“You’ve seen her? Where is it?” Grandma Gu asked hurriedly.
Although she had no other thoughts now, Master Mountain River was Gu Shiyan’s savior after all. She was also the Gu family’s savior. No matter what, they should thank her properly.
“Right here!” Master Jiuhua said directly.
“Are you sure you saw Master Mountain River?” Grandma Gu asked suspiciously.
If she was in Luo City, why was she unwilling to come out and see them?
And so, she had looked for many people, but had not found any clues about Master Mountain River.
“I am sure it is her. At that time, City God Temple had some issues that required someone with profound knowledge of Taoism to come and resolve them. The people from Luo City Sect and the Bureau of Religious Affairs hurriedly came to Jiuhua Mountain to find me, but I felt powerless after arriving there. Later, it was the young master of the Lin family who brought her here.”
The old lady’s heart trembled. The Lin family in Luo City had only one son, Lin Bufan, and he was the only one who could contact Master Mountain River. It seemed that it really was her.
“At the beginning, Director Han thought she was just a little girl and didn’t believe she was Master Mountain River. Later, Chief Han from the Special Affairs Management Bureau came and confirmed her identity. The situation was extremely dangerous. Even we, who have been practicing for decades, were helpless, but she effortlessly resolved it. Seeing her, I realized what it means to be an extraordinary genius that comes once in a hundred years! Our level of cultivation is nothing in front of her!” Master Jiuhua sighed with emotion.
“Little girl?” Grandma Gu seized the key point sensitively.
“Yes, just a little girl! She looks like she should still be in school. When Mr Gu came up the mountain with you, he once asked me if it was possible for someone to become a celestial master in just over a decade. At that time, I told him it was absolutely impossible. But after seeing Master Mountain River, I realized how shallow my understanding was!” Master Jiuhua replied affirmatively.
This was also the reason why he had stayed there and hadn’t gone back. He had many questions about cultivation that he wanted to ask her. Although she rarely came there, as long as he stayed, there was always a chance to see her again.
Hearing this, Grandma Gu seemed lost in thought.
A little girl, still in school.
When Shiyan went up the mountain with her, he had asked Master Jiuhua if it was possible for someone to become a celestial master in their teens. Shiyan wasn’t the kind of person to casually ask such questions unless he had someone in mind whom he suspected.
All these pieces of information combined gave Grandma Gu a strange feeling.
After a brief contemplation, she asked, “Does the master know her name and what she looks like?”
Behind the door in the side courtyard, Lu Miao felt a tremendous headache. It was too obvious. If they continued talking like this, she might really expose herself in front of Grandma Gu.
Quickly taking out her phone, she sent a message to Lin Bufan, urging him to come and take Master Jiuhua to the rear hall quickly, using the excuse that Lingxu Taoist was not feeling well.
She couldn’t let them continue talking.
At this moment, the sun was directly overhead. Master Jiuhua and Grandma Gu walked towards the shade of the tree at the side courtyard door as they spoke. There was almost only one wall separating them from Lu Miao.
Master Jiuhua thought for a moment.”l don’t know her name, but Chief Han showed her great respect and they referred to her as ‘Master.’ The little girl is very beautiful, with fair skin and a tall, slender figure.”
At this point, he seemed to recall something and hesitated for a moment before speaking again, “I heard you mention last time that Mr Gu had already called off the engagement. Although his destiny indicates wealth and prosperity, it also indicates danger. It is destined that his life will never be as peaceful and stable as an ordinary person’s. From my brief encounter with Master Mountain River, I could see that she possesses outstanding qualities, both in appearance and character. If you have such thoughts, perhaps you can get in touch with her. Of course, such matters depend on both parties’ willingness and cannot be forced.’
He shouldn’t have spoken about such matters, but he knew that Mr Gu’s destiny was indeed fraught with danger. Although Grandma Gu had not explicitly expressed it, he could tell that she had such thoughts.
He fully understood her perspective. After all, as an elder, everyone hoped for their children’s safety and happiness.
Grandma Gu waved her hand in surprise.” I admit that I did have this idea in the past. I also tried to break off the engagement by force. But later, I realized that I was too selfish and narrow-minded.l didn’t like that child from the Lu family’s influence on Shiyan and the others. Seeing Shiyan and the others rebelled against me so quickly for her made me very unhappy, but I never considered whether Shiyan and the others were happy or not, whether they liked it or not, and I never considered her feelings. But even though I made things difficult for her time and time again, she still quietly saved me when I fainted by the roadside. I even suspected that if I hadn’t woken up early that day and seen her, she might never have let me know in this lifetime.”
Grandma Gu smiled and shook her head.” Guess what she said when I went to look for her later. She said that saving me was no different from saving a stranger on the roadside and didn’t want to be involved with me at all. Her calmness and indifference made me realize how narrow-minded I was. Parents are not always right. I am old and should not interfere with the lives and choices of young people. Everyone has their own destiny. No matter who Shiyan chose, what he did, whether it was a blessing or a curse, as long as he was happy. Master Mountain River and she also have their own choices. What right do I have to interfere?”
Since she had this realization, she felt much more relaxed, and it was good for Shiyan and the others. It was good for everyone.
Master Jiuhua nodded in agreement.”lt’s best if you can think this way. As long as we get through this calamity, although I can’t guarantee that he will have a smooth and peaceful life forever, I will do my best to ensure his safety.”
“Then I’ll thank you first, Master.” Grandma Gu solemnly bowed to her and said.
“You’re welcome.” Master Jiuhua returned the courtesy.
Cause and effect were intertwined. Grandma Gu’s support for Jiuhua Mountain had never stopped over the years, so helping her was only natural.
“By the way, Secretary Han of the Luo City Sect Administration gave this City God Temple to Master Mountain River. If you want to find her in the future, you can come here more often. You might meet her one day.”Master Jiuhua said.
Grandma Gu nodded. She turned around and saw that the side courtyard door behind them seemed to be open.
She couldn’t help but ask curiously,” Eh, I remember that this courtyard has always been closed to the public. Why did the door suddenly open?”
As she spoke, she stepped towards the courtyard door, and Lu Miao behind the door heard the footsteps getting closer and closer..
