Chapter 1270: Monks Don't Tell Lies
🕑 Added 2023-08-17 07:54:11 +0000 UTCChapter 1270: Monks Don't Tell Lies
Shu Yu's words left Sister Qiu speechless, but after hesitating for a moment, she said, "Monks don't tell lies."
Shu Yu understood; she was the disciple of the East Clear Temple's master, and that was a fact. As long as Master Miao came with her to ask, Sister Qiu wouldn't lie.
"Thank you, Sister Qiu. You are busy; I'll leave now."
She was in a hurry, so she didn't stay long and quickly ran out of the temple and down the mountain.
She wondered about the situation with Meng Yunzheng now.
At this moment, Meng Yunzheng was sitting in a teahouse with Master Miao.
After parting with Shu Yu, he followed the person from the Black Market.
Since this person was going to visit, after leaving the inn, he also went to buy some things.
Meng Yunzheng wanted to delay time, and there were two ways to do it. One was to create trouble for this person, and the other was to find an excuse for Master Miao so that they couldn't meet. However, if this person encountered any trouble on the way, he might grow suspicious and connect it to them, which would only cause more trouble.
It seemed that he had to take action from Master Miao.
Meng Yunzheng waited for the man to go buy something and then crossed him to go straight to the Miao Mansion.
He stopped at the gate of the Miao Mansion. There were people guarding it, and for someone like Meng Yunzheng, it wouldn't be a problem to enter the Miao family.
However, Master Miao was such a person, and there were likely many guards in the mansion. Meng Yunzheng didn't know the internal layout of the Miao Mansion, and if he entered rashly, he might expose himself. Moreover, it would take time to find Master Miao in the vast mansion, and by the time he found him, the person from the Black Market might have arrived.
He couldn't enter the Miao Mansion, so he could only lure Master Miao out.
The question was, how to do that? Meng Yunzheng didn't know Master Miao well enough to determine what kind of situation would make him come out immediately. According to the information he had received so far, apart from the "Fragrant Palace," there was also the "Dongqing Temple."
The "Fragrant Palace" was far away, and the news wouldn't reach here in time.
So, there was only the "Dongqing Temple" left.
Meng Yunzheng went to a nearby bookstore and bought a fancy invitation. He wrote a line on it and handed it to a relatively clean beggar nearby, asking him to deliver it to the mansion's gatekeeper.
The beggar gladly took a few copper coins and happily went to the gate of the Miao Mansion. He said to the frowning gatekeeper, "Sir, a young master asked me to deliver this invitation to Master Miao. He said it's about the Dongqing Temple."
The gatekeeper was about to drive the beggar away impatiently, but when he heard "Dongqing Temple," he hesitated for a moment.
As the gatekeeper, he naturally knew that Master Miao visited the Dongqing Temple every month.
So, he took the invitation and saw that it was well-crafted; it didn't look cheap.
The gatekeeper glanced at the beggar, intending to ask what the young master looked like, but the beggar had already run away.
The gatekeeper had no choice but to hurry back to the mansion.
Meng Yunzheng was standing not far away, watching the Miao Mansion and another street.
He wasn't sure if this bait would lure Master Miao out. If Master Miao didn't come out when the man from the Black Market arrived, he would have to execute another plan.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before Master Miao hurriedly left the mansion.
He looked around, furrowing his brows, and held an invitation in his hand.
It seemed that the Dongqing Temple was indeed important to Master Miao
This move was the right one.
After standing at the gate for a moment, he cursed softly and quickly left the Miao Mansion.
