What If I Can't Die? Chapter 315 - 315 Princess Wu Xi (1)

Chapter 315 - 315 Princess Wu Xi (1)

315 Princess Wu Xi (1)

When Song s.h.i.+ learned about the situation through the Thousand Faces, the entire Imperial City had leapt into action.

A large number of troops were mobilized to help track down the mole. An hour later, someone came to the Guest Welcoming Hall.

The leader was afraid of Venerable Sheng Ming and did not dare to enter to search. After asking the palace maids and eunuchs and learning that these guests were very quiet, he returned to report.

Half a day later, a group of people arrived at the door. The leader had bright eyes, white teeth, and a n.o.ble temperament. Her red lips parted slightly. “Venerable Sheng Ming, Senior Brother Chen, Princess Wuxi has come to pay her respects.”

In the palace, Song s.h.i.+ opened his eyes. “They still came. Did they find any clues or is it to do a routine check?”

“Wuxi is Emperor Qian’s most doted on and most outstanding daughter. She’s very good at reading people’s hearts. Young Master, it’s best if you don’t speak too much.”

After Thousand Faces reminded them, he hurriedly retreated. Bai Yu’er thought for a moment and did not stay as well.

Song s.h.i.+ stood up and walked out of the palace. His eyes lit up.

A tall and slender woman wearing a tight-fitting silver silk dress walked over.

Her entire body seemed to be glowing. She could be said to be a peerless beauty as she stood elegantly.

Under the sunlight, her skin and bones were crystal clear. Her face was exquisite and flawless. Her beauty was enough to make the sun and moon lose their color.

“No wonder you’re called Wuxi. Princess, when you stand here, even the sunlight seems dim”

Song s.h.i.+ praised her. If Bai Xiaoqin was a pretty girl from a humble family, she would give people a sense of closeness. Liu Ruxue was cold like a snow lotus flower, and there was a hint of immortality in her white jade charm. Lu Youyou was a little eccentric, and Chen Yiling was full of heroic spirit. Then, this woman was especially sunny and n.o.ble, making people look up to her.

“I didn’t expect Senior Brother Chen to have such a sweet mouth. I thought that Senior Brother was a solemn person who cultivated Buddhism all year round.”

Wu Xi had a smile on her pretty face as she walked over with light steps. The emerald jade hairpin on her beautiful hair swayed with golden beads as she walked over with a faint fragrance.

Song s.h.i.+ knew that he would expose himself sooner or later, so he followed his heart. “Cultivating Buddhism is not like reading a dead book. Besides, Buddhism emphasizes on fate. When we meet someone fated, we naturally have a glib tongue.”

“Senior Brother Chen is really interesting.”

Wu Xi pursed her lips and smiled. Her bright eyes swept across the surroundings without a trace and she said with a smile, “Senior Brother and Venerable Sheng Ming, are you used to living here?”

“I haven’t met any fated person for a few days. I’m not used to it.”

Song s.h.i.+ was complaining.

Wu Xi felt strange. Why did she feel that this guy was so indecent? Was this the standard of all the descendants of Sand Country?

She took a few more glances at Song s.h.i.+, “Senior Brother Chen doesn’t give Wuxi the feeling of a monk at all.”

“It’s called returning to my basic instinct.”

Song s.h.i.+ pressed his palms together, “Amitabha. Is this the only way to look like a monk?”

Wu Xi felt that this person was more and more indecent. Her beautiful eyes swirled. “Anyone would say that. The key is whether the Buddhist Dharma is profound or not. Coincidentally, I have no time to study the Buddhist Dharma. I have to discuss it with Senior Brother Chen later.”

Song s.h.i.+ was secretly speechless. What did he know about bullsh*t Buddhist Dharma? If they really discussed it, he would definitely be exposed.

But he couldn’t refuse, so he could only nod, “No problem, I’ve been studying the Six Paths of Reincarnation recently, and I want to discuss it with others.”

“Six Paths Reincarnation? Senior Brother Chen’s research is very deep.”

Wu Xi praised, “Before that, I wonder if I can pay my respects to Venerable Sheng Ming? I don’t want to be rude.”

“Sure, Master is here.”

Song s.h.i.+ led Wuxi to another room in case the other party noticed that Thousand Faces was inside.

Wu Xi took a deep look at the room and did not force her way in. She would have plenty of time to discuss the Buddhist Dharma later.

She followed Song s.h.i.+ to visit Venerable Sheng Ming.

“I still don’t know why Senior Brother Chen and the others have come to the Qian Nation. Father and the others are currently in seclusion to break through. I’m afraid they won’t be able to receive you for a while.”

Wu Xi began to inquire.

Song s.h.i.+ casually made up a story. “We came here this time to form a marriage alliance with your country. I think you’re not bad. When we meet Emperor Qian, we’ll choose you, Princess Wuxi.”

“…”

Wu Xi was silent. How did she manage to cause trouble for herself?

“Princess Wuxi, do you mind if I’m a monk? You don’t have to worry. The successor of Sand Country is required to get married and have children.”

Song s.h.i.+ teased.

Wu Xi smiled awkwardly. “No, I have to listen to my father’s arrangements. I can’t make the decision by myself.”

She was a little fl.u.s.tered. If a Venerable came to propose marriage personally, there was a high chance that she would be sent away by her father for a marriage alliance.

How could a woman like her be calm about this kind of relations.h.i.+p for the rest of her life? Unknowingly, Song s.h.i.+ had disrupted her plans and disturbed her thoughts.

“Master, Princess Wuxi wishes to pay her respects to you.”

Song s.h.i.+ said to the room.

“Come in.”

Venerable Sheng Ming had no choice but to cooperate with Song s.h.i.+’s act. He pretended to sit on the mat and accept Princess Wu Xi’s greeting.

After interacting with him and confirming that he was really the abbot of the Sand Country’s Great Light Temple, she panicked even more.

After the greeting, Song s.h.i.+ invited, “Since Princess Wuxi is interested in Buddhism, why don’t you come to my room and discuss it in detail?”

“This… I remember that I still have some matters to attend to. How about I come back to look for Senior Brother after I’m done with them?”

At this moment, Wu Xi was no longer in the mood to discuss Buddhism. She wanted to go and have some peace.

“Then come back when you have time.”

Song s.h.i.+ watched as Princess Wuxi left. Some experts who had secretly come over also retracted their gazes and retreated one after another.

“I haven’t found anything yet, but I can’t hide for long. I have to act as soon as possible.”

Song s.h.i.+ walked back to his room and formed a seal to inspect the Array Formation. Then, his expression changed. “The changes in the Array Formation are huge. It will take time to crack it again.”

Thousand Faces had taken the prisoners away from the Heavenly Prison, alarming the higher-ups of the country. They were reorganizing everything inside and outside.

Song s.h.i.+ became much more careful this time. He reckoned that the person in charge of the array would not be bad. He could not risk failing miserably this time.

On the other side, Wu Xi took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

She frowned and pondered. “That’s strange. Our country doesn’t have a tradition of marriage alliances with Sand Country. Why is there no sign of this matter at all? Why did they propose it so unilaterally?”

Her expression changed as she looked somewhere, “Father and the others are busy refining Numinous treasures and there’s a problem in the Heavenly Prison. It’s better not to concern them with this for the time being.”

Her expression gradually restored to normal and she said, “Pay more attention to them recently. Although we haven’t discovered anything for the time being, something happened to the Heavenly Prison as soon as they arrived. We have to be careful.”

“Yes, Princess.”

A voice answered in secret, but the owner was nowhere to be seen.

In the room, Bai Yu’er walked out, “Young Master, there are many spies outside. Will we be discovered if we activate the Array Formation now?”

“It’s fine. I’ve already have some methods from breaking the array previously. Even if the Array Formation has changed, it won’t be difficult to break it again. As long as they don’t come in, it’ll be very difficult for them to discover us.”

“It is Yu’er who was overthinking.” When Bai Yu’er saw Song s.h.i.+’s confidence, she chuckled and quietly observed the array formation.

Two days later, Song s.h.i.+’s eyes lit up. “It’s done. Some time has pa.s.sed, and the Heavenly Prison should have calmed down a little. Let’s go again and bring Thousand Faces along.”

In the corner, Thousand Faces, who had been frozen into ice, was thawed. He said bitterly, “Can you not do this next time? You make me look like a criminal and instead of working with you.”
