This was a punishment that was better than nothing when the master was so angry that Liu Zhenying knew it very well.

So, she turned around and took Qu Xiaojue's arm, raised her face, and laughed lazily: "Master has promised not to care about my affairs anymore, why don't you let him say this? He will be really angry by then.

, why don’t you give me a slap in the face of Fuchen?”

"Since Master's orders cannot be violated, then I will accompany you."

He stretched out his hand and gently pushed her long hair to one side with his big, sharp-jointed hands, speaking in advance to stop her wanting to refute: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. If I'm really sleepy, I'll go back and rest.

"

"All right."

Naturally, Liu Zhenying would not refuse Qu Xiaojue's attempt to cling to him. He held his arm and skipped towards the incense room. His casual look did not look like he was going to be punished, but rather like

To receive the award.

On the way, Qu Xiaojue accidentally chatted about Tan Lan's status in the temple: "I don't think he looks like an ordinary disciple."

"Of course."

Liu Zhenying raised his face and looked at the sparrows flying in the sky. He suddenly felt a little hungry and responded casually: "He entered the monastery earlier than me. Although the master did not accept him as his direct disciple, the feelings are still different."

Since he has a more prudent and generous temperament than me, Master asked him to take charge of all the affairs of the temple, and he is regarded as the elder in charge."

Qu Xiaojue nodded: "No wonder Master asked him to handle all matters related to you before."

"The other juniors have all been beaten by me since they were young. Maybe he is the only one in the whole group who will not be beaten by me."

The two of them chatted for a while, but after walking into the incense room, they found that there was no one inside, except for the curl of green smoke in front of the portrait of the ancestor.

This should have been arranged in advance by Tan Lan, who sent the junior brother who was keeping watch at night back.

Although there was no one to supervise, Liu Zhenying never made a fuss about such matters. She respectfully gave the Patriarch a stick of incense, then knelt on the futon, banging the wooden fish, twisting the rosary, and began to chant rapidly.

The scriptures came up.

She read so fast that even if she was listening in, she couldn't hear her clearly.

Qu Xiaojue stayed with him for nearly two hours, silently replying to documents and handling official duties throughout the process. As for the phone call, he naturally made the call after leaving the incense room.

But who would have thought that as soon as he walked out of the incense room, he looked up and saw a familiar figure standing under the tree not far away.

"Donor Qu."

Tan Lan stepped forward and bowed with a calm expression.

Qu Xiaojue naturally returned the greeting, his thin lips were very beautiful, and he opened them slightly: "Senior Brother Tan has not rested so late, is there something wrong?"

Hearing this, Tan Lan smiled slightly: "Donor Qu, it's not a big deal. It's just that Master invites you to come over."

"Now?"

"Now."

Qu Xiaojue looked into his eyes, put away the phone quietly, and nodded methodically: "In this case, please ask Senior Brother Tan to lead the way."

The night in the late winter was very dark, and the wind blew randomly around the two of them. No one spoke first along the way, it was like a silent contest.

It wasn't until he was approaching Master's courtyard that Tan Lan stepped on the dead leaves under his feet and suddenly said: "Donor Qu, have you ever thought that you and Junior Sister Liu are not suitable for each other?"

"Not suitable?" Qu Xiaojue was not surprised at all. He raised his lips slightly and followed Tan Lan with his tall figure. His unhurried tone was quite playful: "Then who does Senior Brother Tan think is suitable for my fiancée? You?"
