Capítulo 1268: Chapter 1268: Old Master Miao’s Wish

Knowing well that Shu Yu was pretending to be pitiful, Daoist Nun Qiu was nonetheless at a loss for words to refute her.

The Daoist nuns of Dongqing Temple had great faith in the temple master, so there was always unity and cohesion within the temple; even in the temple master’s absence, it stood firm like a Stabilizer.

As for the disciple accepted by the temple master, no one in Dongqing Temple would consider her lightly.

In fact, Daoist Nun Qiu knew more than the average nun; she knew that Shu Yu had returned with glory after her exile, recognized her as a good girl, and was aware that the temple master’s previous trip to the southwest was largely for her sake.

Now she encountered a problem, obviously relating to Old Master Miao, and she really wasn’t an outsider…

Daoist Nun Qiu convinced herself before helplessly saying, “I shall tell you.”

Shu Yu hurriedly handed over a cup of tea earnestly, “Please speak, Senior Sister Qiu.”

Daoist Nun Qiu did not take the cup of tea, but let her sit down before she began to speak slowly, “Indeed, Benefactor Miao comes here once a month, regardless of the date, but each time he stays for about half an hour. He comes here because his sister’s longevity lamp is within the temple.”

“Old Master Miao’s sister?”

Daoist Nun Qiu clearly knew more, “It is said that Benefactor Miao was raised solely by his sister. In their childhood, life was tough, and his sister endured many hardships to raise her younger brother, eventually marrying the wrong person. When Benefactor Miao grew older, his sister died an unnatural death.”

Miao Family’s elder sister did not die peacefully, her end was even somewhat tragic. In an effort to avenge his sister, Old Master Miao underwent a transformation in personality, becoming ruthless and relentless, often crossing moral boundaries.

Piaoxiang Courtyard was something that Old Master Miao seized from his enemies.

Back then, Old Master Miao was only eighteen years old. Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI★Fire.net

Daoist Nun Qiu said, “It is heard that Benefactor Miao was exceptionally intelligent as a child, and once such a person strays, the consequences become dire. Previously, with his sister around, there was someone to watch over and guide him. After his sister passed away, with no one to restrain him and burdened with vengeance, Benefactor Miao’s character turned extremely radical.”

It is only now, with age, that he has become more discreet and less sharp, occasionally willing to make concessions.

In the earlier years, anyone who offended him would truly face an unfortunate fate.

After listening, Shu Yu frowned slightly, realizing that Old Master Miao cared most for his sister, yet she was already gone.

This is quite troubling.

Unwilling to give up, Shu Yu asked, “Whenever Old Master Miao visits, does he say anything?”

Daoist Nun Qiu shook her head, “He speaks with his sister, and we couldn’t possibly stand nearby to overhear—what a spectacle that would be.”

Shu Yu sighed, feeling quite distraught.

Seeing her in such distress, Daoist Nun Qiu couldn’t help but add, “However, Benefactor Miao wishes to move his sister’s longevity lamp to the place of the ancestor, but the temple master refused.”

“Why was it refused?”

“Though Benefactor Miao has donated quite a bit of oil money to the temple, and each visit is conducted reverently with etiquette, the temple master has some understanding of his actions. Despite Benefactor Miao’s sister being a woman of ill fate, the temple master never agreed.”

Shu Yu pondered, so is Old Master Miao’s greatest desire now to move his sister’s longevity lamp to the ancestor’s place?

Yet her master disagrees, and her master is absent.

Shu Yu thought for a moment and asked again, “Are there any requirements to move the longevity lamp to the ancestor’s place?”
