Chapter 226 Visiting the Jingnian Zen Temple
"It's alright? Shui Rou, since you and my husband have no relationship, why did you let him hug you?"
"I..." The Night Emperor's wife was extremely angry with Su Qingfeng at this moment. She was speechless because he had just hugged her.
Seeing that the Night Emperor's wife couldn't explain herself clearly, Shi Guanyin smiled gently, becoming even more certain of her guess. Since the Night Emperor's wife had allowed Su Qingfeng to hug her, she would probably accept Su Qingfeng in the future.
Given the Night Emperor's wife's temperament, if she truly had no interest in anyone, she would probably have killed them with a single blow long ago. Shi Guanyin thought to herself that she would still need to avoid the Water Mother Yin Ji in the future, and if the Night Emperor's wife were by Su Qingfeng's side to protect him, she would feel more at ease.
"Shui Rou, don't overthink it. I'm often away from my husband, so I'll have to trouble you to take good care of him in the future."
Lady Ye was filled with helplessness, knowing that no amount of explanation would be of any use. It was all Su Qingfeng's fault for suddenly embracing her, leaving her flustered and at a loss.
Su Qingfeng looked at the Night Emperor's wife with a sense of sympathy. He also understood that no matter how she explained, she would find it difficult to clarify the matter of being embraced by him.
At the same time, Su Qingfeng secretly wondered: Why didn't the Night Emperor's wife resist then? Even when he put his arm around her waist, she only blushed and scolded him, without actually making a move. Could it be... that she also had feelings for him?
In the main hall of the Dugu Mansion in Luoyang, after Yan Jing'an relayed Su Qingfeng's instructions to the women, everyone became restless.
They hadn't expected the Celestial Monk from Jingnian Temple to appear as well. Now Su Qingfeng was facing two Celestial Realm experts, while he only had the Night Emperor's wife, another Celestial Realm expert, by his side. The women were filled with worry, fearing that Su Qingfeng might encounter misfortune.
The Snow Maiden stood up urgently and said, "We can't wait any longer! We must immediately send troops to rescue Su Qingfeng!"
Shang Xiuxun remained relatively calm and reminded him, "But Su Qingfeng has already ordered the troops to withdraw from the restaurant. Even if we send troops now, it will probably be difficult to rescue him from the hands of two Celestial Realm experts."
The Snow Woman looked around at everyone and said resolutely, "We have to find a way; we can't just sit idly by."
"But we can't disregard Su Qingfeng's life. We must rescue him even if it costs the entire army."
The Snow Maiden had finally accepted Su Qingfeng and was absolutely unwilling to watch him go into danger. Even if it meant death, she wanted to die with Su Qingfeng.
"I agree too. Let's mobilize the army and go together to rescue Su Qingfeng. Even if it means death, we must go."
Shi Qingxuan stood up, her tone cold. Although Su Qingfeng had ruined her reputation, he had gradually won her heart these past few days, and she had even developed some affection for him, unwilling to see him die there.
Shang Xiufang was conflicted. She thought of how Su Qingfeng had urged them to leave when they were at the restaurant. He must have discovered that the alien was a terrestrial immortal of the Celestial Realm and was afraid that they were in danger, which was why he urged them to leave.
She was increasingly unable to understand Su Qingfeng. Before, in her eyes, he was just a good-for-nothing lecher, leaving her with a terrible impression. Yet, most of the women here seemed to like him, which she couldn't understand.
Now she seemed to understand somewhat—although Su Qingfeng was lustful, he was extremely kind to the women around him. Whether it was gifting them rare treasures to enhance their strength or caring about their safety, he could be considered a good man. If he weren't so lustful, perhaps she would have been moved too?
Shang Xiufang looked at everyone and stood up, saying:
"I agree, let's go rescue that guy together. Although Su Qingfeng is a lecher, he's not a bad person. You can tell from how eagerly he urged us to evacuate that he's thinking of us. We can't just abandon him."
"Then hurry and rescue His Majesty! I will immediately contact all the experts of the Yin Kui Sect and have them go with the army."
Bai Qing'er couldn't wait any longer. Wu Xiangjun was everything to her; she couldn't bear to see him in danger. If Su Qingfeng were to fall, everything she had would be over. She had long considered Su Qingfeng her man, and this time, she would risk her life to save him.
"Then order the army to move out immediately, or he might get into trouble."
Song Yuhua hurriedly said to Yan Jing'an. Right now, Yan Jing'an was the strongest here, and they would have to rely on her to save Su Qingfeng.
Su Yanjing stood to the side, constantly pondering how to save her father. She had overheard the women's conversation, but even if all the troops were dispatched, it would probably be impossible to save him.
These troops were not my father's direct subordinates. If the Netherworld Cavalry and the Xuanwu Legion were in Luoyang, there might still be hope. But these people before me are nothing but a rabble; they have no chance of risking their lives to attempt to become a Celestial Immortal on Earth.
"You Ruo."
"Princess."
"You Ruo, how many Shadow Assassins do we have in Luoyang? What about the city's secret guards? How many Netherworld Cavalry and Xuanwu Legion troops are stationed here?"
"Princess, there are over four hundred Shadow Assassins and three thousand Guards. The Netherworld Cavalry currently only has one thousand men to protect you; the remaining fifty thousand have been taken by Shen Luoyan to attack Wagang Village. The Xuanwu Legion has no troops stationed in Luoyang."
Upon hearing You Ruo's report, Su Yan frowned. She hadn't expected her father's loyal troops to be so few here; such a small force simply couldn't save him. The more than 70,000 troops in Luoyang were also currently useless.
She stood up, turned to Yan Jing'an, and hurriedly asked:
"Aunt Yan, are you capable of dealing with Liaokong of Jingnian Temple?"
Yan Jing'an's face flushed slightly when she heard Su Yan call her "Auntie." She hadn't expected Su Yan to address her that way. Had Su Qingfeng already mentioned her to his daughter? Or perhaps... he never intended to let her go in the first place, but rather wanted to keep her by his side?
She steadied herself and said to Su Yan:
"I'm afraid it's difficult to determine a winner, but he can't do anything to me either. Our skills are evenly matched, and neither of us can gain the upper hand."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan decided to attack Jingnian Temple. Only in this way could they lure out the Heavenly Monk. Once the Heavenly Monk came to rescue Jingnian Temple, he believed that the woman at the Celestial Realm could handle the remaining alien expert.
She clapped her hands and quickly gave the order:
"Alright. Sister Dugu Feng, please have Dugu Sheng send troops to surround Jingnian Temple. Sister Bai, please have all the experts from Yin Kui Sect gather at Jingnian Temple. You Ruo, take the secret guards and a thousand Netherworld cavalry with you. Also, have Deputy Commander You Xue take two hundred Shadow Assassins to protect Aunt Murong Qiudi and the others—they are in seclusion and must not be disturbed."
"I'll go and give the order to Dugu Sheng to send troops immediately." Dugu Feng understood that Su Yan was using a strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao," and left the main hall in a hurry without asking any further questions.
Bai Qing'er nodded to Su Yan and quickly left. Although she didn't know why Su Yan wanted to attack Jingnian Temple, Su Yan was Su Qingfeng's chosen successor. Although young, she was exceptionally intelligent, and Bai Qing'er believed that she would not disregard her father's safety.
"Yes, Princess."
After receiving the order, You Ruo disappeared from the main hall in a flash.
Su Yan looked at Yan Jing'an, a trace of hesitation still lingering in her heart. At this moment, she was unsure whether she should completely trust her, but Yan Jing'an had not left alone, and had brought her father's instructions—Su Yan understood that something must have happened between her and her father.
Su Yan could tell that Yan Jing'an was very worried about her father's safety, so she decided to trust that Yan Jing'an wouldn't harm them. "Aunt Yan, once we arrive at Jingnian Temple, Liaokong is in your care."
"Don't worry, I'll hold off that mute monk. Su Yan, have someone bring my two disciples with us. They're quite skilled; they can come with us in a bit."
Seeing Su Yan's series of arrangements, Yan Jing'an knew she intended to take action against Jingnian Temple. This was indeed a solution—if the Heavenly Monk didn't want Jingnian Temple to be destroyed, he would surely return to its rescue. As long as the Heavenly Monk appeared, Su Qingfeng's crisis might be resolved.
"Alright, Aunt. Someone, bring Jin Bingyun and Qin Mengyao over here."
"Yes, Princess."
Xue Nu and the others were surprised by Su Yan's arrangement. They hadn't expected this six- or seven-year-old girl to have such an unexpected plan. If they really attacked Jingnian Temple, the Heavenly Monk would probably not stand idly by, after all, it was a temple he had built himself.
At this moment, Jin Bingyun and Qin Mengyao were brought over. Upon seeing their master, the two were overjoyed, believing that they would have a chance to rescue him in the future.
"Qin Mengyao (Jin Bingyun) pays respects to her master."
"Mengyao, Bingyun, get ready. We're going to attack Jingnian Temple later. From now on, you'll follow Su Yan's orders."
Qin Mengyao and Jin Bingyun were stunned when they heard this.
What's going on? Are we going to Jingnian Zen Temple? There's a Celestial Immortal monk there, a celestial being of the Heavenly Realm. Master couldn't possibly not know that. But judging from Master's expression, he doesn't seem to be joking.
As the two were wondering, Su Yan asked Yan Jing'an:
"Aunt Yan, besides the Heavenly Monk, who else is a master at Jingnian Temple?"
Yan Jing'an gently touched Su Yan's tense little face and smiled:
"There are also four great monks, all of whom are at the late stage of the Grandmaster level. None of us here can handle them alone."
"Yan'er, leave the Four Great Monks to us."
At this moment, Xue Nu, Shi Qingxuan, and others walked over.
Although the four holy monks were all at the late stage of the Grandmaster realm, their side had seven Grandmasters, three of whom were also at the late stage. Xue Nu believed that the seven of them working together would be enough to deal with the four holy monks.
Upon hearing Xue Nu's words, Su Yan's heart clenched. Xue Nu and the others had only recently entered the Grandmaster realm and were certainly not yet skilled in combat between Grandmasters, while the four Holy Monks were all veteran Grandmasters. Su Yan was truly afraid that one of them might be injured or even killed.
She took the Snow Woman's hand and asked worriedly, "Aunt Snow Woman, can you really handle the Four Great Monks?"
Seeing her so worried, Xue Nu smiled slightly and comforted her, "Yan'er, Bai Qing'er, Dugu Feng, and I have all reached the late stage of Grandmaster, and Shang Xiufang, Shang Xiuxun, Shi Qingxuan, and Song Yuhua are all in the middle stage of Grandmaster. I believe that the seven of us working together are enough to take down the Four Great Monks."
Su Yan felt slightly relieved upon hearing this and nodded, but still cautioned, "Yes, Auntie, please be very careful. The Four Great Monks have been famous for a long time, and their strength should not be underestimated."
Shang Xiuxun reached out and patted Su Yan's head, saying in a relaxed tone, "I know, little girl, don't worry about it. We won't be foolish enough to fight them one-on-one. The Dark Guards and the Netherworld Cavalry's crossbows will provide support from the side."
At this moment, Qin Mengyao and Jin Bingyun, who were standing nearby, were completely stunned.
Just now, Wu Xiangjun's daughter actually called their master Yan Jing'an "aunt"?
What's going on?
They looked at Yan Jing'an, only to see that her master not only didn't deny it, but was also showing loving concern for the little girl. Qin Mengyao and Jin Bingyun exchanged a glance, completely bewildered.
