Chapter 1378: Investigating the Temple at Night

When Feng Yuanlin followed Shuyan back to their accommodations, he still wasn’t sure if Shuyan had been joking about ‘dead people.’ He thought of how they had interacted with many of the people in the village before, and they all seemed very normal. How could they be dead?

Feng Yuanlin was flustered at the thought of this possibility.

Feng Yuanlin didn’t say another word on the way back. He did want to ask, but when he thought of Shuyan’s ‘joke,’ his heart turned cold.

Coincidentally, just as the two returned to their accommodations, someone came over on Village Chief Pan’s behalf to remind them that they had to invite in the True Buddha Lord before tomorrow morning. After a pause, he said that it would be best if they could do it tonight.

There was no trace of a smile in Chi Shuyan’s eyes. She pursed her lips and smiled. She naturally nodded at the other party and thanked him, saying that she would definitely do so if she was free tonight. In short, she would definitely invite the True Buddha into their accommodations by 8am tomorrow morning.

While the villager was talking to Shuyan, Feng Yuanlin didn’t speak. Who knew if it was because of Shuyan’s words, but Feng Yuanlin stared vigilantly at the villager in front of him.

He was dressed plainly, and his smile was simple and very amiable; when he spoke to Shuyan, he didn’t look like a dead person at all.

Only then did Feng Yunalin’s cold heart warm a little, and he took the initiative to chat to the villager for a while. Chi Shuyan’s lips curved up when she saw Brother Feng regain his enthusiasm and talk to the villager.

The villager left as quickly as he had come. Feng Yuanlin sensed Shuyan’s gaze on him. Feeling a little embarrassed, he couldn’t help but say, “Shuyan, were you joking with me just now?”

Chi Shuyan pursed her lips. “Brother Feng, if you think I was joking, you can take it as a joke!”

A stupefied Feng Yuanlin was speechless.

At 7:30pm that night, just as it was getting dark, Chi Shuyan got ready to visit the village temple. Ruan Shenglin and the others had yet to arrive; they were probably still working overtime tonight. After waiting for a while, Chi Shuyan didn’t wait any longer. Instead, she told Wu Haoming and the others that if Ruan Shenglin and the others came later, they should have them wait first before doing anything else.

Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan hurriedly nodded. “Yes, Sister-in-law!”

“Shuyan, are we really leaving tonight? Wait, is Zhenbai not back yet?” Feng Yuanlin thought of Zhenbai and frowned with worry.

Even if they really left tonight, what about Zhenbai? They couldn’t leave him in the village on his own, right?

He really felt that it was too rushed to leave today, and Ruan Shenglin and the others probably wouldn’t have time to inform the others. What Feng Yuanlin was most worried about was that Zhenbai wasn’t around. What if he was left alone in the village?

At that moment, Xiao Shan interjected, “Brother Feng, President Qi also said to leave today. He’ll probably rush back tonight!”

Feng Yuanlin felt slightly reassured after listening to Xiao Shan, yet he couldn’t help but worry about Zhenbai’s safety. He was also afraid of the likelihood that Zhenbai wouldn’t be able to make it back tonight.

Listening to Brother Feng at that moment, Chi Shuyan also thought of how Qi Zhenbai had yet to come back. Even though she was well aware that the man would be fine, there were too many variables in this village. She couldn’t help but feel a little apprehensive.

She couldn’t help but rub her temples tiredly. After pondering for a while, she said, “If he doesn’t return tonight, we’ll stay for another day and leave before 5pm tomorrow!”

Feng Yuanlin was very satisfied with Shuyan’s words. Seeing her frown and worry for Zhenbai, he was certain that there were still some feelings there. This couple liked to pretend to be tough on the surface, but they were soft-hearted. They were clearly of the same mind, but they just had to pretend to be expressionless and calm.

Who knew what they were doing!

Of course, Feng Yuanlin only dared to think these words in his heart and didn’t dare tease her out loud, nor was he in the mood to do so right now.

Feng Yuanlin was still a little worried about Shuyan breaking into the temple alone. He was good at fighting, and suggested that he go with her.

Chi Shuyan waved her hand and refused. It wasn’t that she wasn’t willing to take Brother Feng with her – the temple in Dashan Village looked easy to enter, but in fact, it was probably the same as the rest of this village. Ever since she first saw the temple dedicated to the True Buddha or whatever, her right eyelid kept twitching. She felt a sense of crisis, and hence hadn’t planned to investigate the temple.

How could she dare bring Brother Feng along?

Fortunately, Brother Feng was very rational. He also knew that he would probably be a hindrance if he followed Shuyan. He was good at catching criminals, but he couldn’t do anything about supernatural things.

Before Chi Shuyan left, she told Brother Feng and the others not to worry.

Feng Yuanlin, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were very confident in Shuyan’s abilities.

At 7:35pm, Chi Shuyan didn’t waste any more time. She stuck an Invisibility Talisman on herself and immediately turned invisible, before she said goodbye to Brother Feng and the others. “I’m going first!”

As soon as the Invisibility Talisman took effect, Feng Yuanlin, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were immediately stunned. Their jaws almost dropped to the floor and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming couldn’t suppress their excitement. They cursed and sucked in cold breaths. “Holy sh*t, Director Feng, what… what is that? Sister-in-law!”

The two stuttered as they spoke, each more excited than the next. They knew that Master Chi was powerful, but they never thought that she would actually have a heaven-defying talisman like the Invisibility Talisman.

With a ‘cheat’ like Shuyan, Feng Yuanlin didn’t lack talismans. He could usually calm down when Shuyan took out a lot of talismans, but this Invisibility Talisman had also broken his usual calm. He got excited along with Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming, and his breathing picked up.

“Wait, Sister-in-law, have you left? If you haven’t, can you give me and Old Xiao an Invisibility Talisman each first?” Wu Haoming was very shrewd and was the first to react as he hurriedly blurted out the words.
