The lie was immediately exposed! The scene froze for a moment.
"Abbot, you flatter me. It was just... a small favor." Tianyun said somewhat awkwardly, under Xiao Ziran's surprised gaze.
Only then did the abbot notice Xiao Ziran standing to the side, and he quickly put his hands together and bowed, saying, "Young Master Ziran is also here."
Xiao Ziran couldn't help but chuckle, already understanding the situation. He raised his hand to call the abbot to a standstill: "I think the venomous snake you saw, young lady, is not the one I'm talking about."
He was actually Prince Ziran?
Rumor has it that he has a bad temper and can get angry over the smallest things, but I just brushed it off so easily, and he didn't seem angry at all; in fact, he gave me a way out. Clearly, rumors shouldn't be taken at face value!

He hastily curtsied and said, "Tianyun will take his leave now."
After resigning, he slipped away without looking back.
Xiao Ziran watched her flee in disarray and laughed even harder. He then said to the abbot beside him, "Master Hongyi, Xiaoqing frightened the little monk Chuye. I apologize on its behalf."
