Chapter 97 Worth It
Because they left late in the morning, the three of them arrived at Anguo Temple almost noon.

Due to the bumpy road, Lin Ziyan got off the carriage.

His face was obviously a little whiter than in the morning.

Master Huiming saw them, bid farewell to the pilgrims who had unlocked the lottery, and walked towards the three of them.

"Little friend came later than usual today."

"Is it really late, or is the master impatient?" Gu Yunxi asked deliberately.

When Huiming heard this, she smiled faintly, but did not speak, and looked at Lin Ziyan behind her.

"Miss Ziyan's complexion is not good." Huiming said softly.

"It's just been sitting in the carriage for a long time, nothing serious." Lin Ziyan replied.

With focused and gentle eyes, he looked at Huiming's eyes, which were full of faint starlight.

This is the second time Gu Yunxi has seen Lin Ziyan's eyes so bright.

It was very different from the usual Lin Ziyan in the mansion, who always looked a little tired between her brows.

At this time, she seemed to be more vigorous than usual.

Just like when they were in the back mountain before, the two of them were bathed in the sun.

Lin Ziyan looked at Huiming against the sun, her eyes filled with warmth.

Bright and full of hope.

"I'll check Miss Ziyan's pulse," Huiming said.

The expression on his gentle face remained unchanged, but these words still revealed the worry in his heart.

Lin Ziyan seemed to be used to it, and every time he met, he had to feel his pulse first.

Naturally, she rolled up her sleeves lightly, exposing her wrists.

Huiming's fingertips touched her pulse.

It took less than a stick of incense to take it back.

"At lunch, I'll ask someone to prepare a bowl of bitter apricot tea, Miss Ziyan remember to drink it."

"Yes." Lin Ziyan obediently responded.

"It's a bit bitter, but it's good for your health." Huiming added.

"Yes." Lin Ziyan nodded, "I know."

Gu Yunxi stood beside Shen Zhi, looking at Lin Ziyan and Huiming.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand the difference between Lin Ziyan's words and the warm eyes.

What it's like.

It is said that Master Huiming was born with Buddha roots.

A pair of bright eyes, without joy or sorrow, see all the world, but there is nothing.

But now in those eyes, there is Lin Ziyan's figure.

Every time he looked at her, the light in his eyes involuntarily brightened a little.

The firm and passionate love between the two is not publicized but not hidden.

Seeing that Gu Yunxi was shocked.

The hand she was pulling on Shen Zhi's sleeve suddenly tightened.

Sensing her nervousness, Shen Zhi covered her with his sleeve, and lightly held her hand as a gesture of comfort.

"Trust Master Huiming, he will handle it well." Shen Zhi said.

Gu Yunxi looked at Shen Zhi with firm eyes, not knowing how to explain the worry in her heart.

It seemed that there was a voice that kept shouting in her mind, disturbing her restlessly.

"Second sister is tired?"

Lin Ziyan looked at Gu Yunxi absent-mindedly, and asked with concern.

"I'm not tired, I'm just a little hungry." Gu Yunxi came back to her senses and replied.

Although she said this to change the subject, it was also true.

When she got up late today, she ate two small shrimp dumplings in a hurry.

My stomach is already empty by now.

"The lunch has been prepared, little friend, please finish the peace amulet before going to eat."

Huiming explained: "There are still more than a month to go before the Chinese New Year. There are many people asking for the peace talisman. If you come back after eating, I am afraid that there are too many people and you will have to queue again."

"That's fine." Gu Yunxi said, "I'll go ask for a peace talisman first."

"I'll be with my second sister." Lin Ziyan said.

After the two sisters left, Huiming took out a talisman paper from his cuff and handed it to Shen Zhi.

"To continue life with life, benefactor Shen has thought clearly?" Huiming said.

Shen Zhi took the talisman paper, carefully put it in his bosom and said:

"I have made up my mind, thank you Master for reminding me."

Huiming looked at Shen Zhi's indifferent face, and continued after a while:

"Half a year ago, Shen benefactor killed King Rong and took charge of the court, and his aura of the king was very strong."

"But he used his own luck to exchange the little friend's lifeline."

"I persuaded you at the time, the chances of survival were slim, but you insisted on going your own way."

Huiming paused for a moment, then continued:

"Little friend is a foreign thing to this body, and it is normal for the soul to be unstable."

"On the other hand, Benefactor Shen was destined to be the lord of this troubled world, protecting the people of the world."

"Is it worthwhile to abandon the world for one person?"

Huiming's voice was very light, as if he was just asking out of curiosity.

"Whether it's worth it or not, isn't the master already aware of it?"

Shen Zhi said softly: "Master saves all sentient beings, but now he intends to enter the world of mortals for one person, does Master think it's worth it?"

Hearing this, Huiming turned around the dark red Buddhist beads in his hand, smiled faintly and said:

"There is no value or not, only what the heart wants."

"Since that's the case, why does the master ask me?"

Shen Zhi continued: "To be able to exchange her life with luck is already a pity from the heavens."

"If you give up, you will gain. What I get is far more precious than what I lost."

"Everything in the world has its own laws, benefactor Shen can't force it too much." Huiming said.

"Forcing?" Shen Zhi said, "If you don't get what you ask for, that's called forcing."

"Now I can be regarded as fulfilling my wish, so I don't count it as forcing."

Huiming shook his head imperceptibly when he heard the words.

He took out another talisman paper from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Zhizhi:
"I have a predestined relationship with Benefactor Shen, so I will give this talisman paper to Benefactor Shen, please keep it safe."

"Thank you Master Huiming." Shen Zhi accepted it.

He knew that Master Huiming's move must have deep meaning.

But Master Huiming didn't say anything, and he wisely didn't ask.

Seeing that he had put away the talisman paper, Huiming looked away.

The two stood side by side, but said nothing.

After Gu Yunxi finished praying for the peace talisman and came back with Lin Ziyan, the four of them went to eat together.

After finishing the meal, Shen Zhi took Gu Yunxi down the mountain.

Lin Ziyan stayed in the temple, intending to stay for a few days, and did not go down the mountain with the two of them.

On the way, Shen Zhi asked Gu Yunxi, "Where's your safety talisman?"

"At this."

Gu Yunxi fumbled in her sleeve for a long time before finding it out.

Shen Zhi took the peace talisman in her hand, and took out a purse.

Put the amulet into the purse, and carefully hang it on Gu Yunxi's waist.

"Don't lose it this time."

"I will keep it safe." Gu Yunxi said.

"En." Shen Zhi replied.

He raised his arm and stroked her hair on the sideburns.

Looking into Gu Yunxi's eyes, she seemed to feel a lot more relieved.

A folded talisman in his palm rolled down into his sleeve.

Gu Yunxi looked back at him with a smile, not noticing the movement of his hand at all.

It was already Youshi when we returned to Shangshufu.

The sun sets early in winter, and the sky has gradually darkened.

There are still matters to be dealt with in Shen Zhifu, so after taking a deep look at Gu Yunxi, he turned and left.

At this time, at the side door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was a man wearing a black cloak.

Taking advantage of the twilight, he was carefully invited into the mansion by the housekeeper.

Except for a few silver hairs exposed from the cloak, nothing else can be seen.

It can only be seen from the figure that it seems to be a man.
