Under the dim light of the candle, the temple hall of Lingtai Temple was carefully checking the account books.

"It's only been a short month, and the amount of people entering my account has already caught up to the number of people in the past half year. The people in Return of Spring to City are really rich, and they are really cowardly."

While Liu Ming was thinking about some unknown ideas in his mind, he suddenly heard a crisp sound from the room's door. Then, he saw the door being kicked open.

"Is it that easy to earn money as a temple gift? Why don't you give some to us brothers?"

Two masked men walked in from outside. When the leader of the group entered, he held a long sword in his hand and announced the robbery declaration.

However, both of them were short and the voice of the one who spoke was even sharper, so he could tell that it was a girl's voice.

"Where did this little girl come from? Since she dares to learn from others and rob others?"

Hearing that Miao Zhu had seen through her true appearance, the leader of the bandits immediately pulled down her veil and angrily said to the person behind her: "Ye Zhifa, what lousy idea is this, it was seen through in an instant!"

Facing Chu Qianwei's dissatisfaction, Ye Zhifa was also extremely helpless. He did not expect that not only did Chu Qianwei's tricks lead to him revealing his name, he had even casually mentioned his name. If he really planned to do something bad in the future, he definitely would not invite Chu Qianwei to be his partner.

Since the robber play could not continue, Ye Zhifa could only change the script. He also took off his mask, pointed his long sword at Temple Head Zhu, and coldly said, "Your case has been discovered, why don't you come back with us?"

A crime has been committed? Did someone find out about me?

At first, Miao Zhu's expression changed, but soon he realized that there were only two brats in front of him. No matter how absurd the imperial court was, they would not use these two brats as a constable. He had been thinking too much just now.

However, he did not expect that the slight change in his expression did not escape Ye Zhifa's eyes.

"It's really you!" Junior Sister, quickly take him down! "

With that said, Ye Zhifa and Chu Qianwei attacked together. Even though this type of martial arts cultivation was often lacking in actual combat, Ye Zhifa had warned Chu Qianwei in advance that she must not be careless if she wanted to take action, and must not go all out.

However, the actual situation during their battle was completely different from what Ye Zhifa had expected. Facing the attacks of his fellow disciples, this temple actually didn't have enough time to react and was directly held by two long swords that glowed with a cold light on their necks.

Afterwards, this temple was even more powerless. He kneeled down and begged, "Heroes, please spare us!"

His kneeling caused the two of them to jump, and then, Chu Qianwei looked at Ye Zhifa with a suspicious gaze, and asked: "Ye Zhifa, this is the demon you spoke of who ordered the ghosts to move, why is he so weak?"

Seeing his weak performance, Ye Zhifa was not sure, but he hesitated and said: "I saw his expression was panicked, and it is reasonable, so the Miss Yao case can only be done by him."

With this, Temple Head Saying was finally clear on their intentions, he quickly kowtowed and said: "The two heroes truly wronged me, I am just an ordinary person with no power, the husband of Miss Yao was killed by a ghost, how could it be me?"

Hearing his sincere words, Ye Zhifa couldn't help but start to shake. Chu Qianwei even more so, directly extended his hand out to support the temple, as he complained to Ye Zhifa.

"Ye Zhifa, I think you have truly wronged a good person. You have to properly apologize to him."

Just as Chu Qianwei's hand was about to touch the temple hall, Ye Zhifa took advantage of the candlelight to discover something strange. She immediately thrust her sword forward, and directly pierced through the temple hall's right hand that was hidden under her clothes.

With his hand pierced through, Temple Head Zhu first let out a wail, then the thing he held in his hand also fell to the ground. It was a small blue-purple gourd.

The color of the gourd was strange, and when he looked at it, he felt an inexplicable sense of disgust. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem to be anything good.

After he finished thrusting the sword, Ye Zhifa once again placed the tip of the sword onto the temple's throat. But this time, he would not easily move it away.

"Speak, what is this bottle gourd, and what does the Miss Yao's matter have to do with you?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so cautious at such a young age. Truly impressive."

There was no weakness in the voice of the temple master as he replied. Instead, his voice was filled with venomous resentment.

Only then did Chu Qianwei realize that she had been deceived by the temple master's previous expression. She first spat at him, and then wanted to pick up the bottle gourd, but was stopped by Ye Zhifa.

"Be careful, there might be something wrong with this gourd. Don't touch it with your hands."

Hearing Ye Zhifa's words, temple wishes couldn't help but to turn cold. If Chu Qianwei really touched the bottle gourd, he would be able to take this opportunity to control Chu Qianwei. But now, he had lost her last chance to turn the tables.

If you were to be honest, I won't hand you over to Duan Deyi. Otherwise, I will cripple you before handing you over to that Lord City Guard.

He knew that Ye Zhifa could do what he said, so he could only give it up in detail.

This temple man in his thirties also had the surname Zhang. Not only was he from Young Master Zhang's family, he was also a distant relative. This Zhang Miaozhu had a fortuitous encounter in his early years and obtained a bottle gourd.

Miss Yao had frequently come to Lingtai Temple to complain this past year, but Zhang Miaozhu, who was watching by the side, heard the words from the bottom of his heart. Zhang Miaozhu was also a person with active mind, after hearing Miss Yao's distress, he had a plan to both win and lose.

It turned out that he was planning to send the little ghost to kill Young Master Zhang first, so Miss Yao would become an ominous person afterwards. Afterwards, he would borrow the identity as the Lingtai Temple's temple master to get close to this "ominous person". If that was the case, wouldn't Old Master Yao's huge fortune and this pretty lady be his?

His plan was not bad, but unfortunately something went wrong with the first step of the plan, causing Miss Yao to go insane.

Now, all of Zhang Miaozhu's plans had come to naught. He could only rely on the Lingtai Temple to amass wealth while looking forward to the day when he would recover from his illness.

"What you think is beautiful, and you're even prepared to get rich at the same time. But because of your bad luck, Miss Yao woke up today. It's just that you won't have the chance to see her again. "

He thought that Ye Zhifa would kill him here, but instead smiled at him and said: "You're thinking too much, I won't kill you here. The officials of the Return of Spring to City will give you a proper trial."

You said you won't give me to Duan Deyi! You promised me! "

"I did indeed say that, so why don't you come with us to meet the mayor?"
