Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The little girl clearly did not understand the meaning of his words. She shyly said, “Thank you, brother,” and ran away.
Xie Xingyun threw the candied hawthorn to Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng almost did not catch it. After it shook in his hand for a while, he heard the man say, “Pass down the order to return to the temple earlier.”
Xiao Zheng nodded. “Yes, Young Master.”
Bai Xianyu and Mo Linyuan did not walk around for long before a guard ran over and cupped his fists. “Miss, Young Master, the Imperial Astronomer said that there is rain today and it’s not appropriate to walk around outside the temple. Please turn back, Miss and Young Master. We’ll escort you back.”
The sky was blue and the white clouds were bright.
It did not look like it was going to rain.
Mo Linyuan nodded at the guard. “Got it.”
The guard bowed and followed behind the two of them.
After the guard passed down the order, the group of people got on the carriage for the return trip.
When they arrived at the Great Xiangguo Temple, the originally clear sky actually began to be filled with dark clouds, and muffled thunder rumbled.
It was still early when Bai Xianyu got out of the carriage, but because it was about to rain, the light around her was a little dim.
Li Changming walked over and held her hand. She smiled and said, “Why don’t we take the carriage back together? Your General’s Manor is in the same direction as my residence.”
Li Dan and the others boarded the carriages one after another. The cool breeze blew the curtains of the carriages. These carriages looked simple, but they were actually very luxurious. The faint fragrance of old sandalwood floated, and in the sultry air, it smelled especially refreshing.
Bai Xianyu glanced at Mo Linyuan imperceptibly and declined, “1 feel a little tired. I want to go to the room to rest for a while before leaving.”
“All, alright then.” Li Changming was a little disappointed, but she did not force it. “Then rest well. The scenery here is very good. In the past, 1 had lived here for some time, and 1 felt my soul become much purer.”
Bai Xianyu could not help but laugh. “Okay.”
Li Changming also got into the carriage. She did not seem to have a good relationship with Li Changning, and the two of them were not seen saying anything to each other. At this moment, they were sitting separately in the carriage.
Xiao Zheng glanced at Xie Xingyun’s expression and braced himself to ask, “Fifth Miss Bai, are you really not leaving? If we rush to General’s Manor from here, we still have to take the carriage for two hours. It’s a little far. It’ll probably be dark after you have rested for a while.”
Bai Xianyu shook her head. “If it’s dark, 1’11 get a few guards to send me back.”
Or perhaps it did not matter if she stayed here for the night. Bai Li had also followed her here, but she had not asked him to follow her on the trip just now.
After saying that, she went to look for the monks who had arranged food and accommodation.
“Young Master, then we…”
Xie Xingyun looked away. “Get someone to clean up the two rooms.”

The conditions of the rooms here were slightly better than the Buddha Temple, but they were also simple and plain. Bai Xianyu actually liked the air in the temple. It was fresh and exquisite. There were a few deep bamboo forests in the Great Xiangguo Temple, and the wind would bring about bamboo waves.
Her room was not far from Mo Linyuan’s. When she walked out of the door, the sky turned sunny again, as if the dark clouds earlier were just her imagination.
However, it was precisely because the dark clouds had dispersed that Bai Xianyu looked at the sun and estimated that it would be dark in another two hours.
If he really wanted to take a person’s life, it would undoubtedly be easy to take action in the dark night. If he wanted to deliberately expose a clue, it would be most suitable to do it during the day. It would be best if he could leave behind the so-called evidence in front of everyone.
She thought for two seconds and felt that her position was still a little far, so she walked towards Mo Linyuan’s room.
She had just taken two steps when she saw Mo Linyuan walking towards her. The two of them met at the fork in the road and were both slightly stunned.
Mo Linyuan’s smile deepened. “We meet again.”
Bai Xianyu had already thought of a reason and spoke with ease at this moment, “I’m a little tired, so 1 didn’t take the carriage back to the residence first. I’ll rest here first.”
“I heard that you were going to stay here, so I came specially to look for you.”
Mo Linyuan thought to himself that since the girl had already taken the initiative, he could not be indifferent, although… he did not have the intention of marriage at first.
However, if she really liked him, then there were some things that he could not do.
His gaze on Bai Xianyu gradually darkened, as if he had encountered a tricky problem.
Upon hearing this, Bai Xianyu did not think too much about it.. “Why are you looking for me?”
