The sky gradually sank, in the temple, the monk who struck the bell finished striking the last bell, the sky was thick and heavy like ink, the rainwater hit the tree clusters, emitting a fragrant earthy scent.

  Shen Yue sat at the desk, put down the book in her hand, rubbed her eyes, and seemed to feel a bit sleepy. The maid beside her asked: "Miss, do you want to rest?"

  Shen Yue didn't say a word and opened the window. The house next door belonged to Shen Qing, whose house was not far from hers and still had lights on at this moment.

  "Does Second Miss want to sleep with Eldest Miss?" asked the maid hesitantly.

  "No." Shen Yue turned around with some disgust: "Go and close the gate of the yard."

  On the other hand, in Shen Qing's room, Shen Qing was fiddling with a small trinket in her hand, lazily yawning and glancing outside: "It's so late..." She stood up: "I'd better rest."

  As she passed by the table, she suddenly saw a beautifully crafted incense burner and a few joss sticks placed there. Shen Qing picked one up and smelled it, feeling that it was indeed fragrant, so she said, "Let's light this incense too."

  Half a moment later, the lights in the house also went out.

  Everything returns to silence, the ancient temple in the deep mountains at midnight, except for the birdsong and insect hum, there is only the clear sound of rain hitting the tiles, dripping from the eaves onto the stone slab.

  In the dead of night, the lamp in the innermost room of Beigong also quietly went out.

  In the darkness, there seemed to be someone's footsteps quietly passing by. If someone were to pass by at this moment, they would see a purple-clad girl sitting in front of the window and desk. Her face was cold and expressionless, with only a pair of eyes that remained clear and bright even in the dark night, like a beast intent on hunting, closely following the arrival of its prey.

  The tiles on the roof seemed to have made a crisp and clear sound, and Gu Yu and Jing Zhen, who were standing behind Shen Miao, simultaneously raised their heads, with tense faces guarding the people in front of the table.

  A moment later, a "meow" sound came from outside the window.

  The two of them let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

  Before they could catch their breath, they heard a flurry of hasty footsteps. Although the sound was light, it was particularly noticeable to the three people who were wide awake. Immediately afterwards, the window was opened and a figure leapt in.

  "Miss, it's me, Mo Qiang." The man said softly.

  Gu Yu and Jing Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Jing Zhen lit a thin candle, afraid that the light would shine outside. At first glance, they were shocked to see that Mo Qing's back was still carrying someone, and that person was none other than Shen Qing.

  At this moment, Shen Qing's eyes were tightly closed, with a drowsy and sleepy look. Jing Zhen and Gu Yu were both shocked and fearful in their hearts, but Shen Miao glanced at Shen Qing and said lightly: "You did very well."

  Mo En's face was slightly awkward. He was also doing this for the first time, and he didn't know what Shen Miao had planned to do. In his heart, he thought it was probably because Miss Shen was dissatisfied with her own house, so she used this method to secretly switch houses in the middle of the night. However, this approach was really too rough, if someone accidentally discovered him, they would think he was a thief, and even with a mouthful of excuses, he wouldn't be able to explain himself clearly.

  Fortunately, there were only two guards outside Shen Qing and Shen Yue's house. As a future son-in-law, this number was indeed too small. However, since that was the case, he wouldn't take the initiative to look for trouble. Carrying a little girl was an easy task for him, and before that, he had also followed Gu Xiang's instructions and added something to Shen Qing's incense that would make her sleep soundly.

  "Carry her to bed," said Shen Miao.

  Mo Ke covered Shen Qing with the quilt on the bed, and then thought for a moment before covering him again. Even at this time, Mo Ke still couldn't understand what Shen Miao wanted to do.

  "Miss, what are we doing now..." Gu Yu asked tentatively. In this house, except for Shen Miao, no one knew what she was really trying to do. Mo Jing thought Shen Miao was just being playful and sulky, but Xing Zhen and Gu Yu could vaguely sense that it wasn't. Shen Miao was no longer the kind of person who would get angry with people because of an unsuitable house, let alone bringing everyone out in the middle of the night; if it were just for this reason, it would be too much fuss over a small matter.

  "Let's go." Shen Miao glanced at the person on the bed.

  "Go?" Yu Yu was taken aback: "Where are we going?"

  "Nature has gone to my sister's boudoir."

  Mo Ke sighed in his heart, "It's really just a child's play." He was somewhat dissatisfied with Shen Miao in his heart, not expecting that Shen Miao, who looked gentle and calm on the surface, would have such a competitive personality. For a small matter, she even dared to sacrifice her own sister's reputation. Just as he was thinking about this, his expression suddenly changed, and he said in a low voice, "Who?"

  At this moment, Guyu and Jingzhen suddenly became flustered.

  "Could you have been seen by someone when you just arrived?" Shen Miao's face sank, if it was the people from that side, there was no way they could have arrived so quickly. Even with Ren Yuanyun's meticulous nature, she would have definitely made them wait a bit longer. How did Mo Ye bring the person over and yet someone came knocking on the door right away? If... her expression changed several times, if all else failed, she could only resort to the most inferior method.

  "I'll go out and take a look." Mo Cheng nervously drew his sword from his waist, but just as he reached the door, he saw a figure flash by the window. Not daring to make a big noise, Mo Cheng shouted in a low voice, "Who's there?" He swung his sword at the person.

  The man in black easily dodged Mo Rong's sword, using some unknown technique to step onto the windowsill and fly in like a swallow. He moved through the room with ease, as if he were swimming through water. As soon as he entered, he suddenly turned around, and before Mo Rong could react, the man sidestepped him and deftly snatched the sword from his hand. The next moment, the sword was pressed against Mo Rong's neck.

  The sudden change left everyone stunned. Shen Miao also felt some surprise, Mo Jing's martial arts skills were not low, having held the position of Guard Captain for so long. In the past, relying on his skills, he had escorted Shen Miao safely through Qin Guo for many years. Now, he was defeated by this black-clad person in less than five moves and even had his sword taken away?

  Mo En didn't expect that the other party would be far more superior than himself, seemingly ashamed but even more worried about Shen Miao's safety. He said: "I and brother have no grudges or grievances, why did you resort to such vicious means?"

  His words were not wrong, tonight in this temple except for the monks, it was Shenfu's guards. But among Shenfu's guards, there was no one with such a high level of martial arts skills, Mo Jing's heart was filled with surprise, could it be that Wodelong Temple had other people?

  The other party did not intend to let go, and only a faint sound was heard. Shen Miao had found a lighter and re-lit the candle that had almost gone out just now.

  The other party did not expect someone to suddenly light up a lighter, and they didn't even have time to cover it up. Subconsciously, their eyes revealed murderous intent, apparently planning to make a living by killing people and silencing them.

  However, as the dim yellow light rose, everything in the house was exposed. In Shen's clear and cold eyes, a hint of astonishment flashed across the beautiful face of the person opposite him, who then furrowed his brow and said coldly: "Shen family's servant girl?"

  "Can you let go of my guard?" Shen Miao's voice was cooler than the autumn rain outside: "Thank you, Young Master Xie."
