The two of them walked towards the ruined temple together, and Ah Man followed without hesitation.

The three stones were not far from the ruined temple. Jiang Si quickly walked to the temple gate and paused slightly.

Long Dan whispered, "Princess, please let me go in first."

Jiang Si didn't try to show off and just nodded slightly.

Unexpectedly, just as Long Dan took a step toward the door, a female voice came from inside: "Stop!"

That voice doesn't sound young anymore.

Jiang seemed to sound familiar and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Soon the voice sounded again: "Only Princess Yan can come in."

Long Dan sneered: "How ridiculous! Lady Xiu is not in your hands, so how can our princess get in?"

This person has absolutely no idea about the role of hostages. How can you send the hostages out first and then threaten them?

Long Dan complained in his heart and felt that the people in the temple were all fools.

But in Jiang Si's opinion, the people in the temple were not confused.

The reason why Lady Xiu was released first was because she was an insignificant hostage and the other party did not think that she could be threatened by her.

The role played by Lady Xiu on that person was probably just to lead her here.

The voice was accompanied by a hint of laughter: "Your princess will come in."

Long Dan immediately looked at Jiang Si: "Princess——"

Jiang Si's expression changed several times, and he really walked inside.

Yin Xin Zhu, a faintly familiar voice... She had already guessed who that person was.

In this case, as the man said, she would go in.

That person was in the temple and came to her so suddenly. She couldn't just go back without even daring to see him. She had to find out why he was so bold as to come to her.

Seeing this, Long Dan became anxious: "Princess, there is danger. If anyone needs to go in, I will go in first!"

Jiang Si's eyes were slightly cold: "It's okay, just wait at the door."

"Princess..." Long Dan didn't dare to agree.

Jiang Si had no choice but to say, "I've seen that person before. I'll pay attention to his safety."

"But it's still too risky!"

Jiang Si smiled at Long Dan and said, "So you wait at the door. If there's any movement, just rush in. I believe that with your reaction, you will have no problem dealing with an old woman."

Seeing that Jiang seemed to insist, Long Dan had no choice but to agree.

The princess is right. If he can't guarantee the princess' safety when facing an old woman, then he has no business being around.

Don't be afraid of a thousand things, just be prepared for the worst.

In the midst of Long Dan's endless entanglement, Jiang Si had already walked into the ruined temple, and Ah Man was still left outside.

Ah Man stared at Long Dan and threatened him in a low voice: "If the princess makes a mistake, you're done for!"

Long Dan was nervous and rolled his eyes when he heard this: "I'm listening to what's going on inside, don't distract me!"

Ah Man immediately became obedient.

The brat dared to threaten her. She would go and complain to her cousin Dou when she got home.

There was a damp smell in the dilapidated temple, the altar was covered with dust, and cobwebs remained in the corners of the walls and on the beams.

Jiang Si looked around and his eyes fell on one place.

There was an old woman sitting cross-legged. Her appearance could not be clearly seen in the dim light, but Jiang Si had already recognized her. It was the Elder Hua whom she had guessed outside the temple.

Elder Hua remained silent, and Jiang Si spoke first: "After saying goodbye at the shop on Xishi Street, I didn't expect to see Elder Hua here."

The ancestor of Elder Hua was originally arrested and thrown into the imperial prison, but he escaped without anyone noticing not long after. It has been a source of worry for Emperor Jingming and a great shame for Jinlinwei.

Emperor Jingming later sent envoys to Wumiao, but did not find the whereabouts of Elder Hua's ancestors.

Jiang Si was indeed very surprised that Elder Hua could appear in this dilapidated temple, and his mind raced as he tried to guess the other party's purpose.

Did Elder Hua return to Wu Miao after escaping?

At that time, Nanny Duo took the opportunity of accompanying the Queen Mother out of the palace to burn incense to meet with Elder Hua. From Elder Hua, she learned that the Wu Miao Saint, whose true identity was difficult to distinguish from that of a fake, appeared in the capital. However, Nanny Duo had not met her at that time and could not tell Elder Hua about her identity as the Princess of Yan.

In other words, Elder Hua only knew that the Saint was in the capital, but did not know her identity.

But now Elder Hua obviously knew it, so he used Madam Xiu to lure her here.

"Why is Elder Hua's granddaughter not here?" Seeing that Elder Hua still remained silent, Jiang Si asked again.

Elder Hua finally spoke, but he did not answer Jiang Si's question. Instead, he said in Wu Miao language: "You are not a saint."

Outside the door, Long Dan and A Man were listening with their ears tilted up. They were immediately dumbfounded and could only look at each other in bewilderment.

Jiang Si smiled slightly and said in Wu Miao language: "Why don't you believe me, Elder Hua? I am really a saint. I came to the capital with a secret mission just like you."

Elder Hua was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I went back to Wu Miao and met the Great Elder."

Jiang Si didn't show any abnormality on her face, but she understood in her heart why Elder Hua was sure that she was not a saint.

When he met the Great Elder, he naturally knew that Saint Asan was dead.

"The saint is seriously ill and is recuperating in seclusion in the clan, so you can't be the saint." Elder Hua stared at Jiang Sidao.

Jiang Si's eyebrows moved slightly.

It seems that the death of Saint Asan is too heavy for Wu Miao, and Elder Hua still dares not tell the truth.

Jiang Si was silent, but Elder Hua started to talk more: "Who are you? Why do you look exactly like the Saint of our tribe? And why do you know the Wu Miao language and even the Wu Miao magic?"

Elder Hua asked several questions in a row, but got no response from Jiang Si. The wrinkles between his eyebrows became deeper. "Why don't you speak?"

Jiang Si suddenly laughed: "If Elder Hua asks, do I have to answer? But if I answer, will you believe me?"

"You said it, and I can naturally judge whether to believe it or not."

"Well, that's my answer. I was born and raised in Da Zhou and have never been to Wu Miao. I don't know why Elder Hua asked all these questions, and I'm wondering about it myself."

Elder Hua looked a little unhappy, and she obviously thought Jiang Si was playing a trick on her.

But Jiang Siyan's identity as the princess made her helpless. She frowned for a while and sighed, "Forget it. Let's not talk about how you did all this. This time I met you because I want to ask you for help."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Si asked calmly, with a vague guess in his mind.

As expected, Elder Hua said, "Recently, rumors have spread among our tribe that the Saint is no longer alive, causing great anxiety among the tribe members. Unfortunately, the Saint cannot see anyone due to health reasons, and is unable to come forward to comfort the tribe members. This time I came to ask you to travel south and appear in front of the tribe members as our Saint to comfort the people."

Jiang Si couldn't help but laugh after hearing what Elder Hua said: "I am the Princess of Yan, why should I agree to Elder Hua's ridiculous request?"

Elder Hua raised his lips and said calmly, "What if there is a reason why you have to go?"
