Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 336: Driving the tiger away from the mountain

"Your Highness, I have inquired and found that Master Tianji is in the back courtyard."

It is said that he only sees three pilgrims a day, and he will not see those he does not feel a connection with. His requirements are extremely high. However, it is precisely because he is so difficult to see that many pilgrims flock to this place every day.

Naturally, the number of worshippers at Yunchan Temple increased.

Yunyang reported the information he had gathered truthfully.

As darkness fell, it was already afternoon when we set off from the city. We climbed the mountain and arrived at the horizon where the sun was already setting.

"Even if he only sees three people, it's enough for him to make a fortune."

Song Ruozhen's misty eyes revealed a hint of mockery. Since ancient times, such shady dealings have been the most profitable.

Whether it's Yun Xiaoniang or the person who attacked the Princess Consort of Xiang, they must have spent a lot of money to hire these underlings, and exorbitant prices are commonplace.

After all, it's an act that goes against one's moral character, and naturally, one wouldn't want to do it if they didn't have enough money.

"Most of the pilgrims have left by now, let's go see them directly."

Chu Junting's obsidian-like eyes were filled with a chilling coldness. The imperial city would never tolerate such a vicious person!

In such a short time, people have been victimized one after another. If it had been any later, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

However, the group was stopped before they even reached the courtyard.

"Gentlemen, Master Tianji is no longer receiving worshippers today. Please come early tomorrow."

Chu Junting glanced at the monk with his deep eyes, and Yun Yang stepped forward directly, saying, "There's no reason why His Highness the King of Chu wouldn't be able to see the person he wants to see!"

Upon hearing that the visitor was the King of Chu, the monk was startled and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness the King of Chu."

Chu Junting raised his hand indifferently, signaling the monks not to meddle. Yun Yang and the other guards pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside.

However, the courtyard was empty.

"no one?"

When everyone entered the house, they found it completely empty, with tea still brewing on the table.

Yunyang quickly stepped forward, touched the temperature of the tea, and said, "Your Highness, it's still warm. The person must have just left not long ago."

Chu Junting's face darkened; clearly, the other party had sensed something was amiss and had fled immediately.

"Chase!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yunyang waved his hand, and the others rushed out to search for possible escape routes from the courtyard.

"The fact that this person ran away so quickly means that someone must have been keeping watch outside beforehand. Knowing that we were coming, he immediately fled."

Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting exchanged a glance and immediately realized the problem.

"That monk from before!"

Just then, the sounds of fighting came from the back mountain of Yunchan Temple, clearly indicating that Yunyang and his group had already engaged in a fierce battle with their opponents.

"Be careful, there's an ambush!"

Yunyang's loud voice drifted faintly through the air, and one could tell from his tone alone that the situation was serious.

Chu Junting's handsome brows furrowed involuntarily. He had brought more than a dozen people with him, yet there was still a risk involved. This showed that Master Tianji had quite a few people in Yunchan Temple.

"Your Highness, you should go and help. Since there is an ambush, the enemy's numbers must be quite large."

Song Ruozhen frowned slightly. The situation was more complicated than they had thought. This was not just a swindler; there must be a powerful force behind it.

Chu Junting's eyes were serious, filled with worry. "I'm worried that you'll be in danger if you're alone."

“Now that the pilgrims are descending the mountain one after another, Chenxiang and I can just follow them down the mountain. Besides, although I grew up in a secluded place, I'm not completely without the ability to protect myself.”

Song Ruozhen pondered before speaking, originally thinking that the other party might resort to tricks, and a battle of wits was inevitable, which was why she came with the prince.

Now that the other party has escaped, all we need to do is wait for the Chu Prince's Mansion to bring them back. As for the rest, we don't need to worry about it; the government will handle it itself.

The clanging of metal grew increasingly intense. Chu Junting gave Song Ruozhen a deep look, then took out a dagger and handed it to her.

"Then be careful."

"Do not worry."

As Chu Junting left, Song Ruozhen also stopped and quickly walked outside with Chen Xiang.

As she walked, she couldn't help but think that the power behind this master of divination was truly extraordinary.

Chu Junting was highly skilled in martial arts and was a formidable force on the battlefield. Almost all the guards in his mansion were also veterans of the war, and their martial arts skills were far superior to those of ordinary guards in other mansions.

There were more than ten of them when they arrived, and now they've all been entangled and are even in danger, which shows how formidable the other side's methods are.

However, Song Ruozhen's expression suddenly changed after she had only taken a few steps out of the courtyard.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Seeing that her young mistress's expression suddenly turned serious, Chenxiang's eyes showed a hint of worry.

"It's a concealment array!"

With shock in her clear, bright eyes, Song Ruozhen carefully observed the surroundings and was astonished to discover that they had entered a concealment array the moment they stepped into the courtyard!

Ordinary concealment arrays cannot escape her eyes at all. This array is so well hidden that the opponent must have used his essence blood as a catalyst and gone to such great lengths.

Just as Song Ruozhen uttered those three words, a round of applause suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"Miss Song is indeed clever. She was able to identify the concealment array so quickly. I admire her."

A light, cheerful laugh rang out, tinged with a hint of praise.

"I had heard of Miss Song's extraordinary metaphysical skills before, so I dared not underestimate her. The concealment array I set up with my life essence was seen through in such a short time. I never expected that there would be such a powerful person as you in the capital."

As the concealment array was exposed, the assassins from all sides quietly appeared.

Song Ruozhen's gaze swept over the assassins and finally landed on the old Taoist priest in the middle.

The old Taoist priest was dressed in a white robe that exuded an air of otherworldly elegance. His hair was streaked with gray, and he wore a tall silver crown. He held a whisk in his hand, and at first glance, he appeared to be a highly accomplished Taoist master.

"It seems this game was specifically set up for me?"

Song Ruozhen was slightly surprised. Her metaphysical skills were indeed well-known in the capital, but she did not recognize the old Taoist in front of her, nor did she understand why he had specially led her here.

"Given Yun Xiaoniang's status, she probably couldn't afford 100,000 taels of silver, let alone the vengeful ghost you've been carefully raising."

The reason you gave her such a low price was so that I would discover something and get involved, right?

Master Tianji's eyes flashed with admiration, "Miss Song is indeed insightful. She has figured out the key point so quickly. With what little Yun Xiaoniang has, she is naturally not worthy of the little ghost I raise."

Song Ruozhen narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, "If I remember correctly, there is no grudge between us. What is the purpose of your elaborate scheme to bring me here?"

Master Tianji's eyes suddenly turned cold. "The two little devils I carefully raised have been dealt with by Miss Song. This took me many years of hard work!"

Now that you're gone, it's certainly not because I wanted to see you. Someone else wants to see you, so don't worry, you'll see them soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Tianji gave the others a wink, "Don't delay, or it will be too late once the King of Chu's men react!"
