Reborn, forced to be pampered by the Huo family prince

Chapter 23 Adventures in Taoist Temple

The sun is a bit lazy in winter and rises relatively late.

As soon as the sun came up, Li Shu was woken up by a call from his eldest brother.

She had to go back to the company, so she got dressed and went to Ye Ning's room.

She knocked on the door twice, but there was no movement.

After knocking twice more, there was still no movement. Her heart sank and she quickly opened the door and went in.

As soon as she entered the door, she felt something was wrong and hurriedly ran towards the bed.

Ye Ning huddled up in a ball on the bed and shivered, whimpering intermittently.

"Go quickly...go quickly...run away..."

"Let me go...let me go..."

"No, no..."

Li Shu was frightened and hurriedly hugged her tightly: "Ning Ning, wake up, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

As Li Shu spoke, he shook her gently to wake her up.

"Ning Ning, wake up, it's me, it's me Li Shu, I'm calling you, wake up..."

Ye Ning shuddered and opened her eyes suddenly, but her eyes were empty, only her heart was rising and falling violently. Li Shu was so frightened that half of his soul flew out, and his face turned several degrees pale.

"Ning Ning... Ning Ning..."

After a while, with heavy breathing, Ye Ning's pupils slowly focused and she slowly woke up.

"Ash..."

Li Shu breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his hold on her: "Ning Ning, are you okay? How do you feel?"

"I am fine."

"You...you are all wet and you still say it's okay. If I don't come in..." Li Shu's eyes darkened and he said seriously, "Get up, change clothes, I will take you somewhere."

Ye Ning was completely confused.

From getting up to having breakfast, to getting in Li Shu's car, and now Li Shu has been driving for two hours, she doesn't know why Li Shu has a dark face.

After a six-hour drive, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the fierce Ferrari stopped at the foot of a mountain.

After getting off the car, Ye Ning was led by Li Shu and walked for more than half an hour, and finally came to a Taoist temple.

"Li Shu, will you bring me to the Taoist temple?"

"Stop talking nonsense, come with me quickly, go in and say goodbye, and then go and ask for a peace charm."

Ye Ning was dragged by Li Shu and kowtowed before many tall statues.

Finally, the two of them came to a secluded small courtyard, and Li Shu pushed Ye Ning in:

"Go to the master inside and ask for the Peace Talisman. Don't worry, I'll wait for you outside."

After the door was closed, Ye Ning smiled bitterly, unwilling to violate Li Shu's good intentions, and walked towards the cabin in front.

She stayed in the house for about ten minutes and got a yellow peace charm, which she carefully folded and put in her pocket.

She came out of the yard and didn't see Li Shu, so she went to look for her.

Unknowingly, she came to a small forest with several winding paths.

Looking at the several paths leading to nowhere, Ye Ning realized that he was lost.

She reached into her pocket and was about to call Li Shu, but then she remembered that her bag was in the car at the foot of the mountain and her mobile phone was in the bag.

She walked in the woods for a while and found that there was no one there, but there were too many side roads and she really didn't know which one was the way back.

I have no choice but to try my luck.

Ye Ning chose the one that looked wider. She judged that this one should have the most people walking on it, so it was wider than the others. Since there are the most people walking, no matter which direction you go, as long as you are on this road, you will always meet people, and you will be saved by then.

After walking for about ten minutes, Ye Ning found that there seemed to be a mountain wall ahead and there was no way.

She couldn't figure out how this could be a dead end, but with the facts before her eyes, she could only turn around and go back.

Suddenly, just as she was about to turn around, she noticed that there seemed to be a person in the west direction.

She quickly ran there and saw someone.

A man wearing a white Taoist robe, a Taoist bun, and a long gray beard.

The man quietly closed his eyes and stood under a huge cypress tree facing the wind. He looked really immortal. Ye Ning guessed that he might be an expert in this Taoist temple.

Just when she was about to say something to the ceremony, the Taoist opened his eyes and spoke first: "Little girl, you and I are destined."

"Ah..." Ye Ning smiled dryly, thinking that he had met You Daozi.

Suddenly, the Taoist stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and put something in her hand.

"Keep it well, carry it with you, never leave it."

Ye Ning was a little distracted looking at the thing in his hand. It was a small shiny black wooden sign, three centimeters long and two centimeters wide. There was a top-quality jasper the size of a soybean in the center. The rope that came with it was not an ordinary thread. It could not be said that it was What.

"This is……"

Ye Ning raised his head to ask, but found that there was no one around him. She looked around, but didn't see even half a person.

what happened? Why did she disappear in the blink of an eye?

Ye Ning looked at the palm of his hand again. Do you want this thing or not? She was struggling when a voice came from her ears:

"Take it with you. It will keep you safe. From now on, you can't leave this necklace. You will never leave it before you are 26 years old. Remember!"

"Who are you? What are you going to do? You..."

Ye Ning was shocked and shouted, but no one answered her, only her own echo echoed in the mountains.

Ye Ning froze where she was, her heart was beating very hard, as if it was about to burst out of her mouth, but she was in a trance.

The Taoist just now was so strange, but...

After struggling for a while, Ye Ning finally put the necklace on her neck.

"Ning Ning, where are you? Ning Ning..."

At this moment, Ye Ning heard Li Shu's anxious call.

"Ash, I'm here."

Li Shu ran over quickly, followed by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Taoist boy wearing dark blue Taoist robes.

Seeing Li Shu panting, Ye Ning felt very guilty knowing that she was worrying about him.

"I'm sorry, Ash, for making you worry. I couldn't see you when I came out, so I wanted to look for you, but I didn't expect to get lost."

Li Shu held her arm, slumped on her shoulder, and patted his heart:

"I was scared to death. Are you okay?"

"fine."

Li Shu stood up straight and looked her up and down, took her arm again and murmured softly:

"It's strange. I was waiting for you in the pavilion next to you. You didn't see me, and I didn't see me either. Forget it, just be fine. Let's go home."

After saying that, she took Ye Ning's arm and walked forward, and the little Taoist boy followed them silently.

After hearing Li Shu's words, Ye Ning thought of the Taoist priest just now, but she could no longer remember what he looked like. She only remembered that he was wearing a white Taoist robe.

She pursed her lips and unconsciously reached out to touch her neck.

After returning to the Taoist temple and saying goodbye to the Taoist priests, when Ye Ning and Li Shu went down to the foot of the mountain, it was already past six in the afternoon, the sun had already set, and there was only an orange glow on the horizon.

As the car drove slowly on the road, Li Shu looked back several times to look at Ye Ning, who was sitting quietly in the passenger seat.

"Ning Ning, I brought you here without permission, do you blame me?"

"No, it feels good to come here. I didn't know there was such a place before. How did you know about it?"

"My mother and sister-in-law came here. My mother said the peace charms here are very effective."

"I'm sorry Ash, I must have scared you this morning."

"I'm fine, I just don't want to see you being haunted by nightmares. By the way, you've got the peace charm. Keep it well. You should be able to sleep peacefully tonight."

"Li Shu, why are you so nice? Stop the car and I want to hug you."

Li Shu turned to look at her and chuckled: "Come on, come on. Brothers of more than ten years should be friends. Here, I'll hold your hand."

Ye Ning held Li Shu's extended hand, feeling sour and sweet in her heart.

Afraid of his past stupidity, Tian Lishu treats him sincerely.

Originally, they wanted to find a place to stay on the way, but after some discussion, the two decided to return to the imperial capital and let Ye Ning drive for the second half of the trip.

It was already past one in the morning when the Ferrari parked at the entrance of the Crescent Bay Villa.

Ye Ning never expected that at this point, he would see Xie Chenyu as soon as he got off the car.
