Time travel, quick transmigration

After about half an incense stick's time, the steward who went to find someone arrived at the Sanqing Hall together with Yunying, whom he had bumped into by chance.

"You are Taizhen's elder brother."

Yunying looked Yang Zhao (Yang Guozhong) up and down, her eyes filled with doubt.

Upon seeing Yunying, Yang Zhao knew that she was easier to talk to than Wenying, whom he had met last time, and he immediately made a decision.

“I am Taizhen’s elder brother. This nun may not know, but I am truly worried and anxious to hear that my younger sister has gone to your temple to cultivate. My elders, brothers and sisters at home are completely unaware that my sister has left home to cultivate. I suppose my sister Yuhuan did not want her family to worry, so she kept it from us.”

"But now that I know, how can I ignore my sister who has abandoned the mortal world and whose heart is filled with untold sorrow? I have come today not only to see my sister, but also to bring her some things that my elders, brothers and sisters have prepared for her. I beg you, nun, to do me this favor."

After Yang Zhao finished speaking, he bowed and looked at Yun Ying with a sincere expression.

Yunying remained silent, simply watching him. Yang Zhao guessed that she might have wavered, so he pressed on.

"To be honest, I came here yesterday, but I was received by another nun. Perhaps I was ignorant of the rules and offended her, which is why she made me leave rather unkindly. I couldn't put it off after I got home, so I came back again."

Seeing that his master was behaving very humbly in front of Yunying, the steward wanted to help and spoke up in agreement.

"Yes, yes, my husband is very worried about my sister. He has been unable to eat or sleep properly these past two days."

Seeing the situation between the master and servant, Yunying thought of Shi Yan's previous instructions and felt that she should not make decisions on her own.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you either. Taizhen has already left home and entered the Taoist sect, so she has no further connection with the mortal world."

"Please rest assured, benefactor. Everything is well taken care of for Taizhen's cultivation here, so you don't need to worry."

"It's raining heavily, so please go back. I'll take my leave now."

He bowed, turned around, picked up the umbrella from the eaves, and was about to leave.

Yang Zhao (Yang Guozhong) immediately became anxious upon seeing this. He was secretly annoyed that the female Taoist priests in Dongling Temple were all unyielding and heartless, but it was impossible for him to give up.

"Female Taoist priest, I am not one to cause trouble, nor will I make things difficult for you. I only ask that you pass on a message to me: I have been standing outside the door all day because I haven't seen her."

After saying this, he clasped his hands in a salute to Yunying, then strode down the stone steps and resolutely walked into the rain.

When the steward Yang Gui saw his master leave, he realized what was happening and immediately followed.

Yunying frowned slightly as she looked at the two of them. She took the umbrella, opened it, and slowly walked down the stone steps toward the gate. When she reached the gate, she glanced outside and saw that Yang Zhao (Yang Guozhong) was indeed standing outside without an umbrella, getting soaked by the rain. As she looked at him, she felt a pang of pity.

"Never mind, they are siblings after all. If something were to happen to them, Taizhen would be heartbroken."

Worried that the person might actually get sick from being soaked, Yunying dared not hesitate any longer and decided to go to Huanqing Residence to find Shiyan.

"She's gone?"

Yang Zhao asked Yang Gui, the butler who was standing with him in the rain.

Yang Gui stood on tiptoe and looked up at the empty gate, but Yunying was nowhere to be seen.

"Master, she's already gone. Since no one saw her, why don't you go back to the carriage? You'll get soaked."

Yang Zhao (Yang Guozhong) showed no appreciation whatsoever.

"Idiot, what do you know?"

Yang Gui was scolded again, and not daring to provoke him, he had no choice but to shut his mouth and remain silent.

"Go in and check the situation."

Yang Zhao wiped his eyelashes, which were wet with rain, and glanced at Yang Gui.

Yang Gui respectfully agreed and walked towards the Dongling Temple.

The atmosphere inside the Huanqingju Flower Pavilion was just right.

"Yan Yan, Yang Zhao is standing in the rain outside the temple. Your senior sister Yun Ying was moved by his self-inflicted injury and is coming this way to find you."

"Yes, we've arrived at the gate of Huanqing Residence."

0804 suddenly spoke, interrupting Shi Yan's tea-drinking.

Shi Yan turned her eyes to Xiao Die.

"Xiaodie, go out and see if anyone is looking for me. I think I heard someone calling me."

Xiaodie looked suspicious.

"I didn't hear anyone calling for anyone. I'll go out and take a look."

He then got up and walked towards the door.

Xiao Huanling put down his cup, feeling puzzled, because like Xiao Die, he hadn't heard anyone call Shi Yan's name. But he firmly believed Shi Yan had her reasons, so he didn't show his doubts.

Xiao Die walked out of the flower pavilion and glanced around, just as her eyes met those of Yun Ying, who was walking into the courtyard with an umbrella.

"Master Yunying, it's you."

Xiaodie braved the rain to greet them and cleverly led them into her house.

After the two entered the house, Xiaodie invited Yunying to sit down.

"You must have something to discuss with our wife."

Yunying smiled and gave Xiaodie an approving look.

“Go tell your wife that her brother came to see her, but I refused him. He’s waiting outside the temple now, saying he’ll keep waiting until your wife is willing to see him. The rain is getting heavier now, and I’m worried that he’s too stubborn and might get soaked.”

"So, after weighing the options, I came to find your wife. No matter what, they are family."

Upon hearing this, Xiaodie knew that she couldn't delay and had to inform Shiyan immediately.

"Thank you for coming all this way, Master Yunying. Please have a seat for a while, and I'll go tell my wife."

Having said that, he walked out.

As soon as Xiaodie entered the Flower Pavilion and walked up to Shi Yan, she was about to speak when she saw Xiao Huanling beside her and began to stammer.

Shi Yan understood.

"Just say it."

Xiaodie then carefully repeated what Yunying had said to Shiyan.

"Oh, so it's my good brother who wants to see me. How interesting. I've never seen him care about me so much before, willing to risk his life for me. Why is he so sincere now?"

"Why do you insist on seeing me, a nun who has left home to become a Taoist nun? If you can't see me once, you're just going to act like a scoundrel this time."

"He's just acting as a mouthpiece for someone else; he doesn't really care about me."

"not see."

Xiaodie understood the underlying motives, and her initial joy at having someone care about her wife vanished, making her quite indignant.

"Why bother seeing him? I've never seen him care about you so much before. What does it mean to stand outside in the rain? Who are you trying to impress? If you ignore him, people might think you're cold-hearted and heartless."

Seeing the mockery in Shi Yan's eyes, and considering her current situation, Xiao Huanling felt even more disgusted by Yang Zhao, who was standing outside in the rain, determined to see her. Yang Zhao's ulterior motives only fueled his hatred. He loathed that Yang Zhao, as a family member, was pressuring the person he cared about most under Li Longji's orders.

“If you don’t see him and he keeps refusing to leave, it might damage your reputation. How about I go out and knock him out, then have someone take him away?”

"I can disguise myself, and no one will know my identity..."

Shi Yan immediately rejected Xiao Huanling's proposal.

"No."

"You should not show yourself. There are four personal guards left by the emperor outside Dongling Temple. If you make a move, you will definitely get into trouble. Being targeted by them would be a disaster for you."

"Don't get into trouble because of me."

"You should personally accompany Senior Sister Yunying to convey my words to Yang Zhao."

“Tell him that since I entered the Taoist sect, I have been determined to devote myself to cultivation and no longer care about the mortal world. I will not leave this Dongling Temple for at least two years, nor will I change my mind.”

“I have followed His Majesty’s decree to become a monk and pray for the Empress Dowager and for the Tang Dynasty. I should be devout.”

"Tell him to go back, and I'll tell him I told him to take care of himself."

"Go."

Xiao Die responded loudly, then turned and left the flower pavilion to meet Yun Ying.
