Chapter 610: High Efficiency

"I was too tired last night and didn't have time to ask, Miss Kong Que, why were you targeted by an assassin?" Meng Jingzhou was chivalrous and righteous, seeing justice and acting upon it.

Kong Que pondered for a moment; the three had saved her life last night, so they were trustworthy, and telling them wouldn't hurt: "It's inconvenient to talk here, how about we go back to the room?"

Three men and two women, the five of them came to Kong Que's room.

Kong Que poured tea for the four, set down the teapot, and said slowly: "This matter starts from when Master left the Daoist temple."

"The Daoist temple Master presided over was called the Shanhe Temple; there were only Master and me in the temple."

"Master incurred many romantic debts when he was young and was often sought out by lovers. As time passed, Master saw that my cultivation had achieved success and I could protect myself, so he left the temple under the name of wandering the world to avoid debts."

"Learning that Master had left, the number of times those lovers came to the temple to look for Master decreased significantly. The temple was cold and desolate, with only me left."

"Suddenly one day, while I was meditating in the room, I heard a loud noise in the courtyard. I ran out to see, and it was a blood-stained man who had crashed into the courtyard."

"The man looked handsome, but he was heavily injured, his clothes soaked in blood."

"I wasn't sure if he was bluffing or what, but I always felt his speech carried an evil aura, and I was terrified, so I packed my bags overnight, thinking that if I came to a prosperous city, the assassins sent by the man wouldn't dare to come looking for me."

"That's how I came to Chunjiang City, and it was also here that I met my sister and the three young heroes."

"After the man woke up, he was taciturn, didn't even say thank you, and even lingered in the temple without leaving. I couldn't just throw him out, so I could only let him stay in the temple."

"The man curled his lips into a cold smile, saying that from childhood to adulthood, no one had dared to refuse his orders, and I was the first. He also said that anyone he took a fancy to would either become his person or become a dead person. If I didn't follow him, he would send endless assassins to hunt me down, and then he left."

"The man slept for about a week; I don't know what cultivation technique he practiced, but his wounds gradually healed."

"This is the second time I've received grace from the Buddha Sect." Kong Que smiled very happily.

"Na, Nascent Soul stage?"

"Second time?"

"Amitabha, so that's how it is."

Kong Que was dumbfounded; how many spirit stones must this be worth? Even if she were sold, she couldn't afford such expensive things.

"Another month passed, the man's injuries were fully healed, and suddenly he grabbed my wrist, saying he had taken a fancy to me and hoped I could go with him."

"Then many thanks to the Master."

Shi Chan took a string of sandalwood Buddha beads from his sleeve and gave them to Kong Que: "These Buddha beads, blessed by my vow power, can withstand an attack from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator for a quarter of an hour. At the same time, I will also have a sense of it. Please accept them, Benefactor Kong Que, to ensure your safety."

Shi Chan smiled slightly and stuffed them into Kong Que's hand: "The Buddha has said, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I will naturally have my rewards, no need for you to pay anything, Benefactor. I only hope you will not do evil deeds in the future and do more good deeds, that will count as repaying me."

"Don't worry, Miss Kong Que, with us here, no assassin can hurt you!"

"I couldn't care about thinking too much, I carried the man into the room, cut open his clothes, and treated his wounds."

"I, I can't afford it."

Kong Que treated them like a precious treasure, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and carefully tucked them into her bosom.

"It seems last night's assassin was the first, and there will be more assassins assassinating Benefactor Kong Que in the future."

"I don't even know his name or identity, and his attitude was very tough, grabbing my wrist so it hurt. After I broke free, I refused immediately."

"So arrogant?" Meng Jingzhou raised his eyebrows; he was the dignified Saint Son of the Heavenly Court Sect, and even the loafer young Sect Leader beside him wasn't like that.

"The first time was a story Mother told us, before we sisters were born. I was separated from my family when I was very young, so my memory isn't deep."

"Sister, you should remember more clearly than me, right?"

Fuling gave a soft 'en' and said: "At first, Father and Mother couldn't conceive a child for a long time. They accidentally heard that a high monk at Gulin Temple was good at praying for children, so Mother went to Gulin Temple and found that high monk, named Master Yuxin."

"After returning, Mother indeed became pregnant."

"Mother often said that the birth of the two of us was the grace of the Buddha Sect, a blessing from the Buddha, and that we should do good deeds in the future to repay the Buddha's grace for descending into the world."

"After Sister was lost, Mother also went to Gulin Temple to look for Master Yuxin, but unfortunately, Master Yuxin had already passed away by then."

Lu Yang's expression was strange. Master Yuxin's method of praying for children was so effective, was it a proper method?

Lu Yang turned his head and asked Shi Chan: "Have you heard of Gulin Temple and Master Yuxin?"

Shi Chan shook his head gently: "There are so many temples in the world, I cannot know all of them. As for Master Yuxin, I have never heard of him either. Perhaps he was a high monk who lived in seclusion among the people."

Bang, bang, bang.

Kong Que's door was knocked.

"Is Miss Kong Que in?"

Kong Que immediately became vigilant, staring fixedly at the door, a rich sense of crisis lingering in her heart.

"Who is it?"

"From the government office."

Kong Que was puzzled and became even more vigilant. What did the people from the government office want with her? When she reported the case last night, she had already confessed everything she could.

Lu Yang frowned. He used his spiritual sense to observe that it was indeed a constable outside the door, at least they were wearing constable uniforms.

And their cultivation wasn't low, they were at the Jin Dan stage, and there was a faint smell of blood on them; clearly, they had just killed someone.

Lu Yang gave a wink, signaling that with them here, it was fine, just open the door.

Kong Que opened the door with courage; it was three strange constables.

The constables were also surprised to see three men and two women in Miss Kong Que's room.

Why were there so many people?

"Which of you two is Miss Kong Que?"

The leading constable couldn't distinguish between Fuling and Kong Que; if he recognized the wrong person, it would be a joke.

"I am, may I ask what is the matter?" Miss Kong Que said lightly.

"It involves Miss Kong Que's privacy, please come out for a moment, Miss Kong Que."

Kong Que became even more vigilant and shook her head firmly: "Everyone here is trustworthy, just say it here."

The leading constable hesitated for a moment and chose to respect Kong Que's opinion.

"It's like this, based on the reason you were targeted by the assassin that you confessed when reporting the case last night, as well as the employer confessed by the assassin, we reported this situation overnight and have locked onto the man who wanted to kill you based on these clues."

"The Provincial Governor believes this is a major tumor and demands we act immediately."

"Just now, under the joint action of various cities, we took down the man's stronghold and arrested him. Three Spirit Transformation stage cultivators and fifteen Nascent Soul stage cultivators participated in this operation, and I am one of them."

"We want to confirm with Miss Kong Que, is this the person?"

As he spoke, the constable took a piece of paper from his bosom. The man on the paper had a handsome appearance and carried a bit of evil aura.

Kong Que: "..."

Your government office's efficiency is quite high. ===== CHAPTER 611 =====
