Three times married to Yama

Chapter 97 Meeting Gift

Master Lu never imagined that he would be shot through the heart with an arrow until his death.

His body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He stared intently at me, wanting to speak but unable to utter a single word.

After Master Lu fell, a slender figure appeared behind him, holding a bow in one hand and playing with an arrow in the other.

He was a young man dressed in casual sportswear, with short black hair. He looked handsome and sunny, but exuded a sinister aura.

"Mr. Yan, this is a gift for you as we meet." The young man said as he walked towards us.

Yan Jinyue looked at the newcomer, her face expressionless, still with her usual indifferent demeanor.

I couldn't help but ask Yan Jinyue, "Do you know this person?"

"I don't know him," Yan Jinyue replied.

I frowned. Did he really not recognize him? But this man in the tracksuit seemed to know Yan Jinyue, and he even killed Master Lu, saying it was a gift for Yan Jinyue?

"Hello, Mr. Yan, are you satisfied with this gift?"

The man in the tracksuit pointed at Master Lu, who was lying on the ground, barely alive.

Yan Jinyue didn't even glance at Master Lu, nor at the man in the tracksuit who was walking over. Instead, she turned to me and said, "Ah Yin, I think something is very strange."

I was taken aback. What was it that Yan Jinyue found strange?

I asked instinctively, "What is it?"

Yan Jinyue's lips curled slightly as she glanced at the man in the tracksuit, a hint of mockery in her eyes. "The Book of Life and Death, which controls life and death, is in the Netherworld. Why should a mortal need to go through someone else's hands to die?"

Upon hearing Yan Jinyue's words, the handsome man in the sportswear's face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to his previous smiling expression.

"Mr. Yan, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mo Xun, and I am the abbot of Yidu Temple. It is an honor for my humble temple to have you visit, Mr. Yan."

I was shocked when I heard the name of the man in the tracksuit.

Is he Mo Xun? Is he the Mo Xun that Old Master Pei mentioned before, the one who helped the Pei family refine the Yin Wealth Ghost?

So many years have passed, is Mo Xun still alive?

Even if he were still alive, he should be a centenarian by now. How could he still look so young?

Perhaps my gaze was a bit too sharp, because Mo Xun looked at me.

"And who is this?" His gaze was intentionally or unintentionally sizing me up.

Yan Jinyue suddenly stepped forward, completely blocking my figure behind him.

"She is my wife."

This time, Yan Jinyue finally looked at Mo Xun properly.

"It's very impolite of you to stare at a lady like that."

Mo Xun was slightly taken aback, then said, "Indeed, I was presumptuous. Please don't take offense, Mr. Yan."

Regardless of who Mo Xun really is, it seems that Master Lu is about to die.

We live in a society governed by the rule of law. If Master Lu dies here, I'll become a suspect!

"Help, help me..." Master Lu reached out his hand to me, his eyes full of pleading.

I sighed inwardly. If I saved Master Lu, this guy might take revenge on me later.

If I don't save him, I'll be a suspect if he dies.

When the bodyguards left, they saw that only Master Lu and I were left. After all, Yan Jinyue hadn't shown up, so wouldn't I be the prime suspect?

"I...I was wrong, please save me, I don't want to die..."

Master Lu reached out and grabbed my trouser leg. Seeing the desperate desire in his eyes, I sighed helplessly again, preparing to spare Master Lu's life for the time being.

Just as I was about to stop the bleeding, Yan Jinyue grabbed my hand.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

He replied, "I have learned about human laws these days. It will be troublesome if you interfere. Leave it to me."

I was shocked by what Yan Jinyue said. What would he do if I handed it over to him?

"So what will you do with this Master Lu?"

Yan Jinyue's gaze towards Master Lu was icy, but it softened considerably when she looked at me.

He reached out and tucked the hair behind my ear, his cool fingertips brushing against it.

At that moment, his slow-moving heart seemed to leap into his throat once more.

Wait, wait, something seems off.

What is he up to now?

Before I could even ask, I heard Yan Jinyue's voice say, "In short, I won't make things difficult for you, don't worry."

"Don't forget, we are husband and wife now, and it is a husband's duty to help his wife."

Hiss~~ I couldn't help but take a deep breath. Look at what I said, it made my face turn red.

"Thank you, Yan Jinyue," I replied.

Since he can help me, I'll definitely accept it to avoid causing myself any trouble.

Also, Yan Jinyue's words kept echoing in my head, so in order to keep my mind from being filled with his words, I quickly shifted my attention.

I turned my gaze to Mo Xun and asked in a cold voice, "Are you Master Mo Xun, the one who helped the Pei family refine the Yin Wealth Ghost?"
