Chapter 148 was first published by Jiangbei Wen Kang Clan.
Wen Yu choked. She didn't expect Song Linsheng to be unwilling to say it and even keep it in suspense with her.
Her heart moved, and she puffed her cheeks nonchalantly, "It's better not to say it. Anyway, wishing out loud won't come true. You must remember to keep it well."
As soon as Wen Yu finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile. He wanted to see how long Song Linsheng could hold it back.
Unexpectedly, Song Linsheng's expression was serious. He nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. I've heard that too. Xiaoyu and I will have to keep it a secret."
He looked so serious that even Wen Yu was stunned when he saw him.
Xiyan had finished his prayers by then and returned to Song Linsheng and Wen Yu's side. He bent down to count his belongings and asked softly, "Master, Madam Wen, do you want to take a walk around? Or are you heading down the mountain right now?"
Song Linsheng pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Wen Yu. "Everything is up to Xiaoyu."
After all, it was Xiaoyu who took the initiative to propose to go to the Wutong Ancestral Temple to burn incense, so Xiaoyu must want to stay longer. He and Xiyan had nothing urgent to do, so they could naturally accompany Xiaoyu around.
Wen Yu looked left at Xiyan, then right at Song Linsheng. She pursed her lips helplessly and muttered, "I'm afraid whether to stay or not is not up to us to decide."
Song Linsheng paused, and his gentle gaze was tinged with a hint of doubt as he looked at Wen Yu.
Xiyan, who was packing a package on the side, stopped when he heard this and looked at Wenyu in confusion.
"Xiaoyu, how could this be?" Song Linsheng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Wenyu.
Wen Yu brushed the sleeves on both sides of her clothes, then bent down and swept the bottom of her skirt. After her clothes were tidy, she walked towards the statue of the Goddess of Spring again.
Song Linsheng and Xi Yan looked at each other, both confused, not knowing what Wen Yu was doing. Their eyes followed Wen Yu closely, without any deviation.
Wen Yu piled the two cushions on the ground together and raised them a little. She looked up at the statue of the Goddess of Spring with gentle features and sighed in her heart.
Master, someone actually dared to embarrass your disciple in your place. You must help me to enhance my prestige and momentum.
After collecting his thoughts, Wen Yu turned around, lifted his robe and sat down on the mat.
In front of her were the six palace doors, and behind her was the dignified and majestic golden statue of the God of Spring. In addition, there was a slightly raised cushion under her to support her. Wen Yu's aura was truly intimidating.
Song Linsheng and Xi Yan looked at each other. Although they didn't understand what he meant, they walked over consciously and leaned on Wen Yu's left and right sides.
The two of them are tall and straight, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are Wen Yu's left and right protectors.
Wen Yu glanced around, smiled with satisfaction, and then asked with great momentum, "Who is here? Why don't you show yourself?"
When these words were spoken, Song Linsheng and Xi Yan were both shocked. They both looked outside the hall, but except for the door, all other places were blocked, and they could not see the situation outside the hall.
Song Linsheng lowered his eyes, and as his eyes turned, he wanted to go out to see.
Since Xiaoyu said so, she must have her reasons.
No wonder she said it was not up to them to stay or not.
Could it be that someone had followed them up the mountain, but had remained hidden, never revealing themselves? Bandits, pirates? Or perhaps just ordinary civilians?
No matter what it is, he has to go out and take a look first. He can't let Xiaoyu face it alone.
He had made up his mind and was about to take action, but before he could take a step, he was dragged back by a force.
Song Linsheng looked in the direction of the source and found it was Wen Yu.
Wen Yu calmly shook his head at him without changing his expression, and then said, "No need to hide. I've already spotted you on the mountain path."
"I didn't expose it because I was in a hurry to go up the mountain to worship."
Wen Yu let go of Song Linsheng, and without looking back, she went to the table and picked up a fruit.
She recalled in her mind the leisurely and contented look of her master leaning on the incense table that day, holding a willow tree in his arms and fruits in his hands, yet exuding a solemn and awe-inspiring air.
Wen Yu imitated her master's behavior in her memory and slowly took a bite of the fruit in her hand. The crisp sound rang out between her lips and teeth, and the sweetness of the fruit in her mouth made her calmer.
She spoke slowly, "Now that I have finished burning incense, you can show up on your own. Don't wait for me to invite you."
Wen Yu bit the fruit in her mouth to relax herself. She was used to bullying others in the East Heaven Court, but this was the human world, and she was still a little uncomfortable doing such things.
After hearing what Wen Yu said, Xi Yan couldn't help but swallow twice, and his heart became nervous, but he did not retreat. Instead, he bravely stepped forward and stood in front of Wen Yu and Song Linsheng.
No matter what, we must not scare the young master and Madam Wen.
Song Linsheng lowered his eyes for a moment, and after a little thought, he understood that the person Wen Yu was talking about should be related to her sudden pause on the mountain road just now.
Could it be that at that time, the person who came had been following them up the mountain?
Xiaoyu... is really perceptive.
No one answered, and there was silence both inside and outside the hall.
Wen Yu had eaten most of the fruit in her hand. She said nonchalantly, "It's okay if you don't come out. I'll go treat you after I finish eating the fruit."
She increased the force of her bite between her lips and teeth, and the crunching sound was dull, yet sharp.
Xiyan shrugged after hearing this. He felt that the sound was like the hissing sound made by a butcher sharpening his knife.
Mrs. Wen is a little girl, but she is very imposing.
After swallowing the last bite of the fruit, Wen Yu pinched the handle on the core with one hand and held it in front of his eyes to look at it.
Seeing this, Song Linsheng on the side took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms at the right time, then bowed slightly and handed it to Wen Yu.
Wen Yu took the handkerchief and slowly wiped the corners of her lips. When she had wiped away the last bit of remaining juice, the fruit core in her hand slipped out and flew straight out of the hall.
Seeing the fruit core fly out of the door, Wen Yu clapped his hands lightly and stood up suddenly, "Since you insist on doing this, then I-"
"Wait a minute, my lady!"
A female voice came through the door and stopped Wen Yu from finishing his words.
The voice sounded panic-stricken and a little tired, but mostly filled with joy.
Wen Yu frowned, feeling something was amiss. She tilted her head and glanced at Song Linsheng and Xi Yan beside her, both of them seeing a clear look of doubt in their eyes.
What is this person happy about?
He followed them up the mountain halfway, but was unwilling to reveal his whereabouts. He behaved stealthily and moved surreptitiously, not like a good person.
Now that he's been caught red-handed by Wen Yu, how can he still let out such a joyful sound?
Wen Yu was just thinking about it when a flurry of footsteps sounded.
A large group of people poured in. The leader was wearing a navy blue cloak and a hat that covered his entire body, making it impossible to see his face.
But the cut of the cloak's fabric and the intricate and delicate bird embroidery on it were quite impressive.
Not only is this person of considerable background, but judging by his demeanor, he also has ill intentions.
Wen Yu pinched her palms to force herself to calm down. She did not stand up, but just leaned forward slightly and looked at the person who came without any fear.
"Your Excellency is so majestic." Wen Yu's eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he wanted to see through the navy blue cloak.
Unexpectedly, the man suddenly shrank back, and the imposing aura he had just displayed disappeared in an instant, as if he was afraid of displeasing Wen Yu.
She quickly looked around, and at her signal, the followers behind her hurriedly retreated out of the hall.
The group of people retreated all the way to the incense burner in the courtyard, but she still seemed to feel it was not enough, so she waved her hand from the threshold, and the group of people obediently retreated to the main gate of the Wutong Ancestral Temple.
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows and looked at Song Linsheng beside her. Both of them had surprise in their eyes.
I didn't expect this woman to have such a high appeal. Everyone behind her actually obeyed her orders. It seems that she is quite powerful.
"Why bother playing tricks?" Wen Yu said, carefully observing the visitor's movements so she could respond promptly. "Why not be honest?"
The man remained silent, neither answering nor making any unnecessary moves. He simply stood there quietly, his hands tucked into his sleeves.
Wen Yu was sure that the person who came was not a monster or ghost.
She is just a mortal.
But if he was a mortal, why would he pursue her and Song Linsheng in such a high-profile manner?
But…if she was making such a big show, why did she just follow them secretly all the way and not directly confront them? After all, they were outnumbered.
Wen Yu looked at Song Linsheng beside him and nodded with assurance. Then he looked at Xiyan beside him and suddenly had a naughty thought to ease the tense atmosphere.
"Xiyan, do you owe money outside?"
Xiyan was stunned for a moment by her unreasonable question, and then she scolded him, "How is that possible? I can't spend all the wages that the young master gave me in my next life."
Wen Yu curled her lips. It was definitely not a problem of the three of them. If she wanted to know the reason, it seemed she had to ask the person in front of her.
But she didn't say a word and didn't make any movement, which made Wen Yuzhen a little confused.
She seemed completely non-aggressive and showed little desire to attack.
Wen Yu relaxed, not knowing what to do with her. After hesitating for a moment, Wen Yu tentatively asked, "You..."
"May I ask, Madam, is this Madam Wenyu?"
But at the moment Wen Yu opened her mouth, the man also spoke.
Song Linsheng's eyebrows knitted together. Why did this person come to look for Xiaoyu for no reason? Seeing her dress, she didn't look like a wandering person, but rather like the owner of a wealthy family.
Without the slightest hesitation, Song Linsheng immediately stepped forward and stopped in front of Wen Yu. "Why are you asking these questions, Your Excellency?"
The person seemed a little anxious. Hearing Song Linsheng's question, she quickly waved her hands to defend herself: "Don't worry, Master Song. I mean no harm. I just want to ask if this lady is Madam Wenyu."
Lord Song?
Does she recognize herself?
Song Linsheng turned around and looked at Wen Yu, who immediately understood what he meant.
Wen Yu stood up calmly, straightened her clothes, and then walked forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with Song Linsheng, and replied, "I am Wen Yu."
This simple sentence was like a thunderclap exploding in the visitor's heart, and then a storm was about to come and the wind was blowing violently.
She seemed extremely excited, and couldn't control her... joy?
Under the puzzled gazes of Wen Yu and Song Linsheng, the man raised his hand and removed the hood of his cloak that covered half of his face, revealing his entire face.
This woman is about forty years old, well-maintained, with a beautiful face, and her hair is full of pearls and jade, which makes her look very rich. You can tell at a glance that she is of extraordinary status.
But her eye sockets were sunken and dark, and I don’t know how long it has been since she last slept, or what she was so worried about?
Wen Yu saw her face full of joy, her eyes were bloodshot, and she almost burst into tears.
But Wen Yu thought hard and realized that if it was monsters and ghosts, it would be fine, but for mortals... she had no cause and effect with anyone other than Song Linsheng in the mortal world.
This lady...why does she look like she's about to cry when she sees her?
It really made her feel at a loss as to what to do.
However, since she knew Song Linsheng, he must be from Jiangyang Mansion, but she didn't know which family he was from.
As if she could see Wen Yu's confusion, the woman stepped forward and explained solemnly, "Madam Wen Yu, Lord Song, I am from the Wen Kang family of Jiangbei. I have come here today to pay a special visit to Madam Wen Yu."
This time it was Wen Yu's turn to be stunned. She remembered the visiting card she received at Tongzhiyuan a few days ago, which seemed to be from the Wen family.
She turned to look at Song Linsheng beside her, wanting to confirm with him.
This Jiangbei Wen Kang family?
