Chapter 1373 No wonder they didn't take you seriously
Shu Yu nodded. "Yeah, you didn't know?"
How would I know?
"That's because..." Shu Yu's voice suddenly stopped. Yes, Xiang Weinan did know that she was the disciple of the abbot of Dongqing Temple, but he and his wife Xiao had a bad relationship.
She still remembered the way Xiang Weinan's smiling face instantly darkened when she first met Xiao Shi.
Given this relationship, Xiang Weinan would certainly not have a heart-to-heart talk with Xiao Shi about these matters.
Shu Yu abruptly changed the subject, "Isn't there the Xiao family? I thought that since the Dongqing Temple Master is so famous, the Xiao family should pay close attention to her. The Temple Master has taken in a disciple, so much time has passed, they should know by now. I thought they had told you."
Madam Xiao shook her head, not thinking much about it. "Now that I think about it, the Xiao family has almost never told me about things in the court. I only know that many people care about the whereabouts of the Dongqing Temple Master, and the Xiao family should have sent people to look for her as well."
However, the whereabouts of the abbot of Dongqing Temple are too unpredictable, and it is impossible to find him.
In the past, some people would stake out Dongqing Temple, but after a year or two, they would not see anyone return. Some even heard that the abbot had returned, but they did not see him, so many people gave up hope.
Although Xiao didn't know much, she still found it incredibly unbelievable.
"The Abbot of Dongqing Temple actually accepts disciples! You are actually the Abbot of Dongqing Temple's disciple!!" She had heard that the Abbot had never accepted disciples and that he was very cold and distant towards everyone and everything.
Xiao asked curiously, "Did the abbot teach you... how to read faces?"
Shu Yu's lips twitched. "No, if I told you that I've only met my master once, you definitely wouldn't believe me."
Yes, Shu Yu had only just met the abbot of Dongqing Temple and had seen her master during the time she was recuperating at Dongqing Temple.
I haven't seen him since.
Xiao's mouth dropped open. "No way..."
"Why not? I haven't seen her for over two years, I don't even know what she looks like now."
Xiao Shi, "..."
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
I have never heard of a master and apprentice meeting only once.
She looked like she suddenly understood. "No wonder."
"No wonder what?"
"No wonder those people never looked for you, and never cared about you." No, only the new emperor valued her.
No wonder the one who ultimately ascended the throne wasn't the second or third prince, who fought to the death; the fifth prince was the one who truly had foresight and vision.
Madam Xiao raised her head. "You're right. After so much time, the Second Prince and the Third Prince should already know about the Dongqing Temple Master taking on a disciple. But they probably also know that you and the Temple Master aren't familiar with each other. Otherwise, with the Temple Master's abilities and skills, you wouldn't have been exiled."
If the master really cares about this disciple, why would he let her go through such a ordeal?
You should know that even the late emperor valued the abbot highly. Shu Yu was just an adopted daughter of the Shu family. If the abbot really wanted to protect her, it would actually be a very easy thing.
The abbess of Dongqing Temple remained indifferent to everything, including the other nuns in the temple and her disciple. This disciple, Shuyu, was probably no different from the other nuns.
Shu Yu touched her nose. How was she supposed to explain this? Should she say it was because it was a book, and the plot was so powerful that even the Abbot of Dongqing Temple might not be able to change it?
Or perhaps she herself didn't know what the Abbot of Dongqing Temple was thinking?
