Su Mu had specially come here to roam the streets without restraint. Moreover, he had done it with such dignity and only had one goal, which was to prove to the crowd that the rumor of the plague in the capital was fake. If even the imperial concubine dared to appear on the streets, how could the plague be real?

Su Mu was helped off the palanquin by a servant. The person in front of Su Mu was the head of the Jade Dragon Temple. The abbot looked very young, around forty to fifty years old. However, he had a full beard and was completely pale …

Su Mu saw that there wasn't a single strand of hair growing on his head. His beard was extremely lush, making him look quite comical …

He heard that person say, ”Esteemed wangfei, this old servant wishes to welcome you late. Please do not be offended!”

He did not bow, but clasped his hands together to express his respect for Su Mu. Su Mu also knew the etiquette of Buddhism and quickly said, ”You don't have to be so polite, I hope you won't find it annoying to come here today.”

Behind the abbot stood another middle-aged man. The man also placed his hands together and lowered his head. Su Mu didn't pay much attention to that person …

The other person made Su Mu look at him for a few more years. He was very young, probably around 20 years old. He was also handsome and even that Lu Qi couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

It was as if that young man didn't dare to raise his head to look at Su Mu. However, when Su Mu walked up to him, he immediately knelt down and said, ”Greetings, esteemed wangfei is extremely fortunate.”

The monks all clasped their hands in salute. Su Mu had a deep impression of his actions!

Before Su Mu could react, Lu Qi, who was standing beside him, waved her hand at him and said, ”Master, you're welcome. Please get up quickly.”

Indeed, when they were outside, with Su Mu's status, there were some things that she wasn't too suitable for saying. Lu Qi was the best candidate to deal with such matters.

This was the first time Su Mu had come to the Jade Dragon Temple. Before this, she had heard that the Jade Dragon Temple was a royal temple. The decorations and the buddhist worship were all based on evidence and were extremely grand and magnificent.

When he saw them today, he realized that they really lived up to their reputation. The Buddha statues were all vivid and lifelike, and the monks he had seen earlier were all wearing brand-new clothes and had rosy faces.

It seemed that the imperial family really cared a lot about the Jade Dragon Temple. However, for some reason, Su Mu felt uneasy.

At this moment, the abbot walked in and personally lit two incense sticks for Su Mu. After Su Mu lit up the incense, he lowered his head and saw that the floor was covered in gold.

In order to display the majesty of the royal family, it was likely that all of the Buddha statues in the Jade Dragon Temple were made of gold. However, for some reason, they were extremely dazzling …

Su Mu didn't even know if he was dazzled by the golden light or if he was tired from his journey today. Or perhaps Su Mu was already in a bad mood and his body was not feeling well …
