And there were only one hundred Elite Guards!
"What, you won’t obey my orders?" Zhou Yunshen asked indifferently.
Teng Fei shook his head, "Your subordinate wouldn’t dare!"
"Since you wouldn’t dare, go give the orders!"
Yun Jinnian, he was determined to have her.
No matter what it took.
Teng Fei looked on, took a deep breath, "Yes!" He replied, then turned to give the orders.
But his heart was filled with sighs.
It was just about Miss Yun the Fourth, was she really worth all this trouble?
Yes, Miss Yun was beautiful, as stunning as a celestial being, with unparalleled medical skills, unmatched under the heavens. However, she didn’t harbor any feelings for his master.
That was the crux of the matter!
For several days in a row, Yun Jinnian first followed Abbot Wuxin to do morning Sutras, then went to feel Zhou Yunshen’s pulse, and afterwards returned to accompany Chu Yu.
As one was healing, Yun Jinnian helped copy those tattered Sutras, with Chu Yu grinding the ink on the side; their days were truly comfortable and pleasant.

Once Dai Hanmi learned that Yun Jinnian had gone to Huguo Temple, she kept urging Dai Hanbo to go to the temple.
Dai Hanbo held a book, his mind already wandering far away.
"Big brother, are you going or not?" Dai Hanmi asked eagerly.
Dai Hanbo came back to his senses, looked at Dai Hanmi, "If I go, I’ll bring troubles to Jinnian. If I don’t go, I can’t go either!"
Dai Hanmi held her forehead.
Her foolish big brother!
"Big brother, don’t blame me for not reminding you in the future. To like someone, if you’re not proactive, you’ll regret it for a lifetime. Moreover, Jinnian isn’t someone who would take the initiative. If you’re not more proactive, be careful that she might be wooed away by someone else!"
The thought of Yun Jinnian marrying someone else caused Dai Hanbo profound heartache.
It made him feel terrible.
"But, but, if I take the initiative and she still doesn’t like me, and I end up troubling her, what should I do?"
Indecisiveness plagued him.
Dai Hanmi took a deep breath, and then another deep breath, "Then you decide whether or not to go to Huguo Temple. If you do go, I’ll accompany you. With me there, you’ll definitely get to see Jinnian. More encounters might just make things work out!"
Having said that, she no longer paid attention to Dai Hanbo and clomped away to play.
Dai Hanmi was smart and knew that being a daughter was different from being a daughter-in-law. Besides, the Dai Family had a reputation for integrity, and the men did not take concubines. But how many men in the world could be like the Dai Family men?
So she might as well laugh freely while she could, create as much ruckus as she pleased.
Her family would pamper her, in the future...
She truly wished she could remain unmarried forever, stay at home, and be the darling of her parents.
After pondering for a while, Dai Hanbo thought there was reason in what Dai Hanmi said. He immediately stood up and went to chase after her.
But he saw Dai Hanmi laughing unrestrainedly in the garden, and he too started smiling, "Little sister!"
"Let’s go to Huguo Temple together!" he said.
Dai Hanmi covered her mouth and chuckled, "That’s more like it. Wait for me, I’ll go tell grandmother. We can pretend to go to offer incense and prayers for grandmother and have an accidental encounter. I’ll stay with Jinnian, and you’ll have your chance!"
Dai Hanmi hopped and skipped away to find the Old Lady Dai, while Dai Hanbo looked on with a warm heart.
He truly hoped his little sister would always be this happy and joyous.
When Old Lady Dai heard that Dai Hanmi and Dai Hanbo wanted to go to Huguo Temple, she was slightly taken aback, "Why suddenly go to Huguo Temple? It’s been raining these past few days!"
Dai Hanmi whispered a few words into Old Lady Dai’s ear, and Old Lady Dai laughed, "I see. Then go, make sure you’re well-prepared. Bring enough things, and even more importantly, don’t skimp on attendants. You must go safely, and return safely!"
