"Could the passerby and the calamity star Zhou Yao mentioned actually be the same one? Such a coincidence?"
"If that person was the calamity star, did that mean the calamity star was a demon?"
"A Great Demon had come to the Capital City—what was it after? Could it affect the court?"
"Prince Qi had always colluded with the Demon Race. Could this mysterious Great Demon also belong to the Prince Qi Faction?"
Delivered together with the portrait into Su Ziji's hands was a piece of intelligence. There was not much to it, only a few scant lines detailing when it had arrived in the Capital City and where it had gone now.
"Clear Garden Temple?" Looking at the familiar name, Su Ziji felt the unease in his heart grow stronger.
Clear Garden Temple was no ordinary temple. It was where Bianxuan resided, and from Bianxuan's standing within the Brahma Sect, one could see Clear Garden Temple's status.
This Great Demon was actually connected to Clear Garden Temple. Could it be that Clear Garden Temple, too, intended to intervene in the struggle for the heir and aid Prince Qi?
As Su Ziji considered this, he abruptly rose to his feet and ordered without further discussion, "Since that's the case, we'll go to Clear Garden Temple at once!"
"Chirp chirp!" Little Fox suddenly darted to Su Ziji's feet and raised her head, crying out twice.
"You want to go out?" Su Ziji was far more familiar with her now. Lowering his gaze, he asked her.
"Chirp chirp!"
"Then come with me. But I'm going to Clear Garden Temple, and you can only stay outside, understand?" He gestured for Little Fox to jump into his arms, then carried her toward the carriage as he quietly instructed, "Don't let the monks inside notice you."
