After gathering the seven deadly sins brothers, summon the younger sister!

The incense on the table was slowly drawn up, like morning mist rising, and the Buddha's lowered brows seemed to be watching the two of them.

All things are empty. When conditions come together, things come into being. When conditions cease, things cease. All causes and effects arise from conditions.

In the temple, Buddhist chants are faintly heard, monks are sweeping snow, two monks are sitting cross-legged under a plum tree, a chessboard is carved on the stone ground, and they are placing chess pieces while meditating and seeking enlightenment.

The sounds of chanting, sweeping snow, and dropping chess pieces could be heard clearly by the two people who were meditating in the magnificent and silent hall.

No one in the hall made a sound to disturb the Buddhist tranquility. The two of them meditated quietly until Pu Ran comprehended another law of fate. Then she stood up respectfully and bid farewell to the Buddha.

The girl in the veil was about to get up and leave, but when she turned around, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the profile of the man who was meditating with his eyes closed, and her steps paused noticeably.

Eh, looks familiar.

She raised her hand and opened the veil a little, so that she could see more clearly, with dark eyebrows and red lips, and a noble temperament.

Xie Jinyan?

Such a coincidence?

The last time we came together, you were disrespectful to the Buddha, why have you changed your attitude and shown such respect to him now?

He even knew to change into plain clothes to worship Buddha, which is commendable.

Speaking of Xie Jinyan, Pu Ran recalled and pondered, I didn't seem to cause any trouble when I was in the Xuanyue Palace. On the contrary, I prayed for rain and blocked the enemy, and did a lot of good things.

Merit!

Recalling every moment he had spent with Xie Jinyan, Pu Ran felt that he had gained a lot of merit, and the people of Xuan Yue highly respected the new king.

Suddenly feel that this person is not bad?

Suddenly she curved her lips into a smile, put down her veil, and walked away.

Xie Jinyan knew someone was watching him, even though he was concentrating and closing his eyes, he did not open them.

He could hear the slight rubbing of clothes when the other person stood up, and the sound of footsteps that just started and then stopped. The person was standing next to him.

Could it be that he recognized my identity?

He was puzzled, his long eyelashes raised, and he looked back to see the man stepping out of the hall.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva

Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva——

It was a gust of wind sent by the sky, which blew off the veil on the girl's head. The wind stopped suddenly, which was very strange.

Xie Jinyan seemed to be frozen in place like a stone statue, his long, misty eyes trembling as he stared at the girl's profile.

He didn't recognize this face, but for some reason, just one glance at it made his heart surge like huge waves on the sea, with strange emotions that could not be calmed down.

The veil fell not far away. Pu Ran walked over, bent down and picked it up, and patted the dust off it, wondering: "Strange..."

How come there is wind suddenly in a windless place?

Her voice was very soft, and her self-whisper was as thin as a mosquito's voice, but Xie Jinyan, who was staring at her intently, heard it clearly.

Just two words could not confirm a person's voice, but even a momentary resemblance was enough to make him risk everything to confirm it.

Xie Jinyan felt that his throat was dry and painful from lack of oxygen in his chest, and his legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead.

His entire scalp was beating violently along with his pounding heart, and his eyes were filled with anxiety that was about to overflow.

Just as Pu Ran put on the veil, her wrist was suddenly restrained by the man's hand.

It was so hot, it felt like there was a flame hidden in his palm, almost melting the girl's icy skin.

"I……"

Xie Jinyan was almost reckless. He threw away all the etiquette he had observed since childhood, lost his composure, and rashly and awkwardly grabbed the wrist of a strange girl, rolling his dry throat:

"Do we know each other?"

His eyes were burning and bright, and he stared straight into the girl's eyes, trying to see through the veil.

There is a person living in Xie Jinyan's heart. It is extremely ridiculous that he does not know what that person really looks like, and he only hears that person's real voice when they are about to part.

The miracle happened at this moment.

He heard a voice very similar to that man's. He wanted to shout, but he didn't dare to. He wanted to laugh out loud, but he was afraid that everything would be in vain.

What if I recognized the wrong person?

Pu Ran is now completely puzzled. How did you recognize me?

She shook her head, pulled her hand back, and indicated that the other party had recognized the wrong person.

Seeing that she wanted to leave, Xie Jinyan's heart trembled, his fingers were powerless to move, his voice was hoarse but still hopeful: "Miss, can you tell me your name?"

She didn't say anything, but just lifted her veil and glanced at him unhappily.

It seems to be saying: Stay away from me, you scoundrel.

Xie Jinyan pursed his pale pink thin lips, and it was not easy to force the other person to stay.

Sure enough, I recognized the wrong person.

He couldn't tell what he felt for a moment, probably because he hadn't yet recovered from the huge gap in his heart. He just followed the girl carefully, keeping a proper distance.

Pu Ran came to the carriage, and Ao Man personally lifted the curtain for her. From a distance, Xie Jinyan could see the silver hair cascading in front of her, and although her face was mostly blocked by the curtain due to the angle, the corners of her lips were still showing a smile.

Dingyuanhou.

In an instant he determined the other person's identity.

The carriage drove away and he stood there in a daze for a long time.

It is not difficult to guess, who else could be the girl that Song Zhiyuan holds in his heart, except the one he calls the immortal "sister"?

She will not die. She was able to repel the Black Robe Army easily. With such powerful strength, how could she be buried in a sea of ​​fire?

"what……"

"Hahahaha-"

Xie Jinyan threw his head back and laughed. The sunlight was blinding, so he raised his hands to cover his eyes. Then he bent over, laughing uncontrollably, and crystal liquid fell from between his fingers like silver threads.

She used to tease him.

She broke the jewel necklace and pinned him to the rockery cave, nearly suffocating him.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?"

The guards were so anxious that they were at a loss, but Xie Jinyan wiped away his tears and looked relaxed: "It's okay, go back to the palace, review the memorials this afternoon, and go to the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow."

He smiled.

"I wonder how the Marquis has been doing these days."

……

Inside the carriage.

Pu Ran took off his veil and smiled: "My god, I had a very pleasant chat with the Buddha today."

Arrogant didn't believe in gods or Buddhas, but he still followed her words and said, "If you can be happy, then this trip is certainly worth it."

Little Stone supported his cheeks with both hands and said, "By the way, I saw Xie Jinyan just now."

Arrogance suddenly gathered, and a shallow wrinkle appeared between his brows.

"Did he recognize you?"

"It seems so? But I didn't recognize it."

This answer really made Ao Wang feel relieved, but there was nothing he could do about the fact that she was a heartless person.

If I put myself in Xie Jinyan's perspective, I would probably be in excruciating pain.

"I'll take you to see the Xuanyue Mountains and Waters in the next few days."

"You mean we should start hanging out tomorrow?"

"Ah."

Are you waiting for Xie Jinyan to come to you instead of going out?

He leaned over and gently held the girl in his arms, and the more he thought about it, the deeper his frown became.
