After listening, Hu Xiao was overjoyed. The main purpose of her coming to the temple was to ask about the offering.

As the king’s sister, if she didn’t understand the process, it would be too embarrassing.

"High Monk, do you know how to make sacrifices?" In the past few days, Hu Xiao had been searching for talents in this area, but unfortunately, no one was able to explain it.

Hu Xiao felt that she did not come here for nothing. She excitedly stretched out her arms to grab Old Monk’s sleeves, but just as she stretched her hands out halfway, she immediately realized that something was wrong and immediately put her hands down.

"Benefactor, this humble monk knows a thing or two about sacrifices." The Old Monk said this politely. As he spoke, he secretly sized Hu Xiao up, this woman’s demeanor was extraordinary, to ask about the offering, could it be that she was a member of the royal family?

Although Old Monk had doubts in his heart, he still did not ask.

"Great! High Monk, please tell me the process of the sacrifice. I am deeply grateful." Hu Xiao cupped her hands and said excitedly. She and Ling Hua smiled at each other and held hands tightly.

The Old Monk said "Amitabha" and then said slowly, "Put this on the altar, use the three beasts of the pig, cow, and sheep as sacrifices, and also have your Master chant the Buddhist scriptures."

Old Monk explained the process of the sacrifice to him. Hu Xiao listened carefully and thanked him repeatedly. She even asked for some details.

The Old Monk patiently answered her question. Hu Xiao remembered all of Old Monk’s words in her heart, he wanted to tell his about the sacrificial ceremony after she returned.

"Alright, High Monk, I’ll take my leave now. I’ll head back first." Hu Xiao grinned, then pulled Ling Hua out of her trance and said, "Ling Hua, let’s go. We have been out for so long, if we don’t go back now, someone will worry."

Hu Xiao said with a smile. She seemed to be pointing something, as if to say, if I don’t go back now, my nephew will look for trouble with me again.

Ling Hua regained her senses, she shot a glance at Hu Xiao, and nodded: "Alright, let’s go. We’ve been out for so long, the people who came to cause trouble at our inn should have left already."

Ling Hua rubbed her chin, and said casually. She did not recognize Qin Shuo, so she did not know why Qin Shuo was so determined to meet the inn owner.

Mentioning Qin Shuo, Hu Xiao’s heart suddenly froze, but that was only for an instant. She quickly suppressed the strange look on his face.

Just as the two of them turned around, an old voice called out to them.

"Benefactor, please wait." Old Monk called out leisurely, he looked at the two’s backs, a warm smile on his face.

Hu Xiao’s footsteps paused, she turned her head and smiled: "High Monk, is there anything else?"

Old Monk looked at Ling Hua and asked gently: "This benefactor, you are not considered a divination?"

Hearing that, Ling Hua raised her eyebrows, and shook her head, saying, "No, no, no, I do not count, I do not believe this."

Ling Hua was not superstitious, so she did not want the Old Monk to calculate things for him.

"Do you not believe me, or do you not dare to?" Old Monk looked into Ling Hua’s eyes and asked with a smile.

Ling Hua’s eyes were filled with panic. Calculate? Is it a marriage divination?

At this moment, Hu Qi’s figure flashed past her mind. She was startled for a moment, then immediately shook his head and drove Hu Qi out of her mind.

"If you don’t want to think about it, then forget it. It’s useless if I don’t believe in it." Ling Hua laughed and did not take Old Monk’s words to heart.

Then, she pulled Hu Xiao’s sleeves and said urgently: "Let’s go, it’s almost dark. If we stay any longer, we won’t be able to return."

However, Hu Xiao stood there without moving, she then grabbed onto Ling Hua’s wrist and teased: "Hey hey hey, don’t go so fast, get this senior monk to calculate a divination for you, after that, we can leave, if it’s dark, we can also go back, if not, we can just stay in the temple for the night, High Monk, do you have a place to stay?"

After hearing this, the young monk at the side immediately replied, "Sir, don’t worry. This temple isn’t big, but it’s more than enough to accommodate the two of you."

"Ling Hua, did you hear that? There’s more than enough for us!" Hu Xiao said with a smile, as she pulled Ling Hua towards Old Monk, with a posture of "If you don’t plan to leave now, I won’t leave".

Ling Hua had no choice but to agree.

She drew out a wooden stick following Old Monk’s instructions. The wooden stick had the word "Life" written on it. Ling Hua did not understand so she passed the wooden stick to Old Monk.

"What is it?" Hu Xiao moved closer to take a look, and unconsciously let out a cry, "Life, is it fate?"

She then cast her gaze towards Old Monk, who closed his eyes and opened them after a while. He looked at Ling Hua and said word by word: "Bathed in fire and reborn anew.

Saying that, Old Monk paused, leaving behind the second half of his sentence. He shook his head, and then said "Amitabha".

Ling Hua rubbed her nose, and anxiously asked: "So what if there’s disagreement, why don’t you tell me!"

Ling Hua’s temper was not good to begin with, now that the Old Monk had said half of it, she was very anxious, and did not understand what the Old Monk was trying to hide.

"Almsgiver, this is a heaven’s will. It cannot be revealed." Old Monk was determined not to speak further. He made a "please" gesture, indicating that the two of them could leave.

"Hey. Since you’ve already said half of it, why not say the other half? Ling Hua frowned. Old Monk had made her heart itch, she might as well not say it.

Ling Hua had never seen such a despicable person!

She crossed her arms over her chest, a little angry.

He still shook his head and said, "Benefactor, please go back!"

Ling Hua had no choice but to vent her anger. Along the way, she scolded continuously, the Old Monk aroused her curiosity, but it did not satisfy her.

"Hu Xiao, if I knew earlier, I wouldn’t have come with you. That Old Monk took the initiative to help me calculate, but he didn’t say everything. Her footsteps stepped heavily on the ground, and she couldn’t help but feel like she wanted to vent her anger on Hu Xiao.

Hu Xiao did not mind, she smiled and said: "Heh, Ling Hua, don’t think too much, you will become my nephew’s wife sooner or later. Qi’er’s character is good, and she likes you so much, so it’s not bad to be together with him!"

Hu Xiao was trying to sell off Hu Qi in front of Ling Hua. She didn’t know what attitude Ling Hua had towards Hu Qi, but she still supported him and Ling Hua to be together.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I’m not going to be with him. Don’t say these kinds of words in the future. I still like to live by myself." The more Ling Hua spoke, the faster she left. She lowered her head, not allowing Hu Xiao to see the flustered look on her face.

Hearing that, Hu Xiao laughed, and then said: "Oh oh oh, leaving so quickly, are you shy? Do you have a nephew in your heart?"

She quickly caught up and even patted Ling Hua’s shoulders. Ling Hua rolled her eyes and ignored her.

Hu Xiao did not give up and continued, "Qi’er will not let you down. Believe me, being with him is definitely not wrong."
