Chapter 1402 Heart-to-Heart Talk Between Master and Disciple

The usually calm and composed Abbot Dongqing, who didn't care much about anything, was now getting a little irritated by Shu Yu's silence.

She rubbed her temples. "Alright, ask whatever you want."

"Wait a minute, let me organize my thoughts before asking."

The abbess of Dongqing Temple was speechless. That's why she had avoided her time and time again. This girl's ability to annoy people was truly amazing.

After an unknown amount of time, just as the abbot of Dongqing Temple was about to enter a meditative state, Shu Yu finally spoke, "Master, weren't you supposed to be returning to Dongqing Temple? But I heard from A-Yun that your next stop is the capital?"

For a fleeting moment, the abbot of Dongqing Temple wished that she would remain silent.

After thinking about it for so long, is this all she asked?

"Is that all you want to ask me?" Shouldn't she be curious about why she revealed to Old Madam Shu that she wasn't a daughter of the Shu family?

Shu Yu: "No, that's not it. I still have many questions in my mind. This is just a gradual process, asking them one by one."

So, she had to answer yes to each one.

The abbot of Dongqing Temple poured himself another cup of tea and slowly drank it down.

Then, she replied in a calm voice, "I originally just thought I might pass through Dong'an Prefecture, so I went back to take a look, since I haven't been back to the Taoist temple for a long time. But I met a fellow Taoist on the way, and she said that a friend in the capital was in some trouble, but she couldn't get away to go there, so she asked me to go for her."

Master, you are truly kind-hearted.

Shu Yu understood. She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, what if I said I also need your help with a small matter?"

"What favor?" Abbot Dongqing was quite easy to talk to. "If it's just a small favor, I naturally won't refuse."

"It's like this, Master, do you know a Mr. Miao in Dong'an Prefecture? The one who runs a brothel."

The abbot of Dongqing Temple frowned. "I know. What happened to him? Did he bully you?"

"Of course not, how could I be bullied by him? It's just that he wants to see Master and chat about some trivial matters."

First it was a small favor, now it's another small matter. Is there anything important in her mouth? Abbot Dongqing couldn't help but take another sip of tea.

Then, as if she had just thought of something, she asked curiously, "Judging from what you're saying, it seems you and Master Miao have a pretty good relationship. You even traveled all this way to find me because of his matter?"

Shu Yu immediately shook her head, "No, Master, you've misunderstood."

She recounted how Meng Yunzheng wanted to buy the black market manor, but the other party preferred to sell it to Master Miao rather than to them, ultimately leaving them with no choice but to approach Master Miao. She also explained in detail how Master Miao wanted to move her sister's eternal lamp to the ancestral master's seat, leading to Shu Yu negotiating terms with him.

The abbot of Dongqing Temple suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. But isn't this a case of acting first and reporting later?"

“Master, I learned this from you. Like teacher, like student.” She said this very seriously, as if she were quite proud of it.

Abbot Dongqing, "..."

She turned her head away, took another sip of tea, and then very naturally changed the subject, "How is Master Miao now?"

Shu Yu knew that what she wanted to ask was whether Master Miao had still harmed respectable women.

Shu Yu had actually been paying attention to this matter, after all, she had promised to introduce him to Master Miao, and as the introducer, she couldn't be completely unaware of his current situation.
