Chapter 67: 67. Little Black Girl, do you trust me?
Han Li looked up and saw Hui Neng approaching hurriedly with a group of monks, who were even holding sticks in their hands.
Han Li was startled, wondering how these monks could arrive so quickly.
She had originally planned to hide Fang Zhou away secretly, keeping their presence unknown from the monks, but that plan had now fallen through.
Han Li could only feign calmness and said to Hui Neng, “Master Hui Neng, you’ve arrived just in time, please prepare some hot water; my friend needs to bathe.”
However, Hui Neng did not move and instead looked around, relieved to see that only two people had returned.
The reason for their swift arrival was that a monk had seen a golden light shoot into the courtyard and, having been informed earlier, the prepared Hui Neng immediately led people here.
He was worried that if too many people escaped back, and one or two managed to flee, leaking the news would be troublesome.
Fortunately, there were only two of them, making the situation easier to handle.
Seeing that Hui Neng did not respond, Han Li raised her voice: “Master Hui Neng?”
Hui Neng smiled gently at her: “Are there only two benefactors who have returned? Very good, very good.”
She was genuinely relieved; the situation had almost slipped out of control. The noises of battle coming from the old site of Lanruo Temple were terrifying, making her fear tremendously. Even the intrusion by Yan Chixia into Lanruo Temple a year ago wasn’t as frightening.
