The master acted quickly; the next day, he had her pack her things and take Rong Ning down the mountain.
And no one was informed beforehand.
The master often went on pilgrimages, so her sudden disappearance didn't seem to bother the people at Linghua Temple. They figured she would come back once she had had enough of her travels and wanted to rest.
As long as Linghua Temple remains on this mountain, the master's final resting place will be here.
However, they did not inform the Yuwang Mansion in Nanyang City before they left. It was ten days to half a month later when Rong Ning's family learned that they were no longer at Linghua Temple.
At this moment, Rong Ning was already in the rice paddies to the south, following behind her master, helping the elderly man plant rice seedlings.
The scorching sun made her dizzy, and all she could hear were her master's shouts, all criticizing her for being too slow and for not planting the rice seedlings in a straight line, saying it looked ugly!
From the day I came down the mountain, these days continued one after another.
Boring and tiring with no end in sight.
Her master didn't teach her martial arts; he just took her to do chores, making her work everywhere.
Rong Ning wasn't someone who couldn't endure hardship, but she also couldn't tolerate this kind of boring life. Moreover, Rong Ning felt that this kind of life was meaningless to her.
She went to Linghua Temple to learn skills, not to suffer this kind of humiliation.
But why was she still so patiently following her master? Why didn't she rise up and resist?
Oh…
It's impossible not to resist!
Moreover, given Rong Ning's personality, her resistance was quite strong.
But unfortunately... her resistance was futile!
Why?
Simple!
Because we can't beat them!
Rong Ning was combative and of extremely noble status. Anyone who provoked her would be attacked, and no one dared to really hurt her. Therefore, she was invincible in Nanyang City.
But things are different now. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. The people in the Yuwang Mansion don't even know where she is, so they can't do anything about it.
Moreover, her master doesn't even give face to her father, the emperor, let alone a ten-year-old child like her.
Give them a good beating or a good scolding!
Show no mercy!
When Rong Ning turned ten, no one dared to touch a hair on her head. However, during this time, she suffered every kind of beating she had never experienced before.
The master's strategy was to be even more combative in front of combative people.
It's simple and crude, but it works.
Rong Ning is combative, but she also admires strength. If her master is stronger than her, then she is happy to accept it.
In this way, the master managed to train Rong Ning to be completely obedient.
If the master points east, it will never go west; it will never jump around again, becoming as obedient as a cat with its fur stroked.
Later, Rong Ning couldn't care less about anything else; all she wanted was to finish transplanting the rice seedlings and find a place to get some sleep. She no longer thought about the people and things in Nanyang City.
Her father couldn't do anything about her master, and he knew that her master wouldn't harm Rong Ning, so he let them go.
However, Rong Ning and her master left in a hurry this time, without telling anyone, and naturally they didn't take care of Mo'er, whom they had just taken in.
Of course, there's no need to worry about that. Linghua Temple has people specifically assigned to handle all sorts of miscellaneous matters. As long as Mo'er stays at Linghua Temple, she can spend each day peacefully.
Once the master felt that Rong Ning's temperament had been corrected, he took Rong Ning back to Linghua Temple.
That was six months later.
In the past six months, her mentor has shown her the hardships faced by many ordinary people, and she has learned that they can be so humble as to be reduced to dust just to survive.
It's understandable why Mo'er was so eager for Rong Ning to take her in.
To be honest, before she went down the mountain with her master, the only person she knew well at Linghua Temple was Mo'er.
Based on this, she shouldn't have looked down on Mo'er's humble pleas from such a superior position.
Looking back now, Rong Ning felt she was no human being and wished she could turn back time and slap herself a few times.
So the first thing she did upon returning to Linghua Temple was to go find Mo'er.
They searched the entire mountain but couldn't find anyone.
Later, the people at the temple said that Mo'er had been taken down the mountain by her family a month ago.
