Chapter 783: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 783: The Master of Dongqing Temple
Wang Changdong was taken aback and instinctively nodded. "Are you looking for Miss Lu?"
The master of Dongqing Temple raised an eyebrow in surprise. Had that little girl already reverted back to her original surname?
She smiled and said, "Yes, where is she?"
"Today is New Year's Eve, and Miss Lu has gone back to the county town to prepare for the New Year. Is the Taoist acquainted with Miss Lu? If there is an urgent matter, please let me know, or I can go to the county town to help you find Miss Lu."
The master of Dongqing Temple unexpectedly glanced at Wang Changdong and thought to herself... She wanted him to pass on a message and help her find someone, but she didn't directly ask for Shu Yu's address to find her in person.
She was afraid that there might be a grudge between her and the little girl, and she would cause trouble if she went to find her.
It was truly unexpected. It had only been a short time, but the little girl had become so powerful that even the overseer of the village would go to great lengths to protect her.
Indeed, even if she wasn't present, the little girl didn't need her to worry about her.
In that case, she could be at ease as well.
The master of Dongqing Temple smiled kindly. "I am indeed an acquaintance of that little girl. I was passing by this place during my travels and wanted to see her. Since she is not in the village, there is no need to force a meeting. Since you know her, can you help me pass on something to her?"
"Of course." Wang Changdong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they weren't enemies, it was fine. The Taoist nun seemed mysterious and profound, probably a highly skilled individual. He didn't want any conflicts between her and Shu Yu.
The master of Dongqing Temple took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it over. "I trouble you to deliver this."
Wang Changdong accepted it. He didn't know what was inside, but it seemed important. He carefully put it away.
"Thank you, and farewell," said the master of Dongqing Temple.
"Eh? Are you leaving just like that? It's New Year's Eve, and it's freezing cold. Why not stay and celebrate the New Year before leaving?"
People nowadays were generally friendly and respectful towards Taoist priests and monks. As long as they didn't have any ill intentions, Wang Changdong naturally treated them warmly.
The master of Dongqing Temple expressed her gratitude. "No need, I still have matters to attend to. I won't stay for long."
She nodded and prepared to leave.
However, after taking a few steps, she stopped and asked Wang Changdong, "By the way, I want to ask you about something else."
"Please, go ahead," Wang Changdong replied.
"Has the prefect magistrate visited Zhengdao Village?"
Wang Changdong nodded. "He has." This wasn't a secret. All the villagers in Zhengdao Village knew about it.
The master of Dongqing Temple nodded. "Then, Shu Yu has also met the prefect magistrate, right?"
"Yes, she has."
Both questions received affirmative answers. The master of Dongqing Temple smiled satisfactorily. "Farewell."
This time, she really left.
Wang Changdong stood in place, dazed, until her figure gradually disappeared at the village entrance. He then touched his head and said in confusion, "Is she really not going to see Miss Lu? Then, isn't this trip in vain?"
He pinched the purse in his sleeve again. This item must be extremely important.
Wang Changdong turned around and returned to the courtyard. After informing the official who was staying behind in the village, he planned to leave early.
With his belongings packed, he carefully placed the purse and couldn't wait to hurry to the county town.
He knew the address of the Lu family in the county town. Holding the purse, Wang Changdong rushed to find Shu Yu before returning home.
Upon hearing the knocking, Shu Yu thought it was Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi who had come.
