696 Chapter 696 "Meeting Old Lover"

Now move onto the display table. Looking at how grandeur the table was, made of pure sparkling jewel….there's no way there would be nothing on top of it. She suspected that there should be a treasure being placed on the pillow and covered by the glass lid but why is it empty?

Li Shi Ying stole a glance to Gu Zhong and her other beasts who were searching the place to find any sign of cloud plant and couldn't help but shook her head.

This temple looked like an abandoned temple or a temple which was raided by others. Could it be someone attacked the temple and kidnapped the sacred beast? Impossible though.

Li Shi Ying turned her head to the empty display table and sighed. As she looked for the cloud plant, Li Shi Ying casually caressed the smooth glistening table with a thought. Forget about the first two questions. She was still bothered by one last question ever since she stepped to this temple.

The last but not least...she clearly saw someone enter this temple but where is this person now?? Could it be the person was hiding somewhere in the dark area untouched by the sunlight? 

It's possible...after all, the lightning in the temple wasn't really good if not for the sunlight coming from outside. Still, the throne area was rather dark so she herself couldn't see things clearly other than the display table. 

Just when Li Shi Ying was thinking so, she felt a gust of wind coming from behind the throne and followed next was her four beasts alarmed shout added with Gu Zhong panicked voice. 

"Mistress watch out!" 

"Master!" 

"Big sis behind you!"

"Milady dodge!" 

"Li Shi Ying!" 

Jiu Wei and the other three looked at Li Shi Ying with a shocked face. The four of them ran as fast as they could to her place but she herself was confused with their reaction.

What what?! What happened-

Li Shi Ying was about to distance herself from the throne area thinking that the sacred beast would suddenly pop out from the empty throne when a hand suddenly appeared on her neck and with one single move, she was pulled to the back.

"Don't move!" A man's voice sounded right next to Li Shi Ying's ear sending an uncomfortable shiver down the girl's neck. 

Someone was here?! It must be the person who entered the temple earlier!

"You! Let mistress go!" Joy Wei stopped a few meters in front of Li Shi Ying when he saw the person hiding behind the throne all this time, already took Li Shi Ying as a hostage. 

How come they didn't sense this person presence?! He just suddenly jumped out from the empty space behind the throne and when the mistress was coincidentally looking around the throne, the man finally took action.

Li Shi Ying herself was in a great state of confusion. She knew she was in danger of how her beasts reacted. She could saw Jiu Wei face looked pale and extremely worried.

Okay so this stranger took her to be his hostage for no reason at all but why is that she didn't feel any danger coming from this man at all? On the other hand, she had a feeling that this man did this to protect himself?

"Em…" Li Shi Ying tried to talk to the man who suddenly hooked his arm around her neck clearly afraid that she would escape. Let's talk first, this man didn't seem bad since he didn't immediately kill her on the spot with his surprise attack.

!

The man's body jolted when he heard Li Shi Ying's voice. He paused for a bit before slowly releasing Li Shi Ying as if he never does anything to her before, sending a shock to all the people in the temple.

Jiu Wei and the other three beasts all had their jaw dropped to the floor while Gu Zhong eyes widened almost making his eyes popped out from its place. 

Why the hell this strange man suddenly release Li Shi Ying?! Just what's going on?? 

"I'm sorry I'm too panicked, Li Shi Ying" The man chuckled as he stepped out from the dark area to the place touched by sunlight. The moment Li Shi Ying hear this clear voice, the girl quickly turned her head around and the man's face she saw was enough to almost make her faint on the spot.

"T-thén Sin Lung?!" Li Shi Ying jerked back as she instantly avoided the man like a plague. The other people in the temple still didn't know who is the man aside from Li Shi Ying herself.

How could she didn't recognize this face? Even when she died she would always remember the face of the man who betrayed her. But this man...why the hell he was in this world?! Did he transmigrate too? How the hell he ended up in the Griffin Temple just like her? 

Someone please explain!!
