Chapter 338 No Looking at Others
When Chu Junting arrived, he saw Song Ruozhen's face covered in blood, the scene of her being stabbed to death. His heart jumped to his throat, and his dark, deep eyes instantly turned cold and menacing.
"Damn it!"
Chu Junting moved nimbly and swiftly, his movements as sharp as lightning. He raised his hand and unleashed a burst of energy, instantly striking the man who had previously attempted to assassinate Song Ruozhen, sending him flying backward!
"boom!"
The man crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He struggled twice, then collapsed helplessly, clearly dead.
"Ruozhen, are you alright?"
Chu Junting rushed to Song Ruozhen's side, his obsidian-like eyes filled with tension and worry, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, and even his voice trembling uncontrollably.
"Where's the injury?"
His hand covered Song Ruozhen's face, which was stained with blood, and his gaze kept looking her over, wondering where she was injured.
Song Ruozhen breathed a sigh of relief the moment she saw Chu Junting return. Before she could even speak, she met Chu Junting's anxious and worried gaze.
This was the first time she had seen Chu Junting so anxious. Gone was his usual nonchalance; his nervousness was clearly written all over his face.
"I'm fine," she said.
Chu Junting didn't believe it. "You're covered in blood."
Song Ruozhen blinked innocently, "It's not my blood."
A hint of doubt flashed in Chu Junting's eyes, and his gaze fell on Chen Xiang, whose large patch of blood on his chest looked even more horrifying.
Chenxiang: "It's not mine either, it belongs to the assassin."
Chu Junting withdrew his gaze and carefully examined Song Ruozhen. Seeing that she was not injured, he felt somewhat relieved. When he turned to look at the group of assassins, his eyes were filled with overwhelming rage.
"Save a few alive, kill the rest!"
When Yunyang and the others arrived and saw that Miss Song was in danger, their hearts were in their throats.
They had no doubt that if anything happened to Miss Song, they would all be executed along with her!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Master Tianji ran away the moment he saw Chu Junting appear, and no matter how carefully everyone searched, they could not find him.
“Yunchan Temple should have a secret passage.”
Chu Junting's expression darkened slightly. A person cannot simply disappear into thin air, much less vanish in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, there is only one explanation.
Yunyang and the others found all the abbots of Yunchan Temple and discovered that they had all been drugged and were now all unconscious.
When they were awakened by people from the Chu King's mansion, the host and others were all bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
"Master Tianji is here to create a mystery and commit evil deeds. Don't you know that?"
Yunyang simply didn't believe it. "The Prince himself is investigating the case. How dare you conceal anything? Don't you want your heads?"
The host was so startled that he immediately knelt down.
"Your Highness, we really didn't know anything about it. Yun Chan Temple was already struggling, but not long ago Master Tianji suddenly came here and said that he could bring Yun Chan Temple back to life."
When my master passed the position of abbot to me, he hoped that Yunchan Temple would flourish, but over the years... I have truly failed my master.
Therefore, when I heard that Master Tianji could bring the dead back to life, I agreed. We were never allowed to enter his courtyard; we truly had no idea he had committed such heinous acts!
The abbot stammered out the whole story, and the other monks, after some questioning, gave similar answers. The monk who had stopped them earlier had obviously disappeared.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid those guys at Yunchan Temple really don't know."
Yun Yang's face was grim. They had only captured a few assassins; Master Tianji had vanished without a trace.
Chu Junting's eyes darkened as he said, "Find the secret passage here and continue the investigation."
"Yes!"
……
When it was time to go down the mountain, Song Ruozhen looked at her leg helplessly. She was indeed not injured; she had just twisted her ankle while running away.
Since transmigrating into the book, her precious body has been so weak that she can't carry anything. This is already a significant improvement for her; in the past, she would have been even more frail.
"Sprained your ankle?"
Chu Junting noticed that Song Ruozhen's walking posture was a little strange, and his deep, magnetic voice revealed his concern.
“My legs hurt a little when I walk, but it’s so far down the mountain, how about... we find two people to make a bamboo sedan chair to carry me down the mountain?”
Song Ruozhen nodded, her small face scrunched up in a frown, showing a hint of helplessness.
If the distance weren't too far, she could bear it for a while, but Yunchan Temple is on the mountain. If she went down the mountain like this, she'd probably be back with her legs completely ruined.
Her gaze swept over Yunyang and the others, as if she were pondering the best way to descend the mountain. The most convenient option would be to carry them down, but this was ancient times…
Chenxiang's condition is even more serious than hers right now; he probably won't be able to get down the mountain either.
When Yunyang noticed Song Ruozhen's gaze, he was startled and quickly lowered his head.
If Miss Song had chosen him, he might have lost his life today.
Chu Junting saw Song Ruozhen's subconscious actions, his tongue slightly pressed against his cheek, he was so angry he almost laughed. Was he, a living person, being completely ignored?
"Eh--"
Suddenly, Song Ruozhen felt her feet leave the ground, and then she felt the man's cool and warm aura coming from her, and she was being held in his arms.
She instinctively wrapped her arms around the man's neck, her gaze falling on his sharply defined jawline, and following the jawline upwards to his cool, aloof lips and his exquisitely handsome features.
As the man lowered his head slightly, she met his deep, ocean-like eyes.
"I will carry you down."
The man's voice was deep and magnetic, ringing in her ears, accompanied by his shallow breathing, which sent a shiver down her spine.
"Don't look at others, there's no chance."
Chu Junting's gaze was fixed on her, carrying an overbearing and unquestionable tone.
Song Ruozhen looked at the handsome face in front of her. When he wasn't smiling, the sharp corners of his eyes were lowered, and his eyes were dark and deep. From this angle, you could even see the fine downy hairs on his face.
Despite her voice carrying a hint of coldness, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but smile.
This man——
Her domineering side is also cute.
"Yunyang, could you please help me carry Chenxiang down the mountain? She's injured and frightened," Song Ruozhen said.
Upon hearing that it was about carrying agarwood, Yun Yang quickly replied, "Your subordinate obeys."
A flicker of panic crossed Chenxiang's eyes. She retreated hastily, waving her hands and saying, "Miss, I... I'm alright."
"You're still trembling with fear, how can you possibly get down the mountain?"
Song Ruozhen immediately saw through Chen Xiang's disoriented state. This little girl had never seen such a scene before; she was terrified today!
However, Yunyang remained calm and said, "Miss Chenxiang, don't worry, I will definitely carry you safely down the mountain."
