Chapter 938: Lending a Helping Hand

3 nuclei.Hawk Wing and Hawk Hound, upon hearing this, were also moved. The two acted swiftly to grab the mission."Ripple Sister, this time we have the opportunity to go to the Capital Base, it's great..."You're very kind, Miss."

Grandma Sun took the gold bracelet, her mouth twitched, and went to add joss paper and incense. As for who the eternal lamp was offered to, she didn't need to ask at all.

Lian Ri, accompanied by three maidservants, Cherry, Tao, and Waitress, returned to the women's quarters. After Granny Sun came back, she set up a table of vegetarian dishes. This is considered one of the highlights of Guoshi Temple. After all, they donated so much oil money; they could afford at least one meal.

After the group finished their meal, they rested early. They were exhausted from climbing the mountain during the day and practically fell asleep as soon as they lay down on their pillows.

Cherry, who was sleeping on a small bed in the ripple house, soon fell asleep as well.

"Master, I'm back."

Duo Duo arrived beside Lian Yi and transmitted a message.

Ripple opened her eyes and directly inserted the flowers into her own hair bun. Then she sat up from the bed.

How is the surrounding environment

"There is a vein of spirit stones in the mountain range where this Guochu Temple is located. It's just that the grade is a bit low, belonging to the inferior kind, barely enough to allow you to cultivate to the foundation-building stage."

Duo Duo replied immediately.

"A person shouldn't be too greedy. This Guoshi Temple is connected to the fate of Dahuang Dynasty, and things can't be done too harshly. I can only stay here for three days at most. I'll see how much my cultivation level can improve during that time. As long as I can handle the power struggles back home, it's enough."

"Follow me, master. There is a place here very suitable for cultivation."

Dodo immediately said.

"How far away"

Just on the bodhi tree in the backyard.

R ripples nodded in satisfaction, gathered her clothes and tucked them into the bed, pretending to be asleep, then quietly left her yard.

Under Dodo's guidance, she lightly tapped her toes onto the top of the Bodhi tree and then sat cross-legged on the branches, beginning to absorb the spiritual energy scattered around her.

In the dead of night, ripples' cultivation was going very smoothly. Just as she was about to breakthrough to the fourth level of Qi Refinement, she heard a piercing sound, followed by the sound of a blade piercing flesh.

"Master, there's a hot pot to see!"

Duo Duo reminded everyone immediately.

The ripples immediately retracted, and she opened her eyes. Looking into the darkness, she had now entered the ranks of cultivators, so her five senses were much more acute than ordinary people's. She immediately saw what was happening outside the courtyard wall.

Three people were under attack. The commotion just now was because one of the three was killed by a slash, and the other protected the remaining person and retreated towards the wall of the Guoshi Temple.

Obviously, the person being protected was important, so the two subordinates would fight to the death to protect him. However, there were simply too many men in black, a full ten of them, and each one was ruthless, striking with deadly force, as if they were out to silence him completely.

Ripple didn't want to get involved in these matters. After all, her task was only to fulfill the original's wishes, and it was best not to change other people's fates because of her.

"Ripple, you better save the one being attacked. It will help you complete your mission."

The stone mill suddenly made a sound.

What is his identity

"The eldest prince of the Great Huan Dynasty."

"The eldest prince Isn't he still the Crown Prince"

> It's just a title, and Ripple found the crux of the matter.

He was about to be crowned the crown prince, as long as he got through tonight.

"Got it, he's blocking others' way."

The struggle for power is more brutal than they imagined.

"Ouch! You better make your move, the last guard is down."

The stone mortar immediately reminded.

Ripple leaped from the bodhi tree, floating gently and landing on the red wall of Huaguo Temple. Then, with a flick of her wrist, her life-taking silk intercepted the fatal blow meant for the Crown Prince.

The assassins surrounding the crown prince were startled. The Death Silk was transparent and left no trace in the darkness, making them think that the crown prince was protected by something unknown.

The eldest prince was wounded by two blades, though not fatally. He bled profusely, causing his movements to become sluggish. He saw no way out, yet the blade raised against him hovered above his head, unable to fall.

He immediately gritted his teeth and kicked out, sending the assassin flying backward. At the same time, he used the momentum of the kick to recoil, his body just barely reaching the wall of the Temple of the Nation's Protection.

"Amitabha Buddha, in this pure land of Buddhism, how can you commit such wicked acts! Quickly lay down your swords, the Buddha himself will save you. Otherwise, you will only fall into hell!"

Liàn Yī wore a white robe, stood on the wall, and pretended to address the ten assassins.

Since she wanted to save people, she should have made her identity known. Such a great kindness, the Crown Prince must remember it in his heart. It's just that she was inconvenient to show her face, but exposing her voice and figure was still okay.

The assassins discovered that it was the ripples who caused the disturbance, and they weren't afraid anymore. After all, their mission was to kill the crown prince. Although this woman accidentally stumbled upon their operation, she was now on their extermination list.

At the death trooper's command, the remaining troops split in two. One half attacked Ripples, while the other attacked the crown prince.

Ripple had heard the chanting monks of the night value coming this way, so she turned her wrist, splitting the Deadly Silk into ten strands. In an instant, they plunged into the hearts of the ten men's brows. Within just two breaths of time, Ripple had turned the tide of the battle, and the ten men fell silently to the ground.

Immediately, ripples used a deadly silk thread to ensnare the Crown Prince, pulling him from outside the wall into the courtyard and placing him in the path of the monk on duty. Then she had accomplished her mission and withdrew.

Before he fainted, the eldest prince only saw a graceful white figure. He knew he was safe and fell into a deep coma.

Liàn yī returned to her own room and took a nap before being woken up by Cherry. After washing up and getting dressed, she was eating congee when she heard a commotion outside the courtyard.

"Grandma Sun, go see what happened"

Yes, Miss!

Grandmother Sun immediately replied.

Her sleep was light, and in the latter half of the night, she sensed something was amiss at the Guó Temple. Many people had arrived, and they weren't trying to be quiet. She woke up immediately and has been listening ever since; she instinctively felt that something wasn't right.

After leisurely finishing her porridge, Lián Yī waited patiently for Sun's grandmother's reply.

After about a stick of incense, Granny Sun hurried back and immediately saw Ripples:

"Miss, something happened at Guoguo Temple last night."

"What's wrong"

"There was a murder, apparently someone from the royal family was injured but saved by Abbot Huiyuan. Right now, people are searching around the Guó Temple."

Grandma Sun frowned.

"Huh Well then, perhaps we should head back to the Marquis' Manor early"

Lianshan immediately feigned bewilderment.

"Miss, we haven't finished searching the mountain yet. We can't leave Guoguo Temple. What if we are mistaken for the murderers"

Grandma Sun also wants to go back, but she's afraid of being implicated. After all, it involves the royal family. What if they can't find the culprit What if they just find anyone to be a scapegoat Although they are womenfolk, what if...

Then I'll just stay in my chambers these two days and not go out. You tell everyone to keep a low profile.

With a slight furrow in her brow, Ripple spoke, clutching a handkerchief.

Yes, Miss!

The other side's eldest prince finally woke up. Seeing Huiyuan presiding over, his first words were:

Master Huiyuan, do your temple have nuns who shave their heads and practiceeveral times to get it."Ripples hung a displeased expression on his face, without the slightest attempt to conceal it."Have you and Eileen, the department head, had a falling out""It's not about celeb...
