Chapter 2835

The nun's words shocked both Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er.

Neither of them had expected that they had not even exposed themselves in front of Wu Feiyan, yet they were targeted by someone in front of a nunnery in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.

Thus, without waiting for Lin Wan'er to speak, Ye Chen asked the nun with a vigilant face: "Who are you? Pretending to be a nun and putting on an act washing clothes here just to wait for us to appear?!"

The nun put her hands together, bowed slightly toward Ye Chen, and said: "Benefactor, this poor nun is not pretending. This poor nun is a bhikshuni in the Qingzhao Nunnery, practicing Buddhism in the Qingzhao Nunnery. It is just that the abbess knew that the two of you would pass through here today, so she specifically asked this poor nun to wait here."

After saying this, she looked at Lin Wan'er again and said earnestly: "Benefactor, my abbess said that you have a deep affinity with Buddha and would like to invite you to the nunnery for a short chat. It will not delay you for too long."

Lin Wan'er pondered for a moment, nodded gently, and said: "Okay, then I will trouble the little master to lead the way."

Ye Chen always felt that this matter was a bit strange and not very secure, so he said: "Then I will go together."

The nun pointed to the mountain path behind her and said: "This benefactor, from here all the way to the mountain top is the scope of the Qingzhao Nunnery. The Qingzhao Nunnery is a place where novices and bhikshunis practice Buddhism and does not allow any males to enter. I hope the benefactor understands."

Ye Chen said coldly: "What a joke. If you don't let me in, how can I ensure the safety of my friend?"

The nun said respectfully: "Monks are compassionate and naturally will not do anything to harm others. Please rest assured, benefactor."

Just as Ye Chen was about to refuse, Lin Wan'er pulled his arm and whispered: "My dear, wait for me here for a while. I'll be back soon."

Ye Chen advised her: "Don't be so impulsive, be careful of a trap!"

Lin Wan'er smiled slightly and said softly: "It's okay, with you here, no one dares to do anything to me. Just rest assured and wait for me here."

At this time, Lin Wan'er did not know what kind of background the abbess waiting to meet her in the nunnery had.

However, her intuition told her that there would be no danger here.

She knew very well that in this world, the only people who wanted to catch her were Wu Feiyan and her Anti-Qing Society, and Wu Feiyan had no awareness of her coming to Southern Yunnan with Ye Chen this time. From this, it could be inferred that the person waiting to see her in the Qingzhao Nunnery was definitely not one of Wu Feiyan's people.

Since it was not one of Wu Feiyan's people, the probability of the other party having malicious intent was much smaller.

What's more, Ye Chen was waiting for her at the foot of the mountain. If the other party really knew the background of her and Ye Chen, they certainly could not take action against her under Ye Chen's nose.

And what interested her most was that she couldn't wait to figure out the other party's identity. Since the other party knew her, they must have a certain understanding of her situation. What was even more terrifying was that the other party could accurately calculate the whereabouts of her and Ye Chen. This point was even more remarkable.

After all, she and Ye Chen had only confirmed this route an hour or two ago. No matter what, the other party could not have known in advance. The only possibility was that the other party had calculated all of this and was waiting here like a rabbit waiting for a tree.

Thinking of this, Lin Wan'er became even more impatient to know what kind of background the person who was planning behind the scenes had.

Seeing that Lin Wan'er had made up her mind, Ye Chen guessed that she must also want to go up and get to the bottom of it.

If he forcibly followed her, perhaps the other party's abbess would give up appearing, and in that case, it would be impossible to investigate the real reason behind it.

Helplessly, Ye Chen had to nod and say to Lin Wan'er: "I'll watch you go up from here. I'll start timing from the moment you disappear from my sight. I'll wait for you for twenty minutes. If you don't come out in twenty minutes, I'll go up and find you!"

Seeing Ye Chen relent, Lin Wan'er nodded quickly and said: "Okay! Just twenty minutes!"

Seeing this, the little nun put her hands together and bowed to Ye Chen again, saying respectfully: "Please wait a moment, benefactor."

After saying this, she said to Lin Wan'er with a respectful face: "Please follow me, benefactor."

Lin Wan'er nodded, gave Ye Chen a reassuring smile, leaned into his ear, and whispered: "I'll trouble the Young Master to wait here for a moment. This servant will be back soon."

Ye Chen nodded slightly and watched her go up the mountain with the little nun.

Ye Chen watched the two walk further and further away, watched them walk step by step to the top of the mountain, watched the little nun respectfully open the gate of the nunnery for Lin Wan'er, and watched Lin Wan'er turn around and wave to him from afar before stepping inside.

At this time, Ye Chen's heart was also somewhat uneasy.

He felt that even if the other party was not a bad person, this kind of precise prediction the other party had about him and Lin Wan'er also made his back feel cold. Since he obtained the Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra, he had never had this kind of uneasy and anxious feeling.

And at this time, Lin Wan'er had already stepped into the gate of the Qingzhao Nunnery.

The Qingzhao Nunnery could not be considered a large temple. It did not cover a large area, and there were not many bhikshunis practicing there. Including the novices under twenty years old, there were only a dozen or so people in total.

Moreover, the incense of the Qingzhao Nunnery was not prosperous. Lin Wan'er had come all the way in and had not seen any pilgrims burning incense and worshipping Buddha here.

She followed the little nun through the front courtyard. When all the bhikshunis saw her, they bowed and saluted her, which made Lin Wan'er feel even more curious.

The little nun took her through the front courtyard and came to the main hall in the back.

The main hall was not magnificent, but one could see everywhere that it was maintained very carefully. Although the Buddha statues were old, they were bright in color and free of dust, which showed at a glance that they were often repaired and cleaned.

In the main hall, an elderly nun with white hair was standing in front of the Buddha, carefully adding lamp oil to the few eternal lamps in front of the Buddha statue.

The old nun looked to be seventy or eighty years old. She was already old, but her body was very strong. She held an oil pot weighing several jin, and the lamp oil poured out without the slightest tremor, which showed that her hands were exceptionally steady.

The little nun brought Lin Wan'er in and said respectfully: "Master, the disciple has invited that benefactor here."

The old nun turned around, looked at Lin Wan'er, put her hands together, and said very respectfully: "This poor nun has rashly disturbed the benefactor. I hope the benefactor will not take offense."

Lin Wan'er also put her hands together to return the salute and said loudly: "Master, you don't have to be so polite. It's just that this young woman is hiking in the mountains with her boyfriend, and he is still waiting at the foot of the mountain, so I ask the Master to get straight to the point."

The old nun waved her hand at the little nun, and the little nun immediately turned around to leave, and at the same time, she closed the gate of the main hall.

After she went out, the old nun suddenly sighed and said: "There are dangers on the road ahead, and the road ahead is full of obstacles... This poor nun is here to boldly implore Miss Lin to persuade Mr. Ye well, and not to let him go any further!"

Suddenly being named by the other party, Lin Wan'er was shocked, but she looked at the other party calmly and said lightly: "Master, Mr. Ye has an obsession with the road ahead. I am just a weak young woman with no power to truss a chicken, so how can I persuade him?"

As she spoke, Lin Wan'er looked at the old nun, changed the subject, and said earnestly: "Unless the Master can tell this young woman, what obstacles are there on the road ahead?"
