Beside the stream, Shangguan Qian was gently wiping the blood off his body, trying his best to resist the disgusting feeling.

She didn't even dare to imagine it just now. If it weren't for Ouyang Jin, wouldn't she have been bitten by a snake?

The snake looked poisonous, but now it was in the wilderness. Other than that, she definitely wouldn't be able to live.

She sighed, her expression becoming more profound. It seemed that the heavens wanted her to live a little longer and take revenge on Li Fengyi.

After twisting his clothes again, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, a bird cry came from not too far away.

Her expression froze, she looked around, and finally her gaze landed on the small forest opposite.

"Who?"

She asked in a loud voice, her expression becoming more and more serious. At this moment, a flock of birds flew out.

A figure quickly flashed over, and his black clothes set off a cold and detached aura around him.

He stood in front of Shangguan Qian, his face expressionless as he said, "Everything has been arranged, I have some tasks to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."

"Alright." Shangguan Qian watched Chasing Wind leaving quickly, the look in his eyes becoming more profound.

But at this moment, she heard a soft voice. She turned her head and saw Ouyang Jin standing on top of a tree.

His long and narrow almond-shaped eyes gave off a cold aura. It was unknown if it was because of his disguise that his expression appeared somewhat wooden.

She stood up and raised her head to look at Ouyang Jin on the tree, frowning, "Quickly, go."

As soon as she finished his sentence, Ouyang Jin landed on the ground right in front of her.

His entire body was filled with hostility as he looked at the forest that had disappeared, revealing an indifferent expression.

"Little Qian'Er, I have a whole new level of respect for you due to your change."

Ouyang Jin gazed at her with a hint of admiration in his eyes. To be able to stand by her side, one must be outstanding and cruel.

As for Shangguan Qian, he was like a replica of himself, growing stronger and stronger as he grew more patient in the beginning.

"Humans need to grow up. Ouyang Jin, hurry up and go back. If they see us together, it won't be good." Shangguan Qian urged him anxiously.

There were a few drops of sweat on the palm-sized face. His deep black eyes looked around vigilantly, making sure that no one was around to speak to him.

"Are you done washing?"

"I simply washed off the blood stains on my body." Her expression dimmed for a moment. Just now, she was truly frightened, but now, her legs felt a little weak.

However, she didn't dare to show her strength in front of Ouyang Jin, so she could only force her way through.

Ouyang Jin nodded his head, glancing at her pale face. Without any more concern, he turned and left.

Shangguan Qing sighed lightly and walked back dispiritedly, afraid that this one time would be enough.

"Qian'Er, you're back." Sen Ya happily greeted him.

Seeing her return, Li Fengyi hurriedly stepped forward and held her hand, "Is it done?" Are you scared? "

"I'm fine. Let's continue on our way. Don't delay any longer, otherwise, we'll be doomed even if it gets dark." Shangguan Qian said passively, his expression dispirited.

Li Fengyi nodded and moved closer to her, "Qian'Er, it will be fine after we arrive at the Pure Aura Temple. You can go rest in the carriage."

She nodded, pursed her lips at him, and walked toward the carriage.

Cui Zhu threw the quilt into the carriage and held her hand for her to sit in.

As soon as she sat in, she noticed that a figure had also entered.

As his gaze met with Ouyang Jin's eyes, he felt an indescribable sense of security.

Ouyang Jin sat to the side, his eyes narrowed as he patted his legs, "Lie down."

"Eh?" There was a trace of surprise in her eyes. She didn't know what he meant.

The next second, he directly pressed her down on his lap, his hand gently pressing on her head.

A delicate fragrance wafted through the air. It was very fresh, but it also made his aching head feel a lot better.

"Sleep for a while. Don't worry, no one will disturb us." His voice rang in her ears.

She nodded her head in confusion and fell into a deep sleep.

On the other hand, Mu Ze Ye, who was riding a horse outside, didn't look too good. His gaze would occasionally drift towards the carriage.

It was not good to let an unfamiliar man go with Shangguan Qian in a carriage.

However, the Heroic Assassin said that he couldn't ride the horse, and he couldn't let Qian'Er ride the horse either …

"Butler Li, let's hurry on our way!" Li Fengyi lowered his voice and increased his speed.

Sen Ya chased after him, her voice carrying a hint of ridicule. "Third Prince, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Princess, please hurry! "It's getting late. If we can't get to the Pure Aura Temple, we'll have to sleep in the forest at night."

Sen Ya instantly thought of the snake that had climbed onto Shangguan Qian's shoulder, and she could not help but shudder in disgust. Not daring to say anything else, she sped up her pace.

Although they were still in hot pursuit, by the time they arrived at the Clear Vision Temple, it was already late at night.

"Aiya, I'm so tired after coming to the Clear Vision Temple." Sen Ya grumbled. Looking at the huge temple, she did not care about worshipping and let the young monk go to the backyard to rest.

As for Shangguan Qian, because he had slept for a while in the afternoon, Ouyang Jin had helped her to rub her head again, and he was feeling much better after getting off the car.

"Princess, let's go eat." Cui Zhu suggested after running for an entire day and being half-dead from exhaustion.

Shangguan Qian nodded, searching through the crowd, but didn't see Ouyang Jin. When they arrived at the temple, Ouyang Jin alighted from the carriage, heading off to who knows where.

Didn't he go up the mountain with them? Then what is Ouyang Jin doing here?

He felt lost for a moment and turned around to see Li Fengyi.

"Qian'Er, Grandmaster Wu Dao has prepared dinner for us. Let's go have some."

Shangguan Qian Bei nodded, following Li Fengyi to the dining area.

The moment he walked in, he saw Ouyang Jin, who was standing before a table, happily chatting with Grandmaster Wu Dao.

"So the Heroic Assassin is here. I thought you left on your own accord."

"I have some connections with Grandmaster Wu Dao. I've come to the Pure Heart Monastery to pay a visit to Grandmaster Wu Dao." Ouyang Jin had a serious look on his face as he spoke, then he glanced at Shangguan Qian who was standing behind him, a profound look in his eyes.

"So that's how it is."

"Sit down and eat." Grandmaster Wu Dao smiled as he looked at them, a trace of kindness in his eyes.

There were only a few dishes on the table, but none of them picked anything as they finished their meal.

"I've already instructed the little disciples of the temple to take you to the guest room." "It's getting late. Guests, please rest early."

Li Fengyi followed and nodded, leaving with the young monk.

Shangguan Qian subconsciously stopped in his tracks, glancing at the room where he had been eating, he could still see Ouyang Jin chatting with Master Wu Dao.

It seemed as though what Ouyang Jin said was true. The relationship between the two was extremely deep.

She sighed and looked up at the dark sky.

"Qian'Er, why did you stop?" Li Fengyi noticed that she did not follow, so he turned around and asked.

Shangguan Qian Bei smiled and shook his head, "It's alright. I feel like my heart has calmed down in the temple, it's very peaceful."

"That's right, I really have that feeling. It's just that who could truly see through the world of mortals?" Li Fengyi squinted his eyes and said with a double entendre.

"People are greedy. The more things they want, the more greedy they become." Shangguan Qian'er looked at him deeply, mockery in his eyes.

If Li Fengyi hadn't had the ambition, how could she have ended up like this in her previous life?

Her past life had erased all of her innocence, so in this life, she came to Li Fengyi's side in order to take back everything she lost and all the pain she suffered.

The two of them walked to the side room in silence. The two of them lived far away from each other.

Shangguan Qian pushed the door open and entered, looking around the neat and tidy chamber, nodding in satisfaction.

This is a good place.

She felt at ease and focused. If she could choose, she would truly feel that this life wasn't bad. She would recite scriptures every day, and she wouldn't have to think about the floating and heavy world.

The door creaked open, and Greenwood boiled some hot water and set the basin aside.

"There are no bathtubs here, so I can only let you down, Princess."

"It's not that I'm wronged. It's normal to not have a bath barrel here." Shangguan Qian, on the other hand, was used to it. He took off his clothes, threw it to the side, washed his face and mouth, then said softly, "Cui Zhu, I'm afraid you'll have to be tired and stay at the door tonight."

"Cui Zhu, remember this." She nodded and took the water away.

Shangguan Qian'er took out a dagger from his shoe. Although the dagger from last time had been taken away, she was still used to having a dagger by her side.

Only by doing so could he give her a sense of security.

In her heart, she knew that Butler Li would definitely act against her, but she just didn't know when.

It seemed like she would have to be on guard at all times.

The night was especially quiet, and even the slightest sound could be heard.

Thus, when the first sound came from the window, she nervously gripped the knife, and became much more energetic all of a sudden.

The window creaked open and a gust of cold wind blew in, filling the room with cold air.

Shangguan Qian couldn't help but shudder, a black shadow struck out, and she stabbed out without thinking.

He clearly felt that the blade was very fast, but the shadow was even faster. As he dodged the blade, he also grabbed the blade.

Startled, she looked at the man standing by her bedside with a dark face, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

"Why are you here?"

"You came to rest? Do you think you can kill someone with such little strength?" I'm afraid you'll be killed before we do anything. "

Shangguan Qian had a helpless look on his face as he looked at him, "I have no choice, but what if someone really comes? Do you think I have to accept it and let you do whatever you want?"

"Speaking of which, if the Imperial Advisor were to teach me martial arts, wouldn't I be safe?" A trace of joy appeared on Shangguan Qian's face, he had been saying that he wanted to learn Ouyang Jin's martial arts.

However, Ouyang Jin didn't take her words seriously at all.

"You?" He raised his eyebrows, threw his jacket to the side and laid it on the bed, "Save it, it's impossible to cultivate for eight or ten years, do you think you can become a martial arts master with just a few words?"

Shangguan Qian pursed his lips, "Then I won't even have the chance to protect myself."

"With me here, do you need to protect yourself?"

"But what if you're not here?"

As the sound of her voice faded, a strange atmosphere permeated the air. The two of them stared at each other, she could even feel the change in Ouyang Jin's eyes.

He was angry at first, then angry, and finally angry.

"Little Qian'Er, am I very weak?"

She quickly shook her head. "You are not weak at all. You are very strong."

"Then is my power unable to protect you?" He continued to ask, his squinted eyes exuding a dangerous aura.

How could she dare to say yes? "I didn't mean it that way."

He suddenly leaned close to her, his thin, pursed lips tinged with charm. "What do you mean, then?"

Shangguan Qian wanted to retreat, but his arm was locked around his waist, and he let out a hollow laugh. "I don't want to rely on anyone."

His chin was gripped by his hand, and a warm breath blew across his face.

"I'm not what you call anyone."
