Everyone looked in the direction of the familiar voice, and when they saw that it was indeed Shuyan, they were overjoyed and excited, especially Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Xu Tong. They couldn’t wait to jump up in excitement. Now that Master Chi was here, they had their pillar of support – there was no need to accept the True Buddha Lord.

Ruan Shenglin, who had almost accepted the True Buddha Lord, let out an explosive sigh of relief. He looked at Chi Shuyan and smiled sincerely.

The gloomy atmosphere changed and the group greeted Master Chi with smiles. Feng Yuanlin’s face also softened a lot. He walked over to Shuyan first. Without waiting for Brother Feng to speak, Chi Shuyan said, “I went out for a while just now and thought you guys had gone somewhere. It turns out you were with Village Chief Pan. Why didn’t you tell me?”

At the mention of ‘Village Chief Pan,’ Chi Shuyan’s eyes fell on the angry and cold middle-aged man not far away. This time, she sized him up more carefully, especially now that she knew that the middle-aged man in front of her wasn’t the real ‘Pan Dalei.’ Her gaze was indiscernible, but a little sharp. Her eyes swept over the setup in the living room as she sized it up calmly.

“What did you say?”

Pan Dalei did know that someone had broken into the temple and provoked the True Buddha Lord, but he had never thought that anyone could hurt the True Buddha Lord.

He hadn’t cared earlier because he had long treated that person as dead.

He hadn’t taken it seriously, but not long after, a villager came in and quickly whispered something in his ear.

Chi Shuyan listened carefully and clearly heard the other party say that the True Buddha Lord was injured, and her lips curled up a cold smile.

As soon as the villager said the words, ‘Pan Dalei’s’ face completely changed. He had no time to make these people in front of him invite in the True Buddha Lord anymore. He turned around and was about to rush out, but then he looked back at Feng Yuanlin and the others – they could see that his expression was very indignant, and inexplicably cold and ugly. Unexpectedly, he wanted them to accept the True Buddha Lord right now before he left.

Feng Yuanlin immediately found an excuse to refuse, and took the initiative to say in an understanding tone, “Village Chief Pan, since you have something urgent to attend to, why don’t we come over tomorrow morning to accept the True Buddha Lord?”

As soon as he said that, ‘Pan Dalei’s’ eyes turned even colder and uglier as he stared fixedly at them for a long time.

This gaze gave Yang Kun, Ruan Shenglin, and Wu Haoming goosebumps all over their bodies. They originally wanted to speak up for Director Feng, but they obediently shut up. Village Chief Pan’s gaze was really too evil.

Chi Shuyan feigned curiosity and suddenly asked, “Village Chief Pan, is there really a True Buddha Lord in the village temple? The True Buddha Lord really manifested? By the way, when I came over just now, I heard a strange scream…”

As soon as Chi Shuyan said that, ‘Pan Dalei’ didn’t stay any longer. This time, he didn’t say much, but replied to Brother Feng and said that they would do the ceremony tomorrow. A cold expression flashed across his face, but he quickly recovered his previous kind and amiable smile. He didn’t answer Chi Shuyan’s question directly, but found an excuse to leave in a hurry.

Feng Yuanlin and the others had just sighed with relief, when ‘Pan Dalei’, who had only taken a few steps, suddenly turned his head and stared fiercely at Xu Tong’s stomach. He quickly shifted his gaze to Ruan Shenglin, who was standing next to her, and a strange, gloating smile flashed across his face.

Xu Tong was very sensitive to begin with, so she could immediately sense someone looking at her. So, when she saw Village Chief Pan not far away suddenly staring maliciously at her stomach, her heart thumped and a chill ran down her spine. Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun also happened to catch Village Chief Pan staring at Xu Tong’s stomach. Their faces turned pale and they inexplicably felt very uneasy.

Chi Shuyan took in Village Chief Pan’s strange gaze; however, she was more curious about the reason for his cold, gloating smile when he stared at Ruan Shenglin.

She felt that she was missing something.

Chi Shuyan pondered for a moment, then looked a few more times at Ruan Shenglin, but couldn’t see anything. She could only walk over and pat Ruan Shenglin and his wife on the shoulder, then Yang Kun. Only then did their complexions improve.

“Let’s go!”

“Master Chi, you’re finally back? Shenglin almost… accepted that thing!” Yang Kun wasn’t done being agitated. God knew how desperate they had been just now. If it wasn’t for the fact that Master Chi was a girl, he would have rushed over and hugged her fiercely.

It wasn’t just Yang Kun. When Ruan Shenglin and Xu Tong saw Chi Shuyan, they were so excited that they almost cried.

Feng Yuanlin, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan knew that Master Chi had gone to the temple earlier. Seeing that she had returned safely, they were happy and relieved.

Feng Yuanlin was sharp. He was still thinking about what Shuyan had said to Pan Dalei about something happening to the True Buddha Lord and about a scream. In addition, Pan Dalei had left in a hurry, so something big had probably happened.

He wanted to ask Shuyan what she had encountered at the temple, but this obviously wasn’t a good time to ask. It was better to go back to their accommodations first.

Wu Haoming was also very curious about the scream and the True Buddha Lord, but he and Director Feng knew that this wasn’t a good place to discuss the matter. Xiao Shan, on the other hand, couldn’t help but be curious. He forgot the occasion and immediately asked earnestly, “Sister… Sister-in-law, you went to the temple…”

Before he could finish speaking, he was immediately interrupted by the shrewd Wu Haoming. When Xiao Shan saw Director Feng’s sharp gaze, he immediately realized that this wasn’t a good place to say anything. He immediately shut up obediently and scratched the back of his head in apology.

They didn’t want to stay here any longer, and were ready to listen to Master Chi and leave immediately.

When everyone left, no one saw a black mist suddenly surge out of the shattered fragments of the True Buddha Lord on the ground. The black mist twisted into a strange shape, and soon, the fragments were gradually pieced back together and took shape.

Chi Shuyan was at the back and had sharp ears. She paused. “Wait!”
