Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 353 I’m Here to Send You Away

The weather is cold at the end of the year and the night is dark.

There are thick thorns in the deep valleys, wild animals hide in caves for the winter, birds return to the forest to sleep, the whole forest is silent and gloomy, and the distant sky is shrouded in clouds and fog, as if a storm is about to come.

Deep in the mountains and valleys, in a plum forest.

The ground was covered with dry weeds, with a few red plum blossoms occasionally spinning and falling, dotted among the dry grass.

"Squeak-"

The sound of footsteps on dead grass and leaves was heard, and a woman in a gray robe appeared among the trees.

Her hair was as white as snow, her body was slightly hunched, and she was wearing a pair of straw sandals as she stepped on the dry grass, which was slightly concave and made a rustling sound.

The woman was carrying a straw basket on her arm, which contained a number of plum branches. The plum branches were in bud and in full bloom, with a faint and elegant fragrance.

She was holding a pair of scissors in her hand, about to cut off the plum branch on her head, but she suddenly paused:

"Since you're here, why don't you show up?"

Princess Chanyin smiled faintly and said, "You destroyed my foundation back then. It's not easy for me to survive until now. How can I care about glory and wealth?"

If a catastrophe really comes at that time, Lu Zhan may be the biggest turning point.

"I was fed up with the abbot's daily teachings and the temple's strict rules and regulations. On a rainy night, I poisoned and massacred everyone in the temple."

Princess Chanyin's smile became more and more wicked: "You and I are both royals, and we both know what happened in the South China Sea. The world may not know, but I know who you are. Now that the South China Sea is in turmoil, how long can you live?"

"Can you escape?"

A sudden storm came with thunder, and raindrops hit Merlin, making crackling sounds.

But after coming into contact with Lu Zhan, the Grand Master discovered that although Lu Zhan seemed greedy for money and lustful, he was actually alone. Even if she married Chu Wantang to Lu Zhan, she was only a master, not even a mother-in-law, and Lu Zhan might not devote himself to her.

Princess Chanyin stared at the dark clouds in the sky, her bright eyes full of vicissitudes: "I came to the Central Plains this time just to rebel against the Great Zhou one last time before I die. The moment Mudan died, I knew that my plan had failed. Now I am exhausted. Rather than running away like a rat, I would rather see my old friend."

"I am here to see you off." The Grand Master walked slowly to the front, looked at the woman with snow-white hair in front of him, and said softly, "Chanyin, you are old."

This is also the reason why the Grand Master is eager to promote Lu Zhan. In addition to wanting Lu Zhan to assist Chu Wantang, she also sees that Lu Zhan is a good seedling. In time, Lu Zhan's achievements may far exceed hers.

Princess Chanyin walked up to the Grand Master and stood with her under the umbrella. Her smile was somewhat cold: "Have you thought about your way out?"

The Grand Master was silent for a moment. He was not surprised that Princess Chanyin could say this. He said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

After a long while, Princess Chanyin finally spoke slowly, her tone calm and gentle:

Princess Chanyin walked in the rain, her expression was surprised for a moment, but she soon calmed down: "I think this matter is extremely secret, but you are a powerful female leader, it seems reasonable for you to know it."

The chief minister looked at her quietly, waiting for what to say next.

"Yes, I was the one who slaughtered the entire Buddhist temple in the Western Regions. At that time, I was filled with resentment. I resented my father, the emperor, and my mother for sending me to the Western Regions and taking me far away from my homeland. They called me a natural-born Buddha, but in fact, only I know that I am not one at all."

The Grand Master remained silent. The matter in the South China Sea was indeed difficult and it was a great disaster in her life.

The current unusual movements in the South China Sea are a sign of the coming catastrophe. If not handled properly, the human world will face a catastrophe.

"I am the Princess of Daqing. Having enjoyed the glory brought by Daqing, I must bear the responsibility of Daqing. I am willing to sacrifice my life for the people of Daqing, but I will never let go of the people of Dazhou."

The Grand Master smiled faintly and walked along the path in the plum forest as if she was taking a leisurely stroll in a garden, revealing the calmness and nobility of a high position. She and Chanyin were not really friends, but at this moment they were chatting with emotion like old friends.

The woman in black was tall and slender, and she moved gracefully as she walked. Her face was hidden in the dim light, but it could not hide her stunning beauty. Her eyes were deep, her lips were red like fire, and there was a hint of cynical indifference between her eyebrows.

"The world is ever-changing, everything has changed, most of the old friends have passed away, it's rare that you are still alive, why should you be bothered by it?"

As the gray-robed woman spoke, Merlin behind her trembled slightly, and a woman in black walked out of the woods.

Time has never defeated a beauty.

The rain was pouring down, and the whole Merlin was shrouded in rain and was extremely quiet.

The chief minister looked at the clusters of plum blossoms and sighed, "Why don't you run away?"

"..."

Having said this, Princess Chanyin's eyes fell on the face of the Grand Master.

I still remember the battle that year. Chanyin was extremely handsome and even though she was defeated and fled in the end, the Grand Master still remembered the scene. He was one of the few opponents she had in her life.

The Grand Master looked like an ordinary person, holding up an oil-paper umbrella with a painting of red plum blossoms falling in the snow, his expression calm: "You said this with great righteousness, as if you could sacrifice your own flesh and blood for the people of Daqing. But I have a question, isn't the Western Region Buddhist temple that raised you a citizen of Daqing?"

"It was such a joy to watch them collapse in resentment and fear. Even now, my blood still boils when I think about it."

Therefore, the Grand Master originally thought of marrying Chu Wantang to Lu Zhan. After all, the two of them were in love with each other, and this marriage could be considered a happy ending.

It was actually the Grand Master.

Princess Chanyin listened quietly, just smiling slightly, as if she was thinking about the words of the Grand Master.

"How will you know if you don't try?"

The Grand Master raised his eyebrows and said softly, "The unification of the Great Zhou is the general trend of the world. Although you are the Princess of Daqing, you were sent to the Buddhist temple in the Western Regions when you were young. It is true that Daqing is your motherland, but how much affection do you have for Daqing?"

Dark clouds covered the moon and a bolt of thunder struck from the night sky.

Princess Chanyin looked at this extremely beautiful face and said with a faint smile: "Longjia, you are still the same as before. Time has not left any trace on you."

Her mature voice was a little hoarse, but it didn't sound like an older woman's. Instead, it sounded more like a voice that was experienced and heavy.

But the prerequisite for all this is that Lu Zhan must be willing to join forces with her.

The gray-robed woman said calmly, "Long Jia, long time no see."

It would be better to use other methods to make Lu Zhan come back to his heart.

But no matter what is done, it is not something for a princess of the previous dynasty to worry about.

The chief priest looked at her with a smile and said softly, "If this is your last words, I will write it on your tombstone."

Princess Zenyin said calmly, "I'll wait for you down there."

"Okay." The chief commander looked down at her and said, "I'll kill you again then."

"Rumble--"

Thunder roared across the sky, but the air in Merlin seemed still. The raindrops stopped in mid-air, the sound of the wind stopped abruptly, and the falling plum blossoms stopped in mid-air.

Princess Zenyin's smile froze, her eyes gradually became empty, and a plum blossom slid across her neck, leaving behind an imperceptible tiny scar.

Blood spurted out and dripped onto the bright red plum blossoms, but was washed away by the heavy rain the next moment and turned into mud.

"Puff-"

Princess Chanyin fell on the muddy ground, a smile on her fair face and empty eyes looking into the distance, like a withered and broken flower.

Aunt Mingyu walked out from the depths of the plum forest, looked at the bodies on the ground, and asked softly, "Your Highness, have you dealt with everything?"

The chief minister held an umbrella and stepped over her body without looking back, saying, "She has done many evil things and deserved to die long ago. Now I am sending her off in person, which can be regarded as fulfilling our friendship. Mingyu, let's go back."

Aunt Mingyu nodded slightly: "Yes."

-

The next morning, Lu Zhan returned to Bian Jing.

The Yaoxiang Village incident seemed simple, but no one expected that it would involve so many dirty things.

Now that the matter had been resolved, his colleagues were dealing with the follow-up matters. Lu Zhan had nothing to do, so after returning the Ghost Fire Shaking the Mountain barrier bowl, he headed home.

Along the way, Lu Zhan sorted out the memories of the monsters he killed in the Heavenly Prison. Some of them ate humans to cultivate, while others killed people for money. In short, they were full of evil and deserved to be put to death.

Sorry for not gaining the skill.

"Maybe my luck has run out..."

Lu Zhan had been thinking about this matter the whole time, but fortunately he had acquired the spiritual plant cultivation skills from Butterfly Valley, so it was not a loss.

Looking at the magnificent and solemn imperial city, Lu Zhan felt a sense of security as if he were returning home.

However, the two women beside him who were at loggerheads gave Lu Zhan a headache.

Chu Wantang and Ling Jiaoyue are incompatible.

After thinking it over, Lu Zhan took the initiative to break the silence: "I'm going home to take a shower, and then go to my boss to report this matter. Do you two want to go home with me to take a shower?"

Ling Jiaoyue remained silent and just looked at Chu Wantang coldly, obviously waiting for Chu Wantang to speak first.

Chu Wantang originally wanted to continue the stalemate with Ling Jiaoyue, but after returning to Bian Jing, he had to pay his respects to his master, and he also had to pay attention to the entrustment of the Stoneman Tribe.

Thinking of this, Chu Wantang waved his hand generously: "I still have things to do, let Fairy Ling help you take a bath."

Ling Jiaoyue said indifferently: "He has his own hands."

"..."

Well, the war is about to affect me... Lu Zhan said hurriedly: "In that case, everyone should go about their own business. I'm leaving."

After saying this, Lu Zhan turned into a streak of light and escaped into the capital.

Seeing Lu Zhan leaving, Ling Jiaoyue snorted coldly and turned to leave. She had been competing with Chu Wantang for a long time and had once regarded Chu Wantang as a goal to surpass, but that was in terms of cultivation.

When it comes to love, she is confident that she can win over Chu Wantang.

At least if Chu Wantang wants to enter, he must first get her nod.

Ling Jiaoyue figured this out in her heart and felt much happier.

"..."

Chu Wantang's smile gradually faded, and he flew towards Wuyang Palace.

Wuyang Palace is located in the center of the imperial city. There is no other people living around it, so it is very peaceful.

Chu Wantang flew to the back hall of Wuyang Palace. As soon as he landed, he felt a heat coming. He turned around and saw his master standing behind him.

Chu Wantang bowed, her eyebrows curved:

"Disciple greets Master. Disciple wants to bathe and change clothes before going to greet Master. Why did Master come here in person?"

The Grand Master was very happy to see that her disciple did not use the jade pendant to switch modes. She asked, "Did you bring anything back from your trip to Yuzhou this time?"

Chu Wantang was shocked. She thought of the Stoneman Tribe, but she was not sure, so she asked, "Master, what do you mean by that?"

The chief minister sat on the phoenix chair next to him, his eyes a little lazy: "There is a familiar smell on you, but this smell does not belong to you."

Chu Wantang clenched the golden gravel tightly. It turned out that the person the Stoneman Clan was looking for was her master. She was about to speak when her eyes caught sight of her master's white legs.

The Grand Master's behavior was cynical by nature, and he would put on airs in front of the younger generation outside, but he was not at all shy in his own palace.

She was wearing a purple long skirt at the moment. The soft and delicate fabric outlined her plump body. It would have been fine if it just showed off her figure, but the hem of her skirt was slit to her thighs.

She was not wearing any pants. Now the chief lady was sitting on the chair lazily and domineeringly. The hem of her skirt immediately spread to both sides, revealing her white legs. If you look inside, you can almost see the tightly fitted black shirt.

Chu Wantang's eyelids jumped, and he whispered, "Master, why aren't you wearing pants?"

The chief secretary didn't care about this at all. She waved her hand and said, "There's not even a man's hair in the princess's mansion. It's so light to wear this."
