Fan Building.

Wang Junze met Ni Gang once again.

Although the matter could no longer be pursued, Wang Junze still expressed his gratitude to Ni Gang.

"Young Master, I toast you!"

Raising the wine bowl, Ni Gang spoke earnestly.

"What do you mean? I should be the one thanking you." Wang Junze asked, somewhat surprised.

"Before you made a move today, you deliberately drove away the surrounding commoners. Just for that, I toast you! To be frank, our Cyan Robe Gang is made up of lowly people, and on a normal day, no one even looks up to us. But, Young Master, you are different from those others!"

Ni Gang explained, "No matter what happens in the future, the Cyan Robe Gang will always be your friend!"

This statement was quite interesting. Ni Gang mentioned the Cyan Robe Gang, not himself, indicating that today's events had won Wang Junze the approval of many within the gang, not just Ni Gang.

After a slight pause, Wang Junze said nothing more, merely raised his wine bowl, clinked it with Ni Gang's, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Young Master, the news about Prince Yu... should we continue investigating?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ni Gang couldn't help but ask again.

Although everything seemed calm on the surface, the news that Wang Junze emerged from Yin Guangling today had quietly spread.

It was said that Yin Guangling hadn't given Wang Junze any reward at all, but even scolded him, ordering him not to meddle any further. There wasn't even a mention of any connection between the Demon Cultivator and Prince Yu's Mansion.

After all, killing a Demon Cultivator on the streets was an accomplishment in itself, but it wasn't mentioned at all, making the attitude very clear.

The Judgment Department wouldn't pursue the matter any further; it had fizzled out.

"Investigate!"

Lifting his head, Wang Junze looked at Ni Gang and spoke in a deep voice, "However, this matter is no longer related to the Judgment Department; it's a personal matter. It's best if no one knows I'm still investigating Prince Yu."

No matter what, he had already promised Yin Guangling today that he wouldn't bother Prince Yu again, so he wouldn't take any action outwardly.

Even if he uncovered something in secret, he still needed to be patient and wait for a more suitable opportunity.

"Alright!"

Surprisingly, this time Ni Gang didn't hesitate at all and immediately agreed, "I'll arrange the most reliable people to investigate this, and it will not leak out."

"Thank you!"

Thinking it over, Wang Junze pulled out a Storage Pouch, took nearly a million Spirit Stones and over a hundred bottles of Elixir from his ring, and handed them to Ni Gang.

"I won't act against Prince Yu's Mansion in the short term. Regardless of what you find, compile it first and give it to me later. Consider these as a deposit!"

Given recent events, Wang Junze trusted Ni Gang a bit more and continued to remind him, "Master Ni, please handle this carefully!"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

Ni Gang didn't refuse, taking the items directly.

"By the way, there's one more thing I'd like to trouble Master Ni with."

After much consideration, Wang Junze decided to trust Ni Gang a bit more and slowly asked, "Master Ni, do you know of any opportunities that would allow me to meet Eldest Princess Ningyu without drawing attention?"

These days, he had already found out the location of Princess Ningyu's Mansion, originally planning to visit after meeting the Director.

But now, after speaking with Yin Guangling, Wang Junze realized that the waters in the Capital City were far deeper than he imagined.

He's already quite conspicuous in the Capital, likely being watched by both the Judgment Department and Prince Yu's Mansion. Visiting the Eldest Princess Ningyu rashly would surely arouse suspicion. He needed to find a suitable excuse.

This wasn't something he could handle himself, so he could only ask local figures like Ni Gang for any possible method.

"Eldest Princess Ningyu?"

Hearing Wang Junze's question, Ni Gang was slightly taken aback, not understanding why Wang Junze wanted to meet Eldest Princess Ningyu, but he didn't ask further. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Eldest Princess Ningyu has been out of touch with the world for years and seldom goes out. She's only known to visit Lingyin Temple on the 15th of every month to offer incense."

"If you want to meet her, you can try going to Lingyin Temple at that time, but Eldest Princess Ningyu is protected by the Feather Army, so it might not be easy to approach her."

"Got it, thank you!"

Wang Junze didn't explain further, simply expressing gratitude.

Soon after, Ni Gang took his leave.

Wang Junze mused again, thinking every 15th? That's just a few days away.

....

A few days went by in a flash, and today was the 15th. Early in the morning, Wang Junze took Wang Xin and Peng Ru to visit Lingyin Temple.

"Brother, since when did you start believing in Buddhism?"

Accompanying Wang Junze for a leisurely walk around the temple, Wang Xin asked curiously.

"Just to see the commotion."

Regarding Qu Lishang's matter, even with his sister, Wang Junze didn't mention it, offering a casual explanation, "In a few days, we might leave the Capital City, so I'm just exploring while I still have time."

Wang Xin wasn't suspicious and explained, "It's said that the abbot of Lingyin Temple came from Xuankong Temple, but only preaches Buddhist Teachings, not involving in cultivation. The incense offerings here are abundant, reportedly frequented by many dignitaries and officials from the Capital."

Xuankong Temple!

As one of the Four Great Celestial Sects, Xuankong Temple was indeed renowned, though compared to Buddhism's widespread followers, its presence was rather small.

The Capital City would never allow people from Xuankong Temple to station themselves here.

To promote Buddhist Teachings, high monks from Xuankong Temple voluntarily left the temple, entering the capital as members of the Buddhist Sect.

This was the situation with Lingyin Temple. Apart from a few exceptions, the monks here didn't pursue cultivation, thus not drawing the Court's attention, resulting in today's thriving incense offerings.

Wang Junze also didn't perform any unusual actions, wandering around as any regular person would and joining the crowd in offering incense.

"Would the benefactor like to request a divination?"

After the incense offering, a monk approached and asked.

After a quick glance, Wang Junze realized the monk was an ordinary man without cultivation. After a brief thought, he smiled and said, "Alright, I humbly ask for the little master's guidance."

"Please, benefactor!"

Hearing Wang Junze's words, the monk's face lit up with joy and led him to a side hall.

In fact, many come to request divination in Lingyin Temple, but these monks are discerning; commoners usually do so outside, while dignitaries and officials are led to the side hall.

"Does the benefactor wish to seek marriage, wealth, or future prospects?"

With hands clasped together, an elderly monk in the side hall asked gently.
