Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1405: Chapter 1405: Meng Yunzheng Surrounded

Shu Yu asked the Dongqing Temple master about what he had done after returning from the southwest, and the latter only briefly explained.

Shu Yu wanted to inquire about the matter involving Shu Yu’s counterpart, but from the way her master spoke, it seemed she didn’t know about her swapping identities and the situation with Shu Yu’s counterpart.

The master said that her appearance changed after meeting Meng Yunzheng.

However, in fact, the first time she met Meng Yunzheng was also when she swapped identities with Shu Yu’s counterpart.

Perhaps her change in appearance was also related to that.

But since the master didn’t mention it, Shu Yu didn’t ask.

After finishing her questions, Shu Yu then talked about her experiences during this period, discussing the Lu family’s environment and her future plans.

Dongqing Temple master listened quietly without expressing any opinions, but her demeanor was very relaxed, seemingly satisfied and pleased with Shu Yu’s actions.

After an hour passed, the two finally stopped, realizing it was getting late and it was time to return home.

Shu Yu opened the private room door and went out, only to find Ying Xi still there at the entrance; she said Xia Yan had gone to Meng Yunzheng’s place.

Shu Yu nodded and then led the Dongqing Temple master and Ying Xi to the backyard.

The third floor and backyard of this inn were used for accommodation. Xun Sheng originally stayed on the third floor, but after becoming third place in the academy exam, the shopkeeper moved him to the backyard since it was quieter there.

He had come to find Meng Yunzheng earlier and then went together to the backyard.

Who could have expected that just as they reached the entrance to the backyard, they were startled by the noisy commotion inside.

The path ahead was heavily blocked, and the limited space in the backyard was filled with people.

“What’s going on here?” Shu Yu, sharp-eyed, seemed to recognize a few familiar scholars among the crowd, those she had seen earlier discussing academic matters in the downstairs lobby.

No wonder when they passed the lobby earlier, it was empty.

Shu Yu thought it was late, and they had left. Turns out they had relocated here.

What exactly were they doing here?

Shu Yu frowned, intending to make her way further inside when Xia Yan squeezed over from the side.

“Miss.”

His face and head were covered in sweat, looking rather strained.

“Miss and the temple master finished talking? Please wait a moment, I’ll fetch the Sir immediately.”

Shu Yu grabbed hold of him, “Wait, first tell me, what exactly is happening here?”

Xia Yan, quite troubled, lowered his voice and said, “Our Sir was having a good chat with Young Master Xun, intending to come out and wait for you at the door later. But then a scholar suddenly came looking for Young Master Xun, asking him to join the exchange with other scholars in the lobby. Since our Sir was in the room, Young Master Xun wanted to send the scholar away. However, the scholar was rather oblivious, and noticing Young Master Xun’s hesitance, he thought he was hiding something unspeakable in the room and insisted on going inside to see, directly pushing himself in. And that’s when he saw our Sir.”

To say he was oblivious was Xia Yan being diplomatic; in his mind, the scholar was downright ill-mannered.

After entering, he naturally saw Meng Yunzheng, and knowing who he was, rushed to call friends outside.

With so many scholars eager to find out where the mysterious Top Scorer Meng Yunzheng, who had vanished early in the morning, was—of course, everyone’s curiosity was piqued.

Thus, in no time, everyone from the lobby had flocked to the backyard, surrounding Meng Yunzheng and Xun Sheng in the center.
