โDo you think Madam Jiang and Zhu Mingjing knew each other before?โ
Ye Lan raised an eyebrow: โI donโt think so, wasnโt Mingjing raised in a nunnery in the mountains? How could she possibly know Madam Jiang?โ
Gao Jia shook her head, โYou didnโt see the expression on Madam Jiangโs face when she first saw Mingjing.โ
He turned to Zhu Xiangxiang: โWhat do you think?โ
Zhu Xiangxiang took a sip of flower tea and said lightly: โYou should go ask
Madam Jiang. โ
Gao Jia secretly rolled his eyes, thinking if I could directly ask Madam Jiang, I wouldnโt be wasting my breath with youโฆ
A tall and thin figure walked in through the main gate, against the sunlight. Gao Jiaโs gaze went through Zhu Xiangxiangโs shoulders, staring at the tall figure walking in, lost in thought.
Ye Lan coughed, straightened his back, and flicked a lock of hair behind his ear. Every movement seemed just right, as if carefully measured.
Zhu Xiangxiang squinted her eyes, the alarm bells ringing in her mind. She pinched her palm and suddenly stood up with her flower tea.
She turned around: โOh, Iโm sorryโฆโ ๐๐ง๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐๐ธ๐๐ฎ๐ก.๐ฌ๐ธ๐ถ
Zhu Xiangxiang stared at the close-up handsome face like a startled deer, looking pitiful enough to make even the hardest of hearts feel sympathy.
Gao Jia and Ye Lan glared at Zhu Xiangxiang, their eyes almost shooting fire.
Scheming woman, terrifying mind games.
Jiang Jinchen furrowed his brows, took a step back, and coldly glanced at Zhu Xiangxiang.
The chill of his gaze felt like winter snow, numbingly cold and painful.
Zhu Xiangxiang gritted her teeth and said softly: โIโm sorry, senior, I dirtied your clothes. Please change and Iโll take them to be dry-cleaned for you.โ
Gao Jia and Ye Lan cursed inwardly, itโs all tricks, Jiang Jinchen, donโt fall for it.
Jiang Jinchen brushed his long fingers over the wet spot on his sleeve and coldly said: โItโs not necessary.โ
He no longer looked at the three of them and walked straight into the living room. free webno vel
โSeniorโฆโ Zhu Xiangxiang unconsciously chased after him, but was stopped by Gao Jia.
โHe obviously doesnโt want to talk to you, so donโt embarrass yourself by going over there.โ
Zhu Xiangxiang shook off Gao Jiaโs hand, โWhatโs it to you?โ
โOh, didnโt hook Jiang Jinchen, so youโre angry and embarrassed? Youโre supposed to be Jiangzhouโs top lady, throwing yourself at someone so shamelessly.โ
โAlright, I think Ms. Zhu didnโt do it on purpose, right, Ms. Zhu?โ Ye Lan grinned at Zhu Xiangxiang.
Zhu Xiangxiang forced a smile and replied: โI did it on purpose, unlike some people who have evil intentions but no guts.โO
Jiang Chunlan remembered that two years ago, she went to a small town near Baitou Mountain to handle some matters. She got separated from her bodyguard and assistant due to an accident. When things were at their worst, she met a group of gangsters, but a hunter suddenly appeared and saved her.
She thanked the hunter, but he said: โYouโre thanking the wrong person. It was
Master Mingjing who asked me to save you.โ
She was very confused at the time: โMingjing? Who is she? How could she know I was in danger?โ
The hunter pointed to the rolling peaks not far away and said with admiration: โThere is a Jiyue Temple on Baitou Mountain, where thereโs a nun named Master Wu Xin. Her second disciple, Master Mingjing, is a divine person. Thereโs nothing she doesnโt know in this world.โ
Jiang Chunlan was worried that someone had set a trap for her and didnโt believe it. The hunter added: โIf you have nowhere to go for the time being, you can go to the temple. Master Wu Xin is very kind-hearted and often takes in homeless people.โ
With a mindset of understanding both oneself and the enemy, she decided to take a chance and let the hunter lead her up the mountain.
Unexpectedly, there really was a Jiyue Temple, located on a cliff. The place was small and somewhat dilapidated, but ancient and peaceful, a pure and holy place.
She didnโt see Master Wu Xin, who had apparently gone wandering.
Inside the main hall was a golden statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and a slim nun in plain clothes Imelt on a meditation cushion, facing away from her. The hall was filled with the scent of sandalwood and the sound of a wooden fish, which made her feel incredibly calm involuntarily.
โAre youโฆMaster Mingjing?โ Jiang Chunlan tentatively asked.
The sound of the wooden fish paused for a moment and then continued. A soft and serene voice seemed to come from far away, ethereal and dreamlike, making her feel as if she was in a fantasy world.
โWhy have you come so far, master?โ
Jiang Chunlan glanced around and thought the nun was too young: โHow did you know I was in trouble?โ
โThe secrets of heaven must not be revealed.โ
She was being mysterious on purpose.
โSince Master Mingjing has such great powers, can you calculate why I am here?โ
โTo establish a heart for the world, to establish life for the people, to be sharp and aggressive, but too stern is easy to break.โ
Jiang Chunlan was surprised for a moment, โMaster Mingjingโฆโ
She stayed at the temple for three days, living on simple meals and talking with Master Mingjing over tea. Those three days were the most comfortable days of her life, until her assistant and bodyguard found her on the third day.
Before she left, Master Mingjing gave her eight words: โKeep a low profile, we will meet again if fate allows.โ
After returning, she often thought of Master Mingjing. The young, seemingly underage girl had eyes like an old man who had seen through the world. She couldnโt see through those eyes herself and always felt a sense of awe in front of Master Mingjing, as if she was a god to be worshiped.
She never expected that the Master Mingj ing she admired so much was actually the true daughter of the Zhu family.
What virtues and abilities did the Zhu family have!
She wanted to ask about the incident involving the Qinglong Association that day. Although the Qinglong Association was well-known, ordinary citizens wouldnโt know about it. How did Master Mingjing find out? The martial skills she had displayed that day were also beyond that of ordinary people.
Gazing into those deep, calm, black eyes that seemed like ancient wells, full of compassion and mystery.
Jiang Chunlanโs questions got stuck in her throat.
She only needed to believe that Master Mingjing would never harm her. That was enough.
โMadam, the young master is back,โ came the reminder from her assistant Zhou Xue.
Accompanying the sound was the faint and rhythmic sound of footsteps. Jiang Chunlan smiled and took Mingjingโs hand: โCome, let me introduce someone to you..โ
