Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Yu Linglong looked up. The visitor wore a blue-black pinched skirt with a round face full of smiles. It turned out to be s.h.i.+ Huiru, who she crossed paths with in Changting Hou’s Mansion.

s.h.i.+ Huiru confidently sat on the other side of the table, waved away the two maids who followed her, and smiled. She said to Yu Linglong: “I came in place of them to ask for you. I insisted on coming in. It does not matter with them!”

Yu Linglong was not worried: “What do you want to do with me?”

Everyone ran directly to her yard. When did her place become a vegetable market? Can anyone just come in?

s.h.i.+ Huiru looked at Yu Linglong grotesquely: “I can’t find you if there’s nothing going on? The last time I saw you, I haven’t been able to say a good word. I sent you so many invitations, and you will not come even once. If I don’t just break in, I’m afraid I won’t see you!”

Yu Linglong said lightly: “I’m not close to you.”

s.h.i.+ Huiru smiled and said, “Who said we’re not close? After seeing you a few times I’ll be close to you!”

She lowered her voice again, and said with a look of excitement: “Don’t you know? Last time you poured wine on Princess Xinlin’s face, everyone secretly admired you!”

Yu Linglong raised her eyebrows. They admired her?

s.h.i.+ Huiru covered her mouth and smiled: “Princess Xinlin relied on being the G.o.ddaughter of the empress. She always looked at people with slanted eyes and looked down upon them. Hmph, she even considers herself a relative of the emperor. Actually, she is not the same as us! Everyone is angry but doesn’t dare speak up. You cleaned her up that day and vented for a lot of people!”

It’s no wonder that the ladies sent Yu Linglong so many invitations that they flew in like snowflakes. It turned out it was because last time everyone liked her and was curious.

Yu Linglong didn’t show any joy. She picked up her chopsticks and started to eat again: “If there’s nothing else, you can go back. I still have breakfast…”

s.h.i.+ Huiru grabbed her chopsticks before she could eat the chili goose that she just picked up. “What’s so delicious about this? I’ll take you to a place that is unforgettable. Come with me!”

Yu Linglong was immediately stunned. Whether it was in her previous life or in this life, s.h.i.+ Huiru was the first person who dared to grab her chopsticks.

Before she recovered, s.h.i.+ Huiru grabbed her hand and pulled her out the door.

Yu Linglong was amazed for a while. This little girl was really forward, but she was so enthusiastic that she couldn’t get angry at her.

Without saying anything, s.h.i.+ Huiru pulled Yu Linglong and walked out. Yu Linglong only shouted to Ling’er in time and was dragged out of the door.

Ling’er quickly took the purse and followed Yu Linglong out.

It wasn’t until s.h.i.+ Huiru got into the carriage that Yu Linglong said, “You should tell me, where are you taking me?”

s.h.i.+ Huiru smiled and said, “You’re always stuck indoors, do you have any fun? I will take you to a good place.”

After she said this, she told the maid: “Tell the driver to hurry up, we’re going to Pudu Temple.”

Seeing Yu Linglong’s incomprehensible expression, s.h.i.+ Huiru said: “The vegetarian food there is excellent. I asked someone to make a reservation for us earlier. It’s just time to go.

Yu Linglong looked at the sky outside. It was so early in the morning, and they were getting vegetarian food?[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

s.h.i.+ Huiru smiled triumphantly: “Let’s burn incense and wors.h.i.+p Buddha first, and then eat vegetarian food. I have also invited a few ladies. If they know that I invited you, they must admire me!”

Yu Linglong was speechless. She didn’t expect that she would become such an influential person in the short time she had been in the ancient world.

After riding for a while, Yu Linglong understood why s.h.i.+ Huiru had come to invite her so early. In this era, the traffic was inconvenient. Their destination, Pudu Temple, was on a mountain in the outskirts of town. If you wanted to burn incense and make offerings, you had to try your best to leave early.

Along the way, s.h.i.+ Huiru talked endlessly about new things in each family, which together with the rugged mountain roads and b.u.mpy carriage, made Yu Linglong dizzy.

When she was beginning to feel drowsy, s.h.i.+ Huiru suddenly exclaimed: “Wake up, we’ll be there soon!”

Yu Linglong barely opened her eyes, raised the curtain, and looked out. At the end of the mountain road was a simple and majestic temple with limestone paved ground and white jade railings. From the outside to the inside were three tall buildings. The plaque, carved with various exotic animals, added a lot of vigorous grandeur to the entrance.

s.h.i.+ Huiru was helped by the maid to get off the carriage and said: “Let’s go up from here, burn the incense, and then go to the guest room.”

Yu Linglong also got out of the car with Ling’er. She hadn’t gone out for a long time. At first sight of the fresh scenery, Yu Linglong felt refreshed.

Pudu Temple was located in the mountains, in a cool and secluded area. The mountain breeze blew, with the unique fresh air between the mountains and forests, which was mixed with the fragrance of flowers. It was very refres.h.i.+ng.

Seeing Yu Linglong enjoying the scenery, s.h.i.+ Huiru smiled and said, “I knew you would like it. Let’s go in first.”

At this time, it was not a festival, and there were not many travelers on the mountain. Yu Linglong and s.h.i.+ Hui ascended the steps and went straight to the Guanyin Hall.

In front of the Buddha statue, a young monk tapped a wooden fish lightly, chanting scriptures in a low voice, which added a touch of solemnity to the hall. The faint sandalwood scent lingered in her nostrils, and her mood became much calmer without her knowing it.

s.h.i.+ Huiru pulled Yu Linglong and knelt on the cus.h.i.+on and looked up at the Buddha statue. She bowed her head religiously, then folded her hands together, bowing her head in prayer.

Yu Linglong knelt on the futon and suddenly felt a strange feeling. She had never believed in the cycle of life and death, but she had traveled to this era and regained a brand new life. Just like she once believed in love, fate was also playing a cruel joke on her.

What should she believe, what shouldn’t she believe? She has been a human for two lives now, but at this moment, she was at a loss.

Yu Linglong knelt down and sat on the cus.h.i.+on without bowing or praying for anything. Even if there were G.o.ds in this world, she was unwilling to entrust her destiny to the ethereal G.o.ds and Buddhas.

At this moment, she was wearing a blue spring s.h.i.+rt, kneeling silently. She was like a lotus flower, slowly blooming in the quiet hall.

In the quiet hall, any voice sounded so obvious. Before Yu Linglong got up, she felt that someone was behind her. She thought it was also a believer who was going to wors.h.i.+p Guanyin, but her feet suddenly tightened, and she was actually pinched.

Yu Linglong reacted swiftly, and immediately broke free of that hand, and stood up quickly.

s.h.i.+ Huiru, who was beside her, got up immediately and looked at the person behind her in surprise.

The head was of a young boy wearing an ocher gown, of medium build, with a powdered face. His hooded eyes looked at Yu Linglong unscrupulously, and he said with a scornful look: “A beautiful woman, but it’s a pity that the feet are not small enough.”

s.h.i.+ Huiru had brought only a personal maid, and when she saw him, she couldn’t help but stepped back timidly. She quietly stretched out her hand to pull Yu Linglong and whispered: “Don’t pay attention to him. Let’s go.”
