His Highness the Madman gave in again today.

As night deepened, the temple bells fell silent, and all was quiet.

In the middle of the night, Mo Sangyu was suddenly awakened by a faint, suppressed groan.

She sat up in bed and turned her head to meet Feng Xingyu's clear eyes.

"You heard that too?"

How could such a sound come from this sacred Buddhist sanctuary?

Feng Xingyu nodded, squeezed her hand, and whispered, "I'll go take a look."

"Together."

After saying that, Mo Sangyu quickly got up, dressed neatly, and went out.

Feng Xingyu frowned and quickly followed.

The two left the room and, following the sound, soon arrived at a very secluded courtyard.

At such a distance, ordinary people wouldn't be able to hear it, but unfortunately, Feng Xingyu and Mo Sangyu are not ordinary people.

In such a quiet environment, it's hard not to hear it.

The courtyard gate was ajar, and the lights inside were dim.

Since we're already here, Mo Sangyu wants to see who's polluting this sacred Buddhist site.

She walked into the courtyard and, through the crack in the door, saw a strong monk pressing down on a woman, his movements violent.

The woman was completely naked, her eyes were closed, and her face was flushed with an abnormal flush; she seemed to be in a strange state.

This doesn't seem like an affair.

It was date rape!

Mo Sangyu's gaze turned cold. Just as she was about to see more clearly, everything went black before her eyes.

Feng Xingyu covered her eyes with his hand, his deep voice coming from beside her ear: "Is it beautiful?"

Mo Sangyu pulled his hand down and casually replied, "It's alright."

After saying that, he turned his head to take another look.

Feng Xingyu gathered his qi, wrapped his arm around her waist, and pulled her away, lifting her out with one hand.

"Mo Sangyu, how dare you look at other men?"

"...What? I was looking at that woman, she looked familiar, like the young lady who came in with us today asking for children."

Mo Sangyu was speechless: "You think I was looking at that guy?"

Feng Xingyu: "You can't look at anyone, go back."

As soon as the two arrived at the courtyard gate of the meditation room, they saw a furtive dark figure crouching under the window of their room, holding a thin bamboo tube and blowing something into the crack of the window.

It's a drug.

Feng Xingyu's eyes turned cold, and he was about to make a move when Mo Sangyu grabbed his hand.

She walked up to the man, patted him on the shoulder, and when he turned around, she sprayed him with anesthetic several times.

Before the shadowy figure could even react, it went limp and collapsed.

Feng Xingyu walked over and flipped the person over with his toes.

They discovered that it was the same monk who had arranged for them to stay that afternoon.

No wonder Mo Sangyu felt that the monk's eyes were a bit strange at the time.

"I never imagined that this temple would be such a den of iniquity."

Mo Sangyu kicked the monk on the ground, his eyes as cold as ice: "Since we've run into you, then... let's clean up the trash while we're at it."

"What do you want?"

Feng Xingyu recalled the way this person looked at Mo Sangyu back then, and he had an urge to gouge out his eyes, but he forced himself to calm down and listen to Mo Sangyu's opinion.

"so."

Mo Sangyu leaned closer and whispered in Feng Xingyu's ear, "Cut off his tools, gag him, then hang him in front of the abbot's room, and take care of the one inside as well."

"it is good."

The phoenix travels and responds to the Dao.

"I'll go and take that woman away."

The two split up.

Half an hour later.

After Feng Xingyu crippled the two monks, he hung their bodies in front of the abbot's room.

Mo Sangyu also brought the woman out and sent her back to her own room.

To prevent her from getting pregnant, they even gave her a birth control pill.

The innocent young woman was defiled just like that.

That's absolutely disgusting.

They actually used this method to help women who came here seeking children.

Once the matter is investigated, if everyone in the temple knows about it, she will burn the entire temple down, just like she did with the bandits last time.

When Feng Xingyu returned, he also heard some news.

The two monks suddenly started talking about Wen Zhixia.

Wen Zhixia is a regular here, coming three times a month.

Unfortunately, she wasn't there to ask for offspring, and each time she came, she was accompanied by more than ten people for protection, so these people couldn't do anything to her.

But just now, Feng Xingyu overheard the two of them discussing that they would put poison in her tea when she came tomorrow.

Wen Zhixia was already quite familiar with them, so she wasn't too wary of them, and they felt confident that it would work out.

After Feng Xingyu returned, he told Mo Sangyu about the matter.

After listening, Mo Sangyu remained silent for a moment, then suddenly a smile appeared on her lips: "Feng Xingyu, I need to change the plan."

"Oh?"

Feng Xingyu asked cooperatively, "What do you want to do?"

"I don't plan to arrest anyone directly tomorrow."

Mo Sangyu said, "Let her fall into their hands first, and then I will show up to rescue her."

Feng Xingyu raised an eyebrow: "To be her savior?"

"That's right."

Mo Sangyu nodded: "Saving her life is much easier than forcibly abducting her. It will make her lower her guard more easily, and it will also be easier to negotiate terms later. Besides..."

She looked at Feng Xingyu, her smile deepening: "This way, it will seem perfectly reasonable for us to take action against this temple, and she won't suspect that we're specifically targeting her."

"Ayu."

Feng Xingyu stared intently at her, then suddenly reached out and gently pinched her cheek: "When you're scheming against others, can you please not smile so wickedly?"

"What's wrong?"

Mo Sangyu looked into his eyes: "You don't like it?"

"I like."

Feng Xingyu leaned in and kissed her, whispering, "Have you forgotten? This is how you schemed against me back then."

Uh.

It turns out this man was bringing up old grievances.

In that situation, if she hadn't schemed against him, he would have killed her.

Before she could speak, Feng Xingyu said, "However, I am willing to be schemed against by you."

After saying that, he kissed her forehead and pulled her into his arms: "It's almost dawn, close your eyes and get some sleep."

Mo Sangyu didn't say anything more.

However, my mood has become a little strange.

Feng Xingyu is getting better and better at saying these nice things now.

But it sounds pretty good.

Mo Sangyu leaned against him and unknowingly fell asleep.

When she woke up, Feng Xingyu was not by her side.

She sat up, looking at the faint blue light on the ring finger of her left hand, and the corners of her lips unconsciously curved into a smile.

She got up to wash up, and just as she finished getting ready, Feng Xingyu returned.

He had changed into a smart and neat outfit. Although it was made of ordinary fabric, it couldn't hide his tall and upright figure and his aloof temperament.

Seeing that he was carrying a food box, Mo Sangyu asked, "Where have you been so early in the morning?"

"The vegetarian food at the temple is bland, and you didn't eat much last night, so I went down the mountain to buy some of your favorite dishes."

Feng Xingyu placed the food box on the table and took out the items one by one; they were several exquisite pastries and side dishes that were still steaming hot.

Mo Sangyu sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and took a bite. The taste was indeed much better than the vegetarian food in the temple.

Surprisingly, he was quite observant and noticed that she didn't like the food from last night.

"You should eat too."

"Um."

Feng Xingyu sat down opposite her: "When I was going down the mountain, I received the latest news from Ya Zi. Wen Zhixia departed from Tiebi Pass at 3:45 AM today, accompanied by twelve personal guards. They are expected to arrive at Hantan Temple before noon."

"She would first pray for about an hour in the main hall, and then go to the meditation room in the back to rest and have her meal."

Mo Sangyu listened while eating, quickly making calculations in his mind.

"Wen Zhixia is no fool; I wonder if they can succeed."

"Let's wait and see."

Feng Xingyu didn't seem to care much: "Last night, the abbot discovered those two people but didn't make a fuss. Instead, he secretly took them away. In my opinion, even if the abbot wasn't involved, he should still be aware of these things."

"It's okay, let's save Wen Zhixia first, and then we'll deal with them."

"But what if Wen Zhixia doesn't fall for it?"

"It's good that she didn't fall for it. It means Mr. Gu wasn't wrong about her; she is indeed a very smart person."

"Then you've forgotten the favor of saving my life."

"If it's not there, it's not there."

The two ate and chatted.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Esteemed guests, our temple was burgled last night. Did you hear any noises or see any suspicious persons?"

Obviously.

This is to test them.

Feng Xingyu opened the door and saw the monks standing outside, who were one of the people who had discussed drugging Wen Zhixia the night before.

He was wearing a mask, and just by standing there casually, he exuded an invisible but powerful aura.

The monk glanced at him, avoiding eye contact, and quickly lowered his head again: "Esteemed benefactor, the abbot sent me to inquire whether you two were frightened last night?"

"We went to bed early last night and didn't hear anything."

After Feng Xingyu finished speaking, he asked in a deep voice, "What kind of thief is so bold as to dare to steal here?"

"Don't worry, benefactor, we will investigate on our own."

The monk wanted to peek inside, but when he met Feng Xingyu's gaze, he quickly looked away and turned to leave.

"They should already have some suspicions."

Feng Xingyu closed the door again and sat down at the table.

Mo Sangyu finished the last bite and put down her chopsticks: "Then they might strike first."

"It's alright."

Seeing that she had finished eating, Feng Xingyu naturally took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth.

They were talking about very serious business, but their expressions and actions were completely the opposite.

Gentle and doting.

"Let's leave here first and spread the word."

"..."

He led Mo Sangyu by the hand and they went out silently.

Not long after the two left, a fire broke out in the room where they had stayed.

Someone shouted, "Fire! Help!"

"You were absolutely right."

At this moment, the two were already sitting on the beams of the main hall, with the Buddha statue in front of them completely obscuring their figures.

Success, once overt, has now become covert.

The fire was strange; it burned fiercely, but it only burned the courtyard where they lived, and was quickly extinguished.

Apart from Feng Xingyu and Mo Sangyu, everyone else in the courtyard came out safely.

"What a pity. That young couple from last night, I'm afraid... they're probably in grave danger."

"Go and search again. If you can't find any living people, at least find the bodies and give them a proper burial."

"yes!"

A dozen monks went out and searched the courtyard thoroughly, but they did not find any charred corpses.

"Oh no! Quickly tell the abbot that those two have probably already escaped. Seal off the mountain gate immediately! If they manage to escape, our secret will definitely be lost!"

"Quickly, seal off the mountain gate, but be careful not to frighten the pilgrims."

Just then, someone came to report: "Miss Wen is here, what should we do?"
