Chapter 225 Sister, have you ever met my mother?
Sensing Feng Jin's impatience, Shen Yuepo gently patted his back to soothe him.
Then he looked at Lu Jin and pondered for a moment: "Your sister has a completely Yin body and is also blessed with golden light of merit, which is too attractive to beings like Yun Jingyan."
"Although we failed this time, there's no guarantee there won't be a next time, or that other evil spirits might covet it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin's heart leaped into her throat.
“How about this,” Shen Yuepo made the decision, “I’ll ask my senior brother to come and take your sister to stay at our Xujing Temple for a while.”
"The temple is protected by a protective array, making it quiet and undisturbed, which is more suitable for her to recuperate and avoid some unnecessary trouble. What do you think?"
Lu Jin's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing "Xu Jing Guan".
That's Master Shen's territory!
"Yes, yes! Absolutely!" Lu Jin nodded vigorously, practically moved to tears.
After his initial excitement subsided, he looked at Chen Yuepo with pleading eyes, "Could I also stay at the temple for a few days? Oh, and by the way, my parents are old and were frightened, could they also...?"
He wished his whole family could move there.
Shen Yuepo: "..."
She took a deep breath, trying to keep her tone calm, "Your parents don't need to. There are limited rooms available in the temple, and your sister is the main target."
"She's not at the Lu family home, so those people won't waste their energy going to the Lu residence anymore. I'll leave your parents some extra amulets for good luck; just have them go to places with lots of people around them in the near future."
Although Lu Jin was a little disappointed that her parents couldn't go, she felt that Shen Yuepo's words made sense, and quickly nodded:
"Alright, alright, I'll do as Master says! Does your senior brother have a car? Should I call and arrange for a driver to pick him up? Or is there anything else we need to prepare?"
"My senior doesn't have a car."
She glanced at the rain outside the window and said, "Have someone pick him up. It's about a three-hour drive from Xujing Temple. Contact my senior brother Lin Yanxin when he gets there." Shen Yuepo gave him a phone number.
Lu Jin immediately got up, ignoring her weak legs, took out her phone and started dialing. She went to the outer room and whispered urgently to her parents to let them know she was safe. Then she contacted the driver who was closest to Xujing Temple.
He had only said a few words when he poked his head in again, his face pleading: "Master, um... could you wait until your senior brother arrives before you leave? I... I'm still a little scared..."
He glanced at Feng Jin, his voice even lower, "What if... what if that evil spirit's accomplices come again..."
After the experience of being possessed, he was terrified beyond measure.
Shen Yuepo had already planned to wait until Lin Yanxin took over before leaving, so upon hearing this, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Lu Jin felt as if she had been granted a pardon and thanked him repeatedly. Then, while continuing to give instructions over the phone, she quickly placed a takeout order on her spare phone.
Before long, the outer room of the ward was filled with all kinds of high-end fruits, exquisite snacks, hot drinks and tonics.
These were all thank-you gifts prepared for Shen Yuepo and that seemingly intimidating Mr. Feng.
Shen Yuepo also took out her phone, tapped the screen with her fingertip, and dialed that familiar number.
The phone rang several times before being answered.
The voice that came from the other end of the line, clearly still half asleep, trailed off with a long, drawn-out tone:
"Hmm... Little Moon? What's wrong this rainy day? I just dreamt I was rich, it's all your fault..."
Before he could finish complaining, Shen Yuepo interrupted him, "Central Hospital of the Capital, Ward 808."
Shen Yuepo said succinctly, “A patient with a special constitution needs to stay at the temple temporarily to avoid trouble. Her surname is Lu. Wake up, someone will come to pick you up in a while. You are responsible for bringing her back to the temple safely and settling her in.”
"Haa—"
A long yawn came from the other end of the phone, followed by the rustling sound of fabric, as if Lin Yanxin had finally struggled to sit up.
"Pick someone up? Go back to the temple? Fine, fine... I'll go wherever you point. I need to get Zhang Qingyuan up and come along..." His tone was lazy and resigned, but he agreed readily.
Shen Yuepo raised an eyebrow. This junior brother of hers was never ambiguous when it came to important matters.
I hung up the phone.
Shen Yuepo put her phone back in her pocket, turned around, and her gaze fell on Feng Jin again.
The rain outside had stopped, with only a few raindrops tapping on the glass. The lights in the ward were a cold, pale white.
She reached out, pulled Feng Jin's sleeve, and carefully examined him from head to toe, her brows furrowing slightly: "Are you really not injured?"
The bloodstain on his face, though shallow, was still glaringly obvious.
Feng Jin let her look him over, and even raised his arm slightly in cooperation.
Seeing her so serious, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes, and his tone carried the confidence of a strong person:
"How could a demigod with a weak foundation, who had not even condensed a complete godhood in his previous life, really hurt me?"
He raised his hand, chuckled softly, and casually traced the scar on his cheek with his long, slender fingers.
With a flick of his fingertips, the wound on his face was instantly healed, leaving not a trace.
He deliberately dragged out his words, raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and looked at Shen Yuepo, the smile in his eyes no longer concealed. "Just now... I was just teasing you."
Shen Yuepo instantly realized that he had done it on purpose!
Embarrassed and annoyed at being teased, she pushed Feng Jin away, her voice tinged with anger, "Feng Jin, how childish are you?"
Seeing that she was annoyed, Feng Jin was about to say something—
"Da, da da".
A sudden sound of footsteps rang out at the door of the ward.
It's not Lu Jin.
Lu Jin was still outside the door, making a phone call in a low voice to arrange for a vehicle.
Shen Yuepo and Feng Jin simultaneously composed themselves and turned their gazes toward the doorway.
The door to the ward had been pushed open a crack at some point.
A fluffy little head peeked in timidly.
It was a little boy who looked only five or six years old. He was wearing a faded blue striped hospital gown and was barefoot.
His face was so pale it was almost transparent, and his lips were almost bloodless.
Only those eyes were large and round, dark and bright, filled with the unique innocence and curiosity of a child.
He was carefully observing everything in the room.
His gaze first swept curiously over the various exquisite dishes piled on the table, and he unconsciously licked his lips.
Then I saw Lu Zheng lying quietly on the bed in the inner room.
Finally, it timidly landed on Shen Yuepo and Feng Jin, who were sitting side by side.
The little boy seemed to feel an instinctive fear of the invisible aura emanating from Feng Jin, and his small body shrank back.
Their gazes lingered more on Shen Yuepo, who appeared aloof but not particularly frightening.
He blinked, and spoke softly, his voice weak, "Sister...excuse me, have you...have you seen my mother?"
As he asked the question, he subconsciously wiped his nose with the back of his hand, a gesture that still showed signs of childishness.
Shen Yuepo's gaze suddenly sharpened when he raised his hand.
Ordinary people might not be able to see it, but in her eyes, this little boy had no trace of human life.
A faint, blurry shadow emanated from the edges of his body, and the light from the ward could even vaguely penetrate his body.
A pure, childlike aura, yet devoid of life, lingered around him.
