Just as the car rounded a corner, a black sedan suddenly burst out from the side, nearly crashing into Xiao Yifeng’s car, speeding past by mere inches.
"Damn it, are they trying to kill someone?"
Xiao Yifeng couldn’t help but curse, his face expressing utter disbelief.
"Huh? Something’s not right!"
Xiao Yifeng had noticed something, instantly activating his X-ray vision.
"Sure enough, there’s an issue!"
A sharp gleam flashed in Xiao Yifeng’s eyes as he stomped on the accelerator, following the black sedan with his X-ray vision tightly locked onto it.
The black sedan sped out of the city and eventually headed straight to Mingquan Temple, where Zhang Xinlan had previously taken Xiao Yifeng.
The car stopped at the foot of Mingquan Temple, then the doors opened, and three monks carried a fainted woman swiftly toward Mingquan Temple, that woman was exactly Lan Linger, the young Miss of the Lan Family, and afterward, the black sedan also left the area.
Soon, Xiao Yifeng’s car arrived there, and he got out of the car.
Xiao Yifeng had followed because he had seen Lan Linger inside the other car, never imagining that monks from Mingquan Temple would kidnap her.
Xiao Yifeng couldn’t understand what these monks from Mingquan Temple really wanted by kidnapping a vulnerable woman.
"This temple’s master who draws upon the Power of Faith must have realized this girl with the Seven Orifices Exquisite Body is extraordinary."
Long Qian’s voice rang out.
"He knows about the Seven Orifices Exquisite Body?"
Xiao Yifeng couldn’t help but ask.
"He probably doesn’t know, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Body is a rare physique that ordinary people can hardly recognize. However, when this girl worshipped here previously, the colorful powers of her Seven Orifices Exquisite Body were absorbed by them, and they probably realized her extraordinariness from this, hence why they kidnapped her to use her for their cultivation,"
Long Qian said gravely.
"These monks are really unscrupulous to attack a girl for the sake of cultivation!"
Xiao Yifeng scoffed and headed straight up the mountain towards Mingquan Temple.
Meanwhile, at the Lan Family, the news of Lan Linger’s disappearance spread quickly.
Lan Xuande hurried out of his room, with Lan He quickly coming to his side.
"What happened? How could Ling’er disappear?"
Lan Xuande spoke solemnly.
"Earlier, a servant saw Nanny Liu take Ling’er out, I sent people to search, and they found Nanny Liu’s body, but they couldn’t find Ling’er,"
Lan He said with a heavy expression.
"There must be someone plotting against Ling’er, we must deploy all our forces to find her, and ensure no harm comes to her at any cost."
Lan Xuande issued the order with a formidable aura.
Lan He nodded and quickly left the place.
"Whoever dares to lay a hand on my granddaughter, I, Lan Xuande, will never let you off!"
Lan Xuande’s eyes hardened as he spoke sternly, his presence emanating a terrifying aura.
In another room, Lan He’s current wife and Lan Tian were sitting together.
"I wonder who targeted this girl, I hope she never comes back."
Lan He’s wife said coldly.
"Mother, don’t worry, the position of Patriarch of the Lan Family will surely be mine,"
Lan Tian said with a confident smile.
Under the cloak of night, Mingquan Temple was silent, devoid of the daytime bustle.
Behind the grand hall of Mingquan Temple, there stood several temple buildings and courtyards.
The three monks brought Lan Linger to a room deep within Mingquan Temple.
In this room, sat a monk about fifty years old, wearing a kasaya, holding Buddha beads, his face full of dignity and his head topped with nine scars from his vows. He was seated on a cushion, holding a string of Buddha beads in his hand.
"Brother, we have brought the person!"
The three monks entered the room and spoke to the seated monk, guiding Lan Linger to lie down on one side.
The monk slowly stood up from the cushion, his face solemn as he walked over to Lan Linger, sweeping her with his gaze.
"Is this the person the abbot wanted?"
The monk asked indifferently, while the three monks behind him quickly responded, "Yes, this is the girl, the Lan family’s Miss Lan Linger."
"The Lan family holds great power, and with their young mistress missing, they will certainly investigate thoroughly. It might lead them here; arrange quickly and then send her to Mingwang Temple!"
The fifty-year-old monk said in a deep voice.
The three monks nodded.
At that moment, Xiao Yifeng had stealthily approached outside the room, overhearing the monks’ conversation, he thought to himself with suspicion.
Soon, the three monks and the fifty-year-old monk left the room and the courtyard.
Xiao Yifeng took this chance to sneak into the room, scanned it quickly, and saw Lan Linger lying on the bed. He walked over to her immediately.
Xiao Yifeng checked Lan Linger’s body, then waved a Silver Needle and inserted it into her.
Shortly, Lan Linger made a soft moan, her eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly woke up.
"Miss Lan, are you awake?"
Xiao Yifeng asked as he looked at Lan Linger.
Lan Linger looked at Xiao Yifeng, suddenly recalling having seen him earlier in the great hall at Mingquan Temple.
Lan Linger looked around, her expression slightly changing, showing a hint of nervousness.
"You are in Mingquan Temple, you were abducted here by the monks."
Xiao Yifeng explained.
"I remember now, I was deceived out of the Lan family by my nanny, then three monks appeared, killed her directly, and then I fainted."
Lan Linger spoke gravely.
"It seems they had planned this in advance!"
Xiao Yifeng said lightly, his eyes sparkling.
"Why would they do this? Aren’t they good people?"
Lan Linger looked at Xiao Yifeng with a puzzled face.
"Good people? You’re too naive. There aren’t so many good people in this world. Don’t think that monks are necessarily good."
Xiao Yifeng scoffed coldly, disdain flashing in his eyes, then continued, "Anyway, let’s not talk about this now. I’ll get you out of here first."
Lan Linger looked at Xiao Yifeng with a grateful expression in her eyes.
Xiao Yifeng grabbed Lan Linger’s delicate hand, which tensed slightly, her fair face flushing, but she did not struggle.
The two left the room, and just as they were about to quietly leave Mingquan Temple, suddenly a loud shouting voice erupted.
