Feng Xi was taken aback, and behind him, he heard the mocking laughter of a man.

Feng Xi had already appeared in front of Xin Lin.

"Monk, I’m taking the person away. Next time, dare to covet my woman, I will make sure your Taichang Temple is left with nothing."

The man scooped up Xin Lin, and under his feet, the tiny black snakes quickly crawled back.

His form vanished.

Uncommon anger flickered in Feng Xi’s eyes.

Dawn was fast approaching.

The Corpse King, the legendary man who makes thousands of ghosts cry, comes and goes without a trace.

He hadn’t even faced him directly, yet the other took the person away.

That woman... Feng Xi frowned.

"Master, master... Can you save that girl? She’s a good person. Earlier, she was the one who let me take that string of Buddha Beads to save you."

Beside him, Shi Fei’s face was also deathly pale.

She knew the young girl was Xin Lin, but at this moment Xin Lin had been taken away by a man.

That man looked somewhat frightening.

Shi Fei knew she couldn’t reveal Xin Lin’s identity, but she was very worried about Xin Lin.

"Your Highness, be compassionate, there’s no need to worry too much. That woman is together with the Corpse King."

Feng Xi thought about it, but didn’t elaborate further.

After all, the existence of the Corpse King is a taboo for the common people, no need to explain too clearly, and there’s simply no way to clarify.

Shi Fei was speechless.

"Let’s first return to the temple and see Xin Lin."

Feng Xi was left with only a thin robe on his body, he said nothing more, and the Buddha Beads in his hand clicked again.

Yet, a brand new Kasaya appeared on his body.

With the disappearance of the Yin Yang Road, to Shi Fei, all of this seemed like a dream.

Monk Fengxi took her back to Taichang Temple, returned to the small courtyard, and upon entering the door, they saw Xin Lin lying on the desk.

Seeing Xin Lin, Shi Fei was both surprised and delighted.

Monk Fengxi stepped forward to check Xin Lin’s pulse and saw she was just unconscious, his face relaxed slightly.

Earlier, he even suspected Xin Lin was related to that female rascal.

Amitabha, thankfully not...

He grasped Xin Lin’s tiger’s mouth, and a stream of True Qi poured into her body.

Xin Lin slowly woke up.

"Monk? You’re back, where are the Minister of Imperial Sacrificial Worship and Shi Fei?"

Xin Lin rubbed her eyes, a face of confusion.

"Little Lin, as long as you’re alright."

Shi Fei also cried tears of joy, hugging Xin Lin as she wept.

As long as Xin Lin was fine, Shi Fei wouldn’t care about the Corpse King.

"Lady Shifei, I’m fine. I remember I was originally waiting for Feng Xi to return, then suddenly felt a pain in my neck, then no reaction at all. Oh right, that string of Buddha Beads!"

Xin Lin shuddered.

"The Buddha Beads are fine, Master Xin, as long as you’re alright."

Feng Xi smiled, gesturing to Shi Fei not to say more.

After welcoming Shi Fei to Taichang Temple, Feng Xi told Xin Lin roughly about the events in the Imperial Palace.

Meanwhile, he informed Xin Lin that the Minister had already ordered someone to build a grass hut outside the temple, where he would set a prohibition, and Shi Fei would live in the hut at night.

"Feng Xi, I really have to thank you this time. But I didn’t expect that the old general’s ashes would be at Taichang Temple?"

Xin Lin was surprised upon hearing Feng Xi.

"Believe me, I didn’t know either. Master Fengxi, please accept my bow."

Shi Fei, hearing this, offered a graceful bow, increasingly grateful to Feng Xi.

"Shi Fei, you don’t need to thank me. If thanks are due, it should be to Divine Doctor Chu; he’s the one who brought the ashes."

Monk Fengxi smiled slightly.
