That day when Xuan Zhen brought Xiao Yue back to the inn, he was at a loss, but fortunately, within an hour, Xiao Yue woke up by himself.

"Eldest brother..." She looked around, blushed, and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"What's wrong with you?" Xuan Zhen frowned slightly, "I'm very worried."

"I can't say it." Xiao Yue blinked and smiled slightly, "You heard what the old lady said, knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing, isn't it?"

Xuan Zhen stared at her for a while, then gave up, "It's up to you... In short, if I can help, I must tell you, do you know?"

"Okay, I got it." Xiao Yue reached out and hugged Xuan Zhen's arm coquettishly, "Eldest brother, don't worry so much... Well, I'm hungry, is there anything delicious?"

Xuan Zhen rubbed the top of her hair noncommittally, "You wait, I'll order some." After speaking, he got up and walked out.

Xiao Yue turned over on the bed, watched Xuan Zhen's clothes disappear outside the door, and let out a long breath.

She was very fortunate that Xuan Zhen was a considerate person, he would not ask her what she didn't want to say, but...

Xiao Yue buried her face in the quilt, Xuan Zhen was so "sensible" that she couldn't bear to hide it, okay?

Xuan Zhen didn't know Xiao Yue's entangled heart at all, he was talking with Xiaoer and asked for something to eat.

It's not time for dinner, and the chef is not around. Xiao Er looks at the stove helping to heat up a plate of steamed buns, while chatting with Xuan Zhen, "Did you two go to the Yuelao Temple?"

"Yeah." Xuan Zhen nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Do you know who that old lady is?"

"That old woman in the backyard?" Xiaoer hesitated, and said, "Young people say that she grew up in the Yuelao Temple, and the story is passed down by word of mouth... But some old people keep saying that she lives in the backyard. There has always been only an old woman and a little girl, but no one knows whether they are gods or demons... So although foreigners come here to seek marriage, most locals stay away from it." He looked at Xuan With a trembling expression, he asked cautiously, "Did that girl let that mother-in-law..."

"No." Xuan Zhen quickly shook his head, "The old woman is not a demon, you can rest assured."

"Hey, that's so weird. Any Feng Shui master who came to the Yuelao Temple said it was a good place for spiritual energy to gather." Xiaoer opened the cage to look, then closed it again, "Having invited so many people, Can't they all be liars? Why did that girl pass out instead?"

Xuan Zhen raised his eyebrows and explained, "Junior Sister Suyue's fate is very rare, maybe it's because of the conflicting fate."

However, looking at the bewildered face of the little second brother who tried to pretend to be suddenly enlightened, Xuan Zhen smiled wryly in his heart.Is this really the reason?Clash of fate?If it really contradicts, how could that old lady tell her so much?

Compared to this...he is more willing to believe that his family's junior sister has some connection with Yuelao Temple.

But the old lady didn't shy away from herself at all.She could tell where Xiao Yue was standing, and it was impossible not to hear that there were two people coming in... But she didn't invite herself out.

Xuan Zhen was distracted while taking the plate from the second hand, thanked him, and turned to go upstairs.

Xiao Yue, who was waiting in the room, heard the door knock, poked her head out from under the quilt, and saw two white and fat steamed buns on the plate dragged by Xuan Zhen's hand at a glance.

But Xuan Zhen conveniently put the steamed buns on the coffee table and started to be in a daze.

Seeing that the steamed buns were not in front of her eyes, Xiao Yue noticed Xuan Zhen's expression.She thought about it, lifted the quilt and climbed out of bed, sat at the table, and reached out to grab a steamed bun to eat.

Xuan Zhen instinctively grabbed Xiao Yue's wrist, and said, "Wash your hands."

Xiao Yue raised her eyes sadly, senior brother, can you not be so sharp...

But Xuan Zhen's expression was very firm, so Xiao Yue had no choice but to wash his hands silently.

There was only the sound of rushing water in the room, and Xiao Yue felt a little bored, so she had to take the initiative to ask, "Brother, you seem to be worried, what's the matter?" She threw herself back to the table and began to eat steamed buns as she asked.

"Hmm..." Xuan Zhen glanced at her hesitantly, "You should eat first. It's not lunch time, there's nothing to eat, just some steamed buns left."

Xiao Yue choked, "It's good to have something to eat..." Obviously she was using this to change the subject, but you are too serious, senior brother!

But even though this is used to divert the topic... But student Xiao Yue, your food is a little too delicious.Xuan Zhen can't bear to interrupt your meal, even though it's just two big white steamed buns.

Although Xiao Yue is a foodie, she is a young girl after all, her appetite is not that big, she burped after eating a steamed bun, took a sip of water from the teacup on the table, patted her stomach, "I'm full gone."

Xuan Zhen laughed, and rubbed the top of Xiao Yue's hair, "Yes."

"Brother, what are you going to say?" Xiao Yue shook her head slightly, trying to make sure her hairstyle was not messed up.

Xuan Zhen hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I...have something to do with Yuelao Temple?"

Xiao Yue opened her mouth wide and looked up at him.

"Well... don't worry if you don't want to say it." Xuan Zhen sighed.

"No..." Xiao Yue shook her head, "Brother, you are too scary..."

Xuan Zhen stunned her for a moment, "What?"

"No, no... I mean, as far as I know, you have nothing to do with Yuelao Temple, it has something to do..." It was me.

Although Xiao Yue didn't say it, Xuan Zhen also understood what she meant, and nodded slightly, "So you heard that this Yuelao Temple is very effective, so you must go and see it?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yue nodded slightly, then shook her head again, "I'm sorry for being self-willed... I came down the mountain, obviously because Master wanted something..."

"It's nothing." Xuan Zhen patted her on the shoulder, "What's wrong with wanting to know about my past? You didn't delay the things Master Ruogu entrusted to you."

"I..." Xiao Yue sighed and lay down on the table dejectedly.

Xuan Zhen laughed, "Uncle Ruogu didn't just ask you to come down the mountain to do things, but also wanted you to come out to play, right? Uncle Ruogu loves you very much."

"I know Master loves me..." Xiao Yue said sullenly, "That's why I want to help her."

"You... oh." Xuan Zhen was very helpless.This girl can really cause trouble when she causes trouble, but if she is not sensible, it is not the case at all.

"I just know that I have something to do with Yuelao Temple, but I don't know what's going on." Xiao Yue thought for a while, and simply changed his story and said to Xuan Zhen, "So I just want to Look it up. That bronze statue...I remembered something but...um...and passed out."

Xuan Zhen sighed softly, and rubbed the top of her hair again, "You are too impatient. There is always time to take your time."

Xiao Yue nodded, stood up silently, ran to the bed, and got back under the quilt.

Seeing this, Xuan Zhen shook his head and chuckled, "You have a good rest, I'll go back first too."

"Hmm..." Xiao Yue responded, and suddenly seemed to remember something, calling out, "Brother, wait a moment, have you noticed... what is on the shrine in the old woman's house?"

Xuan Zhen was taken aback by the question, "The shrine..." He frowned, "It's not a portrait, it's a very long scroll...but what is the painting..."

Xiao Yue sat up cross-legged, pressing her forehead, "I always feel like I've overlooked something..."

"Would you like to visit your mother-in-law again?" Knowing that Xiao Yue was investigating her own background, Xuan Zhen became even more concerned.

Xiao Yue shook her head, "Grandma means that she can't reveal the secret. But forget it...you're right, there will always be clues."

Xuan Zhen responded, and went back to the house thinking about it.

Xiao Yue was still open-minded. Although she had something on her mind, she fell asleep quickly.

Nothing to say all night, the next morning Xuan Zhen accompanied Xiao Yue to have breakfast, but heard the surprising news - last night, the old lady in Yuelao Temple passed away, and the little girl who had been with her was gone, but the old lady did It's the end of life.

The onlookers talked a lot, some said that the old woman must have some treasures that the little girl took away;

Of course, the even more unconscionable thought is that if the old lady passed away and the little girl is gone, will this Yuelao Temple not work...

But to Xuan Zhen and Xiao Yue, neither the facts themselves are as important.

The two looked at each other, and Xiao Yue said, "Let's go again later."

Xuan Zhen nodded, "Naturally."

Xiao Yue was in no mood to sluggishly eat breakfast, and after wolfing down her food, she went straight to Yuelao Temple with Xuan Zhen.

The front yard is still full of unknown strangers visiting the three bronze statues in the main hall—although Xiao Yue found out that one of them might be herself and felt a little delicate when she looked at these people—but the backyard was completely deserted.

In such an early morning, the mourning hall for an old woman with no relatives and no reason is obviously not made by others, but the little girl.

"That little girl left after finishing the mourning hall..." Xiao Yue frowned slightly, and walked straight to the tile-roofed house where she met the old woman the day before.

Pushing open the door, the beds were neatly made, and it was not obvious that anyone had lived here for a long time.

And the scroll in the shrine is gone, and there are still black marks on the white wall behind it from the incense burnt.

Xiao Yue looked back at Xuan Zhen, who also frowned.He asked, "Junior Sister Suyue, do you want to investigate further?"

Xiao Yue looked around the room again, shook his head, and said, "Grandma is right, the way of heaven is merciless."

Xuan Zhen was a little dazed, but he thought that Xiao Yue probably knew something he didn't, so he didn't ask, but said, "Someone doesn't want you to see that scroll... Maybe it's a good thing not to see it."

"Yeah." Xiao Yue spread out her right hand, stared at it for a while, turned around and said, "Heaven is ruthless, so, sooner or later, I will know these things." She walked out of the room and closed the door , "Brother, let's go."

The author has something to say: I have an emoji on QQ, which has the visual sense of Xiao Yue's sister eating steamed buns...
