When Nian Qiaoyue got up at night, she accidentally saw Nian Susu coming out of the meditation room. He was acting stealthily and it was obvious that he was about to do something shameful.

She was very excited. If she could take this opportunity to catch Nian Susu or discover her secret, would she be afraid that she could not kill her?

She was afraid of the dark and seldom dared to go out alone in the middle of the night unless she had to. But when she thought about being able to control and threaten Nian Susu, Nian Qiaoyue's heart couldn't stop beating wildly and she became much braver.

Keeping a distance that was neither too far nor too close, she followed Nian Susu into an unfamiliar place.

Ganlin Temple may not seem big, but the roads there are winding and it is easy to get lost. Without someone to lead you, you will not be able to find the exit to get back.

But Nian Susu walked like a fish in water, without any pause, as if he had already mastered the terrain.

Nian Qiaoyue couldn't help but wonder if Nian Susu had some shady relationship with the people in Ganlin Temple, so she was so familiar with the roads to Ganlin Temple.

If word gets out that Nian Susu is having an affair with the monks from Ganlin Temple, anyone in the capital will be able to drown her with a single spit, not to mention the Buddhist believers who will definitely demand that she be drowned in the river!

Thinking of this, Nian Qiaoyue was so excited that she couldn't control herself, and even her fear dissipated a lot.

Nian Susu followed the route he remembered and returned to the bamboo forest behind the mountain.

The utility room stood alone in the winter night. The bamboo leaves swayed, making a rustling sound.

Nian Susu walked around and found nothing wrong. Finally, his eyes fixed on the gloomy bamboo forest.

After taking a few steps forward, a gust of cold wind blew, and she immediately retreated, asking herself: Do I really have to go to this bamboo forest?

Adhering to the principle that since she was already here, she decided to take a look and make sure that there was no problem, so that she could feel at ease.

Nian Susu prepared himself mentally and mustered up the courage to enter the bamboo forest.

Before entering the bamboo forest, Nian Qiaoyue followed closely. After entering the bamboo forest, Nian Qiaoyue wavered and wanted to give up. But when she looked at the road she came from, it was pitch black...

She gritted her teeth and followed in.

In the bamboo forest, the moonlight was mottled and I could barely see the road under my feet. Fortunately, the bamboos were not planted too densely, so I could move freely among them.

Nian Susu walked around near the exit.

The little monk had gone out from this direction, she was definitely not mistaken. But there was nothing in this forest, why did the little monk look so panicked?

Nian Susu slowed down and looked around carefully.

Several times, she felt someone was following her, but when she turned around, there was only a dark mass.

She comforted herself: It must be a psychological effect. How could there be someone in the back mountain in the middle of the night?

Nian Susu continued to grope forward, and her hard work paid off, and she finally found some clues.

There is a pink handkerchief hidden under a few bamboo leaves.

After she picked it up, she looked at the details in the scattered moonlight. The material was excellent silk, with a few plum blossoms embroidered on it. Apart from that, there was nothing else. It was obvious that it belonged to a young lady.

The back mountain is remote and it is very easy to get lost once you enter. If Xiao Yunzheng hadn't taken them for a wandering, they wouldn't have gotten lost here today. Not to mention that other well-behaved girls would never come to the back mountain. Even if they got lost, they wouldn't rashly enter the bamboo forest.

It is very unusual for this handkerchief to appear here, but Nian Su Su couldn't tell what was unusual, so he could only put the handkerchief away for now.

I searched nearby but found nothing else.

Just as Nian Susu was about to go down the mountain, a scream suddenly came from behind him.

"Who?!" she was startled.

After the shock, she immediately realized the problem - besides her, there was someone else in the woods, and she was a woman.

But the voice was sharp and broken, and she couldn't recognize who it was.

When Nian Susu turned back to look for him, the person was gone.

She had no choice but to suppress her doubts and return to her meditation room.

On the way back, she analyzed the situation and suspected that the person just now was Wang Yuejiao or Nian Qiaoyue.

Because there were no pilgrims in Ganlin Temple at the moment, and there were only a few female guests staying in the Zen temple, there could only be the two of them.

As for the purpose, Nian Susu felt that the other party simply bumped into her when she went out and followed her secretly, rather than taking the initiative to enter the woods and meet her by chance.

After thinking this through, Nian Susu felt a lot more at ease. At least Nian Qiaoyue and Wang Yuejiao were within her control.

……

After Nian Qiaoyue ran back to her room, she was gasping for breath and her heart was pounding.

Thinking back to what happened just now, I still feel scared.

When she was in the woods, she was frightened by her own shadow and screamed subconsciously. She didn't know whether Nian Susu recognized her voice or not. She was afraid of being discovered, so she ran out of the bamboo forest in a panic.

After wandering around in the corridor for a few rounds, she accidentally found the exit. This was the happiest thing for her, otherwise she would have been caught by Nian Susu.

Nian Qiaoyue saw that Li Yaoyuan was still sleeping, so she tiptoed back to her bed.

She couldn't calm down for a long time.

Nian Susu went to the bamboo forest behind the mountain late at night, not to have a secret meeting with anyone, but more like he was looking for something.

Nian Qiaoyue tossed and turned, unable to figure out the reason. Finally, exhausted, she fell into a deep sleep.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Concubine Xin led everyone to the front hall to chant scriptures.

The host knelt at the front, Xin Jieyu brought Qin Wenyuan beside him, turned her head to ask him about Buddhism.

Qin Wenyuan looked at the Buddha statue with indifference, and it was obvious that he did not believe these things.

But because they moved in in the name of praying for blessings, they had to go through these procedures.

Several girls were kneeling in a row at the back, feeling drowsy.

"Lingling." Li Yaoyuan on the left pushed her and said, "Don't sleep, or the Buddha will blame you."

After all, Li Yaoyuan is a lady from a traditional feudal family. She believes in ghosts and gods and is very wary of them. Nian Susu discovered this since she entered Ganlin Temple.

She wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and opened her eyes with difficulty. "I'm not sleeping. I'm closing my eyes to rest. I'm meditating. I'm silently reciting scriptures..."

As she was talking, her eyelids began to droop and she staggered to the side, almost falling. Fortunately, Li Yaoyuan pulled her up and she avoided making a fool of herself.

On the left of Li Yaoyuan is Xiao Yunzheng, who is not much better than Nian Susu.

Li Yaoyuan pulled one on the left and one on the right and was unable to take care of them all.

"Yun Zheng, don't sleep..."

"Lingling, don't sleep..."

Wang Yuejiao rolled her eyes at Xiao Yunzheng and muttered in a low voice: "You refused to sleep last night and now you are sleeping here. You have no manners at all."

There was a dark spot under her eyes.

Hearing this, Nian Qiaoyue smiled. When she came over from the Zen temple, she heard Wang Yuejiao making sarcastic remarks to Xiao Yunzheng, saying that she didn't sleep so late at night and insisted on tinkering with the Luban lock with the light on, which prevented her from sleeping either.

Wang Yuejiao stayed up all night. The reason why she was not as sleepy as Xiao Yunzheng was because she woke up in anger when she thought of what happened last night.
