Looking at Wang Junze’s earnest expression, Su Yuwei felt a kind of indescribable emotion welling up in her heart.
There was no need for sweet nothings; every action Wang Junze had taken on this journey was a testant to his promises, which inevitably touched her deeply.
Her mouth opened slightly; Su Yuwei wanted to say sothing, but ultimately, she did not respond. Instead, she slowly stood up and softly said, "I’m leaving. Take care of yourself."
Without waiting for Wang Junze’s reply, Su Yuwei quickly walked out.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to stay longer, but she dared not remain. Her emotions were about to overwhelm her, and if she stayed any longer, she feared she wouldn’t be able to leave.
Moreover, for the matters that followed, she wouldn’t have been able to assist anyway; all her emotions could only be encapsulated in the words ’take care’.
Not long after, Wang Junze returned to the private room in Fan Building.
Wang Xin and Peng Ru had been staying there all along, feeling sowhat anxious, but seeing Wang Junze return safely put them at ease.
"Master, soone ca to deliver a na invitation earlier, but I sent them back."
As she spoke, Peng Ru handed a na card to Wang Junze.
With so surprise, he took it and after a glance, Wang Junze imdiately understood the sender’s identity.
Prince Duan!
Back in Licheng, Wang Junze had encountered the Money Rat, who had solicited him on behalf of Prince Duan once, but Wang Junze had refused.
Now, Prince Duan was once again sending a na invitation. The intent was obvious without explanation.
However, the timing chosen by the other side was indeed quite interesting.
If one did not ntion the matter regarding Eldest Princess Ningyu, then undoubtedly, Wang Junze was at his lowest point since entering the Capital City. The reward for killing Dugu Feng had already been fulfilled, yet it did not elevate Wang Junze’s position within the Judgnt Departnt at all; it even felt as though he was being deliberately sidelined.
Besides the Judgnt Departnt, Wang Junze had no foundation in the Capital City, and the only slight connection to the Changling Prince’s Mansion had not shown any reaction, making it clear they were keeping their distance from him.
Yet, in such circumstance, Prince Duan resolutely sent the na invitation again, making it all the more intriguing.
"The ti is set for tonight. Master... are you going?"
Looking at Wang Junze, Peng Ru asked again.
"No!"
Without even thinking, Wang Junze refused outright.
Regarding Prince Duan, it wasn’t that Wang Junze had no interest at all. If he could get Prince Duan and Prince Yu to confront each other, it would undoubtedly be the best outco for him.
If the opportunity arose, Wang Junze wouldn’t mind talking with Prince Duan, but now was not the ti.
Because many matters still needed to be kept secret, Wang Junze had no cards to play. In this situation, eting Prince Duan would put them on unfair footing.
Moreover, simply looking at the invitation ti on that na card, it was clear Prince Duan did not regard Wang Junze highly.
A sincere invitation wouldn’t be delivered on the sa day; it would be sent in advance.
Furthermore, for Wang Junze, remaining low-key and avoiding attracting attention was the best choice; there was no need to disrupt his plans over an invitation from Prince Duan.
...
Eldest Princess Ningyu acted swiftly and with authority, retrieving the Creation Golden Lotus from the Imperial Palace Treasure Vault in just three days.
To others, a treasure that could drive people mad was rely a trivial task for Eldest Princess Ningyu, barely warranting a ntion.
Subsequently, Eldest Princess Ningyu once again used the pretext of offering incense to visit Lingyin Temple.
This ti, she went directly to the abbot of Lingyin Temple.
"Within an incense stick’s ti, I must et with Master Benyin, or else... there will be no Lingyin Temple in the Capital City from now on!"
Eldest Princess Ningyu had been offering incense in Lingyin Temple for many years, and was quite familiar with the abbot, but he never expected to hear such domineering words from the Princess.
The abbot was well aware that the Princess’s gentle exterior concealed a steely resolve, and once she made a decision, no one could change her mind.
Complying with her demand might preserve so goodwill, but refusal... being expelled from the Capital would already be a fortunate outco.
The abbot dared not even make excuses or defend, promptly and genuinely went to fetch the Divine Monk Benyin.
anwhile, Wang Junze arrived at Lingyin Temple again, entering the sa side hall as before.
"Is this benefactor here to seek a divination?"
Seeing Wang Junze, the welcoming monk nearby hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Indeed, I asked for one last ti but it wasn’t accurate, so... I’m here to ask again."
With a faint smile on his face, Wang Junze replied softly.
In fact, the mont Wang Junze stepped into the side hall, he spotted the old monk who had given him the divination last ti. Coupled with the Director’s words, he had already ford a judgnt in his mind.
"Amitabha Buddha!"
With hands folded in prayer, the old monk softly chanted a Buddhist scripture, sighed, and only then slowly spoke: "This humble monk is Benyin, greetings to Wang Tanyue."
The unfolding events within Lingyin Temple had not escaped the Divine Monk of Xuankong Temple; in fact, the abbot didn’t even need to invite him, he already knew of the happenings at the main hall and, observing Wang Junze’s reactions, naturally understood that he had been exposed.
So indeed, this old monk was the Divine Monk Benyin!
Wang Junze couldn’t help but feel a wave of admiration; it was only because the Director uncovered his identity that Wang Junze then beca aware, otherwise he could never have associated this seemingly unremarkable old monk with the Divine Monk of Xuankong Temple.
Undoubtedly, the cultivation of Divine Monk Benyin might well be at the pinnacle even within the Saint Realm.
"Greetings, Master Benyin!"
With a slight bow, Wang Junze returned the courtesy.
"Amitabha Buddha, let us go! Follow to et the Eldest Princess, and thus resolve this karma."
With hands folded again, Divine Monk Benyin spoke once more.
Without any visible action, he simply gestured invitingly, and Wang Junze imdiately felt as though he was being extricated from reality. Though there were many others around, it seed no one was aware of his presence.
The sensation was peculiar and left Wang Junze incredibly astounded.
How was this done?
This certainly wasn’t so special space; the surroundings and the people remained unchanged. Yet, sohow Wang Junze could distinctly feel himself being separated from others.
"There’s no need for surprise, benefactor. This is rely a temporary thod to sever karma,"
Shaking his head, Divine Monk Benyin gently explained, "Thus, we need not worry about others overhearing our conversation. This benefits all of us."
