As they listened to Ah Ping and the man’s discussion, Chi Jiao and Quan Jue exchanged quick glances.
Ah Ping had lied to them.
It turned out that he was not going to participate in a funeral procession, but to carry out a worship ceremony for the Evil Deity.
But why didn’t he want them to know?
“That outsider staying in your house is very powerful. She taught Old Man Liu a lesson.” The man continued to blabber. “Ah Ping, you have to be careful of them. You can’t let outsiders know where our temple is.”
“Buddy, even I won’t be able to find the temple without you bringing me along. That temple is in the mountains, and the terrain is so complicated. Even if they know that the temple is in the mountains, they’re unlikely to find it!” Ah Ping said.
“Have you forgotten that last time a strange man entered our village and asked about the temple? He must also be coveting the divine power left behind by our Evil Deity. Who knows if this group of people will be like that strange man? Anyway, just be careful.” The man warned him.
“I understand. Thank you for your advice.” Ah Ping smiled.
When Chi Jiao and Quan Jue heard this, they looked at each other before quietly leaving.
Not far away, a crow stopped on the roof and tilted its little head to look at Chi Jiao.
As it watched them leave, a smile flashed across its beady eyes.
After returning to Ah Ping’s house, Chi Jiao brought Quan Jue back to her room.
Huo Chen and Beitang Lie knew that they had gone out to gather information. They were also waiting for them in Chi Jiao’s room.
Hearing the knock on the door, Huo Chen suddenly stood up and opened the door.
When he saw Chi Jiao and Quan Jue, Huo Chen heaved a sigh of relief. “You’re finally back. Come in.”
After they entered the room, Chi Jiao smiled and said, “Luckily, we went out today. We got some good news.”
“What good news?” Pei Yao asked.
“Ah Ping lied to us. Their village isn’t holding a funeral procession today. Instead, they’re holding a ritual to worship their Evil Deity,” Chi Jiao said with a smile. “Quan Jue and I saw their preparations with our own eyes. We heard them talking about the temple. This temple is most likely where the golden coffin is stored.”
“Where’s the temple?” Beitang Lie asked.
This was indeed good news.
“In the mountains,” Quan Jue replied indifferently.
“We can’t follow them. It’ll be troublesome if we’re discovered. So tomorrow, we’ll go up the mountain ourselves to find it,” Chi Jiao said slowly. “Go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow morning, Officer Huo, tell Ah Ping that we want to go to the mountain for sightseeing. If he wants to follow us, you must find a way to refuse.”
Huo Chen nodded.
Beitang Lie’s eyelids kept twitching. He said uneasily, “Boss, I have a bad premonition. Do you want to divine my fortune?”
Chi Jiao looked at him with a mild expression. “We’ll take action together tomorrow. What are you afraid of? Go back and rest.”
Beitang Lie rubbed his nose and left with Huo Chen.
“I’m going back to rest.” Quan Jue looked at her meaningfully. “Goodnight.”
“Goodnight..” Chi Jiao blinked her big eyes at him.
