Chapter 1372 You're the Abbot's disciple?!
Shu Yu came to her senses, smiled, and said to Sister Zheng, "Senior Sister Zheng, I came here because I need your help with something."
Xiao was stunned for a moment, then looked at her and... Zheng Daogu with surprise.
So they know each other.
The nun Zheng replied gently, "Please speak freely, young lady."
“This is a friend of mine. She has run into some trouble and is now homeless. It is inconvenient for her to stay at my place, so I would like to ask Sister Zheng to help her stay at the Taoist temple temporarily.”
Zheng Daogu frowned, and Xiao Shi immediately became nervous. She gently tugged at Shu Yu's sleeve.
Even if she knew the Taoist nun in front of her, the vast Dongqing Temple wasn't something she could control all by herself.
As expected, the nun Zheng was in a dilemma. "Miss, this is not good. Dongqing Temple has never interfered in worldly affairs. Staying for a day or two is fine, but staying longer might be inconvenient."
Although Zheng Daogu did not know what difficulties Shu Yu was talking about, she could guess that the so-called difficulties that made it difficult for her to arrange things in her own home were definitely not trivial matters.
Xiao was already mentally prepared, so she wasn't surprised by what Zheng Daogu said.
Although disappointed, she didn't want to make things difficult for them.
However, she didn't make things difficult, but Shu Yu next to her was already planning to stay there.
She took two steps forward and, under Xiao's puzzled gaze, grabbed Zheng Daogu's arm. "But Senior Sister Zheng, as you just said, if I need help, just let me know."
The nun Zheng sighed helplessly, "But I never said I could definitely do it."
“You’re wrong about that. It’s not that difficult to handle. You say that visiting pilgrims can only stay here for a day or two, but I stayed for a month or so back then. Isn’t there precedent?”
Upon hearing this, Madam Xiao suddenly realized that Shu Yu had lived at Dongqing Temple for a period of time, which explained why he was so familiar with the area and seemed to have a good relationship with the nuns.
The nun Zheng was increasingly helpless. "Girl, it's different. You are the abbot's disciple, so naturally you can stay as long as you want."
Xiao suddenly raised her head. What had the Taoist nun just said? What abbot's disciple?
Shu Yu didn't notice her expression; she was just bargaining with Zheng Daogu, "The one living here now is a friend of the abbot's disciple, and has a very close relationship with the abbot, right? We can still make an exception for that."
Zheng Daogu, “…” Every time she talked to the girl, she felt that even if she was on her best, she would still be tricked by her.
Finally, she simply shrugged and said, "Miss, I can't make that decision."
“It’s alright. Let’s ask Senior Sister Qiu to come over and discuss it. If you two agree, that’s fine. If it really doesn’t work, then we can ask the other senior sisters in the temple and have them vote. If anyone disagrees, I’ll go and persuade them.”
Zheng Daogu was speechless, unable to refute.
Forget it, let Senior Sister Qiu decide on this troublesome matter.
Zheng Daogu turned to the young Daogu and told her to go to the front hall to find someone, but she knew in her heart that Senior Sister Qiu would definitely agree.
Although Sister Qiu is talkative, serious, and strict with others, she is not easy to talk to in the eyes of the worshippers.
However, in front of Shu Yu, Senior Sister Qiu was basically the one who compromised.
As she shook her head, the nun Zheng led the two women into the house, served them tea, and told them to drink while they waited.
Seeing that the nun Zheng was giving instructions, Madam Xiao quickly moved closer to Shu Yu and asked in a low, shocked voice, "You, you are the disciple of the abbot of Dongqing Temple?"
