Chapter 409 Taoist monk in the Streets (1/2)

Given that Square Town was such a crowded place, they would definitely not act rashly.

Lin Mengya did not believe they would do anything to her.

For this reason, she went back to the inn and dragged Baishao into the streets and they did some shopping.

She was numbed to all the spying from the various forces and authorities. At least it would help pin down who they were.

“Mast… Young Master, I’m still worried about Baisu.”

Baishao was about to address Lin Mengya as her master when Lin Mengya gave her a look.

This girl who had yet to get married could not bring herself to verbalize the endearing term a wife used on her husband.

She finally resorted to calling her ‘young master’.

“Alright, I suppose our predestined relationship has not ended yet. We’ll meet again in the future one day. It must have been tough following me around. Pick anything you fancy from the street stalls and I’ll buy it for you as a gift.”

In fact, Baisu had chanced upon many opportunities to tamper with the emperor’s medicine but she did not.

Lin Mengya could forgive her for that.

Perhaps the time had not come.

Baishao appeared troubled and nothing caught her eye. Lin Mengya, on the other hand, picked up a heap of items excitedly within a short time.

She even paid someone to help her bring the goods she bought back to the inn.

“Events of your life, be it a blissful or woeful marriage, will be foretold accurately to save the world and the people in it.”

Suddenly, Lin Mengya spotted a shabbily dressed Taoist monk at an inconspicuous corner.

There was no fortune teller at the stall where the monk was at, but he sat there looking calm and confident.

He was either a very good fortune teller or an extremely experienced charlatan.

However, the Taoist monk had turned up his nose at the passersby but Lin Mengya only rested her gaze on him a little longer, and he smiled and even waved at her.

Lin Mengya pointed at herself and in response, the Taoist monk nodded unhurriedly.

This was strange. Why did this Taoist have his eyes on her alone where there were so many people going to and fro on the street.

Since nothing was of pressing urgency, Lin Mengya decided to go over to unveil the mystery.

“My greetings to you, Taoist monk.”

Lin Mengya cupped her hands together and bowed at him, but Baishao shot her master a puzzled look.

Not to mention that was just a muddle-headed Taoist monk in the countryside, her master barely bothered herself with reputable monks in the Capital City.

How was she so polite today?

“I see that you’re a person of eminence who had visited this place, but please forgive me for not being able to rise to my feet to welcome you.”

Although the Taoist monk was speaking with a polite tone, his posture of sticking one leg over the other while sitting was very rude. His courteous tone was completely out of sync with his posture.

“It’s alright. Given that you’re a monk, I understand you’re not tied down by the etiquette of commoners. I wonder what good advice you have for me since you’ve stopped me in my tracks.”

The stubbly-bearded Taoist monk chuckled.

In an unhurried manner, he said, “It wasn’t me who stopped you. You’ve stopped yourself. What do you think? I am known for my foresight. If you have any doubts, please let me know. I may be able to help you.”

Ultimately, he was trying to sell his service.

While Baishao was not interested in listening to the filthy Taoist monk, Lin Mengya, however, did not express an opinion.

She lifted her snow-white arm and jotted down the word ‘I’ on the calligraphy paper in front of the Taoist monk.

Lin Mengya did not know the traditional Chinese characters therefore, the simplified character she wrote had an index component missing.

“I would have to trouble you, respected Taoist Monk.”

When the old Taoist monk saw what she wrote, the expression on his face froze in that instant.

After pausing for a long time, he finally exhaled and he shook his head helplessly with a bitter smile on his face.

“This character… I’m afraid I can’t really tell much from this character you wrote. All I can say is that although you’re in this foreign country, you’ll meet someone who will form an unbreakable predestined relationship with you. This brought to my mind someone whom I met right at this spot twenty years ago.

The words of the old Taoist monk’s words confirmed Baishao’s suspicion that he was a swindler.

Immediately her eyes were filled with a look of dissatisfaction.

Why would he not stick to his deceitful words, but be talking about the story of someone who had passed away to deceive master? If they were in the Capital City she would have dragged this old Taoist monk to the magistrate.

It made her wonder why her master was in such a good mood today that she played along with this man.

“Oh? Who was this person in the past?”

In fact, Lin Mengya somehow shared Baishao’s sentiments towards the old Taoist monk.

However, for some reason, this old Taoist monk gave her the feeling that he was some out-of-the-world man of sanctity.

The old monk smiled, took out an item and placed it before Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya took one look and saw that it was a bronze coin with a picture of a plum flower on it.

“This was left behind by that person in the past. We can bid farewell now that I’ve delivered the item to you.”

Before Lin Mengya could react, the old Taoist monk with the demeanor of a transcendent being had gathered up his belongings and fled!

“Your belongings, Taoist monk!”

As Lin Mengya cried out with the bronze coin in her hand, the old Taoist monk even quickened his steps.

Soon, he disappeared from their sight completely.

Lin Mengya did not know what to do. What just happened?
