Xie Xuanzhi frowned slightly and looked at Shi Wanwan.

Gu Daoyuan knew what he was worried about when he saw this scene, so he said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The princess is of noble status, and no one dares to embarrass her."

"Besides, the princess is so powerful that she encountered an opponent much stronger than herself, not only was she fine, she even defeated the opponent."

"With her abilities, no one in the entire Tianyiguan Temple can rival her."

"I lost to the princess today and I am too embarrassed to stay in Tianyi Temple any longer. I will pack up and leave the capital soon."

"If Your Majesty wants to know what happened back then, this is your only chance."

"Whether Your Majesty wishes to come or not is entirely up to you."

When Shi Wanwan heard this, she knew that Xie Xuanzhi and Gu Daoyuan were somewhat involved.

Xie Xuanzhi came a little late on the day she was assassinated. Although she didn't ask, after hearing their conversation, she guessed that Xie Xuanzhi was tripped by Gu Daoyuan that day.

What Gu Daoyuan wants to say should be very important to Xie Xuanzhi.

She then said, "Your Highness, go ahead. I'm safe with Shen Yi and Tian Huaijue here."

Xie Xuanzhi knew her abilities. Since they were both in the Taoist temple, he could rush over quickly even if she was in danger.

He then said, "Then be careful."

Tian Huaijue chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm with my aunt and will never let anyone hurt her."

He almost said that it didn't matter whether Xie Xuanzhi was there or not, but before he could say anything, Xie Xuanzhi glared at him, so he swallowed the words back. He was afraid of being beaten to death.

Shen Yi said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will protect the princess well."

Xie Xuanzhi: "..."

He was worried because of the two of them.

Shi Wanwan said obediently, "Yes, I will be careful!"

Xie Xuanzhi looked at these three people and always felt that if the three of them got together, things that were originally not dangerous would become extremely dangerous.

Putting aside other things, he is far behind the three of them in their ability to attract hatred.

Gu Daoyuan was very difficult to deal with. Xie Xuanzhi had tried many ways to get him to speak, but he hadn't said anything before.

Since he is willing to say it today, Xie Xuanzhi cannot miss it.

He then said, "Wait here for me. I'll be back soon."

Shi Wanwan nodded obediently: "I'll be waiting for you at the mountain gate."

Xie Xuanzhi knew that she had offended many people in the temple, and it would be more appropriate for her to wait for him at the mountain gate, so he agreed.

After he left, Shi Wanwan saw the abbot looking at her with a dark face, so she said, "Abbot, why don't we have a bet too?"

The abbot thought she was willing to accept his challenge, so he asked, "What's the bet?"

Shi Wanwan replied, "There's a nest of ants over there. Let's try to figure out whether they are even or odd."

Viewer: "..."

He was so angry that he turned around and left.

Shi Wanwan turned to Shen Yi with an innocent look on her face and said, "Isn't he someone who can't afford to lose?"

Shen Yi smiled and said, "Yi thinks so too."

After all, no one is so bored as to squat on the ground and count a nest of ants.

Shi Wanwan shook her head and was about to leave when a Taoist priest stood in front of her and said, "I'd like to make a bet with the princess."

Shi Wanwan looked him over and said, "Your status is too low to gamble with me. Wait until you become the abbot, then come and gamble with me."

The Taoist priest: "..."

What she said was almost the same as what she had said to the master before.

The Taoist priest didn't understand Shi Wanwan's tactics, but Shen Yi did:

Shi Wanwan had no intention of gambling with the people in the temple anymore. She was just bored and saw the temple master glaring at her, so she deliberately made trouble for him.

Given her personality, it's impossible for her to just squat there and count ants.

There was nothing exciting to watch here, and no one was inciting. The crowd gradually dispersed after being persuaded by the Taoists.

Shi Wanwan knew that she had offended many people in the Taoist temple. Her goal for today had been achieved, so she walked down the mountain happily.

The mountain path is beautiful, the scenery is superb, the stream is gurgling, and the wild flowers are blooming.

Shi Wanwan soon discovered something was wrong. The people who had been walking in front of them were now gone.

They unknowingly walked to a quiet place where there was no one around.

Shi Wanwan felt a little familiar with this scene. She stopped Shen Yi who was continuing to walk forward and said, "Wait a moment."

Shen Yi asked: "What's wrong?"

Before Shi Wanwan could say anything, Tian Huaijue said, "This is not the right place."

"Aunt, this formation is similar to the one we encountered last time in the Imperial College."

A male voice came from not far away: "The princess was able to defeat our leader. I think she is proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia. I have come here to learn from her!"

It was the master's voice, but they couldn't see anyone.

Shi Wanwan frowned and asked, "Are you trying to force a contest with me, Master?"

The abbot said loudly, "My princess, you have come to the Taoist sect today to provoke me. If you can defeat the sect leader with your true ability, I will naturally be convinced."

"But the princess's victory today was too opportunistic. I am not convinced, so I naturally want to ask the princess for some advice."

"This formation is a trap. If you can break it within three days, I will be defeated."

Gu Daoyuan is best at fortune-telling, while the master of the temple is good at setting up battle formations.

His ability in setting up formations was no worse than Gu Daoyuan's. In the past, when Gu Daoyuan was too busy to go to the Imperial College for classes, he would do it for him.

Shi Wanwan said coldly, "This princess has not accepted your challenge."

They walked down with the crowd, but were still able to get separated from others. This was enough to show that the master of the temple was very good at setting up the formation.

They walked all the way here without noticing that they had unknowingly entered the formation.

The temple master said loudly, "My princess, you defeated the sect leader using the rules of the martial arts world. The moment you defeated the sect leader, you must accept our challenge. This is also the rule."

"Even if the princess disagrees, you can still use our method to challenge her. Even if this matter is brought to His Majesty, he won't be able to find fault with me... Alas!"

Before he could finish his words, a stone was thrown in his direction.

The abbot dodged to the side, and the next moment Tian Huaijue slashed towards him with a sharp blade in his hand.

The experience of being trapped in the formation last time told him that in this situation, they, who were novices in formation, could not compare with such masters at all.

So at this time, what they have to do is to capture the leader first.

The abbot cursed and turned to run away.

This formation was his home ground. He turned around and jumped, quickly disappearing into the woods.

No matter how fast Tian Huaijue ran, he couldn't catch up. On the contrary, the master of the temple was activating the formation, and he felt something was wrong after taking a few steps.

So he failed to catch up with the abbot and could not return to Shi Wanwan.

He was very anxious and shouted, "Auntie!"

He was so anxious that he was jumping up and down. Now that they were separated like this, he didn't know how difficult it would be for those stinky Taoist priests in Tianyi Temple.

She only has the evil-minded Shen Yi by her side, and I'm afraid he can't protect her!
