The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer

Chapter 1997 - 171: Pilgrimage to the Mountain Temple

It was precisely because she noticed this detail that Dong Huiying thoughtfully returned to her room. She allowed Yixuan to climb onto the roof alone but still felt worried inside. Thus, that night, not only did Yixuan stay awake, but Dong Huiying also stayed up until dawn.

Now, the two of them exchanged glances, seeing the dark circles under each other’s eyes. After a moment of speechlessness, they couldn’t help but smile simultaneously.

"Look at your clothes, they’re all wrinkled. Hurry up and change them, then we can have breakfast."

Dong Huiying nudged Yixuan’s shoulder, urging him.

Yixuan chuckled lightly and then promptly followed Dong Huiying’s instructions.

However, just as Yixuan changed his clothes and came out of the room, he saw the dishes already laid out.

He was about to pick up the chopsticks when suddenly he noticed a man wearing a Silver Mask appearing in the courtyard.

The man approached Yixuan immediately.

"Master, there’s news from the Qin family."

The visitor presented a letter.

The envelope was earth yellow, with flamboyant handwriting.

Dong Huiying glanced at the man wearing the Silver Mask, then leaned closer to Yixuan, and together they looked at the letter.

The two recognized the handwriting on the envelope.

"Why is it a letter from Yue Ning?"

Dong Huiying looked puzzled.

Yixuan replied, "I’ve left some people from the Moon Palace behind to follow Fifth Brother’s orders. Perhaps something happened, and that’s why Fifth Brother sent a letter to me."

As Yixuan spoke, he opened the envelope and pulled out the letter inside. Unfolding the letter, he found the words were brief.

Liang Yuening’s letter was unlike others with flowery prose, instead opting for straightforward language.

The letter stated that after dawn today, Third Elder hurriedly left.

Liang Yuening thought Third Elder was suspicious, so he secretly followed, while writing this letter to notify Yixuan through the Moon Palace.

After reading the letter, Yixuan instinctively exchanged a glance with Dong Huiying.

He didn’t know when it started, but his wife gradually became his backbone.

The so-called backbone didn’t depend on how capable or competent the other was.

It was simply because, in Yixuan’s heart, his wife was different. As long as he could see her, as long as he was by her side, he felt incredibly secure and his mind was at peace.

Perhaps his wife was his spiritual support.

Yixuan thought to himself.

...

Due to the unexpected letter, Dong Huiying felt a bit worried. So she quickly packed breakfast, and she and Yixuan mounted their horses, carrying the still-warm breakfast.

The two galloped swiftly towards the outskirts because according to the Moon Palace feedback, earlier, Third Elder quietly left the city, with Liang Yuening secretly following him.

Dong Huiying and Liang Yixuan followed the markers but gradually, as they walked, Dong Huiying became more confused.

"Why would Third Elder sneak out of the city so early in the morning, just to pray at the temple?"

This road led directly to Mount Dragon Burial.

There was a temple and a Nun’s Cottage on the mountain, and the outlines of the temple were already visible.

The bell of the Ancient Temple rang from the temple.

Dust smoky, clouds misty, the bell sounded majestic, with inherent Buddhist solemnity and gravity.

But Dong Huiying couldn’t understand what exactly Third Elder was doing here?

Typically, even if one wanted to burn incense and pray, it shouldn’t be so early in the morning, at least wait another four hours, right?
