Is Chapter 273 really that powerful?
Zi Xiao fell silent, nodded, and remained silent.
After settling in, Ye Qing asked again, "Which temple is Abbot Minghua from?"
"Ah..." Zixiao seemed not to have expected Ye Qing'an to ask such a question. She was stunned for a moment before she reacted: "Miss doesn't even know Abbot Minghua?"
"I don't know." Ye Qing'an shook his head honestly: "When I was in Wangjing City, I never left the house. And when I was just old enough to understand things, I was busy taking care of Feiran all day long. I had no idea what was happening outside."
I see……
Zi Xiao nodded before saying, "Abbot Minghua was once the abbot of Huguo Temple and a very famous and highly respected monk in our Siyou Kingdom. He was invited by three emperors to serve as the national preceptor of our Siyou Kingdom, and Abbot Minghua served as the national preceptor for more than ten years..."
"But later, Abbot Minghua said that he practiced Buddhism not to become the national preceptor, but to benefit all under heaven, so he resigned from the position of national preceptor."
Ye Qing'an exclaimed, "It's the Imperial Advisor again?"
Zi Xiao laughed: "But Abbot Minghua served as the Imperial Preceptor sixty or seventy years ago, during the reign of the emperor before him. Although our current emperor once invited Abbot Minghua to serve as the Imperial Preceptor, he refused. Only after Abbot Minghua refused did the matter of Abbot Jiran come about."
"However, although they have all served as the national teachers of Siyou Kingdom, Abbot Minghua's reputation and prestige in Siyou Kingdom are unmatched by ten Abbots Jieran."
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "Is it that impressive?"
Zi Xiao nodded: "Ordinary people would never even dream of having Abbot Minghua read their fortune or tell their destiny. If Abbot Minghua doesn't have any ulterior motives, then Miss is truly very lucky."
Ye Qing'an bit her lip: "If that's the case, then Abbot Minghua isn't someone I could invite. Since others couldn't invite him, there's no question of ulterior motives. Besides, when Abbot Minghua was interpreting my destiny, only my father and I were there; no one else knew. After interpreting the destiny, he left immediately, without asking for anything..."
"It doesn't seem like someone has bribed you with ulterior motives."
Zi Xiao nodded: "That's true."
Ye Qing'an didn't speak again, but squinted and glanced out of the carriage through the corner of the curtain that was lifted by the wind. The steward who had been riding alongside her carriage had driven his horse to the front and was now riding alongside Ye Qinghao's carriage.
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "I'm going to take a short nap."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an closed her eyes and didn't see the steward turn around and glance at her carriage.
Inside the carriage, Ye Qinghao narrowed his eyes slightly: "She asked who Abbot Minghua was?"
"Yes." The butler nodded. "Judging from the young lady's expression and tone, it doesn't seem like she's faking it."
"Hmm." Ye Qinghao responded, "You also went to inquire about her situation in the manor before. At that time, it was indeed as she said. She wasn't lying. Given her situation, it's normal that she didn't know who Abbot Minghua was."
The butler nodded: "And the young lady must have had some suspicions before, that Abbot Minghua, like the previous Abbot Jieran, had been bribed to harm her. But the young lady is right about one thing: a person like Abbot Minghua is not someone that ordinary people can bribe."
"Hmm." Ye Qinghao responded softly: "So, Abbot Minghua really just happened to meet us, just happened to see Qing'an, thought her appearance was special, and gave her a fortune reading?"
"That's the only explanation," the butler replied in a low voice. "The master taking the young lady out today was a spur-of-the-moment decision."
"Hmm." Ye Qinghao remained silent for a while before saying, "I understand."
Ye Qinghao lowered the carriage curtain and silently turned the jade thumb ring on his finger. Ye Qing'an had indeed mentioned before that her luck had improved a lot this year.
First, Xu Mo repaired her dantian, enabling her to cultivate, and then she saved Consort Lan...
Although these two events did not occur at the Ye residence, they were indeed of great help to Ye Qing'an.
After returning to the Ye residence, Ye Qing'an's every move was under Ye Qinghao's watchful eye. Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan were constantly plotting against her, but despite her weak spiritual power and lack of any ability to build her own power within the residence, she was still able to turn misfortune into good fortune and danger into safety every time.
On the contrary, those who have been targeting her seem to have met with bad ends.
Ye Qinghao twirled the jade thumb ring faster and faster. After a while, he turned to the steward outside and asked, "Did the people you sent to the estate to inquire about the young lady's whereabouts find out anything?"
"What we've found out has already been reported to the master..." The steward paused, "However, I've arranged for someone to stay at the estate, specifically in the thatched hut where the young lady used to live, to investigate thoroughly. I'll send someone to summon him back and ask him if he's found out anything new."
"Row."
Ye Qinghao and the butler were talking about Ye Qing'an, but Ye Qing'an had already entered the Dreamland of Clouds.
Upon arriving at the Cloud Dreamland, they saw that Jiu Xiao was already there, still holding the chicken leg that Ye Qing'an had bought for him when they met earlier, and he was eating it with relish.
Upon seeing Ye Qing'an, Jiu Xiao stood up, slightly raised his chin, and wore a smug expression, as if requesting praise.
"Abbot Minghua, not bad, you've made excellent arrangements."
Jiuxiao swallowed the chicken in his mouth and chuckled, "Right? Hahaha, I also think I'm super awesome..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiu Xiao noticed that Ye Qing'an's whip was now positioned in front of him.
"What are you doing?" Jiu Xiao's eyes widened suddenly. "What are you doing? I've done everything for you, and you're still treating me like this? What do you want to do? Waaaaah..."
"Abbot Minghua, was he really invited by you?"
When Jiu Xiao heard Ye Qing'an ask this, his eyes darted around, and he sounded noticeably weak in voice: "Then...of course, didn't you give the order? You only gave the order to me, right? Who else could it be but me?"
"Who else could it be but you?" Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips, but to Jiu Xiao, the smile seemed to be laced with poison: "You should be the one to ask that."
"Do you know who this Abbot Minghua is?"
“I…I know…the former Grand Preceptor of Siyou Kingdom…”
