Chapter 1284: Chapter 1278
"Your senses have become quite keen, indeed following that carriage."
Gui Hu said nonchalantly.
Little Xinzhuo was startled, it really was aimed at Mother!
"What should I do? Will my mother be okay? I... I shouldn’t have returned to the palace, I want to save my mother."
Little Xinzhuo flushed red.
A knock landed on his head.
"Why are you panicking? You think that guy can succeed just by catching up? You underestimate that wolf in sheep’s clothing."
Gui Hu said leisurely.
He sensed that presence too.
He was also surprised, because there was such a strong presence hidden in the Imperial Palace.
Even though it wasn’t Ghost Energy, it was similar to it.
In the Land of Human Emperor, such a formidable character was concealed.
Gui Hu also wanted to pursue and investigate further, but since the target was Shi Fei and Monk Fengxi, he didn’t want to alarm Feng Xi, so he had to give up the chance to track.
Wolf in sheep’s clothing?
Little Xinzhuo was puzzled.
After a while, Little Xinzhuo realized.
The wolf in sheep’s clothing Brother Hu mentioned couldn’t be Master Fengxi, right?
From Gui Hu’s tone, Little Xinzhuo understood that the formidable ghost probably wasn’t a match for Fengxi.
But it didn’t make sense, Monk Fengxi didn’t seem that strong.
However, what Brother Hu said must be correct.
Little Xinzhuo exhaled in relief.
"Brother Hu, do you have a grudge against Master Fengxi?"
Little Xinzhuo questioned, looking at Gui Hu.
"He is far from it."
Gui Hu’s tone grew even stranger.
"But my Sister and I quite like Master Fengxi, he looks nice and is very polite."
Little Xinzhuo muttered.
"Shut up."
Gui Hu glared at Little Xinzhuo.
The older is dim-witted, the younger is too, how could he be involved with such fools.
No, there is another fool!
He flung his sleeves angrily and vanished.
"What did I say wrong? Sister said the same thing!"
Little Xinzhuo wondered.
Achoo—
A sneeze, and the Buddha beads in Xin Lin’s hand nearly fell to the ground.
"It’s the third watch, the monk hasn’t returned, could something have happened?"
Xin Lin fidgeted with the string of seven-colored Buddhist beads.
The beads naturally belonged to Monk Fengxi, kept temporarily by Xin Lin for some reason.
Xin Lin was sitting in a nearly austere meditation room.
This was Monk Fengxi’s meditation room.
Two hours ago, as night descended, Xin Lin snuck into Taichang Temple.
Her mission here was to find Monk Fengxi.
After much persuasion, Gui Hu finally agreed to help in the Imperial Palace.
By now, things should be progressing well.
But Xin Lin hadn’t anticipated how to handle Consort Zhao after the situation with Shi Fei.
The palace was absolutely unsuitable, as she deliberated, the only safe place for Shi Fei seemed to be Taichang Temple.
Fortunately, Xin Lin knew the Empress Dowager had been worshiping at Taichang Temple these past days.
After Consort Zhao’s incident, Emperor Longteng should be more flexible.
At this moment, Shi Fei entering Taichang Temple to chant sutras and pay homage is safest.
However, Taichang Temple is not easy to access.
The Empress Dowager was able to enter Taichang Temple due to Minister of Imperial Sacrificial Worship’s permission.
For Shi Fei to enter, it also requires Minister of Imperial Sacrificial Worship’s approval.
Sadly, Xin Lin did not know the Minister, only the handsome Monk Fengxi.
Xin Lin remembered, the handsome Monk Fengxi seemed to be responsible for caring for the Minister daily. So she decided to ask Feng Xi to persuade the Minister and rescue Shi Fei!
