Chapter 1275 Chips
The nun Qiu nodded. "It really is Miss Lu."
When Mr. Miao received the correct answer, he felt a strange sense of relief.
But he still found it strange. "I never expected that the Abbot of Dongqing Temple would accept Miss Lu as a disciple. Is there any special reason behind this?"
"There's no particular reason; it's probably just that Miss Lu and the abbot get along well."
Master Miao chuckled, "I see. By the way, Master, I noticed that the Abbess hasn't appeared at Dongqing Temple for quite some time. I wonder where she's been traveling and when she'll return?"
The nun Qiu glanced at Shu Yu, her voice still calm and unwavering, "The abbot went to the southwest some time ago, and as for now, I do not know the abbot's whereabouts."
When Master Miao heard the words "Southwest," his pupils contracted, and his face was filled with shock.
Earlier? Southwest?
Isn't that the place where Lord Luxiang was exiled? Master Miao doesn't believe that the Abbess of Dongqing Temple traveled all the way to the southwest; she just happened to be passing by.
It seems that the abbot of Dongqing Temple cares so much about Lord Luxiang.
Was it with the help of the abbot of Dongqing Temple that Lord Lu was able to return from the southwest?
Without much delay, Qiu Daogu asked Shuyu to prove two things: that she was a disciple of the Dongqing Temple Master, and that the Dongqing Temple Master loved her very much.
She's already confirmed it, so there's no need for her to stay here any longer.
The nun told them to make themselves at home and then got up and left the dining hall.
As soon as she left, the room fell silent.
Master Miao lowered his head slightly, seemingly lost in thought, and slowly clenched his right hand.
After a long pause, he raised his head and looked at the two men with a smile. “Lu Xiangjun is indeed extraordinary. Well then, let’s not beat around the bush. What brings you two to me today, and why have you gone to such lengths?”
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance, and the latter got straight to the point, "We want that manor and hilltop in the black market."
Master Miao was taken aback, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table.
That location was one of the best he had chosen; it was secluded enough, and the original estate was large and secure. He had been negotiating the price, knowing it wouldn't sell well on the black market, but he was confident in his ability to secure the deal.
Now that Meng Yunzheng has suddenly taken a liking to something, then...
“If Young Master Meng wants it, then buy it. You came to me because you know I haven’t bought it on the black market yet. Why don’t you go to the black market and instead come to me? Is it because you think the price is too high and want me to withdraw from this deal?”
Meng Yunzheng shook his head. "I know the black market is offering 30,000, and I can buy it at the original price. But I've offended the people on the black market, so they won't sell it to me. Therefore, we want Master Miao to buy it first and then sell it to us."
Master Miao suddenly realized why he had gone to such lengths; there had been such a twist in the process.
He leaned back slowly and said calmly, "If you want my help, you have to offer the same conditions in return. Lu Xiangjun brought me here to see Master Qiu, so I suppose that's the bargaining chip. To be honest, I'm very satisfied with this bargaining chip, and I can agree to your request, but at the same time, you have to agree to one condition of mine."
"You want to move your sister's eternal lamp to the ancestral master's seat, don't you?"
Master Miao glanced at Shu Yu, "It seems that Lord Lu has inquired quite a bit." He didn't mind; his purpose in coming to Dongqing Temple was no secret.
“That’s right. As long as Mr. Lu Xiang can do it, I will buy the black market and give it to you.”
