ally said in a soft voice, "Mother, Fifth Uncle, I want to return to the capital."One word instantly rippled the water. An Xuetang stared at him in shock, "Zi Ling, what did you say Do you want to ret...An Xuetang frowned, she looked up at Mo Yunjing, "But Ajing, I really suspect that Master Huaiyuan is hiding something!! He must have something he doesn't want us to know, otherwise why would he be so evasive and shifty"

The five monks, upon hearing An Xue Tang speak of their alms-collecting master in this way, finally showed a slight change in their expressionless demeanor.

Upon hearing An Xue Tang's words, a hint of dissatisfaction appeared in their eyes. They stared at An Xue Tang, as if ready to attack her at any moment.

Yet An Xue Tang didn't care at all. She only wanted to know why her dear Ajing wouldn't let her fight these monks.

Before Mo Yun Jing could speak, Eleven blinked in disbelief, "Old man"

Shi looked at An Xue Tang with raised eyebrows and spoke slowly, "Madam, you wouldn't think that the Abbot Huayuan is an old man, would you"

An Xuetang blinked. "Could it be otherwise"

In her opinion, someone who could know Empress Mu Yunjing's mother and be addressed as Master by the temple monks shouldn't just be a gray-haired old man, right

At this moment, Eleven's expression was almost about to crack. She held back a smile with great effort, cleared her throat, and said:

"My lady, when you see Master Huayan yourself in the future, you'll understand. He... is worlds apart from the word 'old man'."

An Xuetang frowned, but she still shook her head at the moment. “Forget it, forget it. I don't want to know if this fellow Dharma Master is really an old man. Right now, I just want to meet him!”

Mo Yunjing pulled An Xue Tang back gently and soothed her in a low voice, "Since Master Huaiyuan is already in seclusion, there's no need to worry. We can just wait for him to come out."

An Xuetang was reluctant, "But..."

Mo Yunjing touched her head, "Tangtang, be good."

"..."

This portrait concerns the biological mother of Mo Yunjing. Even now, Mo Yunjing isn't in a hurry, so why is she

Thinking this way, An Xue Tang pursed her lips and compromised, so she was led away by him at this moment.

Eleven then said a few polite words to the five monks behind him before leaving.

Mo Yunjing directly pulled An Xuetang to the guest room where he usually stayed.

Here everything was tidy, and the two had just sat down when An Kang's little dumpling came over to knock on the door.

Seeing the little dumpling standing safely in front of them, An Xue Tang's face finally broke into a smile. "Little dumpling, you're alright"

"Greetings, madam. My expression still feels a little unnatural," "It's said that you, the noble lady, saved this poor monk. I came here especially to express my gratitude."

Thank you

An Xue Tang didn't know what she was thinking, she suddenly narrowed her eyes and squatted in front of An Kang, "Little dumpling, do you really want to thank me"

"Yes, one should repay even the smallest kindness with great gratitude. Let alone you, kind woman, have saved my life."

"Well, since you're so eager to thank me, I can't really refuse. So..."

As they spoke, An Xuetang leaned close to Xiaotuanzi's ear and whispered something softly in his ear.

Xiao Tuanzi listened and unconsciously widened his eyes, then shook his head, "Lady donor, this is not possible.

An Xuetang puckered her lips, "Is that even a problem Didn't you say you wanted to thank me You can't even fulfill this one request of mine. I think your gratitude isn't sincere at all."

...

Heaven and earth can bear witness, his desire to thank her is absolutely sincere, but her request is also...

An Xue Tang saw that he was still hesitating, she stood up and let out a sigh:

"Oh, some people say nice things, promising to repay their kindness and expressing genuine gratitude. But I think... it's all just talk."

As Kang Yue listened to her words, his expression became more and more tangled. Seeing An Xue Tang look so 'dispirited', he pursed his lips, lowered his head, and remained silent for a moment.

Then, as if he had made a great decision, he scurried over to An Xuetang's side and tugged at her sleeve, motioning for her to crouch down.

An Xue Tang narrowed her eyes, she crouched down in front of Xiao Tuanzi, and Xiao Tuanzi quickly whispered something in her ear.

I don't know what Xiaotuanzi said, but I saw a smile instantly appear on An Xuetang's face. She affectionately touched Xiaotuanzi's head and said, "I understand."

Little Tuanzi still had some embarrassment in his eyes, but the words were already spoken. There was no use for him to struggle now, so he turned and left at this moment.

Looking at Xiaotuanzi's departing back, Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes, "Tangtang, what riddles are you playing"

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, feigning mystery, "Let's cause some trouble tonight..."house"Mo Junyi gave the man a look of disdain, letting out a cold snort. "Coward."Although he was scared, he didn't intend to actually have his tigers eat the incomplete eunuch.Now that he'd let Tiger...
