Every morning, there would be someone singing in the priest's hall. It was said that this was to pray for the people of Western Liang. Ye Zhen could hear the heavy and ethereal singing even in the house. She opened her eyes and the sun shone in through the window. She sat up from the bed. The maid had prepared clean water for her to wash up. After a simple wash and breakfast, she went for a walk in the courtyard.
She had to find a way to get out of this courtyard. Otherwise, how would she find a way to leave here?
This was her third day in the priest's hall. Apart from walking in this courtyard every day, she had not seen anyone except Jin Shanshan and the maid, let alone Huang Fuchen.
It seemed that she could only see Huang Fuchen when Qi Ruoshui came back.
"It seems that you are very happy." Just as she was thinking about when Qi Ruoshui would come back, Ye Zhen heard her voice.
"I can't not be happy. This place is like a prison, but the environment is better." Ye Zhen said sarcastically.
Qi Ruoshui smiled at her, "You can go anywhere you want except outside the priest's hall."
She was confident that she would never be able to escape from the priest's hall. A faint smile appeared on Ye Zhen's mouth, "The Witch King has disappeared for three days. He must have gone to find Liu Chen."
"Liu Chen was caught by Ye Chunnan." Qi Ruoshui said lightly. Her tone did not seem to be too worried about Liu Chen's safety.
Ye Zhen also guessed that Liu Chen had fallen into her brother's hands. Hearing Qi Ruoshui's words, she smiled faintly, "How does the Witch King plan to rescue Liu Chen?"
Qi Ruoshui smiled, "There is no need to rescue him. He will definitely come back."
"Do you overestimate Liu Chen or underestimate my brother?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Liu Chen has the ability to become the Left Protector of the priest's hall. If he can't even cope with this little trouble, he doesn't deserve this position." Qi Ruoshui snorted softly.
The Left Protector Liu Chen was actually a Protector of the priest's hall!
Ye Zhen knew that it was not Qi Ruoshui who overestimated Liu Chen, but she underestimated this seemingly unremarkable woman.
Someone who could be compared with Wu Ming as a Protector was certainly not a little girl who only knew martial arts.
"Your face …" Qi Ruoshui raised her eyebrows and looked at Ye Zhen's wrinkled face. "I would like to see you become ugly. You are the only woman in this world who is more beautiful than me when I was young. However, if you go to see Huang Fuchen like this, he will definitely not agree to my request."
Ye Zhen touched her face. In fact, she had a way to wash off the disguise on her face. As long as she added the spirit spring to the potion, she could restore her appearance. However, she did not do so. She was afraid that Qi Ruoshui would suspect her.
The matter of unsealing her acupoints had already made Qi Ruoshui suspicious of her. She could fool others, but Qi Ruoshui was not easy to fool.
"It doesn't matter. I think I will cherish my young and beautiful self more if I get used to such a face." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
Qi Ruoshui coldly snorted, and a pear-shaped white porcelain bottle appeared in his palm. "Go wash the things on our guest's face."
The maid took the bottle. "Yes, Shaman King."
When Ye Zhen washed off the wrinkled fake skin on her face and reappeared in front of Qi Ruoshui, it was almost evening.
"How much do you know about Huang Fuchen?" Qi Ruoshui slowly read the memorial in front of her, and Ye Zhen could only follow behind her.
"I don't understand what you mean." Ye Zhen said faintly.
Did she know about Huang Fuchen? It seemed that apart from knowing that he was the most legitimate heir of the Huangfu Dynasty, she did not know much about him. In the eyes of the world, he was a magical existence, seemingly omnipotent. The kings of all countries seemed to respect him very much.
"Do you know the existence of Ox Village?" Qi Ruoshui asked again.
"I don't know." Ye Zhen said that although the name 'Ox Village' sounded rustic, there was probably no one in the world who didn't know what kind of place it was. After Huangfu Dynasty abdicated, he disappeared from the world with countless troops and treasures. Everyone knew that they retreated to Ox Village. Unfortunately, no one knew where it was at all. Even if they found the location, there was no way to enter the village.
Qi Ruoshui smiled. "In this world, only Huangfu Chen can come and go freely in Ox Village. Only he can bring out the troops and treasures left by the Huangfu Dynasty."
"Is this what you want?" Ye Zhen looked at Qi Ruoshui's back and asked coldly.
"In fact, there is another person who knows. Unfortunately, I don't know where he is. He may be dead." Qi Ruoshui smiled. "Do you believe that a person can live more than a hundred years?"
Ye Zhen's eyebrows twitched. "Who are you talking about?"
"Jiang Shi." Qi Ruoshui said.
Uncle Jiang of the library was surprised for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. She could not let Qi Ruoshui know where Jiang Shi was now.
"Here we are." Qi Ruoshui looked back at Ye Zhen. "Huangfu Chen should be very happy to see you."
Ye Zhen's face was cold. She saw the expectation in Qi Ruoshui's eyes, so she did not want to show the idea of seeing Huangfu Chen. Moreover, she did not want to see him at all in this damned place.
They came to a courtyard near the lake. The lake was surrounded by willow trees, which made it look more secluded. In the courtyard, there was a large wisteria that had climbed all over the bamboo frame and was climbing to the pillar next to it. Beside the wisteria were bamboo chairs and a low table with a zither on it. Ye Zhen did not see Huangfu Chen.
"A Chen." Qi Ruoshui called out to the closed door.
The door was closed, and there was no intention of opening it.
"I brought an acquaintance to see you. You should be very eager to see her." Qi Ruoshui evoked a meaningful smile. "In order to bring her to see you, I went to the Jin Kingdom. It took me a lot of effort to bring her back. Do you really not want to see her?"
There was still no sound from the room.
Qi Ruoshui frowned slightly. "A Chen?"
Ye Zhen chuckled. "It seems that you don't know him well enough."
"A Chen, if you don't open the door, then I will go in." Qi Ruoshui said. She was still very afraid of Huangfu Chen, so she had always regarded him as a distinguished guest. If even Lu Yaoyao could not make him change his mind, what else could she do?
There was still no movement in the room. Qi Ruoshui's eyes flashed with annoyance. She reached out to push the door open.
"Yaoyao …" Suddenly, a clear and gentle voice came from behind.
Ye Zhen froze and looked back abruptly. In her memory, the man with a jade-like face stood beside the wisteria. He looked at her in shock, as if she was the only one left in the world.
"Master!" Ye Zhen smiled.
When Qi Ruoshui saw Huangfu Chen's reaction, she knew that it was right to bring Lu Yaoyao to the priest hall.
Huangfu Chen would definitely nod and agree to her request for her sake.
