From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 216 Third Miss

After hearing Wang Er's question, Meng Yuan remained silent for a long time.

Ever since he climbed up to the attic, Meng Yuan had already activated his Burning Heart ability. At this moment, his mind was clear, and he didn't see anyone coming to perform any Taoist magic.

When he looked up, he saw Xiao Taotao with his head down and not saying a word, so he guessed that Xiao Taotao was also scolded.

And that Taoist priest Ren still had his eyes closed, as if he was not very concerned about what was happening here.

When Meng Yuan met Wang Er's eyes, he felt that there was an endless abyss in those eyes, and he was about to fall into it.

Lin Yan sat nearby, not saying a word, his face showing no sadness or joy, as if the incident of Wang Er forcing him with the rabbit demon had never happened.

After a while, Meng Yuan finally spoke: "That person has not shown up, but when he made his move, it was late at night when there was no moon or stars. The sky and the earth became even darker, as if they had fallen into a dark and abysmal place."

At this point, Meng Yuan looked directly into Wang Er's eyes and said, "I have encountered too few people and things in my position, and my experience is insufficient. If there is anyone who has similarities with the vision that night, it is only Prince Xin."

Wang Er said nothing after hearing this, and Taoist Ren still kept his eyes closed.

Xiao Taotao glanced at Meng Yuan and asked, "Is Master Mo injured?"

"It should be a minor injury." Meng Yuan was unsure.

Xiao Taotao nodded slightly and asked no more questions.

Wang Er looked at Lin Yan again.

“I’ve never met Prince Xin, so I really don’t know!” Lin Yan waved his hand, and then added: “But in my opinion, the person who made the move is either a fifth-rank warrior who is on the verge of breaking the mirror, or simply a fourth-rank warrior!”

"It is so difficult to be reborn from heaven." Wang Er sighed slightly, then looked at Meng Yuan and said, "I heard that you were born in Prince Xin's mansion. Tell me about Prince Xin's affairs over the years."

Meng Yuan had only met Prince Xin Dugu Sheng once, and that was when he met him with Xiao Taotao. He really didn't know anything about Dugu Sheng.

Of course, being in the palace, one would know some news more or less.

And there is also the matter of Yang Yuping and Yang Yudai, which Meng Yuan has dealt with before.

"I am indeed from the palace, but I have always been a guard beside the princess. It was also my mentor who helped me get the position in the guard post. Prince Xin has always been a recluse and rarely sees outsiders, so I don't know much. But I did find something related to Prince Xin in the Buddhist demon case."

Without hiding anything, Meng Yuan immediately talked about the Yang family.

After saying all this, Meng Yuan looked directly into Wang Er's eyes to show his frankness.

Lin Yan lowered his head and glanced at Meng Yuan, but he remained silent.

"I understand." Wang Er's voice was vague. "Master Ren, what do you think?"

The Taoist priest finally opened his eyes and said, "My eyes are dim and I don't recognize any heroes in the world. In my opinion, if Daoist Fellow Mo had fought to the death that night, Daoist Fellow Mo might not have won."

"But if Xie Yisheng wants to win, it will not be easy at all. He will inevitably suffer heavy losses." Xiao Taotao said.

"There are still people who don't want Xie Yi to live or die." Wang Er smiled, "Dugu Sheng is sinister, but he does miss the old friendship."

With these words, it was clear that it was Dugu Sheng who took action that night.

Taoist Master Ren and Xiao Taotao did not respond either, and Meng Yuan and Lin Yan were even more honest.

"Come and have some tea." Wang Er smiled and nodded towards the low table. She had actually poured the tea a long time ago, but had not invited Lin Meng and the others.

Lin Yan was a man who didn't hesitate to take the tea. He immediately stepped forward, picked up the teacup with both hands, took a sip and said happily, "It's delicious!"

Meng Yuan also took a sip, but he was not as boastful as Lin Yan. He just nodded, truly a gentle gentleman.

"Miss Ying San sent you to Beijing this time, right?" Wang Er asked.

"Yes." Meng Yuan answered honestly, "The old lady of the Ying Mansion is celebrating her birthday, and the princess sent one of her disciples to celebrate, so I was seconded to escort her."

"Are you from the Demon Suppression Bureau, or are you from Miss Ying San's side?" Taoist Ren frowned.

Neither Governor Wang nor Commander Xiao said anything, and you, a bully, are talking about this? Meng Yuan did not dare to argue with Taoist Ren, and just said, "I asked for leave." "That's in accordance with the rules." Xiao Taotao helped to speak, "Don't do this again in the future."

"Yes." Meng Yuan replied honestly.

Wang Er didn't care much and just asked, "How is Miss Ying San these days?"

Are you two acquaintances? But I haven't heard Miss San talk about it? Meng Yuan met Wang Er's gaze, but saw that there was a bit of reverie between her eyebrows, as if she really had an old relationship with Miss San.

"The third young lady never goes out. She just rests and studies in the quiet garden." Meng Yuan said.

"Is she broken now?" Wang Er asked again.

Xiao Taotao and Taoist Ren also looked at Meng Yuan curiously, and even Lin Yan became a little curious.

Meng Yuan had indeed talked with the Third Miss many times and had even seen her feet, but he only knew that the Third Miss was practicing Taoism, but he had no idea what level she was at.

Moreover, Meng Yuan had never seen the Third Young Miss display her magical powers. He only knew that the Third Young Miss and Taoist Master Xuanji of Chongxu Temple were senior and junior siblings.

"I don't know." Meng Yuan asked honestly.

"Has she been to Chongxu Temple recently?" Wang Er asked again.

This was a place that Meng Yuan had accompanied her to, so he said, "During the spring season, the Third Miss went out for an outing and stayed in Chongxu Temple for several days."

"That's the fifth level." Wang Er immediately came to the conclusion.

Meng Yuan was in a trance for a moment, and then he understood: the third young lady stayed in Chongxu Temple for several days in order to break through, and also to ask Taoist Xuanji for protection.

"Miss Ying San..." Taoist Master Ren counted with his fingers and asked, "When did Miss Ying San enter Taoism?"

"I don't know." Wang Er looked at the teacup, thought for a moment and said, "No more than ten years at most."

"Ten years to reach the fifth level in Taoism is really not slow. But I don't know which path she took." Taoist Ren stroked his beard.

"The roots of Chongxu Temple." Wang Er smiled, then looked at Meng Yuan and said, "I have met Miss Ying San before. When she was young, she asked me for advice on martial arts."

As he said this, Wang Er looked somewhat relieved, and continued, "I will write a letter tonight and send it to Ying Mansion. You can take it with you when you go back."

"Yes." Meng Yuan said honestly.

Wang Er said no more, and Lin Yan quickly pulled Meng Yuan and asked to leave.

The two brothers went downstairs from the attic and didn't dare to talk about anything.

It was not until he left the garden and the Demon Suppression Bureau, came to a restaurant, sat down, and drank a few glasses of wine that Lin Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, when you're not around people, I see that you're quite courageous." Meng Yuan smiled.

"I'm not afraid of the governor, I'm afraid of that old Taoist priest!" Lin Yan continued to drink, "He is the national master's man, he is very capable!"

"How old?" Meng Yuan asked.

"He is the junior fellow of the Imperial Master, and they grew up together. I heard that he is a fifth-rank Taoist, and some say he is a fourth-rank Taoist. Anyway, I'm not sure." Lin Yan lowered his voice and changed the subject, "But how did you offend him? I see that he doesn't like you a little."

"How should I know this?" Meng Yuan couldn't help but think of Yingmei in the red cloak.

"It's okay, the master doesn't bother to pay attention to us!" Lin Yan sighed, "I knew long ago that our governor likes to scare people. You will know when you deal with her more in the future. If she is really angry, she will not talk nonsense with you. If she is willing to talk nonsense with you, it means she is not angry. Just like just now, I immediately admitted my mistake and she didn't say anything."

"I learned it." Meng Yuan said.

"The governor is still criticizing me! What's wrong with me marrying a demon? Who is it bothering? Someone must be talking too much!" Lin Yan was very angry. "Alas, if you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person!"

The two chatted for a long time, had lunch, and went to meet Xiang Qingshan before going to the Imperial Master's Mansion together to look for Mingyue.
