Chapter 160: Chapter 160 Snow Ganoderma May Have Appeared

Haunted?

Yan Lian’s complexion drastically changed upon hearing this, and he quickly stepped back.

"Prince, what’s wrong with you?"

Jian Yun hurried over and steadied him.

"No, I was just startled, that’s all," Yan Lian said awkwardly.

He had been afraid of ghosts and monsters since he was young.

"You just said that the temple nearby is haunted?" Jian Yun looked at the servant curiously.

"Yes, yes, Miss Jiang, you should stay away," the servant nodded hastily.

"I don’t believe in such things, there are no supernatural entities in this world. If there are, it’s just people causing trouble," Jian Yun firmly stated.

"No, it’s not that, Miss Jiang, it’s true," the servant was nearly in a panic.

At that moment, Yan Lin spoke indifferently, "Why do the villagers nearby show such reverence for those temples when I asked about them?"

Upon hearing this, the servant’s face darkened.

Grabbing his hair and taking a deep breath to steady his mind, he slowly began, "Over the years, Jiangnan has become prosperous and more people have money. Their reverence has waned, and many temples have been abandoned..."

"Jiangnan has not seen rain for a long time. Such bizarre occurrences indicate that we have angered the gods. The temples in the city are still alright, but those outside... at night, eerie winds blow, and occasionally, strange cries are heard from inside. Worse yet, those who enter the temple, if not injured, simply vanish..."

"People say that we have disrespected the deities, so the spirits have driven the gods away. The villagers kneel outside the temples whenever possible, hoping to bring our gods back. But entering those temples... that is absolutely forbidden."

"So, my elder brother was mysteriously injured because he went in there?" Yan Lian muttered, stroking his chin.

But no sooner had he mumbled this than Yan Lin swept him with a frosty glance.

"Big brother was hurt by people from Siminghui. You should read fewer storybooks, so you don’t scare yourself."

"Did you visit Siminghui today, my Lord?" the servant asked curiously.

"Mm. How do the people of Jiangnan view Siminghui?" Yan Lin asked somberly.

"Well, it’s a mix of love and hate," the servant spoke under his breath.

Love and hate?

Yan Lin and Yan Lian exchanged glances, a trace of suspicion flashing in their eyes.

"Why would you like them when Siminghui monopolized your water source and forced you to pay? They’re clearly coercing you," Yan Lian asked bluntly.

"We never know when it will rain again; there’s only so much drinkable water in Jiangnan. If it wasn’t strictly managed, the water would have been gone long ago. Siminghui conserved the water, which has allowed us to survive," continued the servant.

"Hmm... that seems somewhat reasonable," Yan Lian found himself convinced.

Hearing this, Yan Lin let out a cold snort, "You really think it makes sense? I fear you’ve been brainwashed."

"Prince Nine, Prince Eight is right. If Siminghui really cared for the people, they could have distributed the water regularly and fairly, not by selling it," Jian Yun slowly interjected.

"Right." Yan Lian slapped his forehead as if he’d nearly missed the point.

"Ahh? But Princess Chunjing really supports Siminghui," the servant said, frantically grabbing his hair.

The aunt supports Siminghui’s actions?

A chill flashed across Yan Lin’s eyes.

It seemed he would need to find an opportunity to visit Princess Chunjing Residence.

"Do you know where Siminghui’s base is?" Yan Lin continued to question the servant coldly.

"This... my Lord, I don’t know either. They seem omnipotent, appearing only when the villagers fetch water in the morning, otherwise remaining unseen. But if someone dares to steal water, they appear out of nowhere to stop them," the servant explained, swallowing nervously.

Appear out of nowhere?

How strange.

Yan Lian’s expression became tense once again.

"There must be people with special abilities in Siminghui," Chu Baihan said coldly as she walked through the door at that moment.

Their voices were not quiet, and she could hear them clearly from inside the room.

"How is Big Brother doing?" Yan Lin asked solemnly.

Chu Baihan massaged her sore wrist and, when she looked up, her eyes shimmered with a cold light.

"Just now in the underground tunnel, I was in a rush and neglected a careful examination, thus overlooking the poison in King Yan Chen’s wound. If it hadn’t been for our timely return, I fear he might have lost his life."

The audacity of Siminghui’s villains to use poison on the crown prince.

This Siminghui must be destroyed!

Yan Lin’s expression grew colder.

"How many more hours until dawn?" Chu Baihan suddenly turned and asked Ziwu this question.

"Reporting to Princess, there’s about half an hour remaining," Ziwu quickly bowed and answered.

"Good, there’s no need to sleep then. Get ready, and let’s visit Princess Chunjing’s Residence at dawn."

Chu Baihan spoke indifferently.

What does he want to do?

Yan Lin pursed his lips as his eyes darkened.

On the other hand, Chu Baihan withdrew her gaze, hiding the coldness in her eyes.

Just moments ago, she had found leaves of the Snow Ganoderma on Yan Chen’s clothes.

This Siminghui might be related to Snow Ganoderma.

But going to Siminghui to investigate rashly might alert them.

In that case, let’s visit the Princess Chunjing who supports Siminghui.

...

Dawn had barely broken.

Chu Baihan and her company arrived at the entrance of the Princess Residence.

"Who is it, so early in the morning?" A servant from the Princess Chunjing Residence unhappily opened the door.

Seeing the unfamiliar faces of Yan Lin and his companions, they waved their hands dismissively and said, "Do you know whose door you are knocking on? Get going, get going. Otherwise, if we catch you, there will be no good end."

"You..."

Yan Lian was angered and was about to scold the other party.

But at that moment, Chu Baihan pulled on his shoulder and drew him back.

"We are here to deliver water," she said gently.

"Ah, it’s the people from Siminghui. Thank you for your hard work," the servant said, his attitude immediately becoming respectful.

"However, isn’t it always Manager Zhang and his team who deliver the water? Why..."

The servants of the Princess Residence grew suspicious.

But Chu Baihan had already prepared an excuse, "Recently the city has had too many in need of water, and Manager Zhang couldn’t make it, so he sent us instead."

"Wuji, Wuming, aren’t you two hurrying to bring the water in?" Chu Baihan turned her head and spoke to Qian Ji.

"Yes."

Quickly, Wuji and Wuming carried in a large bucket, the water inside sloshing about.

"We from Siminghui also have some matters to report to the princess, please allow us to enter."

Seeing the water had been brought in, Chu Baihan suggested that they would like to enter as well.

"Not at all, if you wish to enter the residence, just say the word. However, the princess has not yet awoken, and you might have to wait a while," the servant said politely.

"It’s no trouble,"

Chu Baihan nodded and led everyone inside.
