Chapter 10: That Frivolous Old Man Dared To touch This Palace!? (2)

How dare you touch this palace, you frivolous old man?!

Xuan Qing stopped midway because the back of his hand was directly hit. He could not stretch out his hand anymore so shamelessly.

Wang-shi was extremely embarrassed and said wryly, “This child is afraid of strangers.”

Xuan Qing waved his hand indifferently. “Perhaps we are not fated.”

After a pause, he took a piece of jade from his bosom and gave it to Wang-shi. “This is a jade pendant that has been used for many years before the ancestor god. It is rare to see each other today, so this poor Taoist will give it to this little devotee…”

Wang-shi quickly handed over her granddaughter to mama Xia. She took the jade pendant with her own hands as if she had received a treasure. “Thank you, Master!”

After speaking, she gave the jade pendant to Xu Yun Yao, as if handing over a family heirloom.

Xu Yun Yao grabbed the jade pendant and hurled it to the ground.

Dare to put that frivolous old man’s thing, This Palace doesn’t like it!

After a brief encounter, this Taoist priest gave her a very uncomfortable feeling, especially when she noticed the look in his eyes, which was even more intense.

She has read countless people in her past life, particularly sensitive to hostile eyes. She was sure that she was not wrong.

The Jade Pendant fell into a small puddle on the ground and got soaked instantly.

Xuan Qing’s face changed drastically, and he murmured, “The Will of Heaven! The Will of Heaven!”

Repeating these words, the priest didn’t pay them any more attention, turned around, and stumbled away.

Wang-shi picked up the jade pendant distressedly, wiped the dirty water with her veil, watched her granddaughter, and sighed.

Xu Yun Yao pretended not to see and turned around in mama Xia’s arms.

“You, your temper is just like your father’s was when he was a kid!” Wang-shi helplessly squeezed her granddaughter’s face.

What nonsense! How can I look like that old man? Xu Yun Yao snorted.

The grandmother and granddaughter did not stay long and returned to the mansion.

Somewhere in a private room.

“Well?”

“It’s the will of heaven, beyond human power. You’d better bury her.”

A few days later, the head of Chaoyun Temple, Taoist Xuan Qing left to travel all over the world. In the next ten years, no pilgrim had ever seen him.

***

Wang-shi took her granddaughter back to the main house and told Ruan-shi what happened in Chaoyun Temple. Upon hearing this, Ruan-shi was also distressed and regretful. “Is this jade pendant stained with dirty water?”

Wang-shi sighed. “There will definitely be some damage. Let me pray to our old ancestor for a while.”

“That’s the only way.” Ruan-shi regretfully and angrily poked on the daughter’s forehead. “You!”

Xu Yunyao continued to act ignorant, lying in her arms and looking at He Shaoting, who was sitting quietly beside Zhou gē er. She listened to their mutterings and suddenly felt a bit deflated.

The young general was really hard to get close to and had a strong defensive heart. Clearly, she was no more harmless than any little girl. Why did he put his guard up against her? Even when she was teased by the cute boy Mian gē er, he just stood by and was not friendly at all.

“Madam, the master called for little Tiang gē er, saying that he wanted to ask him a few questions.” Mo Yan came in to report.

Ruan-shi did not think much and agreed.

He Shaoting turned pale, subconsciously pulling his tight cuffs.

When Xu Yun Yao saw his little movement, she took Ruan-shi’s hand, pointed her small finger at the door, and called out sweetly, “Dad, Dad…”

Ruan-shi froze for a moment, then said with joy, “Finally, you are able to say ‘Dad’. If your Dad hears, I don’t know how happy he will be!”

Xu Yun Yao was very patient with this stupid woman and kept pulling her. “Dad, go find Daddy.”

“Little Treasure wants to find Dad? But Dad is very busy at the moment. After he finishes his work, Mom will take you to see Dad,” Ruan-shi explained softly.

Xu Yun Yao simply let go of her hand and walked toward He Shaoting, who was planning to follow Mo Yan to meet Tang Song Nian, like a little duck. She also continued to scream, “Find, Dad, Dad…”

Ruan-shi caressed her forehead.

How could this girl behave so smartly? Knowing that Ting’ ger will go to her father, she relied on him at the moment.

He Shaoting shot a glance at the little devil and looked at Ruan-shi and then Mo Yan, feeling at a loss.
