Appointment At The Duke's Residence

Su Ying quickly stopped her breathing and stepped forward to kick the incense burner to the ground.

Whump! The incense ashes from the incense burner poured out, sending a large cloud of dust into the air.

Su Ying led the guards to the entrance, but she found that the temple's main door was shut and locked from the outside.

Su Ying turned around and saw the young monk running towards the back courtyard. She went after him in hot pursuit without hesitation.

Su Ying ran after the young monk but lost sight of him.

She searched the surrounding. This should be the rear meditation hall of the temple. There was a row of empty rooms inside, but there was no movement at all.

She picked up a stone from the ground and threw it forcefully at the window of one of the meditation rooms.

Pow! The stone smashed through the wooden window and crashed to the ground. Soon, there was no more movement.
