They had planned to visit an ancient temple today Fro within the halls of the temple Pei Zi Yun followed the crowd as he walked in and placed his incense within the burner before walking around the temple

This telanced at the walls, where his attention fell to several paintings being hung on The paintings were extremely lifelike and were a portrayal of the deities Next to the wall of paintings were the actual statues of the deities, as they carried a dignified demeanor about them

Apart fro deities, another difference between the temples here and those back in the mainland cities were that there were different statues ofmonsters were all naked and had shoulder spaulders and headbands They wore large earrings and bared their fangs, with strange expressions on their faces

(E/D: Shoulder armor)

Pei Zi Yun sighed, ”The Southern Kingdom is very far away from the rest of the country The statues of these monsters were actually of local deities or tribes deities These temple were very conscientious in their efforts to include their deities as well”

While he alking out of the te incense The past few days, Hong Lin had been translating for hiet used to their ways

”Oh, then let's go” Pei Zi Yun turned around and followed him to an inn When he entered he saw that on the second level, there was a private roo some peanuts and a pot of wine His face was downcast

Pei Zi Yun glanced at his expression and felt that soht Since he hadn't offended hi, ”So it's his Excellency shi+ Please excuse me for the short wait”

The Registrar Official then nodded before saying, ”Waiter, serve some dishes”

Before long, the saistrar Official then poured hi, ”Master Top Scorer, please have some food and wine”

'Could it be that my Sect Senior Uncle who had deserted cadoht to hi, ”Your Excellency, ould you say that?”

As for being treated as his guest, Pei Zi Yun laughed before pouring himself some wine Even his own accouest like this would cause the people in the h till their teeth fell out

”Don't you knohat your uncle has done?” The Registrar Official asked fiercely

”I have no knowledge of that whatsoever That year, my uncle left home and we didn't hear much from him That's why I'm here today to find out” Pei Zi Yun replied, ”If I knehere he was, or what he had done, ould I need to ask your Excellency shi+ to help? I would go to hiht away”

At this point, Pei Zi Yun spoke with a tone of sarcasm

”Histrar Official realized that Pei Zi Yun did have a point before looking at him in the eye Some tiot involved in soh Priest and caused quite a stir for soate any further If not, even yourself, master Top Scorer would be put in a predicament”

”I ask that your Excellency reveal to ardless of what happened, I have to retrieve his bones and ashes If not, how could I ever face my mother?” Pei Zi Yun exhaled as he spoke

There was soistrar Official picked up his cup and took a drink, ”Master Top Scorer, I've got a memento from you in the form of your poeo Lumen Mountain”

”As for any other ain” As he spoke, he used his chopsticks to retrieve a last piece ofout

'This Official is indeed extremely impolite and discourteous However, his words were extremely mysterious It seems like thison As for what happened in the sect, I have a vague idea However, whatever happened here in the Southern Kingdom was so bad that even the Official refused to speak of it Looks like I have to take it a step at a tiht to himself, 'However, he did provide a useful inforh Priest, Lumen Mountain And yet he refused to continue How then could I cajole more information from him?'
