Shu Yu’s words left Daoist Nun Qiu speechless, but after a mont of hesitation, she said, "A monastic does not speak falsely."
Shu Yu understood, she was a disciple of the Dongqing Temple master, this was the truth. As long as Old Master Miao was brought to ask her, Daoist Nun Qiu would not lie.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Qiu. You go ahead with your tasks, I’ll take my leave first."
She was in a hurry, so she didn’t linger, quickly running out of the temple and heading down the mountain.
She wondered how things were going on ng Yunzheng’s end.
anwhile, ng Yunzheng was drinking tea in a teahouse, and sitting opposite him was Old Master Miao.
After parting ways with Shu Yu, he followed that interdiary from the black market.
This person, as he was to visit the residence, made a detour to buy so things after leaving the inn.
ng Yunzheng wanted to delay ti, and there were only two ways; one was to cause trouble for this person, the other was to make Old Master Miao have sothing to do, so it would be best if the two of them couldn’t et.
However, if this person from the black market was obstructed halfway, he might grow suspicious and associate it with them, inevitably causing more trouble at that ti.
It seed he would have to start with Old Master Miao.
While that person went to buy things, ng Yunzheng bypassed him and headed straight to the Miao Residence.
He stopped at the entrance of the Miao Residence; there were people guarding the entrance, and with ng Yunzheng’s skills, entering the Miao Family was not a problem.
But for soone like Old Master Miao, there would definitely be a lot of guards and servants inside the residence. ng Yunzheng was unfamiliar with the internal layout of the Miao Residence, and entering recklessly not only risked exposing himself but also wasted ti finding Old Master Miao within such a large residence, he might not even find him before the person from the black market arrived.
He couldn’t enter the Miao Residence, so he could only lure Old Master Miao out.
But how to lure him? ng Yunzheng wasn’t very familiar with Old Master Miao, what kind of situation would make him co out imdiately? According to the information he currently had, aside from the Piaoxiang Courtyard... it was the Dongqing Temple.
Piaoxiang Courtyard was too far, and any incident there would take too long to be reported back here.
So, it was only the Dongqing Temple.
ng Yunzheng went to a nearby bookstore and bought an invitation card, wrote a line on it, and then handed the card to a relatively cleanly dressed beggar nearby, instructing him to give it to the gatekeeper.
The beggar received a few copper coins and happily went to the entrance of the Miao Residence, saying to the frowning gatekeeper, "Sir, a gentleman asked to deliver this invitation card to Old Master Miao, saying it concerns the Dongqing Temple."
The gatekeeper, initially impatient and wanting to shoo the person away, hesitated when he heard about the Dongqing Temple.
As the gatekeeper, he naturally knew about Old Master Miao’s monthly visits to the Dongqing Temple.
So he took the invitation card, seeing its cover was quite exquisite and not so cheap item.
The gatekeeper glanced at the beggar, just about to ask what the gentleman looked like, but the beggar had already scampered off.
Left with no choice, the gatekeeper hurriedly returned to the residence.
ng Yunzheng stood not far away, watching both the Miao Residence and another street.
He wasn’t sure if such bait would be enough to lure Old Master Miao out; if the person from the black market ca and Old Master Miao hadn’t left, he would have to implent another plan.
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Old Master Miao ca out with a hurried expression.
He looked around, his brows furrowed tightly, still holding that invitation card in his hand.
It seed the Dongqing Temple was indeed quite important to Old Master Miao. This move was the right one.
After standing at the entrance for a mont, Old Master Miao cursed under his breath and quickly left the Miao Residence gate.
