After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

Helan Xuenuo and Yuan Xu walked back together. When they passed by the martial arts training ground, they saw Mu Kong pick up a stone on the ground. The stone was about the size of a fingertip. He flicked it out from under his sleeve and hit a soldier's hand, causing pain and pushing it away.

The soldier was practicing martial arts with Xiao Zhu. Seeing that the boxer was about to swing at Xiao Zhu, Mu Kong's punch hurt his hand, and he pinched his hand and cried out in pain.

Mu Kong said in a dull voice, "Alright, that's enough."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhu raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Helan Xuenuo discovered that Mu Kong actually knew these secret doors. Just a stone was thrown out like this, making the soldier cry out in pain.

Her eyes lit up, and she smiled mischievously as she thought of what she had to do the day after tomorrow.

Yuan Xu asked from the side, "What are you laughing at? Are you going to do something bad?"

Helan Xuenuo chuckled, "No...no." She pushed Yuan Xu towards the exit of the training ground, "You go back first. Xiao Zhu and I have something to do later."

Yuan Xu let her push him, but suddenly stopped. No matter how hard Helan Xuenuo pushed, she couldn't move. Yuan Xu turned around and asked with a puzzled look, "What is it that I can't know?"

Helan Xuenuo coughed and said, "This... is a girl's business. As a grown man, you don't need to know."

Yuan Xu understood a little bit, and her face turned slightly red. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'm leaving. See you the day after tomorrow."

Helan Xuenuo nodded and said, "I know! Wait for me outside the mansion the day after tomorrow evening."

Yuan Xu walked a few steps and turned back. Helan Xuenuo smiled and waved, urging him to leave, "Come back soon."

Yuan Xu just turned around and left.

After Yuan Xu left, Helan Xuenuo's smile widened and she gave him a sly grin.

She walked towards Mu Kong and Xiao Zhu.

Mu Kong noticed Helan Xuenuo first and bowed, "Miss."

Xiao Zhu just saw Helan Xuenuo, patted the dust off his sleeves, ran over and hooked his hand with Helan Xuenuo, and asked with a smile, "Miss, are you done practicing?"

Helan Xuenuo hooked her nose and said, "Yes."

She turned her eyes to Mu Kong and exclaimed, "Mu Kong, I just accidentally saw you use a stone to lightly flick someone and cause pain. Your secret door is amazing. I didn't even notice it before."

Mu Kong remained calm and replied gently, "You're too kind, young lady. I've loved throwing stones in ponds since I was little, and I've mastered a few tricks over and over. But they're just for teasing people, not for real. On the battlefield, I still need real weapons."

Helan Xuenuo shook his head and said, "You are too modest. Are you busy the day after tomorrow? I may need your help with something."

Mu Kong replied without hesitation, "Okay."

"Is that okay?"

"Ah."

Helan Xuenuo could no longer suppress the joy on her face and said with a smile, "Then we will gather at the gate of the mansion at 11:00 AM the day after tomorrow."

Mu Kong nodded.

When the two of them left, Xiao Zhu turned around and waved goodbye to Mu Kong. Mu Kong smiled. Xiao Zhu's heart suddenly started beating fast. She turned around and suppressed her laughter and said, "Girl, Mu Kong smiled at me."

Helan Xuenuo, "..." She poked Xiaozhu's forehead, "Your love-brain is terrible! He just smiled at you, and you got so excited? If he hugged you, wouldn't you give him your life?"

Xiao Zhu lowered her head shyly and said, "Girl, what are you talking about? Why would Mu Kong hug me? If he hugged me..."

Helan Xuenuo interrupted her, "Okay, your brain..."

Xiao Zhu suddenly remembered what Helan Xuenuo had just said about the day after tomorrow, and asked curiously, "Miss, what are you going to do the day after tomorrow? What is it that requires the help of Mu Kong?"

Helan Xuenuo said with a wicked smile, "Playing tricks on people."

"Who?"

"You'll know the day after tomorrow."

Xiao Zhu began to wonder who she was trying to trick. She only thought about things briefly, then forgot about them.

I just remember that I will go to do something with Mu Kong the day after tomorrow. At that time, I must work hard to make Mu Kong's eyes light up.

The day after tomorrow was just dawn.

The three of them gathered outside Helan Mansion.

Xiaozhu got up earlier than Helan Xuenuo, got ready early, and changed into brightly colored clothes. It was only when Helan Xuenuo asked her to change into light-colored clothes that would not be easily noticed that she changed.

Now, she was wearing a green dress with a light rouge on her face, which made her whole face look a little more colorful. Xiaozhu was originally pretty and cute, and after some tinkering, her cuteness became even more gorgeous.

Xiao Zhu asked Mu Kong, "Mu Kong, do you see any difference in me today?"

Mu Kong squinted his eyes and shook his head.

Xiao Zhu was instantly furious.

Helan Xuenuo smiled and said, "Let's go."

In a flash——

The three of them appeared at the Guanyin Temple.

The Guanyin Temple is located on a small hill. To reach the top of the hill, you need to climb eight steps, and it is surrounded by lush trees.

The last staircase needs to turn before reaching the main entrance of Guanyin Temple.

This Guanyin Temple is the temple where the old princess would come to chant scriptures every August 15th. Originally, the temple was a bit dilapidated, but later it was built better and better through the old princess's offerings.

Therefore, the temple here is closed on August 15th every year. On this day, only the old princess comes here to recite scriptures with a clear mind and express gratitude to Guanyin.

The three of them were hiding in the shadows of a large tree trunk.

Xiao Zhu asked, "Miss, why haven't you come yet?"

Helan Xuenuo focused her eyes on the stairs and said, "It's almost there. There's a surprise at the foot of the mountain. It will take a while to get up."

Mu Kong didn't say a word behind him, and followed Helan Xuenuo's gaze to look towards the stairs.

She turned around and told Mu Kong what to do next. Xiao Zhu's originally relaxed face became tense after hearing this.

There was a sigh from the bottom of the stairs—

The old princess was helped out of the carriage by Aunt Cui, and many palace guards followed on both sides of the carriage.

The old princess was supported and had just stepped onto a flight of stairs when an old man who looked like a Taoist priest appeared in front of her. He was stroking his white beard with his hand, looking quite like an immortal.

A woman knelt before him. She looked at her age and knelt down, kowtowed, and cried loudly, crying, "Old Taoist priest, thank you for calculating that my father would face a life-or-death crisis at the age of fifty. My father had a headache before, but I never took it seriously. After listening to your calculation, I took him to see a famous doctor a few days ago. It turned out that my father had a blood clot in his brain, and the doctor said that if he hadn't been any later, he would have passed away. Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my father might have passed away, and our family would have been left without anyone to rely on."

After crying, the woman stood up, took out a bag of silver from her sleeve and stuffed it into the Taoist priest's hand. The Taoist priest refused and shook her hand away.

The old Taoist gestured for the woman to stop, and the woman had no choice but to take the money back. The Taoist stroked his graying beard and said calmly, "No need to thank me. I don't make a living from this. I only told your father about this that day because of a connection with him. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to interfere with your father's karma. By telling him this, I've become tainted with karma. However, this can be considered your father's reward. Your father did many good deeds in his previous life, and I was saved by him in the previous life. As the saying goes, yesterday's cause, today's result, it's all karma. No need to thank me, just go back. I just came down from the Guanyin Temple and am preparing to travel around the world. If you really want to repay me, if you meet someone in need in the future, you can use this money to help her."

The woman nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Taoist Priest. If I ever meet someone in need of help, I will definitely lend a hand. I planted the seeds, and I hope that good results will be reaped in my next life."

The old Taoist priest waved his hand and said, "Go back quickly."

The woman just left.
