Chapter 293 - What? Did you think this was going to be a reenactment of the Legend of the White Snake? (2)
A moment later, Ning Yuxuan asked, ”Can you visit a temple?”
Why wouldn't she be able to? With a questioning expression, Ji Man said, ”Although temples are bleak and not very interesting, they're good places for setting one's heart and spirit at ease. Of course this servant can visit a temple. My lord, do you want this servant to go to one? ”
”No.” Ning Yuxuan looked away and let out a long sigh.
Ji Man twitched her lips. This person had been behaving very strange lately. She slipped under the quilt too. Leaning against him, she closed her eyes.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, Ning Yuxuan suddenly said, ”I'll bring you to Xiangguo Temple tomorrow. I heard ... Xuwu, that old monk, said there's going to be a Buddhist gathering there tomorrow.”
”Oh.” Ji Man turned over and continued to keep her eyes closed to sleep.
Marquis Moyu looked at her back figure for a long time. He stretched his hand out and wanted to place his hand down on her shoulder, but after pausing for a moment, he took his hand back.

The vigil for Yun-er had to last for three days, and was accompanied by the sound of Wen Wan crying day and night. It was exactly like a mysterious scene from a TV show, so Ji Man was glad to get a break from this. She left the estate with Ning Yuxuan, and they headed to Xiangguo Temple.
During the entire way there, Ning Yuxuan's expression didn't look good. Ji Man glanced at his hands. They were tightly clenched together.
When they had reached halfway, Marquis Moyu shouted, ”Guibai, drive the carriage slower.”
Ji Man had already been feeling that this ancient-period carriage was as unbearably slow as a tractor. Hearing him say those words, she wasn't able to keep her calm. ”My lord, if we can get there sooner, why wouldn't you want the carriage to move faster?”
Ning Yuxuan glanced at her said, pursed his lips, and said, ”I get motion sickness.”
Ji Man, ”...”

By the time they finally arrive at Xiangguo Temple, it looked like a very lively scene with people coming and going. There was a Buddhist gathering today, so there were Buddhist images hanging by the entrances.
Just as Ji Man was about to take a step inside, he grabbed her hand and stopped her.
”Sangyu.” His hand was slightly sweaty, and he looked at her with a deep gaze as he asked, ”If I wanted to harm, what would you do?”
What?
Ji Man paused. Looking at his gaze, she could tell that he wasn't joking. She suddenly wondered if this temple had some sort of b.o.o.by trap mechanism. It couldn't be that a thousand arrows would shoot through her heart as soon as she entered the temple, right?
No, that wasn't possible. If Ning Yuxuan wanted to kill her, there were countless ways that he could do it without exerting any effort. Right now, her life wasn't worth much. There was no reason why he would need to harm her in broad daylight.
”My lord, didn't you want this servant to enter Xiangguo Temple?” Ji Man faintly smiled. ”Then, this servant will go inside. If my lord wants to harm me, then this servant can only accept my fate.”
