The more he does this, the more obvious it seems.

Nian Susu's expression changed from gentle to gloomy and serious, staring at him with sharp eyes. Miaojue was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and took a few steps back unconsciously.

She pressed forward.

"Female donor, please respect yourself." Miaojue took two steps back, clasped his hands together, lowered his brows and closed his eyes, not daring to look at her.

His heart was beating fast and his face was red. Although monks should be pure and free from all emotions, and he grew up in Ganlin Temple, under the protection of the Buddha and influenced by the scriptures, it was hard for him not to feel anything when facing a beauty like Nian Susu.

This feeling only stops at the level of confusion, and has not yet reached the level of being moved or emotionally touched.

Miaojue is very firm in his belief.

"Sorry." Nian Susu stepped back to create some distance between them.

She didn't want to offend a monk, but that didn't mean she would give up on exploring the truth.

She was about to continue asking when Miaojue ran away.

Nian Susu had no choice but to return to the Zen temple. Even with Qin Wenyuan as an excuse, he couldn't stay too long, otherwise he would be exposed.

……

The next few days were peaceful and nothing special happened.

Except for chanting scriptures in the front hall in the morning and having three meals in Suxin Hall, the rest of the day is free time.

If you live like this for a long time, your body and mind will be happy, especially chanting scriptures, which is very helpful in calming your mind and cultivating your body and mind.

That day, Nian Susu came out of Suxin Hall, intending to take a stroll to digest his food, but he saw Li Yaoyuan walking towards the side hall with a serious expression.

She called out, but Li Yaoyuan didn't stop or look at her, as if she didn't hear her.

Seeing her distraught look, Nian Susu had a feeling that she was worried about something.

Nian Susu ran forward and said, "Zhizhi, where are you going?"

Li Yaoyuan was startled and her lips turned white when she turned around. She came to her senses and looked at Nian Susu with pitiful eyes that made people feel distressed.

"I'm going to the side hall."

Nian Su Su was puzzled: "What are you going to the side hall for?"

The side hall is a place where scriptures are stored. It is a short distance away from the front hall and in the opposite direction of the Zen room. Normally, except for the disciples and abbot of Ganlin Temple, they rarely go there.

Li Yaoyuan shrugged, "After reciting the sutras this morning, the abbot asked me to go to the side hall after dinner to help him copy the sutras."

Nian Susu's already frowned brows became even tighter after hearing her words.

Copying scriptures is clearly the job of monks, so it is definitely not the turn of Li Yaoyuan, a pilgrim, to do it.

Besides, they came here with Xin Jieyu, so how could the host risk offending people and let Li Yaoyuan do the work?

"I won't say any more. I have to go." Li Yaoyuan looked worried.

Nian Susu felt that Li Yaoyuan was not the kind of person who didn't want to help, but her expression did look reluctant.

She was a little worried.

"I'll go with you." Without saying a word, Nian Susu took Li Yaoyuan's arm and walked forward.

Li Yaoyuan didn't move at all.

She pulled Nian Susu back and forced a wry smile, "No need, go back now."

"Don't you hate practicing calligraphy the most? I'm afraid you'll fall asleep in front of the Buddha while copying the scriptures, which is extremely disrespectful." There was a bit more sincerity in Li Yaoyuan's smile.

Nian Susu thought about it and felt that it made sense, but she always felt uneasy in her heart, and after hesitating for a moment she still couldn't make a decision.

Seeing that it was getting late and the time agreed with the host had come, Li Yaoyuan could only pat her hand and comfort her: "It's just copying scriptures, not hard labor, what do you have to worry about."

Nian Susu curled his lips, "Okay then."

She suddenly smiled cleverly and lowered her voice and said, "If you really can't hold on, just say that your wrist is injured and you can't hold the pen for a long time. The host won't make things difficult for you."

"I know." Li Yaoyuan nodded.

She knew that Li Yaoyuan agreed so readily because she wanted to reassure her, because Li Yaoyuan would not lie, and would never lie to a monk.

In Li Yaoyuan's view, monks are all holy. They do not tell lies, their six senses are pure, and they only have Buddha in their hearts. The "poems" they recite are Buddhist scriptures, and the words they say are great principles to persuade people. She likes to deal with such clean people.

But Nian Susu thinks that this is a professional filter and is not advisable.

Li Yaoyuan left, her slender figure disappearing around the corner.

Nian Susu stared at it in a daze, then returned to the meditation room.

In the yard, she saw an unexpected person - Qin Junyu.

Qin Junyu stood on the porch in front of her door, wearing a white robe, his figure as tall as a cedar.

Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned around with a smile on his face.

"came back?"

Nian Susu was stunned, "Your Highness, why...why are you here?"

He walked forward, stopped three steps in front of her, and chuckled, "Guess." The ending tone was raised, which sounded quite teasing.

Nian Susu guessed it without much thought, and she answered confidently: "Come and see the fifth prince."

Qin Junyu admitted it and nodded, but his expression was full of meaning.

This was obviously the fact, and she also thought so in her heart, but when she heard his answer, she felt a little disappointed and even annoyed.

The anger came out of nowhere and her tone changed, "Then Your Highness should go next door. The Fifth Prince's residence is not here." She pointed the way carefully.

After saying this, he was about to go back to his room, but Qin Junyu blocked his way.

His eyes were as gentle as water, making people unable to help but sink into them. He said, "I'm not only here to see Xiaowu, but also to see you."

Nian Susu's face was so hot that he opened his mouth several times, but didn't know what to say.

He murmured in dissatisfaction: "Didn't you say you were here to see the Fifth Prince..."

It sounds like a complaint, but it's not hard to hear a bit of joy mixed in it.

Seeing her shy, Qin Junyu was very happy and asked, "Miss Nian, how about you accompany me for a walk?"

She said "hmm", and Qin Junyu walked out of the yard first. She followed behind him. Originally they were walking one in front and one behind, but somehow they ended up walking side by side.

"Are you used to living in Ganlin Temple? It's not like Shengjing, where you can enjoy fine clothes and delicious food." Speaking of this, he teased, "Miss Nian, you won't want to go back on the fifth day, will you?"

Nian Susu snorted twice, "Your Highness, don't look down on me. Although the material environment here is not as good as Shengjing, the natural environment is really good. I still like it here."

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and bamboo forests. When you get up in the morning and look down from the top observation deck, it feels like you are living in a palace in the sky. You are in the clouds, the air is fresh, and one breath of it makes you feel relaxed.

It is true that Nian Susu likes living here. After all, in Shengjing, as soon as she steps out of the door, she is surrounded by the world around her. She is like a frog in a well and feels very depressed.

Qin Junyu didn't comment, "You do know how to enjoy life."

"It's a must." Nian Susu said proudly.

She may not be good at other things, but she is very good at "enjoying" things.

"Has anything unhappy happened when you lived with those girls?" Qin Junyu hinted.
