As soon as the Ji Da sounded, the daughter-in-law made a brilliant appearance!

Chapter 138: Taoist sister, you must be responsible for me!

Aunt Feng asked with a worried look on her face: "Niannian, where is the person who left with you..."

"She has some important matters to take care of, but don't worry, Aunt Feng, she will arrive in time when we return. You don't have to worry too much." Zhi Nian hurriedly comforted.

However, despite what Zhi Nian said, Aunt Feng's expression was obviously full of doubt, and she seemed not to believe what Zhi Nian said.

In her opinion, this seemed more like an excuse made up by Zhi Nian.

Zhi Nian naturally noticed the change in Aunt Feng's expression and felt a little amused.

How come even Aunt Feng doesn’t trust me?

But she did not explain too much, because she firmly believed that Shui Yuci would come as promised.

It turned out that Shui Yuci followed Lin Yu back to Qingfeng Temple.

After all, Shui Yuci has decided to "go home" with Zhi Nian, so naturally she has to return to the Taoist temple first to report to her master.

There are still five days before the return date, but Zhi Nian does not feel anxious at all.

She lives her life leisurely and her heart is as calm as water.

Ni Nisha was pregnant at this time, just like many other women in the Kingdom of Daughters.

However, as the pregnancy period is still short, only a little over two months, there are no obvious signs of pregnancy yet.

When Ni Nisha learned that Zhi Nian had returned alone, she couldn't help but feel a strange emotion in her heart.

Especially after learning that Yue Qiaoer went to pick her up personally and that Zhi Nian was not pregnant.

The first thought in her mind was exactly the same as Aunt Feng's - they both believed that Zhi Nian was abandoned by someone.

Ni Nisha stood quietly by the door, her body slightly leaning against the door frame, her other hand gently stroking her still flat abdomen.

At this moment, a firm belief became increasingly clear in her heart.

Zhi Nian, ah Zhi Nian, the throne of queen will definitely belong to me this time!

-

Inside the hall, an old man in a blue-gray Taoist robe and with white hair sat there.

There was a faint smoke around him, giving people a sense of mystery.

After obtaining permission outside the door, Shui Yuci gently pushed the door open and stepped into the hall.

With a look of awe on her face, she greeted the old man, then knelt respectfully on the cushion at the back.

"master."

A soft call broke the quiet atmosphere.

“Are you back?”

The old man's voice is low and rich, like the sound of an ancient bell, penetrating the dust of years and conveying a sense of calmness and perseverance.

"Yes, Master. I came back to say goodbye to you."

The person who was speaking was named Shui Yuci, and her eyes revealed a hint of attachment and reluctance.

The old man was silent for a moment, then said softly: "I already know, everything is up to you."

His body remained motionless, sitting there as steadily as a sculpture, without even lifting his eyelids.

"Thank you for your careful teaching and training over the years, Shui Yuci will never forget it."

Shui Yuci's heart was filled with warmth and tears almost burst out.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then said gratefully that every blade of grass and every little thing here have been deeply imprinted in her heart.

However, the old man just waved his hand lightly, indicating that it was not necessary to worry about it.

He knew that Shui Yuci would eventually leave this forest; this was her destiny.

Shui Yuci nodded silently, turned around and prepared to leave.

Just as she was about to step out of the room, she couldn't help but look back at her beloved master.

The old man was still sitting there quietly, as if he was one with the whole world.

She bit her lip lightly, suppressed the grief in her heart, and slowly closed the door.

The moment the door closed, tears finally flowed uncontrollably, blurring my vision.

Shui Yuci walked down the stairs with heavy steps, and each step seemed so difficult. This Taoist temple surrounded by green mountains and clear waters witnessed every bit of her growth. Now, she was leaving it, and her heart was naturally filled with endless nostalgia.

Despite this, Shui Yuci still took a step forward resolutely and walked down the mountain. Her girl was still waiting for her.

Lin Yu, who was standing in the distance, quietly looked at his senior sister's back as she walked away, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Thinking of him, a tall and strong man, I couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment.

It was not until the figure gradually moved away and finally disappeared from his sight that he stopped and did not continue to follow.

Yes, he can no longer keep up. Senior sister, see you again if we have the chance!

At this moment, a figure appeared beside him quietly.

He was an elderly man, his eyes were deep and wise, as if he saw through everything in the world.

Lin Yu lowered his head silently, trying to hide the tears in the corners of his eyes, but all this could not escape the old man's eyes.

"Master... I, I still couldn't do it well..." Lin Yu's voice was slightly choked with sobs and self-blame.

The old man gently stroked the beard on his chin, his eyes swept over the big man with red and misty eyes in front of him, then he whispered something and turned and left.

“She’ll be back.”

Lin Yu was a little confused, but since the master said so, there must be a reason for it.

And will Senior Sister really come back?

With such faith and hope, Lin Yu began his long wait...

He himself didn't expect it, just because of this sentence.

He waited for more than eighty years, but that is a story for another time.
