Xiao Cunyu was a little confused by the little girl's persistent gaze.
"Don't make a fuss, girl. This is your benefactor." Lian said hurriedly, while Guo Dalang was silent beside him. He was extremely afraid of Xiao Cunyu.
Now, when he heard that his grandfather's ghost had secretly seen him, he became even more panicked, fearing that his grandfather would despise him for not being upright or honest enough.
"Then who are you! You're not my uncle, so you... is your name fake too? You have no connection to our family at all? I, I will..." Guo Xiaomei was anxious, "How will I find you in the future?"
She pinched Xiao Cunyu's clothes tightly with her hands, as if she was worried that Xiao Cunyu would run away.
Fortunately, what I am wearing today is ordinary coarse cloth. If it were made of delicate material, Xiao Cunyu would probably feel sorry for the clothes.
"You little brat, you still want to find a half-immortal? It's just a chance encounter. Just treat it as a dream and forget it!" Xiao Cunyu said with a smile, "It's not good for a child to be too concerned about the Guo family's affairs."
"I don't! Who are you?" Guo Xiaomei was particularly persistent.
"..." Xiao Cunyu touched his nose. "Me? I'm your grandfather's old friend. I've practiced for decades and am almost reaching the heavens. Don't look at me as young as I am. In fact, I'm already in my seventies or eighties. But you can't tell anyone about this, otherwise they will mistake me for a monster."
She is full of nonsense again.
Guo Xiaomei really cried: "It's fake, what you said is fake, I can feel it, you are lying..."
“…” Xiao Cunyu’s eyelids twitched. Are children nowadays so hard to fool?
"My benefactor, my daughter... is so offensive. However, the three of us, mother and son, are just ordinary people. I am afraid we can never repay your kindness in this lifetime. Why don't you leave your name so that we can remember it and pray for you in the future." Seeing her daughter's look, Lian softened her heart and begged in a low voice.
"I'm..." Xiao Cunyu glanced at the little girl, thinking that she had been fearful since childhood and had a somewhat paranoid mind. If she got into trouble, it would be bad. He changed the subject and said, "My name is Xiao... Yulang."
"You should let go." Xiao Cunyu said to her again.
Guo Xiaomei was confused and was reluctant to open her hand.
Xiao Cunyu glanced at Guo Dalang again and said, "You are now a new person. Don't dwell too much on the past. From now on, I hope you can distinguish right from wrong and be upright."
Guo Dalang nodded: "I will."
"Yeah." Xiao Cunyu responded.
Ignoring the sad look in Guo Xiaomei's eyes behind him, he left immediately.
After she left, Guo Xiaomei cried so hard that she probably couldn't have been so sad even on the day her father died.
She was a tough person by nature. After crying for a while, she didn't know what was going on in her head. The next morning, she begged Lian to send her to practice.
She didn't know what cultivation was, she only knew that even though she had left the Guo family, she was still very resistant to the kinship in this world.
Whether it's my eldest brother or my mother, there always seems to be a layer between them.
She didn't know who Xiao Yulang was, but she knew that the word "cultivation" was the closest to him.
Lian tried to persuade her for several days but to no avail, so she had no choice but to inquire about the matter.
Nantai Temple recruits disciples all year round, both men and women, and those who are destined to be there will be accepted.
Guo Xiaomei walked in without even looking back. She was young but very smart. After entering the Nantai Temple, the abbot saw her and felt that she had a destiny with Taoism, so he kept her and asked her if she had a favorite character. She said the character "Yu" without thinking. The abbot of Qingfeng Temple was pleased that this young girl was smart, so he personally gave her a Taoist name: Qi Yu.
