Chapter 1395 Two Women
The next moment, the abbot of Dongqing Temple closed his eyes instantly.
Shu Yu, "..."
The joyful expression on her face froze, and she turned around to look at Meng Yunzheng blankly. "She must have seen me just now, right?"
Meng Yunzheng coughed lightly, nodded, and confirmed her, "Yes, I saw it."
"Then why did she close her eyes without saying a word, as if she didn't want to see me?"
Meng Yunzheng rubbed his nose. "You're overthinking it. Why wouldn't the abbot want to see you?"
"I didn't think too much about it. She just didn't want to see me, and she was definitely feeling guilty." Shu Yu was very certain of this, noticing the fleeting glance that the Abbot of Dongqing Temple gave her.
What are you feeling guilty about? Are you feeling guilty so you can confront her yourself?
Shu Yu gritted her teeth; if Meng Yunzheng hadn't been holding her hand, she would have rushed inside.
Just then, a commotion arose outside the crowd.
"Here he comes! Make way! The village chief is back. Clear the road!"
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng were standing by the door, so there was no need for them to move aside. They turned around and saw the crowd part to make way for a middle-aged man who walked over with his hands behind his back.
Behind the middle-aged man were two other people.
Both were women, one older and the other younger.
However, both of them looked very thin and frail, and their clothes were dusty and patched. Compared to the village chief walking in front, they were worlds apart.
As soon as Village Chief Zhong entered the courtyard, his family members surrounded him. The village chief pointed to the two people behind him.
The Zhong family shifted their gaze to the mother and daughter behind them, their eyes filled with criticism and dissatisfaction.
Both mother and daughter were a little nervous, with the younger one almost half-blocking the older one's way of being.
But the Zhong family did nothing. Village Chief Zhong went directly to the abbot of Dongqing Temple and whispered, "Immortal Master, as you said, I have found the person. Please take a look, is this her? Can you save my son's life?"
The abbess of Dongqing Temple finally opened her eyes again. Shu Yu, with her sharp eyes, saw her glance in her direction again, but quickly look away.
Shu Yu, “…” This has happened twice already, and you’re still pretending not to see it?
The abbot of Dongqing Temple quickly arrived in front of the mother and daughter and carefully examined the young girl.
After a moment, he nodded to Village Chief Zhong.
Village Chief Zhong and his family were momentarily disappointed, yet also pleased; their expressions were complex.
The abbot of Dongqing Temple said something else, and the Zhong family nodded repeatedly. Later, the Zhong family invited the mother and daughter into the house in a very kind manner, and their attitude had changed quite a bit from before.
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, not quite understanding what her master had said.
However, Village Chief Zhong quickly came out to chase people away and closed the courtyard gate.
Shu Yu reached out to block it, but when she looked up, she met the gaze of the Abbot of Dongqing Temple.
Then she silently lowered her hand, took a few steps back, and let the village chief close the door.
Some of the people outside the door quickly dispersed, but some remained gathered at the entrance, discussing the matter.
"Isn't that the Li family's daughter? What does the village chief want with her and her mother?"
"Who knows? I have a feeling it's related to that immortal. Do you think Hao's possession might be related to the Li family mother and daughter?"
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng stopped listening and walked out of the crowd, returning to the carriage.
Meng Yunzheng handed the water pouch to Shu Yu, and after watching her drink a couple of sips of water, he said, "I thought you would go straight in to see the abbot."
"No, Master has important business to attend to. We'll just wait outside."
