In fact, I like you too!

However, in her heart, he was like a ball of fog, untouchable and unfathomable. He was more like a god, a god that had always existed in the world she looked up to.

But now that god-like person had told her that he liked her, how could she accept it all of a sudden?

Thinking about it, he felt that the scene at this moment was so surreal, comforting himself continuously. Perhaps what he said about liking her was just the kind of love that a friend would have. It was different from what he imagined!

Thinking about it this way, Hong Zhong felt that her thoughts were a little too vulgar, thus she did not dare look at Baili Mingyue, and scattered everywhere, feeling extremely guilty.

Looking at Hong Zhong's stupefied expression, she did not know what to do. Baili Mingyue's lips curved into a faint smile, carrying a sense of self-mockery. He was indeed a person abandoned by the heavens. Even this last bit of warmth was not willing to leave him!

In her beautiful eyes, the brightness gradually faded and became dark. Her moving heart also gradually returned to being calm and tranquil. Love is different from the definition of love, no one set a rule, like must be adoration, and no one set a rule that like must be together.

Even if she chose to reject his offer, he would not give up and would choose to protect her instead. Sometimes, being able to stay by her beloved's side was also a type of great fortune!

Even though Hong Zhong was guilty, and her gaze drifted in all directions, sshe still caught sight of Baili Mingyue's gloomy face from the corner of her eyes. Without thinking, he blurted out: "Actually … I like you too. "

She didn't understand why she would say such words. She only felt her eyebrows knit together as she looked at his gloomy gaze, and inadvertently said those words. But after saying those words, she was shocked to realize that perhaps he only liked her as a friend! As he thought about it, he added another sentence: "Just like how you like me!"

Even if he was just a friend to her, this shouldn't be too embarrassing!

Actually, I like you too, just like you like me? Did she like him?! These words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing layer upon layer of waves to surge in Baili Mingyue's heart.

She liked him, too!

His originally dull eyes suddenly lit up. His heart, which had already calmed down, became excited after hearing Hong Zhong's words. He didn't know how to describe this feeling. All he knew was that after being silent for over twenty years, his heart was pounding violently because of a single sentence from this little girl.

As she thought of this, her cheeks that were as beautiful as jade actually unconsciously blushed a little. Fortunately, it was at night, so it was hard to tell! He opened his mouth, but did not know what to say. He looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, I'll send you back to rest."

"Mm. Alright." Hearing that, Hong Zhong extinguished the fire in front of him, then took the remaining roasted sweet potato, preparing to bring it back to Qing Ya. As soon as she stood up, he was wrapped by a plain cloak, and beside her ears was the cold voice of Baili Mingyue: "The sky is cold, don't freeze!"

"Mm. Alright." Hong Zhong pulled the cape on her shoulders, and only felt a sweet feeling spreading from the bottom of her heart. Following that, her unarmed hands were surrounded by her warm palms as she followed him, step by step, towards the direction of the East Garden.

Looking at the backs of the two, Wu Hen and Wu Shang who were in the dark seemed to have been struck by lightning, and were petrified on the spot! After all, they had been following their master for more than ten years and had never seen him be so gentle and gentle!

Also, wasn't this master's EQ a bit too low? Since the girl had already said, "I like you too," wasn't it time to say some sweet words to improve their relationship? He actually said, "It's already late, I'll send you back to rest."

What the heck is this!

Wu Shang used his arm to poke Wu Hen, and lowered his voice, "Boss, you always follow beside master, is our master being tricked?"

"..." Wu Hen glared at him, and knew that this was the first time Wu Shang had seen such a scene, so he wasn't used to it. He should have long since gotten used to it, but he didn't expect Master to have such a straightforward day, so he was only not used to it for a short period of time.

Baili Mingyue pulled Hong Zhong down from the back mountain and arrived at the Great Hall of National Temple. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, causing Baili Mingyue's expression to turn serious and a slight displeasure appeared between his brows.

Seeing the change in Baili Mingyue, Hong Zhong looked around vigilantly: "Uncle, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine." Baili Mingyue glanced at the alleyway behind the great hall, her eyes that were as bright as the moon twinkled as she said, "I'll send you back first."

Seeing that Baili Mingyue's gaze had shifted towards the small alley, Hong Zhong could vaguely remember that this small alley seemed to lead to the Sentiment Crossing Cliff? Uncle, did you discover something? "

Baili Mingyue looked at Hong Zhong, then looked in the direction of the Sentiment Crossing Cliff, and spoke with a domineering tone that Hong Zhong had never seen before, "They are just ants, don't worry about them." Then, she held Hong Zhong's hand and walked towards the East Garden.

Only until they reached the entrance of the East Garden did Baili Mingyue stop. Even though Baili Mingyue is the regent, she would still be inconvenient to enter. Thus, she could only send him to the door, and extend her hand to gather up the strands of hair on Hong Zhong's forehead. "Go in."

"Right." Hong Zhong nodded and walked into the East Garden.

It was only until Hong Zhong had entered the East Garden that Baili Mingyue finally flashed and disappeared into the night sky.

Hong Zhong pulled her cape, and was about to enter, but suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the roof, and after quietly hiding behind a pillar for a long time, she saw a black shadow jump from the roof, towards the Sentiment Crossing Cliff's direction.

Sentiment Crossing Cliff again?!

Hong Zhong was full of suspicions in her heart. Her intuition told him that something would happen in Sentiment Crossing Cliff tonight, and that it would definitely be related to him! Thus, without giving it much thought, she turned around and left the East Garden, chasing after the black shadow as she headed in the direction of the Sentiment Crossing Cliff.

That black shadow was coming out of East Garden. They should be the people living inside! There were only a few that knew martial arts, who on earth would still go to Sentiment Crossing Cliff at such a late time?!

Hong Zhong followed the black silhouette and very quickly arrived at a quiet bamboo forest. Looking around, he saw that there was no trace of the man in black. He could not help but feel depressed in his heart. If he did not know martial arts, then he would be at a disadvantage!

Carefully advancing forward through the pitch black bamboo forest, not long after, he saw a stone tablet with three words written on it. Hong Zhong recognized two of the words, from the looks of it, it was Sentiment Crossing Cliff!

After walking a few steps, he heard a sound from ahead, Hong Zhong immediately entered the bamboo forest in alert, borrowing the moonlight to look ahead.

At the edge of the cliff, there was a mountain gate. Yellow light shone from the gate, and two people could be vaguely seen inside. One was dressed in black, and the other was dressed in plain yellow.

Hong Zhong wanted to lean closer, but she was worried about exposing herself, so she could only lean on the green bamboo and try her best to listen for the voices inside. However, because she was too far away, she could not hear it clearly, and could only vaguely hear words like "uncle", "Back", "imperial aunt".

Hong Zhong was startled, but held her breath as she moved closer to the small house.

"Seven Uncle Wang s, this Big Brother Jin has come from far away to see you. For an outsider, are you really that heartless?" This was Huyan Ruolan's voice!

Hong Zhong paused for a moment, then instantly understood that the figure running out of East Garden was Huyan Ruolan! Based on her words, she guessed that this Master of Pure Wisdom inside, if he could be called Uncle Wang by Huyan Ruolan, then he should be someone from the Xi Ling Royal Family!

Just as he was speculating, another male voice came from the other side: "Lan Er, don't call him uncle! He is not worthy at all! " Although his voice was firm and decisive, one could still hear that the one who spoke was Huyan Ruijin!

With this, Hong Zhong seemed to understand that Huyan Ruijin's real purpose for coming to the National Temple was not to pray for a marriage string. If she guessed correctly, the one here was her real purpose!

"Amitabha." Master of Pure Wisdom twiddled with the buddhist beads and calmly said: "There is only pure intelligence here, there is no king of the imperial family here. Benefactor, please go back! "

"Sigh... "You!" Seeing that, Huyan Ruolan became anxious: "You, Big Brother Jin is from far away, I specially came here to inform you, that you did not react, it's fine, but how can you reject me like that! Could it be that the days in Sentiment Crossing Cliff are really worse than the days in Duke Xi Ling's Palace? "

Hearing that, Master of Pure Wisdom closed his eyes indifferently, still playing with the buddhist beads, he no longer bothered with Huyan Ruolan.

The scene within was so quiet that it seemed to be afraid of people.

Until Hong Zhong started to suspect that the people inside were all asleep when they came out. They were all dressed in black, and Huyan Ruijin was the first to quickly walk out from inside. Even though she was trying her best to suppress them, Hong Zhong could still feel a trembling rage within him.

As for Huyan Ruolan, she quickly followed behind Huyan Ruijin. "Big Brother Jin, Big Brother Jin, don't go!"

Huyan Ruijin paused in her steps, but did not turn her head back as she coldly berated: "Shut up, who allowed you to follow me!"

Huyan Ruolan tactfully closed her mouth, and silently followed behind Huyan Ruijin.

When they were out of sight, they finally saw a monk about fifty years old standing in front of the mountain gate. Although he was quite old and was wearing a cassock, his upright posture still showed the elegance of his youth.

At this moment, he was silently looking in the direction in which Huyan Ruijin had disappeared. His eyes looked calm and tranquil, but if one looked carefully, they would see a little regret and reluctance in his eyes.

From the looks of it, could it be that his intuition was wrong? What happened here tonight was completely unrelated to him?! Hong Zhong scratched his head, he was preparing to retreat, but he suddenly heard a deep male voice: "Since you're already here, why don't you come in?"

Hong Zhong stiffened up and looked around. After discovering that there was no one around, she suspected that the Master of Pure Wisdom was talking to her. She braced herself and crawled out of the bamboo forest, out of respect for the elderly, she clasped her hands together and bowed to the Master of Pure Wisdom, "Master, please."

Master of Pure Wisdom immediately replied with a bow. "Third Miss, please!"

How did he know who I was?! Hong Zhong looked at the kind old man in front of him with a belly full of suspicions. After thinking for a bit, he decided that since he was already here, he would take care of this matter.

After entering, he found that the place where the Master of Pure Wisdom lived was actually a cave on the Sentiment Crossing Cliff's cliff. He did not know if it was man-made or natural, but the incense burner was emitting a thin smoke, and inside it was burning sandalwood that could calm one's heart.

Master of Pure Wisdom entered the room, closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the brick bed: "Third Miss, please sit."

"Thank you, Master." Hong Zhong did not hold back and sat on the other side. Just as he sat down and was about to speak, Master of Pure Wisdom was the first to speak: "Third Miss, are you used to living here?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Hong Zhong pretended to be calm on the surface as she laughed, but there was an indescribable nervousness in her heart, and her eyes revealed traces of caution. Since this person knew of her identity, what was the meaning of this question? Are you used to life here? Was it a habit of the National Temple, or an ancient habit of life?

Master of Pure Wisdom naturally saw the caution in Hong Zhong's eyes and smiled indifferently: "Third Miss, no need to be so nervous, your fate is unique. With regards to where Third Miss came from, this old monk believes that all of this is fated by the heavens, I hope Third Miss can be at ease. This old monk is not a talkative person, towards Third Miss, this old monk has no ill intentions! "

Hong Zhong was startled, but at the same time, her heart was ringing an alarm bell. This old monk actually said that her fate was strange, could it be that he knew that she had teleported here, and not the original Hong Zhong?!

"Yes." She didn't say that she didn't trust Master of Pure Wisdom, and didn't say that she didn't trust him. Right now, she is shouldering far more than just her own life, with hundreds of Red House s and hundreds of thousands of Red Army s, and even more than one hundred thousand Red Army s. Thus, she cannot act rashly right now, and naturally couldn't casually expose herself.

"On behalf of an old friend, bring a message to Third Miss." Master of Pure Wisdom smiled and spoke indifferently.

"Old friends?" This made Hong Zhong even more suspicious, and she sized Master of Pure Wisdom up. She estimated that Master of Pure Wisdom was around 50 years old, how could an old friend ask him to pass a message to him? "Then what is the identity of an old friend?" What did he say? "

Master of Pure Wisdom indifferently said: "Ying Yuan Yu and Viper Star, the daughter of Golden Age's beautiful flower emperor. The Tiansha Lone Turtle is a distant relative, and was destined not to be a broken army. "

"Ying Yuan Yu Ziwei Xing, Golden Age of the flower emperors. The Tiansha Lone Turtle is a distant relative, and was destined not to be a broken army. " What exactly did such a profound sentence mean? Hong Zhong recited the poem again, and forgave her for not being able to understand the poem: "Master, can you tell me what the meaning of the few lines of the poem is?"

"Amitabha, this is heaven's will, you can't reveal the meaning behind it. The meaning still needs Third Miss to experience it for herself." Master of Pure Wisdom bowed and said with a smile.

Hong Zhong smirked, she actually knew about it in the past. Cultivators were the most particular kind of people, and they would never do anything that would damage their cultivation. It would not be difficult to force others to do as she thought, "In that case, this young lady will not force anyone to do anything. However, can the Grandmaster tell me the identity of that old friend?" If he knew, he should at least know who it was that left him such a weird message.
