"Master, it's time for your meal."
Upon seeing Jin Liu, Murong Zhi exclaimed, "Oh, when did you arrange for this girl to come here?"
Murong Jin: "These past two days."
Murong Zhi: "I heard from the steward that Yi Yi and the others think you don't use female bodyguards because you dislike girls."
"There are also some rumors that you're surrounded by men, so you probably like men, but I haven't seen you and that man have a close relationship..."
"I heard last time that you're gay. I don't see anything wrong with being gay, but if you like women... your father thinks there's something wrong with your orientation..."
Murong Jin: "Whether you like men or women, as long as you like them, who cares if they're male or female?"
Murong Zhi shook his head. "You don't understand. We old-fashioned folks are waiting for your only daughter and only son to carry on the family line."
Murong Jin scoffed, "Then why did you want my mother to carry on the family line in the first place?"
Murong Zhi: "...Of course, it's because I love your mother."
Murong Jin: "..."
Murong Zhi stroked his chin. "However, your mother and your aunt only had daughters. If they had a son, they wouldn't have to worry about their two daughters being deceived by other men."
"By the way, girl, let me tell you something. When you're looking for a man in the future, keep your eyes open. Don't be deceived by men. Two-faced men are very good at pretending."
Murong Jin had a headache. "Let's eat, Dad."
"Oh..." It seems my daughter doesn't want to listen to his nonsense.
He should keep a closer eye on her from now on, so that no other man can steal his capable daughter away.
At the dinner table were two members of the Murong family.
Murong Zhi looked at the unfamiliar food on the table and asked, "Did they change chefs?"
"I've adopted a younger sister. She's probably busy at the shop right now. I'll introduce her to you when I have time."
Murong Zhi was taken aback. Sister?
"No, girl, what kind of person is this sister you've taken in?"
Murong Jin: "He's a straightforward person."
"Alright, I'll meet my goddaughter another day."
Murong Jin: "..."
"By the way, is there any investigation into the Lin Hexi family's matter recently?"
Murong Jin: "Mm."
"I've captured a man in black robes. I'll tell you after the interrogation results are out that this man is from the Jinling Kingdom."
People from Jinling Kingdom.
Murong Jin paused, her hand holding the chopsticks still. "Father, how much do you know about what happened more than twenty years ago?"
"If we're talking about His Majesty's mother, then perhaps I can tell you about this."
Murong Jin: "I've already asked the Prime Minister about this."
"Oh, that old scoundrel actually told you? Well then, I won't say anything more. Anyway, it's a story about a heartless, scumbag emperor deceiving an innocent young girl..."
Murong Jin: "..."
"However, I can tell you some things about the Golden Ridge Kingdom, such as the origin of the Evil Eye."
Murong Jin paused, looking at her elderly father, "Father, you once went to Jinling Kingdom, right?"
Murong Zhi nodded, "Yes, that's right. I went there with the late emperor and witnessed how His Majesty's mother and the late emperor met."
Murong Jin asked him, "Are all the daughters of the great wizards saintesses?"
"No, the role of a saintess also depends on talent. As the daughter of a great wizard, besides being a saintess, the rest of her identity is that of a witch, who saves lives and heals the wounded."
"Furthermore, the Jinling Kingdom, like the traditional national costumes passed down from the older generation, has a strong tribal atmosphere. They are skilled in Gu techniques, medicine, poisons, and so on."
"Like the Western Regions, it has its own cultural heritage."
"When the late emperor went to Jinling Kingdom, the Holy Maiden had not yet appeared. It was necessary to go through trials to find out who the Holy Maiden was."
"At that time, the Grand Wizard only had two daughters. One was His Majesty's mother, and the other was unclear. All that was known was that the latter woman became a saintess, while His Majesty's mother was brought to Dacheng by the late emperor."
"At the same time, it also brought the Evil Eye, which is the sacred object of the Golden Ridge Kingdom, and is known as the Evil Eye."
Murong Jin ate a piece of meat and said slowly, "The Evil Eye is obviously not a good thing for Da Cheng. Besides, I heard the abbot say the other day that this thing amplifies people's desires."
"A person is no longer a complete person if they are controlled by their desires."
"But aren't we human beings because we possess emotions and desires?"
Murong Zhi drank a cup of wine. "When I came back, a man in black robes came to me and asked me about the whereabouts of the Evil Eye."
"And that person is now being detained and interrogated."
Murong Jin hummed in agreement. "I'm going to Zhenguo Temple tomorrow. Father, do you want to go?"
"No, I can't stand the sight of that old monk."
Murong Jin raised an eyebrow slightly. "Alright."
There may be a conflict between the father and the abbot.
After recounting some general information about Di Junlan's mother, Murong Jin felt sorry for the woman, but she did not sympathize with her.
A woman who is dominant in relationships with men.
This must be the kind of woman Qiao'er was talking about, the kind who's obsessed with love? She doesn't even care about her own interests. I guess she brought those down on herself.
However, if you are in a difficult situation...
Suddenly, I remembered the incident where Emperor Lan's mother's palace was destroyed by fire.
Perhaps, she lit the fire herself.
"By the way, girl, if you ever find a man you like, tell me, and I'll take a look at him for you."
People from other places are not allowed.
Especially foreigners.
Suddenly interrupted, Murong Jin's eyes showed helplessness. "Okay."
Let's talk about finding a man after she leaves the capital.
...
A dark figure landed on the tree, watching the makeshift team below working together to take down the others.
Di Junlan held small stones in his hand and attacked those people one by one.
Those who fainted were eliminated and were eventually sent back to the training camp without any explanation.
...
Meanwhile, Murong Jin arrived at the Demon Suppression Pavilion. This time, she had no sense of direction. Murong Jin looked at the evil eye and wondered if it could really amplify the desires deep within her heart.
He took something out of his pocket; it was a bead exactly like the evil eye that had a faint glow.
Stealing the sky and changing the sun.
Murong Jin left the Demon Suppression Pavilion and went to the abbot's place. "This old monk greets the Regent."
"Abbot, there's no need for formalities. I just wanted to let you know. If anyone tries to force their way in, please remember not to be reckless."
"I understand."
This is to prevent them from doing anything else and from getting their own people hurt.
Seeing his expression, Murong Jin said, "It's okay to just put on a show." Don't just come and run away, or it will arouse suspicion.
The abbot touched his bald head and said, "I understand."
Murong Jin was able to guess what he wanted to do.
It wasn't that he was afraid of death, but they were all people from Zhenguo Temple, his disciples, and he couldn't let them die.
"With my men guarding the place, the abbot doesn't need to worry too much. I'll take care of everything."
Abbot: "Okay..." His reputation is probably ruined by Murong Jin; he's known for being a coward who's afraid of death.
