Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 241

Xuan Cheng didn’t was absent minded at that moment, looking in the direction of Qingxu Temple with complicated eyes.

He thought that the white cat would definitely tell the Taoist master.

Xie Jingyuan sat in the room, surrounded by a circle of wood. There was nothing wrong with the temple recently, and the surrounding villages and towns were also very peaceful, so he had time to make a bed for Su Miaomiao.

The window was open, and a white cat jumped up suddenly, shaking her ears, and flicking off the dust on her paws.

After tidying up, she came to Xie Jingyuan’s side, rubbed against him, and finally nestled on his shoulder.

Su Miaomiao looked at his hands at first, then slowly turned her head to stare at his face.

Su Miaomiao asked, “Taoist Master, why are other Taoist masters allowed to get married, but your temple doesn’t allow it?”

“Why are you asking this?”

She shook her tail and said, “I suddenly thought of it.”

Xie Jingyuan explained, “When the patriarch founded this temple, he did not abstain from marriage. It was changed by a temple master later, and it has continued to this day.”

Xie Jingyuan knew that once she was curious about something, she would definitely ask the bottom line, and if she didn’t get an answer, she would feel restless.

Regarding the secret of that senior, Xie Jingyuan sent a voice transmission to Su Miaomiao and said, “The old man had a marriage contract when he was young, but later the woman regretted the marriage, so he was inevitably depressed. In order to prevent other followers from also suffering from emotional pain, after the old man became the master of the temple, he changed the rules, and ordered the disciples in the temple to devote themselves to cultivation.”

Su Miaomiao said with a frown, “He himself was not liked by the woman, but other Taoist masters may be liked by others. Does he want all the disciples of Qingxu Temple to be unhappy like him?”

Xie Jingyuan looked at her frowning face, a little distracted.

“Why aren’t you speaking?” Su Miaomiao patted his face lightly.

“… There are advantages and disadvantages to modifying the rules and regulations. It’s hard to say right or wrong.”

“However, if you meet someone you like very much, and the girl also likes you very much, will you be forced to separate because of the temple?”

Su Miaomiao was very worried for Xuan Cheng. Since the girl was urged to marry by her family, if Xuan Cheng didn’t propose marriage, the girl would marry someone else.

In a hurry, she jumped off Xie Jingyuan’s shoulder, and with her tail upright, she circled around him.

Xie Jingyuan was afraid of seeing something he shouldn’t see, so he kept his eyes away.

Su Miaomiao suddenly thought of a way, jumped into his arms, supported his chest with both claws, raised her head and said, “The temple master can modify the rules of the temple, so you’re the new temple master, so you can also change the rules of the temple, right?”

Xie Jingyuan looked into her clear eyes and asked, “Why change it without a reason?”

“Can it be changed if there is one?”

Xie Jingyuan’s heart beat wildly.

Should she not…

Su Miaomiao saw that he was distracted again!

How could the Taoist master not concentrate on such a serious and urgent matter?

She patted his face lightly again.

The pads of her paws were soft, and Xie Jingyuan only felt itchy when did that twice.

He grabbed her paw, lowered his eyes and asked, “What’s the reason?”

Su Miaomiao chuckled, went close to his ear, and whispered, “I was on the mountain just now, and I saw Xuan Cheng with a girl, they…”

Xie Jingyuan: “…”

Xuan Cheng was only eighteen years old, but he met someone he liked so early?

“Xuan Cheng was crying. Taoist Master, please help him.”

Su Miaomiao stole Xuan Cheng’s hairpin after all, and since he was in trouble, she thought that he could get what he wanted.

Xie Jingyuan pressed her into his arms and stroked her head, “It depends on what the patriarch wants.”

After changing his clothes, Xie Jingyuan washed his hands and went to the side hall where the ancestor was enshrined.

Su Miaomiao squatted obediently outside the door, watched him hold the incense and bow to the patriarch, said something in a low voice, and then inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner.

The burning tops of the three incense sticks dimmed slightly, and then returned to normal, emitting wisps of light smoke.

Xie Jingyuan kowtowed and exited the side hall.

Su Miaomiao jumped into his arms, “What did the patriarch say?”

“The old man acquiesced.”

Su Miaomiao said with a smile, “The patriarch must be very happy. The patriarch might have gotten angry if the temple master modified the rules without authorization.”

Xie Jingyuan thought that the master who changed the rules of the temple was a blood descendant of the patriarch. Even if the patriarch was unhappy, he would not punish him for such a trivial matter.

Not long after burning the incense, Xuan Cheng came back with a pale face.

The matter had been revealed. No matter whether Su Miaomiao told the truth or not, Xuan Cheng couldn’t get over the barrier in his heart, so he took the initiative to see the master and knelt down.

“What happened?” Xie Jingyuan sat on the futon, and Su Miaomiao hid behind him under the Taoist robe and eavesdropped.

Xuan Cheng looked at the master, lowered his head and confessed everything, “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have met her repeatedly, which moved my heart and violated the rules of the temple.”

Xie Jingyuan said calmly, “It’s good if you can correct your mistakes. As long as you don’t associate with her in the future and concentrate on cultivation, I will keep this matter a secret for you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Miaomiao scratched his back angrily. Obviously he agreed to revise the rules, why did the Taoist master still say that?!

Xie Jingyuan’s eyebrows moved slightly, and then returned to normal.

Xuan Cheng still lowered his head, but his hands gradually grasped his knees, and a smiling face with almond eyes and peach cheeks appeared in his mind.

Her name was Cherry, and she lived in Chenxian Town. Once she came to Qingxu Temple to offer incense, and met a bad guy from out of town. Fortunately, he passed by and rescued her, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

As the name suggested, Cherry was a girl with a sweet smile.
