Cypress Boat Floating

As the sky gradually darkened, curls of smoke rose from the bamboo house. One person was cooking inside the house, and another was playing the piano in the yard. Business was booming.

"Zhi Xu, it's time to eat." Another elegant young man wearing an apron and holding a plate of food walked out of the house.

The glow of the setting sun from the horizon shone on their faces, making them look even more handsome.

Murong Zhixu stopped playing the piano, fumbled to stand up, and walked to the stone chair on the other side of the yard and sat down.

"Miss, if you don't mind, come out and eat together." After Chi Yu sat down, Murong Zhixu took the chopsticks that Chi Yu handed to her and spoke.

The sound was not loud, but Ye Jianqing who was hiding in the dark could hear it clearly.

Perhaps he had already guessed that he would be discovered. Ye Jianqing touched his nose and walked out without any embarrassment. "Young Master is really amazing. He can even discover this."

"Miss, are you here to ask about the shrine?" Murong Zhixu was not surprised that she knew about Ye Jianqing's following, but what surprised her was that Chi Yu was not surprised at all, and even brought her a pair of chopsticks.

"You two knew I would come." Times are new and familiar. Although they didn't know Ye Jianqing, Ye Jianqing knew them and had even had dinner with them once. This time, Ye Jianqing was not shy. Seeing that they had prepared the bowls and chopsticks, he sat down and started eating.

"The girl should have checked on us. What did she find out?" Chi Yu picked up some meat for Murong Zhixu and asked Ye Jianqing with a smile.

"In fact, the young master should know it. What else can I find out? It's just those things, just Young Master Qin and so on." It must be said that Chi Yu's cooking skills are really good. Ye Jianqing hasn't eaten yet tonight, and now he is really hungry.

Despite this, Ye Jianqing still observed the two people opposite him and found that they had no reaction when they heard the name "Master Qin".

Ye Jianqing raised his eyebrows. It was strange. It was completely different from the reaction he had when he heard about Shenwu's reaction this morning. Was he planning to deny it?

"Is this all the Dali Temple can find out?" Chi Yu said with some disdain.

"How do you know I'm from the Dali Temple?" Ye Jianqing never said from beginning to end that he got his things from the Dali Temple. How did he know?

"The young man who was with you this morning must be the Eighth Prince, right? He has been quite famous in the capital this year and has solved many major cases."

"Oh, how did you recognize him? I remember we were both wearing veils."

"The veil can only cover his face, but it can't cover the token he carries. Zhixu may not be able to see it, but I can still see it. The jade pendant is hanging there carelessly, so of course I can recognize it."

"Then how do you know that I am the woman you met this morning?" Ye Jianqing asked again.

"Because you have a faint scent of gardenia on you, which is extremely rare in this capital city." This time it was Murong Zhixu who spoke. Although he could not see, his sense of smell was very sensitive. When God deprives you of one thing, he will definitely give you another talent.

Ye Jianqing sniffed herself from side to side. Why didn't she smell the scent of gardenia on herself?

"The girl must have planted gardenias in the yard. If they were made into sachets, the smell would be stronger."

That was true. Ye Jianqing thought of the gardenia in her yard. It was very likely that there was a smell. Knowing the source of the smell, she didn't care so much. She continued to eat and greeted them: "Eat, let's eat first and talk after dinner."

Seeing her acting like the host, Murong Zhixu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Young lady, you are really rude. Aren't you afraid that we will poison the food?"

"Poison?" Ye Jianqing looked at them with amusement, and continued to pick up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. After swallowing it, he spoke: "If you want to kill me, you don't have to go through so much trouble. With Master Qin's attainments, you could have killed me without me knowing when I came just now, right?"

Murong Zhixu sighed, "Master Qin is dead, and now the only person in front of you is a blind Murong Zhixu."

"But no one has found Master Qin's body. Do you think everyone really thinks Master Qin is dead?"

This casual remark made Chi Yu's muscles tense. He tightly gripped the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Ye Jianqing vigilantly.

Murong Zhixu was rescued by Chi Yu from the bottom of the cliff step by step at the risk of his life. He saved her with his own life. He would not allow anyone to hurt Murong Zhixu again in front of him. If the person opposite really dared to do something, he didn't mind making her disappear here immediately.

Chi Yu's murderous aura spread throughout the courtyard, and Ye Jianqing continued to eat as if he knew nothing and felt nothing. Murong Zhixu patted Chi Yu's hand with the other hand that was not holding the chopsticks, signaling him to relax.

"Hey, hey, don't be so nervous. I'm just a little maid beside the prince. How could I have the ability to get involved with people in the martial arts world? Don't you think so?" After Ye Jianqing swallowed the last bit of rice in the bowl, he seemed to realize that something was wrong on the table. He put down his bowl and chopsticks with a smile.

"What do you want to do?" Chi Yu asked through gritted teeth. He couldn't understand the girl in front of him. Why did she come here? The shrine? But she didn't look like that. After coming here, she didn't say what she was going to do, and she was laughing here.

"Eh." Hearing his question, Ye Jianqing was surprised: "I've been here for so long, Master Chi still doesn't know why I'm here?"

"You ate here as soon as you arrived, how would I know?" Chi Yu said gritting his teeth.

"Ah, this..." Ye Jianqing looked at Murong Zhixu. This shouldn't be the case. Don't these two people know their purpose?

"Miss, do you want to ask about the shrine?" It was Murong Zhixu again. He sighed, interrupted Chi Yu's "friendly discussion" with Ye Jianqing, and asked.

"Mr. Murong is really smart. My purpose has been very clear since this morning, which is the God's House. This God's House that suddenly appeared in the capital is really curious. It requires special methods to find the God's House. And I heard that this God's House can fulfill any wish. Don't you think it's rare?" Ye Jianqing has one good point, that is, he always likes to ask questions with a smile on his face, which makes people feel better. It's the same now.

Of course, if we exclude the conversation she had with Chi Yu at the beginning, perhaps Chi Yu would be happier looking at her smiling face, but now he just feels upset.

"I know nothing about the shrine. Please go back, young lady." Murong Zhixu didn't seem to intend to say anything more to her.

But Ye Jianqing is not the kind of person who can be easily dismissed. It should be said that her patience is quite good.

"That's impossible. I remember that Master Murong was discussing the matter of the God's House with Master Chi this morning, right?"

"Are you leaving or not? Zhixu said he doesn't know, which means he doesn't know." Murong Zhixu was not anxious, but Chi Yu was the first to get anxious. He frowned and was about to drive Ye Jianqing away, and even slammed his chopsticks.

"Oh, I'm so scared." Ye Jianqing pretended to be scared with a fearless face, which only made Chi Yu more angry. If she wasn't young, she would have been unable to resist swinging her fist at him.

"Chi Yu, don't be anxious." Although Murong Zhixu's personality is always indifferent, giving people a feeling of being close yet distant, he is much more stable and patient than Chi Yu. Perhaps it is because of practicing the piano. After all, people who play the piano can play out their emotions.

"Girl, let me tell you, this shrine is full of dangers, so you'd better not get close to it." Murong Zhixu was sincerely trying to persuade Ye Jianqing, but whether Ye Jianqing would listen or not was another matter.

However, now it is not a question of whether Ye Jianqing should stay away from the shrine or not, but the emperor has already ordered to deal with the shrine, and Lu Ci Qiu has already accepted the task. She is in the same boat with Lu Ci Qiu and can't leave whenever she wants.

"Young Master, you also know that the shrine is dangerous. Do you know why the Dali Temple wants to investigate this shrine?" Ye Jianqing put away the playful smile on his face and looked at Murong Zhixu solemnly and seriously. Although he knew that Murong Zhixu couldn't see, this was a respect for him.

"The God's House uses the excuse of innocence to harm the people, saying that it can satisfy any wish of the people. But if those so-called wishes can be easily obtained without their own efforts, will people cherish them? No. Not only will they not, but they will also waste them. Are these so-called wishes real wishes? They are just desires in people's hearts.

When they know that these desires can be obtained through some means, their desires will develop to infinity, first obtaining something that does not belong to them, and then what? Depriving others of their lives?

That's why we are investigating this house of gods.

The shrine should not exist in the first place.

People's wishes should be achieved through their own efforts, not through some improper means. "

Ye Jianqing's words silenced the two people on the opposite side, especially Chi Yu. He had originally been full of disdain for Ye Jianqing, but now as he listened, a look of justice like Ye Jianqing appeared on his face.

“Although I am only a little maidservant beside the Eighth Prince, I also know that the God’s House is a scourge to people, so we must investigate and eliminate it. This is our duty, and it is also our duty to protect all the people of Da’an.

So I still hope that Master Murong can tell me something about the God House."

Ye Jianqing stood up and bowed deeply in the direction of Murong Zhixu.

Although she didn't know Murong Zhixu very well, from the brief time they had spent together and his past that she had read in the files, she felt that Murong Zhixu would be willing to help her after hearing what she said.

She could only take a gamble.
