Su Xiaolu did not pay much attention to it. What she remembered was that the young man was very good-looking.
Su Xiaolu muttered and left with her things.
Su Xiaolu quickly forgot about it. After she disappeared into the crowd, the window opened again.
The cold young man sat in the wheelchair and quietly watched the people coming and going on the streets. His gaze was as dark as the night, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking.
Su Xiaolu walked around and came back. When she passed by the teahouse, she subconsciously looked up. She did not see anyone but a closed window.!!
Su Xiaolu thought to herself, So sensitive. He can look at others, but others can’t look at him. Seriously.
Coincidentally, Su Xiaolu saw Su Chong and the others. She ran over happily. “Eldest Brother, Second Brother.”
“Xiaolu, where did you go? You suddenly disappeared. You scared me.”
Su Chong looked at Su Xiaolu and was relieved to confirm that she was fine.
Su Xiaolu patted the needle bag at her waist and said, “Brother, I’m not a little girl who doesn’t know anything.”
Even if she didn’t have a sword, she still had silver needles.
Su Chong stroked Su Xiaolu’s hair. “I know, I know. It’s almost dark. We should go back.”
Su Xiaolu nodded. “What did you buy?”
Su Hua said, “Little Brother Heng bought a set of pens. Big Brother and I also bought a set of pens.”
Liu Zijin smiled and said, “I also bought a set of pens. Your Sister-in-law Huilan bought some small things too.”
Wang Huilan took out a butterfly clip and gave it to Su Xiaolu. “Xiaolu, this is for you.”
Su Xiaolu took it. “Thank you. It looks good.”
They went back together.
Su Xiaolu thought of the strange person. She looked back and saw that the window was open, but no one was there.
“Xiaolu, what are you looking at?”
Seeing Su Xiaolu turn around, they asked in confusion.
Su Xiaolu waved her hand and smiled. “Nothing.”
The few of them walked further and further away.
Su Xiaolu kept feeling a gaze on them.
When he could no longer see, the young man who was looking out of the window retracted his gaze. He lowered his eyes and said coldly, “Jin Si, go and investigate her.”
A cold voice came from behind him. “Yes.”
Then, there was the sound of Jin Si opening the door softly, leaving a person standing in a corner like a statue, expressionless.
“Jin Qi, prepare the letter. I’m going to Qinglian Monastery tomorrow. You may leave.”
Zhou Zhi turned the wheelchair with both hands and came to the table. His voice was cold and no emotions could be heard. He wiped his hands with a handkerchief and picked up the teapot to pour himself a cup of tea.
“Yes.”
Jin Qi accepted the order and left.
Zhou Zhi held the teacup and took a sip before putting it down. He turned his wheelchair and returned to the window. He only glanced at the crowd below before closing the window.

Su Xiaolu and the others returned to the inn.
After dinner, Su Xiaolu returned to her room.
After putting away the things she had bought, Su Xiaolu began to deal with the medicinal herbs she had bought. Precious medicinal herbs like ginseng were planted in the Space. She had even plucked the Ghost Orchid seeds. This village examination would take nine days in a row. Without a good body, it was really unbearable. Under all kinds of tense pressure, many people would fall ill midway through the examination.
Su Xiaolu prepared some emergency medicine. These were all necessary.
Therefore, during this period of time, Su Xiaolu prepared to focus on brewing medicine after returning from Qinglian Monastery.
Now that she had time, she would grind the herbs.
Wang Huilan came to look for Su Xiaolu. She asked her, “Xiaolu, can I help you with something?”
Su Xiaolu pointed at the herbs. “Grinding medicine.”
Wang Huilan only helped to deal with the herbs. During this period of time, Liu Zijin and the rest were not free.
Wang Huiling was unfamiliar with this place and had nothing to do. She felt more at ease following Su Xiaolu and talking to her.
Just after seven o’clock, Su Xiaolu packed her things and prepared to sleep.
Wang Huilan also returned to her room.
Su Xiaolu lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
July 22nd.
Su Xiaolu got up and went to look for Wang Huilan. Wang Huilan was already grinding medicine. She said to Su Xiaolu, “Are you hungry? They’ve already gone out. I didn’t wake you up because you were sleeping soundly. Are you hungry? How about I get the waiter to bring breakfast?”
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Okay, thank you, Sister Huilan.”
Wang Huilan smiled and quickly got the waiter to bring breakfast.
After Su Xiaolu was full, she said, “Let’s go to the Qinglian Monastery.”
Su Xiaolu, Wang Huilan, and the Wang family’s coachman drove the carriage.
Su Xiaolu was sleepy as she leaned against the cushion. The carriage was a little bumpy on the official road. Like a child who liked the cradle, she also liked this bumpy ride and was very sleepy.
Wang Huilan let Su Xiaolu lean on her lap, so Su Xiaolu did not stand on ceremony.
She slept soundly.
When she woke up, she was already there.
Wang Huilan smiled gently and said in a gentle voice, “Xiaolu, we’re here. Do you want some water?”
Su Xiaolu shook her head. “No need. Let’s go down now.”
The two of them alighted from the carriage and entered Qinglian Monastery together.
Qinglian Monastery was very big and the incense offerings were in the front courtyard hall. A novice monk called out to the visitors who came to offer incense.
Su Xiaolu said to Wang Huilan, “If you want to pray to Buddha, stay here. I have something on. Wait for me here when you’re done. I heard that there’s vegetarian food inside. If you’re hungry, you can eat the food too.”
Su Xiaolu was going to see the abbot, so it was not convenient for her to bring Wang Huilan along.
Wang Huilan nodded. She did not ask anything and told Su Xiaolu to be careful before going to collect the incense.
Su Xiaolu found a little monk and took out her identity token. “Little monk, take me to your abbot.”
The novice monk looked at Su Xiaolu’s tablet and pressed his palms together. “Amitabha.” Then, he made an inviting gesture and said, “This way, please.”
The novice monk brought Su Xiaolu to the back of the Qinglian Monastery. The hall far away became silent.
Along the way, the little monk did not speak. Su Xiaolu only followed quietly.
Another novice monk led a person over. Su Xiaolu looked at the figure. What a coincidence. It was the person she had seen yesterday.
The two novice monks met and greeted each other.
Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi and smiled sweetly. She waved her hand and said, “Hello, we meet again.”
Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu and nodded lightly as a greeting.
When the two of them passed by, Su Xiaolu smelled a faint fragrance of ink orchid on him. He looked young, but he was quite tall. He was at least 1.8 meters tall.
He was very cold, so Su Xiaolu naturally could not ask anything.
Hence, she continued to follow the novice monk to the back.
After Su Xiaolu walked far away, Zhou Zhi stopped in his tracks. The novice monk looked at him in confusion. “Patron, what’s wrong?”
