Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1416 Looking Back

"That day in front of the Fang Mansion, I was seriously injured and could hardly walk, but the prince didn't show any concern." Fang Zilan curled her lips and spoke with sarcasm, "Why are you worried about me now?"

"I..." Murong Qing pursed her lips, "I lost my composure that day."

Fang Zilan's smile faded a little, "Sir, do you think that if you humble yourself, I will return the half token to you?"

"That's not what I meant." Murong Qing hurriedly shook his head, "It's just..."

"Although I am the third daughter of the Fang family, I am also your prince's wife." Fang Zilan said, "If I keep hiding in the Fang family, it will be embarrassing for the prince. Am I right?"

Hearing this, Murong Qing shook her head even more vigorously, "I have never thought about it this way. My marriage has already wronged my sister. If my sister thinks I did not do well, it is not a big deal for her to stay in the Fang family for a while longer."

He paused and added, "As long as my sister is calm, it doesn't matter whether I look good or not."

Fang Zilan snorted and laughed, and did not bother with Murong Qing about these superficial polite words. She just asked, "Are you ready to talk to me here, my lord?"

"Of course not." Murong Qing looked embarrassed. Fang Zilan looked at Xiao Xuan'er beside her and said to her, "Please tell my father, Miss Xiao. I will go back with the prince."

"Miss Fang, Third..." Xiao Xuan'er frowned, but was stopped by Fang Zilan's look, so she just replied yes.

So Fang Zilan followed Murong Qing back to the inn, and the two sat in the carriage, looking at each other in silence.

"What does the prince want to tell me?" Fang Zilan spoke first to break the silence. Murong Qing did not beat around the bush and said bluntly, "The Fang family escaped one disaster, but they may not be able to escape the next one. I want to know, sister, are you still determined to protect the Fang family?"

Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, then calmly said, "If I get tired of it and don't want to protect the Fang family anymore, what will you do?"

"If that's the case, we'll set off for Beijing tomorrow." Murong Qing said seriously, "We've been delayed in the southeast for too long. I'm afraid both Li Shengxuan and Mu Churui are about to get restless."

Fang Zilan didn't say anything, so Murong Qing continued, "What's more, the Silver Armor Army showed up in front of Xie Chen, so the Xiahou family might not keep this a secret..."

He didn't say anything else. Fang Zilan looked at him and said, "You and I are on the same ship now. If the news about the Silver Armor Army gets out, no one will survive."

Murong Qing smiled slightly, "Sister is willing to live and die with me, which is something I have never thought of."

"After all, I have half of the token that can command the Silver Armor Army." Fang Zilan said frankly: "Since I will not hand it over, I naturally cannot deny my relationship with it."

"Really?" Murong Qing asked ambiguously. Fang Zilan did not respond, so he said to himself, "In that case, I will give the order. Tomorrow..."

"Wait." Fang Zilan interrupted Murong Qing, "If I still insist on protecting the Fang family, what will you do?"

Murong Qing didn't seem surprised and asked instead, "What does sister want me to do?"

"I just want to confirm." Fang Zilan said word by word: "Does your promise to me count?"

"As a matter of fact." Murong Qing calmed down, "If sister still insists on protecting the Fang family, I have a way to make her happy."

Fang Zilan came close to Murong Qing and whispered, "I'd like to hear the details." "The death of King Rong'an is related to poisonous insects and poisonous plants. If we follow this line, we will find more than just bandits." Murong Qing said meaningfully, "The five families in Lingnan were the first to be affected, and the Xiahou family, who were married to them, could not escape unscathed either."

Fang Zilan was noncommittal, "That's the Xiahou family. Even if they are really found guilty, what can Xie Chen do as the inquisitor?"

Fang Zilan restrained her expression and asked loudly, "Iron-faced Judge Bai Chen, who are you?"

"It's my father." Bai Moci wanted to say something, but saw that Fang Zilan didn't look at him. The plum sword in his hand once again drew a silver light, tearing apart the opponent's killing move.

Like a torch, lighting up the night.

Although it was only a moment, it was enough to be shocking.

"Okay, I'll listen to Master Ran Deng this time." Fang Zilan didn't look back, her tall and straight back was resolute, "Today's Zhongling Temple is under the control of Bai Moci, you are the one who makes the decision."

Bai Moci was stunned for a moment. Before he could figure out what Fang Zilan meant, he saw her take a step forward and said, "I'll kill every one of you from Ghost Gate. As for these Jianghu people..."

She paused, "Bai Moci, you can do whatever you want. If you can't stop him, the destruction of Zhongling Temple is imminent."

Bai Moci pursed his lips tightly and said in a deep voice: "You, Zixiu, don't have to worry about the affairs of Zhongling Temple."

"Really?" Fang Zilan's figure flashed, leaving only her voice echoing, "Master Randeng, you were able to save Bai Moci back then. Can you still save Zhongling Temple today?"

Master Ran Deng chanted "Amitabha", but before he could make any move, Bai Mo Ci stopped him, "Master, no. If we let them in, what will happen to the people in the temple?"

Hearing this, Hong Tai turned around and saw some coarse cloth corners from the half-open temple door. No wonder Fang Zilan said to Bai Moci just now, "How do you know that I didn't come here for the people in the temple?"

  Could it be that she had known long ago that Zhongling Temple wanted to kill people and silence them, and detained many people who had been oppressed and had their land seized in the temple?

No, if that was the case, why didn't Bai Moci let these people into the temple? Did he want to... protect the people in this temple?

"What are you standing there for?" A Wan hid behind Hong Tai and asked anxiously, "The ghost has arrived, why don't you go and help her?"

Hongtai took a deep breath, but ignored Awan's words. Instead, he shouted to Bai Moci, "Zixiu just said that it's up to you to decide. I want to hear how you decide."

Bai Moci tightly grasped the Judge's Pen in his hand and blocked the gate of Zhongling Temple. "Today, with me, Bai Moci, here, no one can hurt anyone in Zhongling Temple."

"In that case, I will help you." Hong Tai and Bai Mo Ci stood side by side, and A Wan stood behind him, saying in disbelief: "Help him? Are you crazy?"

"He is the son of Bai Chen. I am willing to trust him for this." Hongtai's voice seemed as light as a feather in the battle, but Awan still heard it clearly.

Bai Chen, the iron-faced judge who was once famous in the martial arts world, was killed by Zi Xiu because he injured the Wheel King Chu Bin. Was that night also like tonight, stained with blood and dark without end...

"Thank you." Bai Moci nodded slightly to Hongtai, then glanced at Master Ran Deng and A Wan behind him, "Please ask Master and the Crown Prince's wife to return to the temple."

"I..." Awan opened her mouth but could not say anything. She could only let Hongtai push her into the temple gate and watch him and Bai Moci standing outside the door, isolated from all the noise.
