Mrs. Su's heart skipped a beat, and she realized that the abbot in front of her was indeed unaware of the purpose of her visit.
Could it be that I found the wrong person?
Isn't she what the emperor wants?
The maidservant beside her frowned at her master's uneasy look, but she felt disgusted with the girl she had never met before.
After all, if it weren't for her, her master wouldn't be so worried about it.
"Ma'am, be careful with the steps!"
The maid beside her would occasionally remind her softly to bring Mrs. Su back to her senses, but she had no idea how to bring the woman home.
After turning another corner, Mrs. Su arrived at Ning Wan's door.
"Madam Su, the donor is here." The young monk from before stood up again, spread his hand towards the door and gestured.
Mrs. Su looked at the closed door in front of her and felt unsure.
She began to think that if the host knew about it, she would be able to tie the person back even if she had to.
But now, the abbot is obviously unaware of this. If she takes action here, there is no guarantee that this matter will spread.
Ruining their reputation is a small matter, but if they ruin the emperor's good deeds, their Su family might have no place to stay in Shengping.
Thinking of this, Madam Su let go of the hand that was supporting the maid, and when she was about to move forward, the maid beside her grabbed her hand.
"Madam, let me do it."
As he said this, he walked forward.
Dongdong~
The sound of knocking on the door echoed in everyone's ears.
"Miss, our wife wants to meet you. I hope you can agree."
"Girl~"
"Girl~"
But no matter how the maid outside the door shouted, there was no response from the inner room.
Mrs. Su's heart was now as tormented as if it were being burned on charcoal fire.
Finally, after the maid's eleventh call, Mrs. Su lost her patience and walked forward.
"Miss, I really have no ill intentions. I just heard that you were orphaned at such a young age, so I thought of adopting you as my adopted daughter. It would be a good deed for me."
Mrs. Su briefly told the purpose of her visit and began to wait for the people in the room to speak.
After a long while, there was still no movement from the people inside.
The abbot standing aside sighed, it seemed that they were not destined to be together.
The maid who had been calling for a long time at the door, seeing that no one responded even though her master had personally gone to invite her, could not help but feel angry. "This girl is too arrogant. Our Madam is the wife of the current Minister of Rites after all. There is no need for her to be so humble when meeting an orphan girl."
The maid complained, but her voice didn't soften at all. Madam Su beside her didn't try to stop the maid's behavior.
The host on the side frowned after hearing what the maid said, but thinking of the identity of the person in front of him, he realized that it was not someone he could accuse casually.
The maid originally thought that she had explained it so clearly that anyone with a bit of common sense inside would know that he was about to come out.
But what neither Mrs. Su nor the maid expected was that the inner room was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there.
The group finally discovered something was wrong.
The young monk who had been there walked up quickly and knocked on the door a few more times. "Donor? Donor?"
"Sorry, benefactor."
After a long while, the monk still did not receive a response, so he looked at the abbot again and pushed open the door after getting permission.
The door was left ajar.
When I opened it, I saw that the furnishings in the room were also extremely simple, with a bed and a set of tables and chairs.
It was precisely because of this that everyone could tell at a glance that there was absolutely no possibility of anyone hiding in the room.
"Hui Min, the donor from before?"
The host looked at the empty room and started speaking first.
You have to know that the temple is on the mountain. You can imagine how dangerous it is for a girl to stay outside.
But how could Huimin possibly know? She just tugged at her clothes anxiously and said, "Master, I did hear the donor's response when I just returned. I don't know where the donor went."
Upon hearing this, Madam Su's expression changed, "You didn't send anyone to guard her?"
The abbot bowed slightly and said, "Madam Su, you are joking. There is a difference between men and women. The monks in the temple are all male. How can you guard an unmarried girl?"
The host said this, bowed slightly, and was led to the other room. "I think that donor and Madam Su are not destined to be together. Madam Su, don't worry too much."
How could Mrs. Su not be anxious? This was a life-threatening task.
If she really just wanted to adopt a daughter, she wouldn't have any trouble finding one given her current status.
"Master, as the saying goes, sincerity is the key to success. I believe that girl and I are destined to be together. Please allow me to wait here for a while longer."
Seeing her mistress's insistence, the maid realized there must be something else she didn't know, and quickly chimed in, "Yes, perhaps this is a test for both of us. Master, please give us another chance."
Seeing the two men so insistent, the host naturally didn't say much. He just kept silent for a while and reminded them again: "That Shi is not injured. I'm afraid he has already gone down the mountain."
After hearing this, Mrs. Su was not at all panicked. She hoped that the man would come down the mountain. After all, she brought people with her. As long as she saw him, she could take him back directly. There was no need for all this trouble.
"If that's the case, I'll accept my fate."
Mrs. Su looked determined and stopped the host from continuing to persuade her.
On the other side, Ning Wan had already run down the mountain. As for Madam Su's people, they didn't even know what Ning Wan looked like, so how could they possibly catch Ning Wan?
Not to mention the case where Ning Wan used plug-ins.
[The skill "Peerless Lightness" has been used for five minutes, and there are twenty-five minutes left.]
Ning Wan listened to the electronic notification and thought about when she was going down the mountain just now and met the people guarding the foot of the mountain.
While she was still thinking about how to escape, the system popped up at this time and reminded her that she could use Qinggong.
It was also at this time that she realized that this Qinggong skill could be started at any time within half an hour, and only the time spent practicing the skill would be recorded.
Of course, in order to make things easier, Ning Wan did not bring Xiaoju out with her, but sent her to the kitchen to prepare meals for herself.
But thinking of his own identity, Ning Wan called out the system again.
"Xiao Qi, are there any items in the mall that can make it impossible for people to recognize my identity?"
Ning Wan didn't want to be burned to death as soon as she came down the mountain, mistaken for a ghost.
Xiao Qi naturally understood what Ning Wan meant.
[You don’t need to go through the mall, Xiaoqi can help you with this.]
He looked at the pills worth three to five hundred points in the mall, and thought of the host's pitiful points. Forget it, he still has to rely on the host to help him complete the main task, so he will help if he can.
