How to become a Taoist priest starting from a brothel

Seeing her so sad, everyone was at a loss and turned to look at the young master.

The young master, seeing this, became curious and asked directly, "What's wrong with you?"

Before the other person could answer, she assumed that Wu Nan had been frightened in the wild and had only just come to his senses. He then started crying out of fear and quickly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, you're safe here."

Upon hearing this, Wu Nan vigorously wiped his face with his tattered sleeve a few times, then sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "Young master, do you know a young master Cui?"

The young man, addressed as "Young Master," blinked before smiling and saying, "I know quite a few young masters surnamed Cui, but I don't know which one you're referring to."

Without much thought, Wu Nan pulled out the tattered cloth bag from her bosom, poured out the seal and a few copper coins, and after taking the coins back, she handed over the seal.

When the boy saw the seal, a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes. After taking the seal, he carefully checked it several times before saying to Wu Nan, "I think you met my brother."

"Brother?" Wu Nan was stunned for a moment before saying in a daze, "Then you are Young Master Cui the Fourth?"

"Cui Si?" The young man paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "That's not entirely wrong. You can call me Fourth Young Master, but my surname isn't Cui. My surname is Liu, and everyone calls me Fourth Young Master Liu."

Wu Nan didn't know what he was laughing at, and just mumbled, "Liu... Fourth Young Master Liu."

"Alright, it's getting late. Everyone, find your own place and get some rest. We still have a long journey ahead tomorrow." The boy called Liu Si glanced at everyone and gave them a smile as he gave them his instructions.

The other boys and girls readily agreed and obediently went to find places to rest.

Wu Nan looked somewhat at a loss.

Yinliang grabbed her hand and quickly followed Yinyu to the spot that another girl had already prepared.

"Let me introduce you, her name is Liu Sannu." After giving a brief introduction, Yin Liang pulled the bewildered Wu Nan down to lie down. "Go to sleep, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Their side is still cozy.

Liu Si, however, seemed rather serious.

The boy, called Liu Si, looked at the female guard beside him and frowned slightly: "Mei Wu, do you think my sister also passed through here?"

Mei Wu sighed softly, covered him with a blanket, and then said, "It should be right, young master, you can rest assured, the young lady is fine."

Princess Liu Si, also known as Princess Duan'an, let out a deep breath and said with relief, "That's great, finally some good news."

“Yes…” Mei Wu hugged her and whispered, “Go to sleep. We’ll get to the next city as soon as possible and contact Shengyuan Trading Company.”

Duan An thought for a moment and gently shook his head: "No need, just proceed according to our original plan and gather talents as soon as possible to send them to Yancheng."

Mei nodded indifferently: "Okay."

Liu Yin never expected that the girl she had unintentionally helped would actually have the courage to resist, and even meet Duan An.

She stayed in Daicheng for quite some time before finally sending her manuscript back to Shengyuan Trading Company.

She only prepared to leave after everything was arranged.

Before leaving, she noticed that Daicheng was checking people coming and going more strictly, and even the wanted poster for her on the wall had been replaced.

Looking at the portrait on the wanted poster that resembled her even more, she frowned, somewhat puzzled.

As he passed the city guards, he feigned curiosity and asked, "Sir, who is this wanted girl behind you?"

Seeing her elegant attire and extraordinary bearing, the city guard hesitated and asked, "You don't know?"

Liu Yin thought to herself, "This is bad."

He then smiled and explained, "I've been traveling with a friend for a long time and haven't been to a big city, so I really didn't know."

The city guard looked her over carefully before saying hesitantly, "This is the reclusive rebel, whose real name is Liu Yin. She was originally a courtesan from a brothel. If you have any clues to report, you might be able to ask for a reward."

Liu Yin politely replied, "Is that so? Of course, if I am fortunate enough to meet you, I will certainly report it."

The city guard nodded indifferently, then waved for him to leave.

Seeing this, Liu Yin naturally didn't say anything more. She gestured to Zhu Mei and then drove the carriage out.

It wasn't until long after they left Daicheng that Wen Shuyun looked at her and said, "You suspect that someone familiar with you has been arrested?"

"Hmm. You guessed it?" Liu Yin nodded at him.

Wen Shuyun was also somewhat worried: "Yes, that portrait is too lifelike."

"Yes, so it must be someone who knows me well." Liu Yin sighed softly.

"Could it be her, the maid who betrayed you?" Wen Shuyun asked.

Liu Yin shook her head: "It shouldn't be. I know Lan Yan. She doesn't have the ability to paint such a picture. In fact, she didn't serve me for very long, so she wouldn't have noticed my birthmark. But that wanted poster is too convincing."

"So...you suspect Madam Liu and the others?" Wen Shuyun asked hesitantly.

“Wen Niang said that Mother is already in Yancheng, so it must not be them,” Liu Yin shook her head.

Wen Shuyun was truly bewildered at this moment and couldn't think of anyone else for a while.

Liu Yin sighed softly and said, "Besides my mother and a few close maids, the only people I've spent a lot of time with and who know about my birthmark are my master and several Xu Yuelings from Qingyin Hall..."

"You suspect Lady Yueling?" Wen Shuyun asked hesitantly.

Liu Yin sighed deeply: "I don't suspect Yue Ling of betrayal, but I'm worried about what might happen to the sisters of Qingyin Hall..."

Wen Shuyun looked at her with concern and patted her shoulder: "No, for the next city, have someone from the merchant guild help send a message."

Liu Yin nodded: "That's the only way."

Seeing that she was in a slightly better mood, Wen Shuyun said, "If it doesn't work, you can change your appearance again. I think the appearance on that wanted poster is somewhat similar to your current appearance."

Liu Yin let out a soft breath before nodding in agreement.

Wen Niang received several manuscripts and, as instructed by Liu Yin, sent them to a city every seven days, according to the different times, in order to spread them everywhere in the shortest possible time and make it impossible for the court to find her.

Hearing Liu Yin's request, Wen Niang felt somewhat troubled, but she had no good way to send out the book without being discovered by the court and to send it out as quickly as possible, so she could only nod in agreement.

The books, which were reprinted overnight, were sent by Wen Niang to the designated cities by fast horses. The latest batch was sent to the farthest city that could be reached within seven days.

They then printed more books overnight and arranged for people to continue distributing them.

As instructed by Liu Yin, the manuscript was to be sent to as far away as possible in the shortest possible time.

Soon, batches of printed books were hidden under various goods and sent out of Daicheng to various places.

Of course, one batch will be sent to Yancheng.
