Chapter 200: Why Are You Running?!

Looking at Lu Jingzhi beside her, the two of them grinned at each other.

...

“Let’s go!”

“Okay!”

The two of them started climbing the steps.

Halfway up, Lu Ning was worried that Lu Jingzhi’s body would be unable to take it, so she stopped to rest for a while.

“Are you tired?”

Lu Jingzhi shook his head obediently. “I’m not tired.”

He raised his head and glanced up the mountain, seemingly as though he could make out the silhouette of Huiling Temple.

“I can do it!”

Smiling, Lu Ning nodded.

“Sister, I’m done resting. Let’s continue.”

“Alright!”

When the two of them reached the top, it was already a couple of hours later.

As they mounted the last step, they saw the gates to Huiling Temple.

There were two gargantuan sycamore trees by the door, their branches adorned with red ribbons.

The gates looked a little dilapidated and exuded a sense of immensity.

Lu Ning held Lu Jingzhi’s hand and followed the others in.

After entering, a young monk brought them into the side hall. After asking them what they would be praying for, he would bring them into the main hall to pay their respects.

Lu Ning took the red blessing pouch from the young monk, and retrieved a small satchel from her bag. She transferred the strands of hair inside into the red blessing pouch, and followed the young monk into the main hall with Lu Jingzhi.

In the middle of the main hall was a huge and magnificent Buddha statue. Standing in the middle, Lu Ning and Lu Jingzhi offered incense. Then, they went in front of the prayer mat and knelt down.

Imitating his sister, Lu Jingzhi also knelt on it. He pressed his palms together and closed his eyes.

Lu Ning clasped the red blessing pouch in her hand. The pouch swayed lightly as she prayed.

After the two of them came out, Lu Ning handed the red blessing pouch to the young monk accompanying them.

“You can write down your prayers and put them in the blessing pouch.” Lu Ning glanced at the table beside her. There was a brush and paper on it.

Taking the brush, Lu Ning wrote it earnestly, stroke by stroke.

“Dear patron, you can write the name here.”

Nodding, Lu Ning wrote Lin Ci’s name on another piece of paper.

As the young monk was about to leave with the things, Lu Ning thought of something and immediately called out to him. “Master, there’s another person I want to pray for.”

The young monk returned.

“I don’t have his personal belongings, but can I use something he gave me?” The young master nodded. “As long as it’s related.”

Lu Ning nodded. She took out a black velvet box from her pocket and handed it to the young master. The young master took another blessing pouch and placed it inside; after Lu Ning wrote the prayers and name again, he placed those in the blessing pouch and left.

Lu Ning brought Lu Jingzhi back the way they came.

Before leaving, the two of them hung red ribbons on the tree for good fortune.

As Lu Jingzhi went down the steps, he asked softly, “Sister, is that Sister Lin

Ci’s hair?”

Lu Ning nodded. “Yes.”

It was easier to go down the mountain, but the path was a little steep. Lu Ning was afraid that Lu Jingzhi would fall, so she held onto him tightly, not daring to relax.

She was all tensed up when a voice suddenly came from behind. “Lu Yi.” Without thinking, she answered the voice.

When she regained her senses, she did not even dare to look back. She picked up the confused Lu Jingzhi and rushed down the mountain.

The mountain path was steep, but she ran very steadily. It was most crowded at this time of day, so there were many people climbing the mountain, and Lu Ning had to avoid them while watching her step.

“Why are you running?!”

When they reached a spacious resting area, a blonde youth darted out from the side and grabbed Lu Ning’s arm.

“Why are you running? We’re not going to eat you.”

Lu Ning glared at him angrily. “You guys don’t eat people, you’re just plain annoying.”

She glanced at him. “I’m not running anymore. Let go of me..”
