Qin Gentian's mouth twitched, and he gave him a hard look, "Shut up!"

As she spoke, she wanted to pull out her hand to continue checking, but she didn't want Gu Jiuxiao to still hold her hand tightly and refused to let go.

He was already gnashing his teeth in pain, but at this moment, enduring the burning pain, he forced a smile and said, "Princess... think about it clearly, if you really do anything to this king's... this king's body, you will be responsible."

Qin Gentiana was a little impatient to deal with his nonsense, and directly summoned the thin palm vines to tie his hands tightly.

"you… "

Qin Gentiana smiled brightly at him, carefully pulled out the crossbow arrows on his back, repaired the wound on his back with supernatural powers, immediately laid him flat on the ground rudely, and raised his hand to press his heart.

Gu Jiuxiao's expression changed suddenly, "Be careful!"

But the change he expected did not happen.

The moment the flame that was raging madly in his heart was pressed by Gentiana Qin's hand, he suddenly became quiet.

A strong warm current flowed from his heart, the flame seemed to be very fond of it, and swam happily and intoxicated, and the sharp flame tip kissed Qin Gentiana's fingertips flatteringly.

Gu Jiuxiao was startled, the expression on his face was a little blank.

Qin Gentian knelt beside him, lowered her eyes and asked him, "How does it feel?"

Gu Jiuxiao looked at her in a daze, "It doesn't hurt anymore... Yes, it's a bit strange..."

Qin Gentiana frowned slightly, she withdrew her hand, and raised her hand to touch the empty neck. Since the relic was shattered and broken apart, there was no trace of the relic except the one that fell into Gu Jiuxiao's heart.

And she has always been brooding about the situation where she was dominated by hostility just now.

The doubts in her heart grew deeper, she raised her hand and retracted the fine vine, without looking at Gu Jiuxiao's lost eyes for a while, she slowly stood up.

"It seems that we have to go to Kaiyuan Temple."

The relic was given by the old monk of Kaiyuan Temple who passed away. Only the people of Kaiyuan Temple should be able to answer this strange point.

But she remembered that day when the relic was hot, she visited Kaiyuan Temple at night and found that the temple was empty, which always made her feel a little panicked.

Gu Jiuxiao lay on the ground for a few more breaths before slowly getting up.

"If it's not necessary, it's better for the concubine to have less contact with the great monks of Kaiyuan Temple." He slowly covered his clothes, and the vitality that Qin Gentiana sent to his heart just now not only calmed the flames, but also eased the hidden wounds in his body. He was more comfortable than ever before.

Qin Gentian was taken aback, then turned to look at him, "Why?"

Gu Jiuxiao hesitated for a moment, frowned slightly, and said softly, "Do you know that the emperor's grandfather has been waiting for the person who gave him orchids for nearly twenty years?"

"A person from Kaiyuan Temple?"

Gu Jiuxiao sneered, "It's not, but it's close."

He turned to look at her with deep eyes, "Those great monks have lost sight of her for life. The emperor's grandfather ordered people to search the mountains, rivers, seas, and the ends of the earth. That person seemed to have evaporated from the world."

Qin Gentiana frowned slightly when he heard this, but for some reason, his heart suddenly started beating wildly.

"In comparison, those monks are more like evil means." Gu Jiuxiao's tall and straight body was as straight as a gun, and he snorted disdainfully, then turned sideways to look at Qin Gentian, and said softly, "Compared with them, Wang Hao's means can't be more normal."

When he saw it, he opened his eyes and was talking nonsense.

Qin Yu couldn't help laughing out loud.

She raised her hand to cover the slightly raised corners of her lips, and looked at him with a faint smile, "Thank you, the lord, you can see it, but it sounds like this, so I have to go to Kaiyuan Temple."

Gu Jiuxiao couldn't help feeling helpless, "If the princess wants to go, then go."

After Qin Gentiana and Gu Jiuxiao worked together to bury Xiaoqin, the guards of Prince Ding's Mansion followed the signal left by Qin Gentiana and finally arrived belatedly.

Gu Jiuxiao left the few clues they got for them to continue to find out who the man with the fox mask was, but the two packed up and headed towards Kaiyuan Temple one by one.

The incense of Kaiyuan Temple is strong.

People believe in this royal Buddhist temple, and people often come to offer incense.

When the two came to visit, they only revealed their identities, and the little novice respectfully led Qin Gentian inside, "Tanyue, please come with the little monk. The host said that if female Tanyue comes, I will lead her to him directly."

Qin Gentiana was taken aback, her lips were pressed into a tight line, and then she quickly let go, showing a faint smile, "I'm sorry."

When the two came to the presiding meditation room, the little novice respectfully invited Qin Jia in. Gu Jiuxiao wanted to go in, but he blocked the door with a stern face, "The presiding officer only invited the princess."

Gu Jiuxiao's eyes darkened, and he was about to make a move, but when he thought of Qin Gentiana, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and stood coldly at the door.

"meet again."

The old host looked at her kindly with kind eyes.

Qin Gentian sat down in front of him slowly, "The host knows I'm coming?"

"I hope that female Tanyue will never come to Kaiyuan Temple."

The old host sighed quietly, looking fixedly at her neck, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, "But something happened to Brother Yuande's relic...?"

Qin Gentiana was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, "The relic suddenly shattered, I..."

"Amitabha." The old abbot recited a Buddha's name for a long time, "I don't blame the female Tanyue."

He slowly opened his eyes, "Nv Tanyue has great merit, but she also has a lot of killings. Brother Yuande's relic is used to suppress the murderous aura in Tanyue. Here..." He paused and frowned, obviously hesitating whether to continue or not.

Qin Geng always felt that he was hiding something crucial, so he couldn't help asking, "How?"

But the old host refused to say anything, and only said, "I beg you, female Tanyue, to refrain from killing evil before the day when the cultivation technique is completed."

Qin Gentiana was stunned for a moment, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Then if someone bullies me, humiliates me, kills me...should I not do it?"

"Be patient if you can."

Qin Gentian sneered, and slowly stood up, "I see."

But whether it will be followed or not is unknown.

She was about to leave, but suddenly thought of Gu Jiuxiao's abnormal condition, hesitated for a while, and asked lightly, "I still have a doubt, I need Master to answer, if the relic is broken into the body, will it be harmful to others?"

The old host was stunned for a while, with a strange and surprised expression on his face. He frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "Relic entering the body? It's never heard of it."

Qin Gentian's heart sank.

She turned to leave with complicated emotions, and heard the old host's old voice behind her, "I will be reading ancient books in the near future, hoping to clear up the confusion for female Tanyue as soon as possible."

"Thank you very much."

Qin Gentile stretched out her hand and opened the door of the meditation room, and she caught Gu Jiuxiao's worried and gentle eyes. She was stunned for a moment, thinking of the unsolvable mystery in his heart, and subconsciously avoided his sight.

It was because of her that he would suffer such an innocent disaster.

Qin Gentiana didn't know how to comfort him for a moment, opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

Gu Jiuxiao seemed to know what she was thinking. Seeing that the princess was worrying about him, he was both happy and distressed. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hold her, and said softly, "It's fine, that's fine."

At least, he is the same as the princess.

The princess is a different kind, and he—has become a different kind.

Never before has he been so close to her.

Qin Gentiana didn't understand why he still laughed after being in such a difficult situation, and didn't realize that her hand was being held by him for a moment.

When the two passed by the back mountain, they suddenly heard a faint sound of a piano.

Ethereal and distant, it soothes the dryness in people's hearts at once.

Interest flashed in Qin Gentian's eyes, and he followed the sound of the piano to find it.

Gu Jiuxiao hooked her lips helplessly, looked at the hands they clasped, and followed her steps.

It was a man in Tsing Yi with his back to the courtyard gate. His ears seemed to be very sensitive. Hearing the sound of Qin Gentiana approaching, his fingers froze and he turned his head suddenly, "Who?"

But he was a middle-aged man with a skinny face and a melancholy expression.

When she saw his face clearly, Qin Geng only felt a buzzing in her ear, as if a big bell suddenly rang in her ear, which made her brain dizzy, her pupils dilated, and her expression in a trance...

This face...how could it appear here...

"grandfather… "

Her murmur was as light as if she hadn't heard it, but the man in Tsing Yi who was walking slowly didn't hear it, but Gu Jiuxiao heard it clearly.

He froze for a moment, narrowed his eyes slightly, and doubts arose in his heart.
