Catching Monsters

Chapter 345 The Sixth Prince Suddenly Disappears
Of course, Jiang Yun was unaware of these things and never imagined that he would become famous in the capital once again in this way.

After watching Xu Suwen enter the main hall, Jiang Yun turned to Feng Beier with a hint of doubt in her eyes and asked, "Miss Feng, you said you had something to tell me?"

"Mm." Feng Beier nodded, her eyes filled with deep admiration as she looked at Jiang Yun, but then she glanced in the direction of Xu Suwen.

The affection in her eyes lessened slightly as she said, "Young Master Jiang, before I met you, I was thinking of telling you so many things."

"After seeing you, I don't know what to say."

"Would you like to stroll around Hakuryu-ji Temple with me?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun nodded.

In the early morning, a light mist hung over Bailong Temple as Jiang Yun and Feng Beier walked side by side.

"Some time ago, my parents wanted to arrange a marriage for me."

Suddenly, Feng Beier spoke slowly beside her. After saying this, she carefully observed Jiang Yun's facial expression.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun frowned slightly and asked, "And then?"

Seeing Jiang Yun frown, Feng Beier's heart stirred slightly, and a smile appeared on her face as she said, "I refuse."

"My parents are worried about me, but I'm all grown up now, I can't always listen to them."

"in addition……"

Feng Beier suddenly stopped in her tracks: "Jiang Yun, I know you definitely have feelings for me, but Xu Suwen should be more important to you, right?"

What if I forced you to choose between the two of us?

Jiang Yun didn't know how to answer the question either. He slowly looked at Feng Beier and said, "Miss Feng, matters of the heart aren't a multiple-choice question..."

Unexpectedly, Feng Beier reached out and stopped Jiang Yun, then suddenly kissed him.

Then, a solemn expression appeared on Feng Beier's face. She took a deep breath and slowly said, "I have the answer in my heart."

After saying that, she turned and walked out of Bailong Temple.

Jiang Yun watched Feng Beier's retreating figure and shook his head helplessly.

Just then, Xu Suwen, who had been hiding and spying from a bush nearby, suddenly jumped out.

"Okay!" Xu Suwen glared at Jiang Yun and touched Jiang Yun's lips.

"She ambushed me... I didn't dodge."

Xu Suwen stepped on Jiang Yun's foot: "Now that you've reached the third rank of cultivation, if you want to dodge, do you think you can't?"

He then struck Jiang Yun with a palm.

Jiang Yun instinctively dodged to the side.

"Look at this, isn't my slap faster than Feng Beier's mouth?"

"I beat you to death."

Despite their playful banter, Xu Suwen wasn't truly angry. On one hand, Jiang Yun clearly cared more about her.

On the other hand, as a woman herself, Xu Suwen genuinely sympathized with Feng Beier.

I can understand Feng Beier.

Abbot Yunwu and Monk Wuhui, both with bald heads, were also secretly watching from a distance.

"Wu Hui, do you think we should go up and try to persuade them?" Abbot Yunwu asked in a low voice.

Wu Hui shook his head and said, "Master, you don't understand. They call this flirting."

"Flirting? I see that Benefactor Xu's palm strikes are fierce. If we were to take a blow, we probably wouldn't be able to recover for several days."

Wu Hui touched his bald head and pondered, saying, "This is called 'the harder you beat someone, the deeper your love.'"

After some playful banter, Jiang Yun and Xu Suwen bid farewell to Abbot Yunwu.

On the carriage back, Xu Suwen wasn't angry anymore. It was mainly because, towards the end of the fight, Jiang Yun had a sudden inspiration and hugged her and kissed her.

She kissed him until he lost all his anger.

On the carriage, just after returning to the Sanqing Temple, Wen Chen, who was guarding the temple, hurriedly informed Jiang Yun, saying, "Master, Master, Princess Ningyi has arrived."

Soon, they arrived at the living room, where Linglong was sitting and drinking tea. Seeing Jiang Yun and Xu Suwen return, she smiled and said, "Good news, my father should not kill Miss Min'er for the time being."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then subconsciously glanced at Xu Suwen beside him.

Linglong smiled and said, "Miss Xu, why don't you go out first? Let's talk. There are some things you've heard that aren't good news." Xu Suwen glanced at Jiang Yun suspiciously before nodding and saying, "Alright, I'll go make you some tea."

Linglong also noticed that Xu Suwen's gaze was a little strange this time. She touched her hair in confusion and asked, "Jiang Yun, what are you doing? Why is Miss Xu looking at me like that..."

"Don't mention it." Jiang Yun waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Linglong became interested. She sat down and thought about the rumors she had heard from the servants of the princess's residence last night, and said, "Could it be that you and Feng Beier did something and Xu Suwen found out?"

Jiang Yun: "..."

"Caught in the act?"

Jiang Yun: "Sect Leader, you are a princess, how can your thoughts be so filthy..."

Linglong crossed her legs, completely abandoning any princess-like demeanor: "As a member of the demonic path, how pure can my thoughts be? If you don't tell me, I might start having all sorts of wild ideas."

"To be honest, I have seen that Miss Feng Beier before, and she is indeed a beauty of unparalleled grace."

"Such a woman is so devoted to you, what normal man could stand it?"

"I heard that she attempted suicide several times because of you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun was slightly taken aback: "Huh?"

“Don’t you know?” Linglong then told Jiang Yun all the rumors she had heard.

After saying that, he didn't forget to ask Jiang Yun what had just happened, acting like a bystander watching the drama unfold.

Jiang Yun could only briefly recount what had just happened.

After hearing this, Linglong quickly stood up and looked around.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yun asked, puzzled.

Linglong said, "Miss Xu probably didn't go to make tea; she might have gone to get a knife."

"Yes, yes, we can't drink the tea she makes later either, in case it's poisoned."

Jiang Yun rolled her eyes at her: "Master, it's not as exaggerated as you say."

Linglong rolled her eyes at him: "You don't know anything. If my man were to be all lovey-dovey with another woman, I would definitely chop him up with one stroke."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun could only laugh and cry, then changed the subject, saying, "Let's get down to business. What does Your Majesty plan to do next?"

"The specifics are still unclear."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yun asked, "Is there any way to rescue Qin Shujian and the others first?"

Linglong shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult..."

The two chatted casually for a while, and soon Xu Suwen came in from outside the door with tea in her hand.

"Princess Ningyi, have some tea." Xu Suwen handed the tea to Linglong with a faint smile.

"Not thirsty, not thirsty," Linglong said with a smile, shaking her head.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Wen Chen walked in with a smile on his face and said, "Master, Master, Eunuch Feng is here."

Has Feng Yu arrived?

Could it be related to Xiao Min'er?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun, Linglong, and Xu Suwen looked at each other and quickly went out.

At this moment, Feng Yu held an imperial edict in his hand, his hands behind his back. Upon seeing Jiang Yun and the others, he smiled and said, "Convey His Majesty's oral decree."

"Jiang Yun joined the Embroidered Uniform Guard and made many meritorious contributions. He has now been promoted to Commander of the Eastern Garrison!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

“Congratulations, Jiang Yun.” Feng Yu narrowed his eyes and said, “His Majesty values ​​you highly.”

"After you are promoted to commander of a thousand, do not disappoint His Majesty's expectations of you."

Jiang Yun just nodded, but unexpectedly Feng Yu's next sentence was: "In addition, I need you to investigate a case immediately."

Investigate a case?

Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment. Feng Yu took out a file from his hand and handed it over.

Jiang Yun frowned, took the file, and asked, "Shouldn't dispatching missions go through proper procedures?"

“This mission is a bit special.” Feng Yu said, glancing at Linglong and Xu Suwen, then pulled Jiang Yun aside and whispered, “The Sixth Prince has suddenly disappeared!”
