After speaking, Jun Qingzhi stood up and said, "Thank you very much for Master Guangyuan's explanation today."

"This old monk has not been able to resolve the doubts in the young benefactor's mind."

Jun Qingzhi smiled, bowed to Master Guangyuan, and turned to walk out the door.

Wu Nian followed closely behind Jun Qingzhi, seeing her off.

"Please take care, benefactor."

Jun Qingzhi nodded to Wu Nian, then turned and got into the carriage.

After sitting in the carriage, Jun Qingzhi closed her eyes. She opened them after the carriage started moving.

The words Guangyuan said that night still echoed in my ears: "People who should never have crossed paths have now crossed paths."

"Send a letter back to Yu He, inquiring about the Princess's recent condition."

"Yes, Master."

The soil on the ground was damp from the rain of the past few days.

The carriage passed over it, leaving very clear wheel tracks.

Wu Nian, having seen Jun Qingzhi off, closed the courtyard gate and went back inside.

"Master, the person has been sent away."

Guangyuan, with his eyes closed and one hand twirling the prayer beads in his palm, gave a soft reply, "Mm."

"Master, the owner of the yard came by this morning and brought some vegetables and fruits."

"As your teacher said, you must not accept anything."

Guangyuan opened his eyes when he said this.

"I did not accept the disciple."

"So extreme..."

Guangyuan turned to look at Wunian, stopping halfway through his sentence.

Just as he stared at Wu Nian, his brows furrowed.

"Master?"

Wu Nian didn't understand why Guang Yuan was looking at him like that, so he asked in confusion.

Guangyuan did not answer Wunian's question, but instead began to calculate with the hand holding the prayer beads.
