The Moon Shrine on Mount Yunjin seemed untouched by the hot weather below. The little Taoist temple exuded a refreshing presence.
It feels like spring.
There is a padded bearing beside the temple pillar. A beautiful girl was sitting on a soft pillow.
Wearing a Taoist robe, he leaned against the pillar. He also held a very attention-grabbing fur fan in his hand and waved it slowly in his white-skinned hand.
The small bell on his wrist occasionally rang twice according to his movements.
His long hair was rolled into a small, half-sized bun. There is a wooden hair stick that is inserted horizontally into the bun. The black hair he did not carry spilled onto his shoulders. His long, narrowed eyes exuded a lazy impression.
"Oh!" The old man opposite him sighed a few times.
“It just happened a while, and you have sighed more than ten times now.” Xie Qiao stopped fanning his hands. He rubbed the fan feather with his other hand. “If you really don't want me to go, just let the kid go and get a message across. After all, they can't tie me with a rope.”
“You don't know anything.” The old Taoist teacher rolled his eyes.
“For the past few years, I have finally turned you into a half-eternal with a sage-like character. As you speak, all my hard work is in vain again. If someone sees your behavior, do you think the Taoist Temple will accept donations at all?” Xie Qiao grinned as he raised his eyebrows.
“Not that I act like this in front of others.” The Old Taoist snorted.
Xie Qiao coughed slightly. “You're so unreliable, and I'm so worried about that. I think I better not go.”
“It won't work. Our Water Moon Shrine cannot force a young woman from a good family to become a nun. You've lived here for years. Your father wants you to marry into a good family and live a normal life. If I stop him, he'll probably take my life.” When the old Taoist teacher thought of the bandit, he felt his heart pounding.
Time passes so fast!
He remembered what happened a few years ago. As he travels across mountains and rivers, he is kidnapped by the bastard, Xie Niushan.
Coincidentally, Xie Niushan's wife gave birth to a daughter with a deadly destiny. When he was born, his mother died. His father was also nearly killed by government officials.
The strategy adviser at the mountain fortress is quite capable and soon learns that the girl has a deadly influence on her own parents.
He gave some money to rebuild the Water Moon Temple, and the condition was to treat this girl well.
But he argued, and he offended others as he spoke. So, the Water Moon Temple would never accept donations. Things get better when the girl is old enough.
'Now that this girl is gone, that means the God of Wealth is going away.
'But it's not easy to stop him from going.'
"Then it's fine. Pack all your stuff and get out of here. If I can't manage this temple anymore, I'll ask for your help. After raising you for so many years, I can't believe your father would see me starving for not offering me food.” When the old Taoist teacher thought of this, he became very pleased with himself.
Xie Qiao smirked with his slightly pale lips.
He did not have any possessions and all the donation money belonged to the temple. He didn't need to bring any money because the Xie family wouldn't abuse him.
As they were talking, a young Taoist ran in. “Master, the woman asked when her sister could go?”
“I'll be there any minute.” Xie Qiao got up and cleaned up the dust that was not on his clothes. “Old man, I'm leaving. Don't forget to guard yourself from arrogance, impatience, alcohol, and lust.”
"Go go away! Are you the master or am I the master?! I don't need you to give me a lecture.” The old man rolled his eyes.
Xie Qiao walked out of the temple as if he was hovering.
Sunlight from outside shone on his face, highlighting his already bright complexion.
The Moon Water Temple is not very large and rarely receives visitors for overnight stays.
Just then, a group of people led by Lu were waiting in the main hall of the temple.
They became a little anxious after waiting for quite a long time.
“I haven't seen this girl in years. I have never seen him come home or visit us during the Lunar New Year. Mr. Xie loved her and asked me to pick her up in person. But look at him, it's been more than an hour, and he hasn't shown his face.”
