Chapter 1112 Follow Them

Lu Guo left dejectedly.

The abbot looked at Xiao Lanyuan and said, "You weren't such a calculative person before. Didn't you say that you would look after Chengyun Villa and Zhixu Town for Manor Master Chen?"

Xiao Lanyuan was still young at that time, but when Master Chen was dying, he also said that if he had the energy to do so, he would help take care of the place.

"Didn't the uncle owner of the manor reject me?" Xiao Lanyuan said.

The master of the temple then remembered that after Xiao Lanyuan finished speaking, Master Chen struggled to say something -

No, you have it hard enough.

"But didn't you remain silent after he finished speaking?" said the master.

Xiao Lanyuan didn't feel guilty at all. "I didn't say anything. I just told myself in my heart that I'll see how things turn out. I'll go with my heart."

To be honest, if he follows his heart and lets it go, it won't be considered as breaking his promise to the owner of the manor.

The master of the temple burst into laughter.

"From the heart? What a good one."

He couldn't help but look at Fu Zhaoning.

This look has some deep meaning.

Fu Zhaoning saw it and said, "Master, you don't think I taught him, do you?"

Make Xiao Lanyuan a little "shameless" now?

She won't take the blame.

The master couldn't help laughing again, "Although A Yuan used to be quiet, he always kept his word to the people he approved of."

"So you're saying that I led him astray?"

Fu Zhaoning stretched out his index finger and poked Xiao Lanyuan's arm, "You tell me yourself."

"I can only say that Ningning and I have learned a little bit of flexibility?"

In the past, he basically learned how to be cunning. No matter what happened, he would not show it on his face and make it difficult for people to see through his true thoughts. Therefore, the temple master once said that he was somewhat mature beyond his years.

But after being with Fu Zhaoning, she was somewhat influenced. Most of the time, Fu Zhaoning would vent her anger on the spot, and would say it to someone's face if she didn't like it. She was trustworthy but not bound by conventions. If she was made angry, she could turn hostile at any time.

"I'm just kidding. I really didn't stick to my promise after the uncle who owns the manor said that."

Xiao Lanyuan grabbed Fu Zhaoning's hand and said seriously, "But over the years, I think I have fulfilled the half of the promise I made to the uncle of the manor."

Now that his wife has been bullied, if he still helps the town and the villa regardless of the past, then who is he?

Half a promise is not enough for him to devote his whole life to.

"I think you're right." Fu Zhaoning gave him a thumbs up.

She looked at the master again.

The master of the temple was looked at by her like this, and immediately smiled and shook his head, "I don't mean to criticize A Yuan. Even if he doesn't take action, I won't let those people go."

His words -

Xiao Lanyuan glanced at him.

Fu Zhaoning also felt that something was strange. Shouldn't the abbot be as indifferent to the world as a banished immortal? At least he wouldn't care about all these trivial matters, right?

He actually said that he would not let those people go.

It seemed a bit inconsistent with the people he was talking about.

"We're leaving for Beijing tomorrow." Xiao Lanyuan changed the subject, "Do you want to go to Beijing for a walk?"

He had asked the abbot before, since he had been staying on Youqing Peak for more than ten or twenty years, whether he wanted to go down the mountain to take a walk and have a look around, but the abbot had politely declined every time.

This time he just asked casually.

Unexpectedly, the master's answer this time was different from before.

"I'll go with you."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lanyuan, Fu Zhaoning, including Eleven and the others, looked at him in shock.

"Where are you going? To the capital?"

Xiao Lanyuan couldn't help but ask again.

"Why, you can't go?" The master looked at him teasingly, "Was your invitation just now a joke?"

Xiao Lanyuan was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, don't worry, I won't cause any trouble when I go," the temple master sighed softly, "I'm just going to say goodbye to an old friend."

"Old man?"

Fu Zhaoning, "Farewell?"

Why does it sound a bit weird to go all the way to the capital to say goodbye to someone?

But no matter what, the master said he wanted to go back to Beijing with them, and they had no reason to refuse. Even Fu Zhaoning, although he always felt that the master was a little strange, couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

The master of the temple wanted to break them up, but he hadn't done anything to cross her bottom line. He also said it frankly and really didn't want them to be together.

It was impossible for her to ask everyone to wish her and Xiao Lanyuan a long and happy life together.

The next day they went down the mountain early in the morning.

When they passed Zhixu Town, only some early-rising citizens saw their carriage. A few of them came forward to plead with Xiao Lanyuan, but when they saw the majestic looks of the guards, they backed off and just watched them leave.

By the time Mrs. Cheng learned the news at noon, the people were already far away from the town.

When Madam Cheng found out that the abbot had followed her, she cried so hard that her eyes were swollen.

Now the plan to wait for Fu Zhaoning and the others to leave and then go up the mountain to ask the temple master for help also failed.

What was even more depressing was that Princess Fuyun was forced to follow the same route back to the capital.

Princess Fuyun originally thought that the abbot had agreed to keep her and that she would live on Youqing Peak from then on. However, who would have thought that one day the abbot would ask Sang Zi to tell her directly that they would all leave Youqing Peak and go to the capital.

The temple master gave her the right to choose whether she wanted to stay in Youqing Peak or go with him.

How could she dare to stay on Youqing Peak alone?

Sang Zi also followed him. There were only a few of his disciples and two people who cooked and cleaned the temple. There was not a single woman. How could she dare to stay?

Besides, if the people sent by the emperor's brother find Youqing Peak and there is no abbot, who can protect her?

Princess Fuyun had no choice but to follow.

They were doing well in the first half month.

The master of the temple occasionally observed the celestial phenomena at night and made calculations, and was even able to help them avoid wind and rain, so that their journey was relatively smooth.

The accident happened on this day.

It rained last night.

When Fu Zhaoning woke up in the morning, he saw that there were still dark clouds in the sky outside.

They spent the night in an abandoned temple. Although the temple was a bit shabby and some places were leaking rain last night, fortunately the weather was warm and not too cold.

She fell asleep in Xiao Lanyuan's arms last night, but when she woke up, her body was covered with his cloak, and she didn't know where he was.

Xiaoyue took care of it for her and propped up bamboo and hung a curtain in the corner where she and Xiao Lanyuan slept to block the two of them.

The abbot was in another corner. Xiaoyue told me that when the abbot stayed away from home and had no bed, he would basically meditate all night.

In another corner, Princess Fuyun and the palace maid were leaning back to take a rest.

Fu Zhaoning casually put on the cloak that was covering his body, walked out, and looked around. The abbot and Princess Fuyun were not there either.

Even Xiaoyue and Baihu were not there, and it seemed like she was the only one left in the temple.
