Chapter 1565: Niu
Why was he fortunate? Because he ran into Lady Suyi.
If Niu hadn’t run into Lady Suyi, he would have starved to death at some random alley long ago. However, Lady Suyi didn’t just heal his injuries, she also fed him. Even after he recovered, he only needed to come here and do a bit of work to earn three meals a day.
“Niu... greets the lady. B-Bless you with good luck and fortune... m-may you live long and well...” Niu walked up to the entrance of the main hall and dropped to his knees. Then, he respectfully kowtowed to Lady Suyi while showering her with words of blessing. Although his actions were clumsy, and his speech was stuttery, he was serious, respectful, and sincere.
Lady Suyi did not try to stop him. Everyone in the monastery was used to this as well.
Since Lady Suyi rescued Niu, he kowtowed and offered her auspicious words almost every day. Lady Suyi tried to stop him at the beginning, but he insisted on this course of action no matter what.
Over time, Lady Suyi had no choice but to allow him to do as he pleased.
No one noticed that the back of Niu’s head had slowly split open to reveal a blue eye, however. It looked up, down, left and right while ripples of blue light formed many mysterious and profound runes. It looked like it could observe every direction and perceive even the most minute detail. It was observing anything and everything in the Taoist monastery.
A short while later, after confirming that nothing seemed to be amiss, the blue eye slowly shrank back into the back of Niu’s head. The wound also mended back to normal in the blink of an eye.
A moment later, Niu stopped kowtowing and bowed to Lady Suyi with his hands held in front. Then, he joined the others in their labor.
“White... White Boy? Where? Why... no see?” Niu asked the man beside him after working for a bit.
“Huh? It was just basking in the sun at the entrance a while ago. Did it disappear again?”
The man scratched his head but paid it no heed. He said uncaringly, “I guess the lady sent it away for some other business.”
