Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Qing felt the same way, but she also knew that the future was difficult to predict. She still had some questions and wanted to ask more, but from Tang Wanzong’s expression, it was obvious that he wouldn’t say anything else.

“Abbot, that person from the side hall is here again.” Suddenly, a young monk’s voice sounded.

Tang Wanzong nodded and left.

Xu Qing still looked confused, and she felt indescribably dejected. She kept feeling like something was bottled up in her heart.

“Ignore him. He always likes to spout nonsense,” Qiao Yanhui said as he stared at Tang Wanzong’s back.

In fact, Tang Wanzong was a senior monk. Moreover, Tang Wanzong had once foretold that Qiao Yanhui was destined to live a lonely life and be abandoned by everyone. Unless he encountered someone from beyond the stars, he wouldn’t have a good ending.

And this extraterrestrial star was Xu Qing! Because Xu Qing’s appearance had changed his life.

Xu Qing didn’t dwell on it anymore and kissed the three children. Although she didn’t know what the future would be like, she knew one thing. She would definitely protect the children well!

The three children were stunned by the kiss, but they still kissed Xu Qing back. Only the eldest son wiped the saliva off his face with a look of disdain. However, his gaze was firm. No matter how difficult the future was, he would protect his brother and sister and not let them get hurt!

After staying at Huashan Temple for a while, Xu Qing returned with Qiao Yanhui and the others. However, when she passed by a side hall, Xu Qing saw a man kneeling in front of the Buddha statue through the door crack. Most importantly, that man had white hair and his tall figure gave off a sense of loneliness.

Xu Qing heard Tang Wanzong lament, “Nine Lakes Town… might have some news about her.”

In the next second, the kneeling man stood up and the door was flung open. Xu Qing happened to be standing nearby, so she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Qiao Yanhui hurriedly supported Xu Qing and looked coldly in the direction that the man had left in.

Xu Qing patted her chest. “What’s the situation? Why is he in such a hurry?”

“The next time I see him, I’ll avenge you.” Qiao Yanhui held Xu Qing’s hand tightly. However, Nine Lakes Town was Xu Qing’s hometown…

Then, Tang Wanzong walked out. He looked in the direction where the man had left in and sighed slightly.

“Master, who is he?” Xu Qing was puzzled.

Tang Wanzong looked at Xu Qing meaningfully. “It’s fate.”

Xu Qing froze. What did that mean? What did it have to do with her?

When Xu Qing returned, she was still thinking about what Tang Wanzong had said. She felt uneasy, like something big was about to happen.

“Don’t think too much about it. I’ll take care of everything.” Qiao Yanhui patted Xu Qing’s head and pulled her into his arms.

As Xu Qing leaned into Qiao Yanhui’s arms, she looked at the three sleeping children and said softly, “Little Hui, what happened between you and the mentor of the Huashan Temple?”

“When I was young, I almost died at that person’s hands. It was Old Master Tang who saved me, taught me martial arts, and protected me. He buried my mother and brother and erected their memorial tablets.”

Qiao Yanhui didn’t explain much, but Xu Qing could sense his sadness and pain from his words.

Xu Qing didn’t ask in detail and only hugged Qiao Yanhui gently. “Me and the children will always be by your side in the future.”

Qiao Yanhui hugged Xu Qing tightly, his eyes filled with happiness. In the past, he resented the injustice of the heavens. Now that he had Xu Qing, he felt satisfied. After all, for a person who had lost many things, he was quite easy to satisfy.

Their days were uneventful for the time being. Xu Sizhi and Xie Pengyang had come a few times and told them about the business. Their current profits were already very impressive.

Xu Qing was naturally happy about this. After all, this way, her power would increase. This would be of great help and protection to her and Qiao Yanhui!

“I received an invitation yesterday.” Xu Sizhi looked at Xu Qing and said hesitantly.

“What invitation?” Xu Qing was feeding the three children the citrus that her parents had sent. She saw that Xu Sizhi’s expression was a little strange.

“It’s for Mr. Bei Shu.” Xu Sizhi looked troubled.

“Didn’t you reject them in the past?” Xu Qing looked at the troubled Xu Sizhi and said.

Xu Sizhi nodded. “This time, the situation is a little special. It’s from Emperor Ao Heng.”

Xu Qing froze. Ao Heng invited Mr. Bei Shu?

“What time?” Xu Qing sounded heavy-hearted.
