Her efforts in chasing after Wuzhuang Temple these past few days have all been in vain. In fact, as long as she doesn't ride the clouds or use magic, she can simply walk up there on her own two legs.
So Wuzhuang Temple is a no-fly zone?
...
...
Although she couldn't use magic, the stone steps didn't take much effort for Xu Milu. Before long, the two of them and the beast arrived at the mountain gate. Outside the Taoist temple, green pines welcomed guests, and willows provided shade, creating a beautiful scene. It was a secluded paradise, sheltered from the wind and snow outside the mountains.
Standing in front of the temple gate was a female Taoist novices dressed in a gray-blue robe. She had delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a neat red dot on her forehead, which made her look more composed.
—This must be the "bright moon" that Qingfeng was referring to.
"But it's Junior Sister Xu from Chang'an."
When Mingyue saw Xu Milu and Qingfeng going up the mountain together, a hint of doubt first appeared in her eyes before she spoke directly:
“I am Mingyue. Before my master left, he instructed that Junior Sister Xu could stay here as long as she wanted, and that we two should take good care of her. However, it is already late tonight, and the two beasts guarding the furnace may not be willing to open the door. Please rest in the guest room for a day, and I will come to invite you over tomorrow after I have made the necessary arrangements.”
Since they were being so polite, Xu Milu couldn't possibly force them, and besides, one night wasn't a long time. She immediately returned the greeting and thanked them.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Mingyue. It's my fault for being of low cultivation level. I've been wandering around at the foot of this mountain for more than a few days, which is why I'm late in coming up. I've made you wait for so long, and I really deserve a beating. It's already late today, and I don't look very presentable. I'll apologize to you tomorrow after I've finished cleaning up!"
Along the way, Qingfeng chatted with her and revealed a lot of information. For example, although he and Mingyue looked like children, they had actually cultivated in Wuzhuang Temple for more than three hundred years. In terms of age and seniority, she was worthy of being called "senior sister".
The names Qingfeng and Mingyue sounded familiar, but Xu Milu couldn't quite place where she had heard them before.
"No need for formalities. Junior sister's accommodations are already prepared. Please follow me. Qingfeng, come find me after you've finished tying up the chariot beast. You haven't finished your evening lessons yet. Be careful, or your master will punish you when he returns."
Mingyue seemed very uncomfortable interacting with people. She gave Qingfeng a few more instructions before taking out a lantern with a lit candle from her sleeve and leading Xu Milu into the backyard of the Taoist temple.
