Chapter 483 Old Friends of Years

On this steep mountain, the colors of the hills and trees were very vivid. Behind the strange looking stones, the girl’s clothes were fluttering in the breeze and appeared extremely beautiful. Even if her clothes were plain and light, she had an elegant posture like that of a fairy, which could not be portrayed even with gorgeous clothes. At first sight, one would think she was one of the immortals.

She looked pure and beautiful and absolutely unique, but it made people feel that it was the way she should be. And her beauty was beyond everyone’s imagination.

“Hey, where is she?”

“She was here just a moment ago. Where did she disappear to?”

“Is she really a fairy?”

“This is the Yuhui Nunnery! It is really possible!”

Chu Liuxin, who was standing not far from these ladies, looked at Shao Wanru from a different angle, in astonishment. He pointed at Shao Wanru excitedly and said to Xiao Liuzi, “It is the girl from Qin’s Mansion... the girl who climbed over the wall...”

“Prince, she is the Fifth Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion now!” Xiao Liuzi was also stunned, but he still knew how to reply.

He had met Fifth Miss Shao before. Although she was exquisite, she was not so stunningly beautiful. It had only been two years since he met her last time and he could not believe how beautiful she was now.

Xiao Liuzi felt that the famous First Miss Shao was no match for this Fifth Miss Shao!

There were really so many beauties in Duke Xing’s Mansion!

“Let us go and have a look!” Chu Liuxin pulled at his clothes in excitement and looked up at the terrain where Shao Wanru was.

He and Xiao Liuzi were at higher grounds than those Misses and due to this, he could see the situation on the opposite side more clearly than those ladies below. But if he walked there directly, it would be farther.

The mountain path was so rugged that he could only see her, but not meet her.

“Your Highness, if we go there now, Fifth Miss Shao would have already left!” Xiao Liuzi felt that it was not appropriate, so he looked around and tried to dissuade him.

If they went down this moment, the first people they would meet would be the Misses whom His Highness was asked to go on a blind date with. He did not like them, but he had to bypass them to look for another Miss. Xiao Liuzi was afraid that these Misses would complain to Concubine Ming Queen after they went back.

“I do not care. I saw my old friend. I should meet and greet her!” Chu Liuxin said with great enthusiasm. He turned around and rushed down the cliff where he was.

Xiao Liuzi reached out to grab him and said hurriedly. “Your Highness, Fifth Miss Shao saw you!”

Chu Liuxin turned back quickly and saw Shao Wanru on the steep cliff. She seemingly gave him a simple bow, a gesture which matched her plain clothes. Then Shao Wanru turned toward the back of the big stone and disappeared with Yujie, who was also similarly dressed in black.

There should be a mountain road. Was she going down the mountain?

“Let us go and have a look!” Chu Liuxin said firmly.

“Your Highness, have you thought about how to explain to the Misses below?” Xiao Liuzi said and pointed to several Misses from various mansions who were still talking about the matter, below the cliff.

Chu Liuxin stopped and scratched the ground helplessly. When he looked up again and saw that the figure had already disappeared, his head drooped.

“Let us make a detour. We may run into her again! Fifth Miss Shao and I have been old friends and we have not met each other for so many years now. Now that we have seen each other, I need to go and greet her!”

Chu Liuxin answered halfheartedly and walked down the mountain road in another direction. He would not encounter those Misses if he went down from here, but he was getting farther and farther away from where Shao Wanru appeared earlier.

Xiao Liuzi felt as if this Prince was a fake. When did the Prince and Fifth Miss Shao have such a close relationship? They had just met, but Fifth Miss Shao had been avoiding him. Then, the Prince complained that Fifth Miss Shao was not a good person, saying that he had to find a perfect opportunity to deal with Fifth Miss Shao.

Afterward, he had no chance to do so.

When did they become old friends who had not seen each other for so many years?

Where did this so-called old friend come from? Why was he not aware, seeing that he was his close little eunuch?

Touching his muddled head, Xiao Liuzi felt that it was better not to ask. An old friend? Fine. Anyway, this was something his Prince said. Fifth Miss Shao might have different thoughts about this!

He was just a eunuch, so he naturally could not care too much.

Chu Liuxin brought Xiao Liuzi around the cliff hurriedly and took the long way. When they arrived at the place where Shao Wanru appeared before, there was no one there. Then they looked down and found that the several Misses who had been there before were also gone. They were nowhere in sight. Looking down from a distance, they found that in the middle of the mountains, there were layers upon layers of Buddhist temples in the nunnery and there was also a high wall, which was in an isolated part of the nunnery.

There were so many Buddhist temples and houses, so it was really hard to tell which was Shao Wanru’s place of self-cultivation.

“Your Highness, what is that place? Why are they using such a high wall to separate it? Such a high wall should be similar to a palace wall, right? How could there be such a high wall in the Yuhui Nunnery? Aren’t they afraid of being investigated by the officials?”

Xiao Liuzi looked at the high wall in surprise.

Usually, high walls built by mansions had certain specifications. How could it be possible for a nunnery to build such a high wall?

“The previous emperor’s imperial concubines are all here!” Chu Liuxin said weakly. After he finished speaking, his eyes lit up and fell on the high wall with a bright gaze. Since it was the best place for quiet cultivation, Shao Wanru must have stayed there for three years. Maybe she was there or in a place somewhere next to the wall!

It had to be said that at this moment, Prince Xin discovered the truth!

“Come on, let us go down!” Chu Liuxin immediately became energetic again. He turned around and went down with Xiao Liuzi. The high wall was indeed very high. Even if they went down, they could still see it from a distance. Along the way, the destination was clear. Before long, Chu Liuxin took Xiao Liuzi and stood under the high wall.

But there was no door here. As they walked along the high wall, they finally saw a side door.

Xiao Liuzi went up to knock on the door, but no one answered it.

Chu Liuxin strode over and wanted to pull the door by himself. Suddenly, he heard a voice behind him, “Excuse me, do you have any business here? No one is allowed to disturb the residents here. Please go back!”

The two turned around and saw two middle-aged nuns who were standing behind them and looking at them with unfriendly faces.

“This is Prince Xin. Our Prince Xin wants to see the people cultivating inside.” Xiao Liuzi reacted quickly and immediately realized that there should be guards here, so he quickly revealed Chu Liuxin’s identity.

Sure enough, the two nuns’ severe looks eased a little. One nun looked at Chu Liuxin from head to toe and then lowered her head. “Your Highness, please go back too. The cultivators here cannot be disturbed!”

Since the previous emperor’s imperial concubines were sent here to cultivate, it meant that the Emperor would never allow anyone to get close to them, not to mention letting them out.

“Are all the people here genuine cultivators?” Chu Liuxin was happy.

“Naturally, they are all cultivators who are pure minded and have nothing to do with the secular world. If there is nothing else, Prince Xin, please leave!” The nun raised her head and said firmly.

She did not give in to Chu Liuxin’s request merely because of his status.

“An outsider who does not belong to the world?” Chu Liuxin felt that something was wrong. Shao Wanru should not be an outsider even if she had been cultivating quietly. She was in mourning for her parents for three years. He asked anxiously, ” Will the person who will leave after cultivating for many years also stay in there?”

“Those who cultivate for a few years or months are not in there. The people inside have the intention to cultivate for a lifetime!” The nun explained.

Chu Liuxin breathed a sigh of relief, rolled his eyes and asked. “Is there anyone on your mountain who has been cultivating for a few years?”

“I do not know. Please ask the others. I am only in charge of the internal affairs here!” The nun was unmoved and said.

“Don’t you know anything even though you are here? A beautiful little nun... No, no, she is not a little nun. She has hair. A beautiful little nun with hair... Have you seen her?” Chu Liuxin gesticulated a few times and looked expectantly at the nun in front of him.

He had described her in such detail, so she should surely know now!

Misses from aristocratic families who lived in the mountains would basically wear the garments given by Yu Hui Nunnery. The description of this so-called little nun with hair was not very detailed, but she should also have a clear image. In addition, he specially added “a few years” to describe her. Chu Liuxin felt that there should be no one else except for Shao Wanru.

“There is one over there!” The nun thought for a moment before she stretched out her hand and pointed in another direction.

“Great, thank you, nun!” Chu Liuxin looked in that direction and saw a courtyard in the distance. He was so happy that he cupped his hands toward the nun to give thanks and was about to leave. Suddenly, he heard the door next to him suddenly open and a woman exclaiming from inside, “Two nuns, hurry up... Come and see, she is in trouble...”

As she spoke, the sound of weeping could be heard.

Chu Liuxin subconsciously turned around and saw a nun in her twenties standing at the side door, with tears running down her face. He was surprised and moved aside, as he scrutinized the nun, who was standing inside the door.

Compared with the nuns outside, the nun inside the door looked much weaker. Even though her black hair had been shaved off, she still looked a little delicate.

“What is the matter?”

A nun came forward and asked.

“Our master... vomited blood, and... please ask a doctor to come... Otherwise, it will be really bad...” The nun inside said as she wiped her tears.

The two nuns outside looked at each other and one of them asked, “The medicine she took earlier has no effect?”

“It is useless. She is still sick, and... she vomited blood. Please, save our master!” The nun inside fell on her knees with a bump and kowtowed to the two nuns outside three times. Then she looked up at the nuns with tears in her eyes and pleaded.

“You go back first, we will report it to the master of the nunnery and someone will come and treat her later!” A nun outside said.

Then one of them stayed and the other hurriedly left to report the news. As for the nun inside, she closed the door again. She glanced at Chu Liuxin before she closed the door.

As for the two nuns outside, they completely disregarded Chu Liuxin, as if he was totally transparent...
