Chapter 205 Trespassing My Place
With that frail body, she wanted to kill me? I don't know what she was thinking.
"You're the one who trespassed on my property, and you're blaming me for listening to your vicious schemes? Look at this perfectly nice young girl, how can you be so malicious?"
The man, dressed in flowing purple robes, exuded an ethereal elegance, his stunningly beautiful face further highlighting his otherworldly birth. Paired with the vibrant lotus blossoms, he possessed a certain refined grace.
However, Gu Shuyan had no time to appreciate the man's appearance. Although he looked gentle, Gu Shuyan had a feeling that he was no good person.
"I disturbed your peace, and you listened to my conversation. Now we're even. Farewell."
As she spoke, Gu Shuyan clasped her hands in a fist salute to the man, then turned to leave.
Seeing that Gu Shuyan was about to leave, the man in purple took a few steps past her and blocked her way.
"Isn't it a bit too heartless for you to leave like this? You yourself said that you disturbed my peace and quiet, so shouldn't you at least show some remorse?"
The man approached her like a rogue, but Gu Shuyan turned and glanced at him sideways. "I am not acquainted with you, sir. Please step aside."
What if I don't allow it?
Even though the man in purple was shameless, he still had an air of ethereal grace.
If it were any other girl, she would probably be so captivated by her appearance that she would have lost all sense of direction.
Unfortunately, standing in front of him was Gu Shuyan, a woman who was unmoved by him.
"Get out of the way."
Gu Shuyan stepped forward, shoved the man aside, and led Pearl away quickly.
"master?"
A man in black appeared behind him, somewhat puzzled by his master's behavior.
"Go prepare some gifts; we'll go to the Marquis of Yi'an's residence tomorrow."
As he spoke, the man glanced meaningfully in the direction Gu Shuyan had left, and then stepped away from the lotus pond.
Gu Shuyan returned to the main hall where incense was offered. Ji Shi had not yet come out. After looking at the Buddha statue in front of her, Gu Shuyan simply moved to the courtyard in front of the main hall.
Ultimately, she was also a resurrected evil spirit. Standing in the Buddhist hall listening to the scriptures, Gu Shuyan still felt somewhat strange. It was better to come to this courtyard; at least she could look around freely.
"The female benefactor has finally arrived."
A Buddhist monk who was sweeping the floor saw Gu Shuyan and put his palms together in prayer.
Seeing this, Gu Shuyan quickly followed his example and put her hands together in prayer, asking curiously, "Is Master waiting for me? But I don't remember ever seeing Master before."
This was her first time going out to offer incense since her rebirth, and the people in the temple shouldn't possibly recognize her.
Seeing Gu Shuyan's confusion, the Buddhist monk smiled and said, "This humble monk has never met you before, but I am here precisely to wait for you."
Why wait for her if you've never seen her before? Gu Shuyan looked at the kind-looking old monk. Could he be a fraud?
“I know what you are thinking, female benefactor. I am not a fraudster. I have only come to give you something.”
As he spoke, the old monk took out a well-worn-looking talisman and handed it to Gu Shuyan.
Gu Shuyan glanced at it; it was just an ordinary peace charm, nothing special.
Seeing that Gu Shuyan wouldn't take it, the old monk simply forced it into her hand. "This isn't for you, female benefactor. Give it to the person who is important to you when you get back. It can save his life in the future. Remember to give it to him."
After saying this, the old monk picked up his broom and left the front of the hall. Gu Shuyan looked at the unremarkable peace charm and eventually put it away.
