Chapter 25: The Cold Buddhist Fell from the Altar (25)



"Miss, didn't you like doing homework with Master Lechen before? Why are you deliberately not seeing him now?"

Ruyan walked into the room and saw Li Xia sitting by the window with her eyes lowered. She stepped forward and asked the question in her mind.

Li Xia raised her eyes slightly and asked instead of answering: "Did he leave? Did he say anything?"

"After Master Liaochen heard what the young lady asked Ruyan to say, he just looked at the closed door for a while, told me to take good care of the young lady, and left." Ruyan replied truthfully.

After hearing this, Li Xia nodded and said "hmm".

She moved her gaze and looked towards the courtyard outside the window.

Winter is approaching, and the leaves of the small trees in the yard have all fallen, leaving only bare branches, which looks a little desolate.

Before she knew it, she had been in Lianhua Temple for twenty days.

Although the time was not long, a lot happened.

Li Xia originally planned to stay in Lianhua Temple for two months.

But after experiencing the bad things last night, her mood has changed a little.

"Ruyan, go pack up and we'll be down the mountain soon." Li Xia gave the order.

"Miss, are we going to play under the mountain?"

Li Xia shook her head, "No, go back home."

Chu Ziyu thought that everything would be fine once he left Lianhua Temple and he would be able to escape justice.

She could save his life.

As for that thing, there's no need to keep it.

"Ah! Go back home?" Ruyan stared with her eyes wide open, "Miss, did Ruyan hear it right just now?"

The young lady actually decided to go back home?

But when she left the house before, didn’t she say that she would practice asceticism in Lianhua Temple for two months?

Ruyan glanced at Lixia and knew she had not heard wrong.

"Miss, that Qingxiu..." She blinked, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Ruyan is worried about Lixia's health.

After all, coming to the Lotus Temple to practice meditation was what the immortal in the young lady’s dream said.

We agreed to practice meditation for two months, but now only twenty days have passed.

What if the gods get angry and withdraw their protection from the young lady, wouldn't she be bedridden again?

Ruyan swallowed her saliva and advised, "Miss, the immortals told you to stay in the Lotus Temple for two months to completely get rid of the disease. Now that the deadline has not yet arrived, we should stay in the Lotus Temple for a while longer."

Life in the temple was poor and boring.

Ruyan naturally wanted to go back home.

But for the sake of the young lady's health, she could still endure it.

Li Xia recalled the lie she had told that day in order to come to Lianhua Temple to get close to the male protagonist of the world.

Sure enough, once a person tells a lie.

You will have to face the situation of having to cover up your lies with lies.

"I have already asked the gods. The purpose of practicing asceticism is to cultivate one's body and mind. It is also okay to do so at home." Li Xia knew Ruyan's worries, so she had to cover up the lie.

"real?"

Ruyan's eyes lit up.

Li Xia nodded without changing her expression, "Yes, it's true."

"Miss, wait a minute. I'll pack my bags right away. We'll be able to return home tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow."

Ruyan happily started to clean up the room.

"Ruyan, don't tell anyone for the time being that we are leaving Lianhua Temple. I will personally explain to the abbot." Li Xia gave some instructions to the busy Ruyan.

Her thoughts were a little confused.

Subconsciously, I didn't want Lechen to know about this.

They had known each other for less than a month.

But Li Xia had a vague feeling that he was not as cold as he seemed.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she decided to leave without saying goodbye.

Ruyan stopped what she was doing and scratched her head in confusion, "Miss, you can't tell anyone, does that include Master Chen?"

"right."

"Oh, Ruyan knows. I only listen to the young lady. I will do whatever the young lady says."

Ruyan saw Lixia nodded and didn't worry about it anymore.

She just thought that the lady had her own reasons for doing so.

As the young lady's personal maid, she only needs to obey the young lady's orders.

After Li Xia made the decision to leave Lianhua Temple, Ruyan packed their bags the next day.

However, Li Xia did not choose to go down the mountain immediately.

But waiting for an opportunity.

It wasn't until the fifth day that the opportunity Li Xia wanted came.

This was also her twenty-fifth day at Lianhua Temple.

“Knock knock knock—”

Li Xia was in the house. There was a knock on the door, but she didn't get up. It seemed that she guessed who was knocking on the door.

Lechen has come to see her these days.

Li Xia always asked Ruyan to come forward and ask him to go back on the pretext that she was taking a rest.

"Donor Li, I am ordered by my master to go down the mountain and will be back in about two days."

Liaochen noticed Li Xia's sudden indifference.

He didn't know the reason.

She has remained shut in for five days.

He wanted to come secretly at night, but she reinforced the doors and windows, obviously to prevent him.

Lechen had no choice but to give up.

Just give her a few days and she will see him one day.

“Squeak—”

"Li..."

"Master Liaochen, I am your servant."

When Lechen saw the door open, he thought it was Li Xia who came out. But when he saw it was Ruyan who opened the door, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

After hearing that he was going down the mountain and leaving the temple, she still didn't want to come out to see him?

Liaochen felt mixed emotions in his heart, a feeling that was hard to describe.

It felt like there was a ball of cotton blocking his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Master Lechen, my young lady asked me to tell you that Master Lechen should go and do his work with peace of mind. Young lady will see you when you come back." Ruyan said every word to Lechen as Lixia instructed.

She didn't know why the young lady lied to Master Chen.

But the lady didn't allow her to ask too many questions.

Although she is not as smart as the young lady.

But that doesn't mean she is blind.

In fact, during this period of time, she vaguely discovered that the young lady and Master Liaochen were getting a little too familiar with each other.

But because of Master Lechen's identity, she didn't think too much about it.

"Ah Li... Did Patron Saint Li really say that?"

Lechen was so excited that he almost exposed himself.

He changed the address without panicking.

Ruyan was just thinking about something with her head down, and didn't hear the first half of Chen's sentence.

"Yes, these are the young lady's exact words." She nodded.

After Liaochen got a positive answer, all the chaotic emotions in his heart disappeared.

He covered his mouth and coughed lightly, his face showing the same cold expression as usual.

"You go in and take care of Mr. Li. I'm leaving now."

Liaochen clasped his hands together and nodded slightly.

Ruyan watched Chen's back disappear at the end of the backyard before she turned around and went back.

"Miss, Ruyan told Master Chen what you said, and he left after hearing it."

Li Xia said calmly, "Ruyan, you can go down the mountain now to notify the driver to come up."

They don't have much stuff.

It is enough for the driver to go up the mountain once to move the goods.

"Yes, ma'am."

Ruyan nodded.

Li Xia stood up from the chair, adjusted the hem of her skirt, and smoothed the creases on it. "Let's go. I should also go and say goodbye to the abbot."

The two of them left the room together.

Walking out of the backyard, he headed in the opposite direction.
