The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

Ling Xi did not dare to think about it, because once tomorrow arrived, Murong Yue would leave the Imperial City.

As Mu Ru Yue's confidante, she didn't hide this matter from him.

Once the wangfei left the Imperial City, she would be the only one who would come here to trade. Those people weren't simple. If she was the only one, what could possibly go wrong with her?

Ling Xi didn't dare to take the risk.

In this matter, she wished for a 100% guarantee.

What Ling Xi had mentioned was also what Murong Yue was worried about. It was one thing if the other party did not have any intentions. However, if the other party truly had the intention of cheating them, then Ling Xi's concerned and disorderly attitude would inevitably lead to a loss.

"Wait a little longer." Mu Ru Yue suppressed the worry in her heart as she said that calmly. At this moment, if she were to lose her cool, wouldn't Ling Xi become even more chaotic?

Ling Xi felt slightly more at ease with Murong Yue's instructions. She looked up and continued to wait.

Just like this, another quarter of an hour passed. The upper management remained silent. Mu Ru Yue frowned. "From the looks of it, he seems to be hesitating? Or was there something that got in his way? "

"Princess, what should we do?" Ling Xi started to panic. She couldn't ask Mu Ru Yue to stay in the Imperial City for her grandfather's matter. Mu Ru Yue rarely hid anything from her, and with the added news, she knew what was happening in the south.

It was already benevolent of her to remain here. If she asked for anything else, it would be a step closer to victory. Thinking like this, Ling Xi also suppressed the urge to make a request.

And just as Ling Xi was panicking in her heart, she heard a sound, "Meow …"

It was not loud.

"Where did this wild cat come from?" Mu Ru Yue raised her brows.

Just as she finished speaking, a black kitten jumped down from the mountain path and squatted in front of Mu Ru Yue. It looked at her with its pair of golden eyes. "Meow …"

"Princess, who is this cat?" Ling Xi curiously looked at the cat. Ye Zichen pointed at a golden gourd that was tied around the black cat's neck. Then she looked at Mu Ru Yue with an expression that seemed to ask for something.

Mu Ru Yue nodded her head as well, gesturing for Ling Xi to go and pick the gourd. After Ling Xi had plucked the gourd, the little black cat that was previously well-behaved suddenly jumped away. They once more returned to the mountain.

How could Mu Ru Yue not understand now?

This cat was probably here to deliver the gourd. Ye Zichen opened the gourd and saw two words written on it: Yue Lao.

"This... Is it Yue Lao Shrine? " Ling Xi guessed.

"It should be. However, the other party was quite careful. They don't even use fireworks anymore and only used a cat. " However, that cat was very cute!

Mu Ru Yue thought.

"Yeah, this person contacted me many times. Until now, I don't even know what kind of person he is, whether he's a man or a woman." Ling Xi echoed. He was curious about the other party's existence.

However, this was not the time to be curious about him.

"No matter who it is, as long as we go up the mountain, we will naturally know." "Let's go." Mu Ru Yue walked up the mountain path as she spoke. In the mountains, there were many banyan trees.

Therefore, the mountain path was a little difficult to walk on.

Ling Xi followed beside Murong Yue. One of them looked to the left, while the other looked to the right. The exposed roots of the banyan trees formed something like the ground. On the ground, there were quite a few abandoned shrines.

Some of the statues in the temple even fell out. It looked very strange.

But even so, there were still some offerings beside these deities.

"I really didn't expect this … Such a scene actually happened in Bai Jingshan. "I had thought that Mount Baijing would be more prosperous." At the side, Ling Xi spoke with some regret.

Looking at the things here, he was somewhat disappointed. However, it was only for a moment.

At this moment, she was still more concerned about finding Yue Lao's shrine.

"Naturally, the things left behind by the previous dynasty would not be taken seriously by the Emperor of Yue. The reason why they were left here was probably because the Emperor was afraid of being punished by the heavens." Mu Ru Yue asked coldly.

However, he had to admit that everything that happened here was extremely shocking.

At this moment, she finally understood why the other party would want to trade at this place. There were many temples here, and even though it was dilapidated, it was impossible for others to find it if they hid within it.

Since the other party was trading here, they could attack and defend. No matter what, he could put himself in a safe place. He had to admit that the other party was indeed a smart person.

Mu Ru Yue thought and couldn't help but sigh. From the looks of it, it was going to be difficult for them.

The temple's location was extremely hard to find. Murong Yue and Ling Xi had walked for nearly an hour on Mount Whitesnow, but they still hadn't found the Moon God Hall. This made Ling Xi a bit anxious.

"Princess, could it be that we've taken the wrong path?" Ling Xi couldn't help but ask as she looked at Murong Yue. When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she was a little stunned. She looked around and shook her head. "I don't think so. If we went the wrong way, how could that cat appear in front of us?

Furthermore … In my opinion, the other side might be watching us from all around. "Be patient." Mu Ru Yue continued to dig at the surrounding grass as she spoke, searching for traces of Yue Lao's shrine.

Although Ling Xi was a little worried that she had chosen the wrong path, she definitely wouldn't disobey Murong Yue's words. Thus, she nodded her head and chose to trust Murong Yue as she continued her search.

"Wangfei, take a look!"

After approximately half an hour of searching, Ling Xi called out to Murong Yue. When Murong Yue heard this, she walked towards her direction and saw a signboard beneath a banyan tree. The signboard was inscribed with the three words' Yue Lao Shrine '.

However, other than the signboard, there was nothing else.

No temples, no idols.

"Esteemed wangfei, your servant will go take a look." Looking at the idol, Ling Xi gritted her teeth as she spoke first. When Murong Yue heard this, she looked at Ling Xi with some surprise. After pondering for a moment, she nodded and said, "Alright."

As she finished speaking, Ling Xi was already walking in the direction of the Yue Lao Shrine's signboard. However, before she could reach the bottom of the signboard, she suddenly saw the ground beneath Ling Xi's feet collapse.

"Be careful!" When Mu Ru Yue saw that Ling Xi was about to fall, she hastily tried to stop her. But in the next second, even the ground beneath her feet had already collapsed. The two of them fell into a huge pit beside Yue Lao's shrine.

The pit was about three meters deep, and Ling Xi and Murong Yue fell into the dry grass at the bottom. Ling Xi was a little flustered. She crawled up from the ground and worriedly asked, "Esteemed wangfei, are you alright?"

The hole was dark, making it difficult to see the situation clearly.

Mu Ru Yue lit up the fire piston she brought with her.

What entered her eyes was Ling Xi's face, which was full of worry. Murong Yue looked around, then said calmly to Ling Xi, "It's fine, what about you? Are you hurt? "

"No, this is a field of hay, and we seem to have fallen on it. Princess, where are we? " Ling Xi asked in a slightly flustered manner.

Mu Ru Yue got up from the hay and looked at her surroundings. There was a hole as big as a hundred square meters. If she headed forward, it would lead her to a turning point.

It was as if this place had been built.

And it shouldn't be a coincidence that she and Ling Xi fell here. Thinking this way, Murong Yue didn't respond to Ling Xi's question. She walked towards a corner within the cave and turned around. What entered her eyes was a small memorial archway.

There were a few words on the memorial hall: Yue Lao's Ancestral Hall.

These four words made Murong Yue feel a bit more at ease. It seemed that their fall had been planned by the other party. She had deliberately chosen this place.

However, what was surprising was that Yue Lao's shrine was actually underground.

"Princess, should we go in?" At this moment, Ling Xi had already followed over. When she saw the words' Yue Lao's Ancestral Hall ', Ling Xi was stunned. However, it was already dark, and the cave was too strange, causing her to be a little unsure as to whether Murong Yue wanted to follow them in.
