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.

Thus, being able to conduct a peaceful search now was already fortunate. Subsequently, both sides restrained themselves and cooperated, and the situation was quickly resolved.

The Reception Hall was originally responsible for managing temple affairs, and Hongzhi immediately cooperated with the Xuan Generation High Monks to convey Xuan Nan’s order to each of the other halls. Before long, all the Sramanera Bhikkhu monks were gathered in the courtyard in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

At this time, the County Ya Catcher and others had confirmed that no one was hiding, and even Liang Ying had returned to Xia Zhiqiu’s side.

Xia Zhiqiu respectfully took out an old woman from the horse carriage behind the guards at this time. She was the old wet nurse to Wang Fei.

The old nurse nodded slightly, and then she walked to the Sramanera Bhikkhu and began to check them one by one.

Xia Zhiqiu couldn’t help but hold his breath, praying in his heart that they would find her so that he wouldn’t have to stay in Jinzhou City forever.

This was not his world. The place where he could truly demonstrate his ambitions was in the Capital, at the Dayan Imperial Court!

Jinzhou City.

Outside Liang Sheng’s Mansion.

Liang Sheng didn’t know that someone was targeting him and decided to stay home until he heard some good news.

After all, safety comes first!

Outside the mansion, Flower Mother was watching for a long time and couldn’t help but feel angry. How could she have a chance encounter with this useless man if he didn’t leave the house, let alone embrace him!

Because Liang Sheng was worried about the uncontrollable situation in Jinzhou City, he hid at home as soon as he got the news.

Flower Mother couldn’t help but grind her teeth in hatred, thinking that the men of the Liang Family were all spineless. She had deliberately captured a baby, claiming it was Liang Qiang’s child.

In the end, all Liang Qiang left her was Twenty Thousand Liang’s worth of Silver Notes, and nothing else. If Liang Qiang had only been a little braver and welcomed her and the girl into his Mansion, wouldn’t all his property have belonged to her?

If that were the case, there would be no need for the Holy Sect to be so tight on funds now.

Flower Mother became more and more angry, but now was not the time to complain. The most important thing now was to figure out how to meet Liang Shing, the waste.

But before she could come up with a good idea, she was suddenly called back by the No-Life Sect followers. As soon as she entered the base, she saw that everyone’s faces were ugly.

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

As soon as she spoke, it finally broke the oppressive atmosphere at that moment. One person couldn’t help but slap the table, instantly shattering it.

“Sit down. If you lose your temper over a little problem, how can you achieve great things?”

The Elder’s voice showed no emotion, and the person who slapped the table just now quickly knelt down. “Elder, 1 was too excited.”

But he still couldn’t help the anger in his heart. “But the monks of Jinshan Temple are really infuriating.”

“The Elder’s perfect plan was ruined by them. No one expected them to completely abandon the glory of the Seven Great Sects and submit to the Court hounds. It’s really hateful.”

With that, Flower Mother understood from their narration what had happened, and no wonder they were so agitated.

The monks of Jinshan Temple had their doors wide open without any resistance, allowing the government hounds to enter the temple and search.

As a result, the Elder of the Lifeless Sect’s one-stone two-bird plan completely failed. How could they accept this outcome?

The monks of Jinshan Temple were truly hateful!

If the Court hounds really found the Prince of Ping’an, wouldn’t that be like lifting a rock only to drop it on one’s own foot?

Just then, there was a knock on the door. After checking the secret signal, a church member of the No-Life Sect entered and knelt on the ground.

“Elder, something has happened!”
