After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Yun Xiyao sneered: "Using numbers to bully the few, how shameless."

Protector Yue said coldly, "Yun Xiyao, you know the consequences of doing this."

Yun Xiyao frowned slightly.

Meng Qianqian keenly noticed her expression and knew that this was no small matter and would bring her very troublesome consequences.

"Master, why don't you go in by yourself?"

They tried other methods.

Yun Xiyao said calmly, "What if she possesses the old palace master's token?"

"The old temple master's token?"

Protector Jiang frowned.

Protector Yue scoffed, "Yun Xiyao, do you want to listen to what you're saying? The old palace master has been dead for many years. Where would he get a token for a little girl from an outer island?"

Yun Xiyao winked at Qing'er.

Qing'er opened the bundle she was carrying, revealing an old and quaint box.

"This box..."

Jiang, the protector, immediately felt that the face looked familiar.

Protector Yue and Qin Zhuo were completely bewildered, unable to understand why Protector Jiang had shown a look of déjà vu.

Yun Xiyao smiled faintly: "You recognized me, didn't you?"

Protector Jiang reached out his hand to Qing'er.

Qing'er presented the box to him.

After he opened it, he showed the same astonishment as Yun Xiyao had when she first saw it.

"This is……"

His voice trembled.

Protector Yue and Qin Zhuo quickly came over.

"Hand bones?"

Qin Zhuo looked completely bewildered.

Protector Yue pointed to the hand bone and sneered at Yun Xiyao, saying, "Yun Xiyao, if you're going to fool people, at least produce something decent. A hand bone? Is that believable?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Protector Jiang knelt down on one knee.

He, Qin Zhuo, and everyone else present who were unaware of the truth were all startled.

Protector Jiang clasped his hands in greeting, his eyes red and his throat sore: "Jiang Liu, welcome back the old Palace Master to the island!"

Yun Xiyao also knelt down devoutly.

Meng Qianqian knelt down with her master.

She appeared calm, but her heart was in turmoil.

Grandma Feng's husband is actually the former temple master of the Holy Temple. How did you insiders keep such an important matter to yourselves until now?
Yun Xiyao's expression changed that night, but she didn't say anything, only saying that the hand bone would be temporarily kept with her.

She guessed that the hand bone Granny Feng had given her was not ordinary, but she had not expected it to be so extraordinary.

"Guardian Jiang, are you sure you haven't mistaken someone else? Isn't this...?"

"Shut up!"

Protector Jiang sternly stopped Qin Zhuo.

Protector Yue glanced at Yun Xiyao and Meng Qianqian with a complicated expression, and then knelt before Shou Gu.

"I'm not kneeling! Who knows if she's telling the truth or not!"

Qin Zhuo flicked his sleeve and scoffed coldly.

Yun Xiyao stood up: "Now that I have the old palace master's token, my disciple is qualified to enter the forbidden area, right?"

Protector Jiang nodded slowly.

He and Protector Yue also got up.

Meng Qianqian then got up.

Yun Xiyao looked at Protector Yue: "What do you say?"

Although Protector Yue and Yun Xiyao were at odds, the more this was the case, the more important it was to prevent Yun Xiyao from finding any fault with him.

"Since Protector Jiang has spoken, let's make an exception and allow her to visit the forbidden area."

He paused, then continued, "However, she can go in, but no one else!"

Yun Xiyao: "Okay."

She agreed so readily, a stark contrast to her previous unreasonable behavior, that Protector Yue was taken aback.

She originally thought she would at least try again...

This is completely baffling.

Yun Xiyao said to Lu Yuan, "You two go back to Biyue Pavilion first. Remember, don't wander around. If something goes wrong while I'm not around, no one can protect you."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Understood, Master."

Meng Lang's eyes widened: "Why do you also call her Master?" Lu Yuan: "A woman follows her husband's wishes after marriage."

Meng Lang: "..."

Meng Qianqian glanced at Lu Yuan, then nodded to the Snake and the Dragon.

Then he followed behind Yun Xiyao with Tan'er.

Tan'er was stopped.

Meng Qianqian said, "Can't I bring a maid to serve me?"

Yun Xiyao: "If you don't bring them, we can too."

Qin Zhuo coldly lowered his arm.

Yun Xiyao, Meng Qianqian, Tan'er, and Qing'er went into the back mountain.

Meng Qianqian looked back to make sure no one was following her before saying to Yun Xiyao, "Master, of the other three protectors, only Protector Jiang has a good relationship with you. Qin Zhuo, like Yue Dong, is also one of the High Priest's men?"

"Qin Zhuo is not, Jiang Liu is."

Yun Xiyao's answer surprised Meng Qianqian.

Yun Xiyao said, "Many things are not as they seem on the surface. Don't assume that Jiang Liu is a good person."

Meng Qianqian nodded.

The back mountain of the temple was smaller than she had imagined. With each step, Meng Qianqian carefully measured the distance with her eyes.

"looking at what?"

Yun Xiyao asked.

Meng Qianqian: "I'm looking at the place where the Holy Maiden of the Western Night is imprisoned."

Yun Xiyao opened her mouth.

Tan'er tilted her head: "Sister, this place looks so familiar."

Yun Xiyao responded with an unexpected "hmm".

Meng Qianqian explained, "Tan'er is also from Liuli Island."

Yun Xiyao was surprised, but not that surprised.

Perhaps she had long been accustomed to any unexpected changes occurring in this girl.

“Ordinary islanders cannot enter the forbidden area of ​​the temple.”

She said.

Meng Qianqian said, "Tan'er is not an ordinary islander."

Tan'er skipped and hopped to the front, touching the flowers and plants and exploring the branches and leaves with great curiosity.

Yun Xiyao gave her a deep look: "Tan'er, she..."

She didn't say anything more.

Meng Qianqian smiled slightly: "Mm."

Now it was Yun Xiyao's turn to gasp.

"what happened……"

Before Meng Qianqian could answer, she shook her head. "Never mind, tell me the details later. We're almost at the spirit altar."
-
The altar was more lively than I had imagined.

Aymulan, Shan Cheng, and Mo Yi also arrived.

The white-haired, gray-robed man standing beside them was the high priest of the temple.

Meng Qianqian stayed in the temple for three days and met the high priest, whose status was second only to the temple master, for the first time.

Soon, she discovered something.

The eyes and eyebrows of Shan Cheng and the High Priest were remarkably similar.

"Master, don't tell me they are—"

“That’s right, Shan Cheng is the son of the High Priest.”

Meng Qianqian's mouth dropped open, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether she or Yun Xiyao had caused the greater shock.

This explains why Aymuran was able to establish a relationship with the temple and become a guest of honor.

"We meet again."

Shan Cheng greeted Meng Qianqian with a smile.

Mo Yi rolled her eyes and looked away.

Meng Qianqian smiled and said generously, "Lord Mo still treats me so specially."

Mo Yi clenched his fist.

Meng Qianqian then looked at Shan Cheng: "You're quite the hidden talent, Lord Shan."

Shan Cheng glanced at Yun Xiyao and smiled at Meng Qianqian, "Likewise."

Meng Qianqian was about to say, "I only have a master, but you really have a Holy Sect as your father."

Unexpectedly, Shan Cheng spoke slowly: "Young Master, how have you been?" (End of Chapter)
