Tian Lin speculated that if Zhang Sheng swapped out the statue of Lady Qianshi, then the targets of his revenge would likely be the villagers and that senior monk.
"Who exactly is the goddess in the Goddess Temple? Only by opening the palanquin and seeing the true face of the statue can we know.
But Elder Ran is timid, how dare he risk going to the Goddess Temple?"
"Then, if we don't eliminate Lady Qianshi at the Goddess Temple, how else can we leave Yu Family Village?"
Tian Lin knew that who Lady Qianshi was did not matter much for him.
He didn't care about the ancient affairs from thousands of years ago. What he cared about now was how to leave Yu Family Village safely.
