Later, Mei Qing stepped forward and funded Xuan Shang to obtain a "certificate of ordination", officially transforming her from a famous prostitute into an officially certified nun of the Tang Dynasty, and then she moved into the Qingxia Temple.

Originally, the next plot was that Xuan Shang would be whitewashed, and then return to secular life from a nun, marry Mei Qing and completely get on the shore of wealth and fame. At this time, Mei Qing even gave his heirloom "Kui Xing Inkstone" to Xuan Shang.

However, at this time, the Mei family suffered a disaster. Mei Qing's father was killed because he stood on the wrong side in the court's party struggle. The Mei family's property was ransacked and his mother committed suicide due to the heavy burden. Mei Qing completely fell from being a rich kid to the son of a criminal official, with no money, no power, and no future.

Coincidentally, Xuan Shang also gave birth to a daughter for Mei Qing at this time, and it was this girl.

After hearing about the misfortune of the Mei family, Xuan Shang once considered continuing to follow Mei Qing and become a poor couple.

However, under the persuasion of the "female monks" in Qingxia Temple and the temptation of wealth and glory, Xuanchang finally abandoned Mei Qing and handed her daughter to Mei Qing.

Mei Qing brought her daughter to Qingxia Temple many times to look for Xuanshang, but was eventually driven out of the temple by Xuanshang's men.

After all, if he stayed in Qingxia Temple, he still had the hope of clinging to the powerful, but if he followed Mei Qing, there would be no hope at all.

Mei Qing finally became completely desperate, but he still had a daughter, so he began to rely on writing and selling paintings, and struggled to raise his daughter until she was six years old.

However, when his daughter was six years old, Mei Qing finally fell ill after years of fatigue and depression. However, he did not seek medical help. Instead, he gave the remaining twenty taels of silver to his daughter and told her two regrets in his life:

First, Mei Qing's parents have always wanted him to take the imperial examination, hoping that he would make a name for himself and not become a spoiled brat of an official's generation.

The second thing was that he gave the Mei family heirloom to Xuan Shang and he has never been able to get it back.

After telling these two regrettable things, Mei Qing died with his eyes open.

Mei Qing named his daughter "Mei Xianzhang", which shows how much he regretted disappointing his parents' expectations.

Xiao Mei Xianzhang, who was only six years old, used ten taels of the twenty taels of silver left by her father to bury her father Mei Qing. The remaining ten taels supported her to live to this day. At the same time, this was also the sixth time she went to Qingxia Temple to ask for the Kuixing Inkstone in the past year since her father's death.

One of her father's last wishes was to get back the Kuixing Inkstone. Xiaomei Xianzhang didn't understand or know how to take the imperial examinations, but she knew what to do to get back the Kuixing Inkstone.

Taoist Xuanshang looked at Mei Xianzhang with a cold gaze that was extremely strange and ruthless, as if this was not his own flesh and blood at all.

Seeing Mei Xianzhang refuse to accept his money, Taoist Xuanshang said calmly, "No matter what you think, the Kuixing Inkstone is no longer your Mei family's heirloom. Go away, and don't come here to make trouble and delay me again."

After saying that, Taoist Xuanshang said to the Taoist priest beside him: "If she doesn't leave later, you take people to push Mei Qing's tomb."

"You...you dare!" Xiaomei Xianzhang was so angry when he heard that Taoist Xuanshang was going to have people tear down his father's grave that he roared in a childish voice.

Taoist Xuanshang said coldly: "You can make trouble here as much as you want, but do you think I dare to do that?"

After saying that, Taoist Xuanshang flicked his sleeves and walked towards Qingxia Temple without looking back.

Xiaomei Xianzhang looked at Taoist Xuanshang's back angrily. After a long time, he lowered his head weakly, his fists clenched and shaking.

In the end, she looked at the towering archway and palace gate of Qingxia Temple with resentment, no longer daring to make a noise, and turned around, lowered her head, and limped away.

"Heh." The Taoist priest sneered as he watched Xiaomei Xianzhang limping away, thinking that only Taoist Priest Xuanshang had a way to deal with this little rascal.

Fang Jian watched all this coldly, seeing Xuan Shang's ruthlessness, the Taoist's brutality, and the little girl's futile efforts, he remained silent.

When he saw the little girl being threatened and she left in anger but helplessness, Fang Jian took the Third Prince's hand and quietly followed the little girl, following her all the way out of the misty Yanlai Lake.

However, Xiaomei Xianzhang soon discovered Fang Jian, but she just turned her head to look at Fang Jian, and then stopped paying attention to him. Instead, she turned her head and looked intently at the road ahead.
