Xiao Zheng saw that Xie Xingyun’s expression was very ugly and guessed that he must be thinking about Fifth Miss Bai. Hence, he said, “Young Master, 1 think we should send more people over, especially near your room and also Fifth Miss Bai’s. Now that Master Yu Chan has already begun to preach, there’s an endless stream of people coming and going. We have to be even more careful.”
Xie Xingyun looked up. “Yes.”
The next day.
Green Pearl brought hot water over for Bai Xianyu to wash her face, and asked with a smile, “Miss, are we going straight back to the residence later?”
Bai Xianyu did not hide it from Green Pearl. Green Pearl was loyal to her, so there was no need to hide things. Hence, she knew that the person who took her away was Xie Xingyun.
After she said this, an image flashed across Bai Xianyu’s mind.
It was a string of prayer beads that she saw from the corner of her eye when she was unconscious.
It seemed that someone had said something to her at that time, but after she woke up, other than this fleeting scene, she had no other impression.
“Miss, this is the first time your maidservant has seen such a grand event. Countless people have come here to see Master Yu Chan in person. Before dawn, many people were already rushing up the mountain just to find a good spot.”
Bai Xianyu understood what she meant. She propped her chin on her hands and looked at her. “Do you want to listen to him too?”
Green Pearl smiled shyly.
Bai Xianyu thought for a moment. “…It’s not impossible. Anyway, I have told Third Brother about it. It’s really rare to see Master Yu Chan preaching the scripture. It’s not that you can’t go to listen to him.”
Moreover, there were many people gathered, so they could also help her with something.
Green Pearl was delighted. “That’s great.”
Bai Xianyu tapped her fingertips on the table and beckoned the excited little girl over using her finger. “But we can’t just play. Bend your ear over…”
Green Pearl leaned over happily to listen, but in the next moment, her expression suddenly changed. “Miss… this won’t do. There are so many people now. If word gets out, won’t you…”
Bai Xianyu did not mind. “Yes, but this is nothing.”
On the contrary, it could stop those people’s thoughts.
“Let’s go and tell them now. The sooner the news gets out, the better.” She picked up her tea, the lid brushing over the green-colored tea. “We’ll go up the mountain later, too.”
Green Pearl was helpless, but when she caught a glimpse of her mistress’ determined look, she could only sigh.
The mountain where the Buddha Temple was located was steep and had tall cliffs.
The bustling crowd blocked the narrow road. Bai Xianyu was wearing a cone hat, and Green Pearl was beside her. The latter reached out her hand to block the way so that she would not be knocked down by passersby. When they reached the top of the mountain, the two of them were still drenched in sweat.
Standing in front of the huge temple, his gaze went from the few stone incense burners to the wide open space in the center.
The person sitting on the high seat was Yu Chan.
He seemed to notice something and opened his eyes. Among the thousands of devotees, his eyes met Bai Xianyu’s gaze.
Bai Xianyu actually could not see clearly. She vaguely sensed that a gaze had fallen on her.
“Miss, there are still seats. Let’s go there.” Green Pearl’s eyes were sharp. She immediately saw that there was still space in the corner of the peach blossom forest.
Bai Xianyu wiped her sweat and put down the white veil. “Okay.”
Bai Li, who had been following closely behind with his face covered, also jumped into the peach blossom forest.
But just when he made a move, he heard the sound of rushing wind several times faster than him.
Bai Li took a closer look and instantly grabbed the hilt of his sword.
It was the high ponytail from that night!
That night, it was dark and windy. He did not see his face clearly and only felt that it was a little familiar.
Looking at it now, all the characteristics were the same, even the momentum of the Qinggong skill.
What surprised Bai Li even more was that he knew this person!
The Young Marquis of the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor, Xie Xingyun.
Could it be that the friend Miss was talking about was him?!
Bai Li followed behind him quietly and saw that Xie Xingyun’s place of stay was exactly the same place he wanted to go. They were both hidden in the peach blossom forest behind his Miss.
His expression was unfriendly. No matter who it was, if he had ill intentions towards his Miss, he would not be polite.
Bai Xianyu took a seat in the corner. Soon, Master Yu Chan’s voice spread far and wide, sounding ancient and solemn.
“There is no ignorance nor is there any end to ignorance, and even there is no old age and death, nor is there any end to old age and death …”
As soon as Bai Li approached the young man under the tree, the latter said lazily, “You’re not my match.”
Bai Li gritted his teeth, “What are your intentions for my Miss? Although your Northern Garrison Marquis Manor is noble, our Kingdom-Stabilizing General’s Manor is not a pushover. If anything happens to Miss…”
Xie Xingyun interrupted him and closed his eyes slightly. “I’m just looking at her.”
Bai Li frowned.
At this moment, another guard who had followed this man the other day appeared behind him.
Xiao Zheng looked at Bai Li with a smile. “Brother Bai, right? Don’t worry. Like you, my master is here to protect Fifth Miss Bai. I’m here too.”
Bai Li clearly did not believe him, and his words were not polite at all. He still remembered that this cheeky man had gotten someone to light more than ten bone-softening incense sticks for him. “1 think the greatest danger here is you guys.”
Seeing his expression, Xiao Zheng could not refute him for a moment. He only stood behind Xie Xingyun resentfully and said with a smile, “Brother Bai, if you don’t believe me, I have no choice. But you can barely fight me 50-50. With my master, you have no chance of winning at all. I advise you not to cause too much trouble.”
Bai Li was indignant, but what he said was the truth.
He looked at Bai Xianyu, who was sitting upright, and then at Xie Xingyun, whose eyes were glued to Miss. He cursed him secretly for being shameless. Then, he held his sword and stood opposite the two of them, staring at their actions as if they were his opponents.
Bai Xianyu and Green Pearl were already considered late. After listening for about two hours, Master Yu Chan left.
The sky was not dark yet. Just as she was about to go back, her watery eyes swept across the peach blossoms that bloomed unrestrained.
“Green Pearl, let’s pick some peach blossoms to make wine.” Bai Xianyu licked her lower lip and looked at the beautiful scenery with eyes that beamed.
Green Pearl quickly nodded and smiled. “Alright.”
Although Bai Xianyu was not a good cook, she was extremely good at making pastries and floral wine. She had experimented with them when playing as a child.
After the sermon ended, everyone dispersed like birds and beasts.
Now that there was no one around, Bai Xianyu lifted the veil in front of her cone hat, revealing a rosy face that was as beautiful as peach blossoms.
She took out a personalized scented handkerchief and was in a good mood as she walk through the peach blossom forest. Green Pearl also took out a handkerchief, and the two of them separated to pick flowers. Soon, the hibiscus handkerchief in Bai Xianyu’s hand was filled with fresh petals.
She smiled. Suddenly, the peach branches shook. A mountain breeze blew past, stirring up a ripple of flowers.
It was already too late for Bai Xianyu to stop it. The petals that were like a small mountain just now immediately flattened.
As for the fluttering petals, they followed the wind and collided with a man in a bright yellow brocade robe.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at the stunning woman in front of him..
