Chapter 1270 Monks Do Not Lie

Shu Yu's words left the nun Qiu speechless, but after hesitating for a moment, she still said, "A nun does not lie."

Shu Yu understood; she was indeed a disciple of the Abbot of Dongqing Temple. If she brought Master Miao over and asked her, the Daoist nun Qiu wouldn't lie.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Qiu. Please continue with your work. I'll be going now."

She was in a hurry, so she didn't linger and quickly ran out of the Taoist temple and went straight down the mountain.

I wonder how things are going with Meng Yunzheng.

At this moment, Meng Yunzheng was drinking tea in the restaurant, and sitting in front of him was Master Miao.

After parting ways with Shu Yu, he followed the man from the black market.

Since this person was going to visit, he even went out of his way to buy some things after leaving the inn.

If Meng Yunzheng wanted to stall for time, he only had two options: either create trouble for this person or make sure Master Miao had something to do so that the two of them couldn't meet.

However, if the person in the black market encounters obstacles along the way, they might become suspicious and associate it with them, which could easily lead to trouble.

It seems we need to start with Master Miao.

While the man was out shopping, Meng Yunzheng bypassed him and headed straight for the Miao residence.

He stopped when he reached the entrance of the Miao residence. There were guards at the entrance, but with Meng Yunzheng's skills, entering the Miao family would not be a problem.

But someone like Master Miao must have a lot of henchmen and servants in his mansion. Meng Yunzheng is not familiar with the layout of the Miao mansion, and rushing in would not only easily expose himself, but also waste time finding Master Miao in such a large mansion. Who knows, the black market people might have already arrived before he even found him.

If we can't enter the Miao residence, then we can only lure Master Miao out.

But how to lure him out? Meng Yunzheng didn't know much about Master Miao, so what kind of situation would make him come out immediately? Based on the information he had so far, he guessed that besides Piaoxiang Courtyard... it was Dongqing Temple.

Piaoxiang Courtyard is far away, so news of something happening there wouldn't reach us in time.

That leaves only Dongqing Temple.

Meng Yunzheng went to a nearby bookstore and bought an invitation. He wrote a line on it and then handed it to a beggar who was dressed fairly cleanly nearby, asking him to give it to the gatekeeper.

The beggar received a few copper coins and happily went to the gate of the Miao residence. He said to the frowning gatekeeper, "Sir, a young master asked me to give this invitation to Master Miao. It's about the Dongqing Temple."

The gatekeeper was initially impatient and wanted to send the person away, but hesitated when he heard about Dongqing Temple.

As the gatekeeper, he naturally knew that Master Miao visited Dongqing Temple once a month.

So he took the invitation and noticed that the cover was quite nice, not a cheap one.

The gatekeeper glanced at the beggar, and was about to ask what the young master he mentioned looked like, when the beggar had already run off in a flash.

The gatekeeper had no choice but to hurriedly return to the mansion.

Meng Yunzheng stood not far away, looking at the Miao residence on one side and another street on the other.

He wasn't sure if this bait would lure Master Miao out. If the man from the black market came and Master Miao hadn't left yet, he would have to implement another plan.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before Master Miao hurriedly left.

He looked around, his brows furrowed, still holding the invitation in his hand.

It seems that Dongqing Temple is indeed quite important to Master Miao. This move was the right one.

After standing at the door for a moment, Master Miao cursed under his breath and quickly left the gate of the Miao residence.
