j inzhou city.

at this moment, the lifeless sect was plotting how to seize liang sheng’s assets when a silvery and bell-like laughter rang out, followed by a plump figure entering the scene.

her sultry eyes and voluptuous figure were as though they could squeeze out water, fully displaying the charm of a young married woman. if liang sheng were here, he would have surely recognized her.

it was none other than second uncle’s “second aunt” who had not yet married into the family, flower mother. however, at this moment, compared to the past, she exuded a more mature beauty, like a delicate and dripping peach.

flower mother then smiled slightly, “elder, rest assured, dealing with an old and useless man like him who’s about to die soon is what i do best.

when i find an opportunity to check out this waste, if their wealth can indeed benefit the holy sect, then let them enjoy some good days.”

“haha, we will naturally be at ease when flower mother takes action. but princess ping’an has already arrived in jinzhou city, so be careful in everything.”

“yes, flower mother understands. elder, you can rest assured. if second uncle fell into my hands, how can he be any exception?”

at this moment, a glint flashed in flower mother’s eyes, and her gaze was filled with a playful expression as if she were hunting prey. she did not expect to return to jinzhou city and her prey would once again be a member of the liang family.

however, this time, she would not fail again.

jinshan temple.

hongzhi suddenly rushed out, his voice arriving before his figure did. upon hearing this, xuan nan’s heart filled with joy.

at this moment of surprise and joy, he couldn’t help but directly ask xia zhiqiu outside, “county lord, are you really just here to search for someone at jinshan temple today?”

xia zhiqiu, on the other hand, looked at the xuan generation high monks with astonishment in his heart. thinking back to zheng wanchun’s words, he no longer had any doubts.

jinshan temple indeed held hidden dragons and crouching tigers. the xuan generation high monks all turned out to have reached the post-natal “eighth” level!

seeing xia zhiqiu’s astonished expression, zheng wanchun hurriedly whispered into his ear, “my lord, i wanted to report it earlier, but…”

xia zhiqiu shook his hand to interrupt him, indicating that he didn’t mind. after hearing xuan nan’s words, he quickly suppressed the amazement in his heart.

after all, there are priorities. it is indeed not advisable to create more problems right now. being able to search jinshan temple without bloodshed would be the best outcome.

so, xia zhiqiu pushed away the constables in front of him and walked to the entrance of jinshan temple, laughing, “there is no need for the masters to be nervous. this is indeed our county’s fault. we should have informed you in advance, but the matter was urgent, and i had no other choice.

however, as this high monk said, i am here today just to search for someone. in order not to cause any accidents, that’s why i ordered my men to surround jinshan temple. i hope the masters can understand my recklessness.”

upon hearing this, xuan nan and the others exchanged glances, also unsure whether this was really just a delaying tactic by the other party.

however, in the current situation, they could only choose to believe the other side. otherwise, were they going to continue confronting each other?

looking at the large force lurking behind the other side and thinking about their abbot elder brother who was still in closed-door cultivation, xuan nan gritted his teeth.

“county lord, please do as you wish. jinshan temple is under jinzhou city jurisdiction, and there’s no inconvenience. just tell us how we can cooperate with you, and we will follow your instructions completely.”

“elder brother xuan nan…”

just as xuan ji was about to speak, he was pulled back by xuan nian beside him, who shook his head at him. reluctantly, he let go of his doubts.

upon hearing xuan nan’s cooperation, xia zhiqiu immediately shouted, “thank you, master, for your understanding. county constables, listen up!

after entering the temple, you must not damage anything, understood?”

“we obey your orders!”

xia zhiqiu had his own considerations for saying this. with so many high monks present, if a conflict broke out, although the advantage lay with them, injuring that person in the chaos would be an unforgivable sin.
