Chapter 205 - 130 The Death of Huai Yin_2
As soon as Jing Hui entered the room, Ran Yan was watching her reaction carefully. Her face was gentle and placid, not giving away any flaws; she looked just like a nun uninvolved with worldly affairs.
"This humble nun will certainly tell all I know." Jing Hui spoke.
"Xiao Lord, I would like to speak privately with the venerable Jing Hui for a moment, if you don’t mind..." Ran Yan suddenly interrupted their conversation, her calm gaze piercing Xiao Song.
Xiao Song hesitated internally. He had always suspected Jing Hui to be the murderer. How could he leave Ran Yan alone with her? But his thoughts quickly shifted, and he seemed to understand Ran Yan’s intention. He then turned to Jing Hui, his eyes still retaining a faint smile and tenderness for Ran Yan, but he made sure Jing Hui saw it clearly, "Please take good care of her."
Following Xiao Song’s departure, Ran Yan pretended to be uneasy, tugging at her sleeve, trying hard to seem more tender, "This is somewhat embarrassing to mention, please don’t blame me..."
Remembering Xiao Song’s expression and seeing Ran Yan’s demeanor, Jing Hui thought she understood their relationship and said, "Miss Ran, please speak."
Ran Yan quickly organized her words. "You have been at the Yingmei Temple for many years, so you must know about the matter concerning Master Huai Yin, correct?"
Jing Hui was startled internally. She hadn’t expected Ran Yan to bring up Huai Yin and suddenly felt nervous, but she quickly regained her composure and stabilized her voice, "This humble nun knew Master Huai Yin before he was ordained. However, since he entered monastic life, he has often been secluded and travels frequently, so I know very little."
