Jinshan Temple.

Startled by the knight’s shout, Xia Zhiqiu quickly gathered himself, apologized to Xuan Nan and his party, and then returned to the side of the eldest son and knelt on the ground in deference to the arrival of Wang Fei.

Xia Zhiqiu was somewhat frustrated. It seemed that Wang Fei intended to make up for the past decades of absence with a grand show of the heir’s return to Prince of Ping’an’s Mansion.

She didn’t even wait to verify if the boy was really her Prince. Yes, a mother might do anything to compensate for a child she has wronged.

However, this level of fuss seemed a bit too hastened. Had some misfortune occurred in the palace that warranted the rush?

Xia Zhiqiu’s thoughts spun wildly. The actions of Princess Ping’an at this moment were indeed hard to justify, but all he could do was bury his doubts for now.

The next moment, the Princess’s horse carriage appeared within everyone’s line of sight, followed by a flurry of people adding to a buzzing scene.

Hmm?

Observing the situation, Xia Zhiqiu understood more than he had initially thought. Wang Fei’s actions were drawing quite the grand assembly.

Was she making sure that everyone in Jinzhou City knew of the return of the heir of Ping’an Wang’s Mansion today?

When the carriage came to a halt and the curtain was pulled back, an elegant woman appeared, still beautiful in her age. All those present cast their eyes downward, not daring to look directly at her.

“Lady Rong, where is my son?”

The old woman hurried over to Wang Fei and whispered in her ear, “Your Highness, don’t be upset, the Prince is over there.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Fei immediately looked where Lady Rong pointed and saw a young novice monk being surrounded by guards. Her eyes turned red instantly, and she rushed towards him.

“My poor son.”

The novice monk didn’t have time to counter-react, he was abruptly pulled to her side, where she roughly rolled up his sleeve and saw a birthmark on his arm resembling a flying sparrow. She started crying uncontrollably.

“My son, you’ve suffered so much these years.”

Wang Fei sobbed as she held the novice monk, causing uncertainty among the people of Jinshan Temple and the local folks. Xuan Nan and others were relieved. They now understood why Xia Zhiqiu had made such a fuss – it all made sense.

Something stirred in Xuan Nan’s heart at this moment, but he quickly dismissed the thought. This was not a time for him to act impulsively.

Meanwhile, seeing Wang Fei lose control, Xia Zhiqiu quickly ordered his men to bring in a veil to cover Wang Fei, keeping the spectacle hidden from the on-looking crowd.

The novice monk finally reacted, trying gently to break away from Wang Fei, careful not to hurt her, and cautiously said, “My woman, are you sure you haven’t mistaken me for someone else? I’m just a novice monk in the temple.”

“I can’t be mistaken. I remember every detail of this birthmark, you are my son.”

Then, Xuan Nan outside seemed to realize something and hurriedly left. Worried about Wang Fei’s safety at this moment, Xia Zhiqiu was too preoccupied to notice.

It wasn’t long until Xuan Nan returned with a parcel. He handed it to Xia Zhiqiu. “This is the jade pendant that was on Wuhai when I found him.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhiqiu immediately understood Xuan Nan’s intention. Without any concern for overstepping his bounds, he immediately opened the parcel, revealing a serpent-shaped jade pendant with the character ‘An’ in the middle!

A match!

Xia Zhiqiu hurriedly took a few steps forward, handed the jade pendant to Lady Rong, who was even more excited after seeing it, and she walked into the veil.

“Your Highness, the temple elder has brought the jade pendant that the prince carried with him.”

After seeing the jade pendant, Princess Ping’an became even more emotional, “Child, look, this is your jade pendant that the Emperor bestowed upon you when you were born. You are my child, Prince Ye An of Ping’an Mansion.”

The novice monk, no, Ye An, was completely stunned. This was his mother? Was he the Prince of Ping’an Mansion?

He was somewhat incredulous, then awkwardly patted Wang Fei’s back, his heart beginning to believe.

“Benefactor, could you please calm down? May I check with the Chief Monk?”

The Princess had no objections, and Ye An’s answer from Xuan Nan was extremely affirmative, “Wu Hai, you still have worldly entanglements. You may go with the Princess.”

Hearing this, the Princess cast an appreciative glance at Xuan Nan, and her impression of Jinshan Temple improved slightly.

Then Ye An, who was still dazed, was practically dragged into the horse carriage by Princess Ping’an and escorted down the mountain by the Dragon Suppression Guards.

“To all the holy monks, it was inconsiderate of me to have disturbed you like this. Due to current circumstances, I can’t stay. I will personally come up the mountain and apologize next time.”

Xia Zhiqiu gave a hurried goodbye and left. At this moment, the common people were extremely satisfied. After all, the gossip involving such big figures was exceedingly sweet.

Jinzhou City.

Lifeless Sect Headquarters.

“Elder, the Prince of Ping’an’s Mansion has found the child, but Jinshan Temple remains undamaged. If I had known this, I would have killed this child long ago.”

The Elder, unknown to the situation, responded in an inscrutable manner, “The church has its own plan concerning this matter. Today’s result is indeed a bit regrettable as Jinshan Temple has managed to avoid calamity, but the situation is still under control.

Since we already have a result, let’s put this aside for now. Don’t you dare take any reckless actions.

By the way, where is Flower Mother? Did she meet that piece of trash from the Liang Family today? Did she catch him?”

On hearing this, Flower Mother looked rather embarrassed, “Respected Elder, I indeed met Liang Sheng, but…”

The Elder, hearing her tone, sensed that something was wrong. Even though Flower Mother wasn’t strong in terms of cultivation, her contributions to the Holy Sect over the years were numerous. Could she have encountered trouble when dealing with that insignificant trash?

After Flower Mother recounted the events, the Elder was left puzzled and had no idea what had happened.

“Indeed, this matter is strange. We will have to wait for another opportunity tomorrow to find out exactly what strategies this useless thing is deploying.” “Yes!”

Shengde Building.

Sitting in the private room, Liang Sheng frowned. The appearance of Flower Mother gave him a bad premonition.

Had he been targeted by the Lifeless Sect?

In the past, Liang Sheng was entrusted with Liang Qiang’s dying requests. However, he soon discovered that Liang Qiang had been manipulated and that Flower Mother was a member of the Lifeless Sect. Since then, there had been no further involvements.

But he hadn’t expected to encounter her today. He absolutely refused to believe that this was just a coincidence. Given the Lifeless Sect’s character, they were likely planning to revisit old matters.

The only thing that could attract the attention of the Lifeless Sect was his wealth. Despite their tactics not changing over the years, their audacity was still irksome.

But in this scenario, he would need to plot carefully. The Lifeless Sect definitely won’t stop at one attempt; they would definitely have follow-up plans.

However, now that Princess Ping’an had arrived at Jinzhou City, the city was heavily guarded. Presumably, the Lifeless Sect wouldn’t dare to act out in the open.

Given this, he still had room to maneuvre, but he also needed to prepare for the consequent affairs. After all, once targeted by the Lifeless Sect, escape wouldn’t be easy.

Thinking of this, a plan began forming in Liang Sheng’s mind. This time, not only would he make the Lifeless Sect pay, but he would also seize the opportunity to break free from his shackles.

Flower Mother, you’re walking into your own grave!
