After asking about the places and activities of Dongqing Temple master upon returning from the southwest, she just gave a brief explanation.
Shu Yu intended to ask about Little Shu Yu, but based on her master's words, she probably didn't know about the situation where they swapped places after she transmigrated into the novel.
Her master said that her physiognomy changed after meeting Meng Yunzheng.
But in reality, the first time she met Meng Yunzheng was when they swapped places with Little Shu Yu.
Perhaps, her changed physiognomy was related to that event.
However, since her master didn't mention it, Shu Yu didn't ask about it.
After finishing the questions, Shu Yu talked to her master about her experiences during this period and her future plans.
The Dongqing Sect Master listened quietly and didn't express any opinions, but she seemed satisfied and pleased with Shu Yu's actions.
After a while, they finally stopped talking. Seeing that it was getting late, it was time to go back home.
Shu Yu opened the box door and went out. At the entrance, only Ying Xi was present, and she said that Xia Yan went to Meng Yunzheng's place.
Shu Yu nodded and led the Dongqing Temple master and Ying Xi to the backyard.
The third floor and the backyard of this restaurant were used as accommodation areas. Xun Sheng originally stayed on the third floor, but now that he had achieved the third place in the county exam, the innkeeper moved him to the backyard where it was quieter.
Just now, he went to find Meng Yunzheng, and then they all went to the backyard together.
However, as they approached the entrance of the backyard, they were shocked by the commotion inside.
The way ahead was blocked, and the limited space of the backyard was filled with people.
"What's going on?" Shu Yu's eyes were sharp, and she seemed to recognize a few familiar examinees—those who were discussing academic matters in the lobby downstairs earlier.
No wonder when they passed the lobby just now, there was no one there anymore.
Shu Yu had thought they had left because it was getting late, but it turned out they had just moved their gathering spot to the backyard.
What were they doing here?
Shu Yu frowned. She was about to continue walking in when Xia Yan squeezed through the crowd.
"Miss."
He was sweating profusely and seemed to be struggling.
"Miss, have you finished talking with the Temple Master? Please wait a moment; I'll go in and bring the young master out."
"Wait a moment, tell me first, what's going on here?" Shu Yu pulled him back. She wanted to know the situation before proceeding.
Xia Yan spoke in a low voice, "Originally, our young master and Xun Sheng were having a nice conversation. The young master planned to come out and wait for you at the entrance later. However, a scholar suddenly came to find Xun Sheng and asked him to join the other examinees for discussions in the lobby. Our young master was still inside the room, so Xun Sheng wanted to get rid of the scholar. However, this scholar was impolite and suspicious of Xun Sheng's evasive behavior, suspecting that he was hiding something in his room. He insisted on going in and directly pushed him away, then he saw our young master."
Describing the scholar as "impolite" was Xia Yan's more gentle phrasing. In his heart, he considered the scholar to be rude and uncultured.
After the scholar entered the room, he naturally saw Meng Yunzheng and immediately called for his friends.
With so many examinees hearing that the mysterious top scorer, Meng Yunzheng, was here, who wouldn't be curious?
As a result, not long after, all the examinees from the lobby gathered in the backyard, surrounding Meng Yunzheng and Xun Sheng.
