Prince Li paced back and forth anxiously for a few steps. He rushed out the door and couldn't help but yell, "Where's Zhan Yan? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

He was really angry. All his heartache for Lin Yiwan turned into anger towards Zhan Yan.

You little rascal, you said you would always be by my side, but now I can't find you, how can you be my husband?

At this time, Prince Li exuded a terrifying cold aura. Zi'er did not dare to step forward and explain to him that Huangshan had sent Zhan Yan to the Buddhist temple to capture the remnants of the previous dynasty. She could only secretly instruct a guard to run to the Buddhist temple to report to Zhan Yan and ask him to come back no matter what.

Otherwise, given King Li's anger, he might not want him as his daughter and son-in-law.

At this time, the Buddhist temple in the suburbs of Beijing was shrouded in darkness. Zhan Yan led his men to the courtyard in the back mountain and immediately rushed over.

An old man in monk's robes fled in panic. He ran so fast that he looked like a shadow.

Zhan Yan and his men pursued him relentlessly, and when they reached the cliff, he had no way to escape.

He turned to look at everyone, his gray eyes filled with disdain and ridicule.

He sneered, "Zhan Yan, I didn't expect you to still be Emperor Sheng'an's lackey. You have so many lives on your hands. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Zhan Yan replied coldly, "When the Qiu family was in power, they were tyrannical and cruel. The people of the capital suffered terribly. Zhan Yan killed them without any guilt. Regardless of whether you are a true remnant of the previous dynasty or not, tonight will be your death!"

The man burst into laughter. "You're too confident, Zhan Yan's lackey! I'd rather kill myself than fall into your hands!"

Without saying a word, he turned around and jumped off the cliff.

Zhan Yan shouted angrily: "If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body!"

He jumped down first and fell into a cave.

He walked quickly into the cave, and the view in front of him suddenly opened up.

He was on guard and turned around to look around.

The fragrance of exotic flowers and plants filled his nose. He never expected that there was such a beautiful place on the cliffs behind the Buddhist temple.

At the moment when he lost consciousness, the old man in white who had disappeared came stabbing at him fiercely with a long sword in his hand: "Zhan Yan, you will die!"

Zhan Yan quickly retreated and kicked him to the ground.

Soon after, many more people appeared and started fighting with him.

Zhan Yan didn't dare to fight any longer, as he knew that he had entered the Qiu family's lair.

He fought and retreated, and soon returned to the cave.

In a flash, a sharp dagger mixed with coldness pierced directly into his throat.

Zhan Yan just wanted to dodge, but a figure blocked his way faster: "No, don't kill him!"

"Puchi!" The long sword pierced through her entire thin body, and blood instantly dyed her gray-white monk robe red.

With the help of moonlight, Zhan Yan could see the woman's appearance clearly.

She was wearing a monk's robe, her black hair flowed like a waterfall, and she was extremely beautiful.

He immediately wondered why a woman appeared inexplicably in this dangerous place?

However, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he immediately held her arm with one hand and asked, "Girl, how are you?"

The woman's eyes were like smoke and mist, especially her slightly furrowed brows, which made people want to hold her in their arms and comfort her carefully.

However, Zhan Yan remained unmoved. He simply asked again, "Girl?"

She then replied uneasily: "My wound hurts so much!"

When she spoke, her voice was sweet and sticky, and it was simply alluring and captivating.

Zhan Yan frowned and said, "Don't worry, young lady, I will definitely get you out!"

The woman was very weak because of her injuries, but Zhan Yan seemed not to notice and just turned around and walked out.

She gritted her teeth and tears welled up in her eyes.

She trembled and whispered, "I can't walk anymore, and you won't even support me?"

Zhan Yan reacted belatedly. He was stunned for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I'm already married. I promised my wife that I would never have any contact with any other woman except her. If you can't leave, then wait a moment. I'll go to the Buddhist temple to ask a doctor to come over!"

The woman's eyes widened in shock, she even forgot to cry.

She asked in disbelief, "Are you going to leave me alone in this cave?"

Zhan Yan asked doubtfully: "Wasn't the girl alone before?"

The woman endured the pain and explained, "I'm a Buddhist nun practicing in a Buddhist temple. Since I know a little about pharmacology, I often come to this cliff to collect herbs. This cave is my temporary residence!"

Zhan Yan immediately understood that she was explaining to him why she suddenly appeared in the cave.

So what?

He still couldn't have any contact with her!

The woman noticed his hesitation and secretly thought that she should add some more explosive information.

She raised her hand and pressed the wound hard, and blood gushed out again.

She spoke weakly: "Master, I'm bleeding again, please save me, please save me!"

While Zhan Yan was hesitating, Ying Yi had already brought people over to support him.

He immediately ordered: "Yingyi, take this injured girl to the Buddhist temple!"

The woman never expected that Zhan Yan would push her onto someone else, even though she was the one who was injured for him.

But in order not to arouse his suspicion, I could only endure the grievance.

Yingyi carried her into the Buddhist temple, and Zhan Yan asked the doctor to treat her wounds as soon as possible.

The doctor said with a complicated expression, "My lord, Miss Chan'er is seriously injured. I am powerless to help her. You should seek help from someone else."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out quickly.

Zhan Yan's face was cold and ugly. He searched around the Buddhist temple for a long time, but could not find any trace of the white-haired old man. He didn't know where he had hidden.

At this time, the abbot of the Buddhist temple walked in quickly and said worriedly, "Marquis Zhan Yi, I heard that Miss Chan'er was injured and unconscious?"

Zhan Yan looked at him warily: "How do you know?"

The abbot bowed respectfully and said, "I heard someone report that this girl has a pitiful life. I beg Lord Zhan Yi not to stand by and watch her die!"

By this time, Chan'er had regained consciousness. She sobbed tremblingly, "Abbot, he must save me, because I was injured so badly because I was trying to block his sword!"

The abbot was utterly shocked. "You actually blocked the sword for Zhan Yihou? Then he can't stay out of this!"

Zhan Yan finally understood that the abbot wanted him to bring this Buddhist girl back to Zhan Yihou's mansion.

I’m afraid her identity is not simple!

In that case, let’s fulfill her wish!

Put her right under your nose to catch the big fish and see what tricks she is trying to play!

Just as he was lost in thought, Ying Yi hurried in and said, "My Lord, the Madam has gone into labor and is now leaving the palace to give birth!"

Zhan Yan's whole body was in shock. How could he continue to stay in the Buddhist temple?

The sky is big and the earth is big, but none of them is bigger than his Wanwan!

Without further hesitation, he turned around and was about to leave.

The Buddhist girl almost immediately grabbed the edge of his clothes and pleaded feebly, "Sir, are you planning to abandon Chan'er and leave him alone?"
