Nobody spoke for a while.
A forest of peach blossoms below, the roof above. The man’s gorgeous and beautiful appearance was enhanced by the beautiful scenery. His eyes locked on Jiang Lî.
His smiling expression had a hint of evil. However, it was unclear whether he was a friend or a foe.
At this moment, Tong’er, who had been stunned by his appearance, could not help but suspiciously ask, “…… Flower demon?”
This person looked as beautiful as a demon and his presence was too striking, which made one to be dazzled.
Jiang Lî had not yet spoken when unexpectedly, there were noises coming from outside. Jiang Lî was startled, and she raised her eyes once more towards the roof. However, the beautiful young man was no longer there. What remained was just the slight swaying of the peach blossom branch, giving the impression of an endless spring dream.<sup><a style=”text-decoration: none;” id=”ref1″ href=”#fn1″>1</a></sup>
Tong’er was equally surprised, she rubbed her eyes and said: “This servant couldn’t be dreaming, right?”
Jiang Lî replied: “It wasn’t a dream, but right now…..” She heard the sound of people chattering getting closer and closer and the corner of her mouth raised. She no longer thought about her initial suspicion and said: “Let’s go to the main hall to kneel.”
These days, although Tong’er had too many surprises and doubts, she still didn’t ask too many questions. Without hesitation, she followed Jiang Lî to kneel in front of the clay Buddha statue, the plate of fruits for the offering was also returned to the table. The two people had just knelt when they heard a burst of lively and excited chatter coming through from outside, along with someone knocking on the door of the nunnery.
The knocking sound startled the Buddhist nuns inside the nunnery. A person opened the door and the lanterns were also lit one by one. The voices from outside got louder and louder. Jiang Lî and Tong’er stayed calm and kept kneeling.
Carrying a portable lantern, a mama led the crowd into the main hall. As she entered the hall, she didn’t expect to see two people kneeling inside. After all, it was already quite late. She turned around and said: “Madam, there are still two nuns here.”
