Suddenly, Zhou Ying heard whispers. “Second Miss, are you certain about this within the Mother God Temple? What if the Mother God discovers and punishes us?”
“Don’t be ridiculous,” the Second Miss scoffed. “She isn’t all-seeing. Here, take this powder. Discreetly slip it into her tea tonight.”
“Yes, Second Miss,” the guard replied, hurrying away before Zhou Ying could notice.
Using her divine sense, Zhou Ying easily tracked the nervous servant and the cunning Second Miss with a malicious glint in her eyes. She then followed them to another young woman, seemingly downtrodden.
Concerned, Zhou Ying steered Mingyu away and soon arrived at the spot where she and Gu Chengrui had fought Mrs. Tian.

The servant gave two meows, summoning a man and the Second Miss.
“Cousin,” the Second Miss addressed the man, “I did as you requested. Now, you need to hold up your end of the bargain.”
“Don’t worry,” the man smirked. “The academy closes in three days. Wait at the designated spot, and I guarantee you’ll become the imperial brother-in-law’s woman.”
“I won’t bother you now, then,” the Second Miss said, dismissing the servant before leaving.
Witnessing their plot, Zhou Ying delivered a swift lightning bolt, causing both the Second Miss and her servant to cry out and faint.
Jolted from his sinister plan, the man looked around in terror and attempted to flee.
Zhou Ying boomed in the voice of the Mother Goddess, another bolt of lightning accompanying her command. “The Mother God Temple is sacred ground.. Do not defile it!”
