5 Chapter 5

"Amitabha." Master Hui Yuan suddenly stood up. "Bring Miss Tang back to her room. This old monk will treat her." Since Master Hui Yuan had spoken, no one dared to do otherwise, not to mention that Tang Kexin's current situation was really too miserable. If she vomited blood, then her injuries would be very severe.

Nangong Yi's eyes were filled with mixed emotions. Had he really made a mistake? The corner of the Third Prince's eyebrows raised a little, but no one could see through his ice-cold face and unfathomable eyes.

When they returned to Tang Kexin's room, Master Hui Yuan suddenly opened his mouth. "Since you've come, you should have at least take care not to cause ruckus. Right now, that body is already yours. How could you be so ruthless?" His slow and low voice seemed to be murmuring. He didn't seem to be overly emotional, but it was enough to frightened Tang Kexin.

"Master, what do you know?" Tang KeXin's eyes were wide opened as she stared straight at him. The words said by Master Hui Yuan struck Tang Kexin like a lightning.

Just now in the meditation hall, Mu Shaoyi's attack didn't use too much strength, so logically speaking it shouldn't had hurt her to this extent. The reason she vomited blood was because she induced it herself, and she could tell that the Master had seen through of this act of hers.

However, his statement: 'since you came, then you should at least be safe', caused her to be secretly shocked. Did the master sensed that the current Tang Kexin was not the real Tang Kexin of this era, but someone who transmigrated back from the far future? After all, he wasn't called 'Master' for nothing.

"What I know is not important. What is important right now is what do you want to know?" Master Hui Yuan looked at her amiably with a faint smile. As he spoke, he placed his hand on her wrist.

Since Master Hui Yuan had already said it so clearly, she felt that there was no need for her to hide it.

Tang KeXin felt a warm current enter her body, and the pain she was feeling immediately disappeared. The wound she had secretly inflicted on herself seemed to have healed. Tang Kexin was astonished. A master was a master indeed, and his power was simply so great!

However, Tang Kexin was more interested in knowing the meaning of his words. Did he mean he could tell anything she wanted to know? If that was the case, then it would be great.

"Who was that person?" What she wanted to know the most now was the identity of the man from last night. If she knew who that man was, then she would have a better chance of protecting herself and be on her guard. Since the master was all knowing, then he must also know.

"If you really want to know who that person was, then there's plenty of ways to find out, so there's really no need for you to ask me." Master Hui Yuan smiled even more amiably.

Tang Kexin's face immediately darkened. Yes, she was confident she could find out who that man was, but she knew it very well that the man would definitely find out who she was first before she could even had an idea who he was. Therefore, no matter how good she thought she was in the modern world, her in this ancient time against an unknown dangerous opponent would be suicidal. Because the moment she would make some move, her identity, despite of her cover being some foolish little girl, would be unveiled so fast she couldn't even make a start to escape. When that time comes, she could just sit and wait for her skin to be flayed, her tendons be pulled, and her bones be burned to ashes.

'This master is not kind, he really knew how to make people speechless.' "Master is truly merciful." Tang Kexin gritted her teeth as the master smiled knowingly. The meaning behind that smile was extremely obvious. 'Yeah, a lot of people say that.'

The corner of Tang Ke's mouth twitched, and she became speechless. Was this the demeanour a master should have? Damn, legends could all be lies.

"May I ask the kind Master for his intentions of sending me back to my room?" Hearing his nonsensical words just now, Tang Kexin felt that there was no need to ask the master about anything else. She didn't want to waste her saliva.

However, why would this master make it upon himself to order, without even consulting the people of the meditation hall, to send her back into her room? How great this person to defy the people in position ah...

"I need to treat your illness. That is why..." Master Hui Yuan looked at Tang Kexin, again that knowing smile appeared but now more prevalent. She was slightly startled, and naturally understood what the master meant.

Originally, Tang KeXin was a fool, if this idiotic person was to suddenly recover, it would definitely arouse suspicion. However, if it was Master Hui Yuan who treated her, then everything would be logical and believable.

'Alright, this master can be quite reliable sometimes.' Only after Master Hui Yuan left did Dong'er enter the room. It could be seen that this girl had too many questions in her eyes, but she was very smart and didn't ask questions. Tang Kexin felt a bit more appreciative of her.

Following this, Tang Kexin pretended to be recuperating. Giving her an excuse to not attend the ongoing lecture being given at the Meditation Hall and to keep herself in her room the entire day. Of course, the inspection in the hall did not reveal anything, and the matter of Master Hui Yuan's lecture was also important, and it could not be delayed for too long for Sir Lin. In the end, the Crown Prince could only order for the investigation to be put on hold, making the case more peculiar.

Dong'er was really intelligent. She pretended to be casual and told Tang Kexin everything that had happened in the Meditation Hall after they left.

"Did you discover anyone secretly investigating anything?" Although Tang Kexin knew that that person would act remotely, she still couldn't help but ask Dong'er this question. "None, Miss." Dong'er was startled, and her face turned serious. "Is there anything you would like me to do, Miss?" Dong'er knew that since last night, Miss was no longer playing a fool.

Today's incident in the Meditation Hall made Dong'er even more aware that not only was Miss not a fool, but she also was knowledgable and very clever. Being able to deceive the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the City Lord of the Phoenix City at the same time was not something that an ordinary person could do.

"Don't do anything, and don't say anything." Tang Kexin knew it in her heart that that man would never give up. And the best way to prevent that person from finding her was to not do anything.

"Yes." Dong'er didn't ask for the reason, but there was a surprise in her eyes. She was a little shocked by her young Miss' decisiveness and wisdom right now.

Tang Kexin was aware that the man she provoked was dangerous. Even if she didn't do anything, she might not keep her identity unknown to him that long. Because one thing was for sure, if he didn't find her in the meditation hall this time, he would definitely make more movements to corner her into revealing herself, so she had to be extremely careful.

Deep in the night, Tang Kexin was fast asleep in her room. The door to her room was quietly pushed open, and a figure quietly walked in. Tang Kexin, who was originally sleeping soundly, slightly frowned.

In the modern world, she received special trainings to be extremely vigilant into the slightest change in her surroundings. Although the person did not make any sound, she had already sensed the intrusion. She did not open her eyes, nor did she make any sound. She continued to lie there quietly, not even changing the rate of her breathing. She knew that even the smallest change could be detected by this person.

She could guess why this person had snuck into her room so late in the night. Feeling that person getting closer, Tang Kexin's heart rose into her throat. As the person walked up to her bedside, a hand directly extended towards her left shoulder. Now Tang Kexin was sure of the person's intention... and identity.

During the day in the meditation hall, all had been examined with the exception of her. Even if she was a fool, that person wouldn't miss a single detail. He would definitely not let her off.

With a fire piston on one hand, the person stealthily slid Tang Kexin's clothes off of her left shoulder. The ongoing faint light, was enough to clearly see everything that was happening there. Tang Kexin secretly breathed out, her heart thumping like mad.
