The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1404: Chapter 1404: The Truth Back Then

Shu Yu was taken aback for a moment, ”Master, you agreed to this just like that? Actually, I only agreed to meet Old Master Miao with you, not necessarily to move his sister’s longevity lamp.”

”I understand, but there’s no need for a meeting. I still have to go to the capital, and I’m not sure when I’ll be back. Moreover, although Old Master Miao has been somewhat unscrupulous in his dealings over the years, his sister was indeed a kind and gentle person. She had visited Dongqing Temple when she was alive, and it seems Old Master Miao’s persistence stems from his sister’s wishes.”

Shu Yu hesitated for a moment before accepting the letter.

The Dongqing Temple master said, ”If you worry that Old Master Miao might become even more extreme in the future, you can relay what I just said to him.”

”Yes, Master.”

After talking about Old Master Miao, the Dongqing Temple master looked at her again.

Now it’s time to talk about serious matters, isn’t it?

Instead, Shu Yu chuckled, ”Master, there’s one more question: last time you went to the southwest, you...”

”If you don’t seriously ask me the question now, Young Master Meng will be back soon.”

Shu Yu immediately asked, ”Why, after knowing I wasn’t the Shu family’s daughter, did Master not tell me directly but informed the Shu family instead?”

See, look how fast and seriously she asked this time?

The Dongqing Temple master smiled and said, ”I know this matter has been weighing on your mind for a long time. Last time in the southwest, I intended to explain it to you when we met, but I missed the opportunity. Actually, it’s not for any special reason, only that you have a fated calamity, destined in your life. Informing the Shu family was to bring this calamity forward; only by doing so could there be a chance to resolve it.”

Shu Yu was suddenly stunned and looked at her in shock, ”A deadly calamity?”

She didn’t expect the reason to be this, ”If the Shu family hadn’t acted against me, where would this calamity have occurred?”

”After the exile, you would have lost your life in the southwest, and it couldn’t be resolved. I wouldn’t be able to save you.”

Shu Yu’s fingers slowly clenched, ”So, Master, you went to the southwest also because you were worried my deadly calamity hadn’t been completely resolved, to protect me once more?”

”Although your deadly calamity has been averted, under my intervention, there is still the worry of future troubles. However, you have good fortune, having met someone truly devoted to you. Although your birthdates and eight characters aren’t favorable, strangely enough, when put together, your physiognomy changed, and I can finally be at ease.”

Originally, whether it was Meng Yunzheng or Shu Yu, both had the aspect of a short life.

But after they met for the first time at the Dongqing Temple, their physiognomy changed considerably.

The Dongqing Temple master, who was considered knowledgeable and experienced, had never seen such a wondrous thing.

It was due to this oddity that she kept Shu Yu at the temple to recuperate, letting her stay for half a month.

Subsequently, she discovered that this little girl had a good temperament, constantly staying close, entwining and clinging to her. Even without any talent for face reading, she persistently wanted to learn. Ultimately, the Dongqing Temple master could not resist and accepted her as a disciple.

Since she became her master, it wasn’t proper not to address her destined calamity, hence, after knowing Shu Yu’s abilities, she informed the Shu family of her true identity.

She wanted to give Shu Yu a heads-up beforehand, but doing so wouldn’t have resolved the calamity.

Now that the calamity had passed, there was no need to worry anymore.

Shu Yu hadn’t expected her physiognomy change to be related to Meng Yunzheng, but on second thought, throughout the exile, everything had indeed been meticulously arranged by him.

She arrived at the exile area safe and sound, later being granted the title of Village Chief upon returning, largely thanks to Meng Yunzheng’s outstanding contributions.
